How much does high-yield seeds contribute to the increase in food production?

According to Zhang Hai's understanding, the contribution rate of high-yield seeds to the increase in grain production is more than 30%, even as much as 40 to 50%, and its importance is beyond everyone's imagination.

It can be seen that the impact of high-yield seeds on food production also shows the significance of cultivating high-yield seeds for domestic agriculture.

However, the current status quo is the decline of the domestic breeding industry. Faced with the powerful international seed industry giants, they have been beaten up to nothing.

Take the world's more than 20 seed industry trading countries, the United States is undoubtedly ranked first, accounting for 19%.

Next are the Netherlands and France. As a major agricultural country, China's seed trade is only ranked 19th.

Think about it, how big is this gap??

Among the world's top ten seed companies, most of them are in developed countries, of which only the United States occupies 4 seats.

Monsanto (USA), DuPont (USA), Syngenta (Switzerland), Limagrain (France), Saint Nis (Mexico), Edvata (Netherlands), Dow Chemical (USA), KWSAG (Germany), DeltaPineLand ( United States), Aventis (Germany).

Among them, Monsanto and DuPont dominate the top two positions for a long time, and crop seeds are almost monopolized by these agricultural giants.

The advantages of corn, soybeans, cotton, canola, and alfalfa are in the United States.Among them, Monsanto's dominance in the seed industry has not been shaken yet.

In addition to the above-mentioned four major US seed companies' monopoly on crop seeds, some large-scale companies in the United States such as Beck's (corn), AgReliant Genetics (soybean), Landuo Lake (alfalfa) SWSeed (sorghum and sunflower), etc. also performed well.It is no exaggeration to say that the United States has almost achieved absolute control over the global crop seed market.

Since crop seeds are monopolized by commercial companies dominated by the United States, commercial capital in other countries has to increase their seed distribution for vegetable and flower seeds.

Among them, Europe and Israel have divided the global vegetable seed market.

The Netherlands is the world's largest flower exporter (accounting for 40-50% of the international flower market) and the world's fourth largest exporter of agricultural products.

The main seed business of Edvata in the country is rape and sunflower;

Ruixwang Seedling Company is a world-renowned vegetable seed company, and ranks fifth in the world in terms of vegetable management. The "Brieta" eggplant promoted in Dongshan Shouguang is touted as an "eggplant tree";

In addition, there are "Safiro" peppers, "Talando" colorful peppers and other products that have occupied most of the Chinese market; Ansa Seeds is an old Dutch vegetable seed company that started with cabbage, carrots, and onions. Shanghai is a global leader.

Other countries have also increased their efforts in the seed market

The Limagrain Agricultural Cooperative Organization in France is the world's largest vegetable seed company; Saint Niss is the largest seed company in Mexico, whose main seed business is fruits and vegetables;

France Annet is the fourth largest vegetable seed company in the world;

Israel’s Hazera company is known for its small tomato seeds. The company’s main product in China is the "Summer Sunshine" small tomato, which has created the highest record for the price of seeds in China. 280 grams);

After RB Takii Seedling Company acquired Turkey's RitoSeed vegetable breeding company, it has also gained a share of the global vegetable seed market;

Denmark JensenSeeds is a global leader in the field of hybrid gambling.

It needs to be pointed out that even if European seed companies have advantages in the vegetable seed industry with Israel, RB, Mexico and other countries, the United States is still not far behind.In the field of vegetable seeds, Monsanto also maintained its leading position, with sales of US$816 million in 2015.

And domestic seed companies have done little

Therefore, as the world's largest agricultural country, China has almost completely become a seed dumping ground for developed countries.

As early as the 1980s, multinational companies such as DuPont, Monsanto, and Syngenta began to quietly lay out and seize the Chinese market. They set up offices in China, hired technicians, established R&D centers, arranged variety experiments, and participated in local shares. Market advantage of seed companies, establishment of joint ventures, etc.

Currently, there are more than 70 foreign seed companies registered in my country.Large foreign companies quickly controlled more than 50% of my country's market share of high-end vegetable seeds by virtue of their advanced technology, strong capital, and rich experience in international market operations.After the United States successfully defeated China's soybean and cotton seed industries, corn and rice seeds are also at risk.

Seeing these information, Zhang Hai was suffocated in his heart, and he really wanted to immediately throw himself into this seed war and defeat all these agricultural giants!

It is a pity that Zhang Hai knows that his ideas are very unrealistic. Even if he has golden fingers, it is difficult to defeat these seed industry giants.

Therefore, after Zhang Hai calmed down, he felt that he still had to keep his feet on the ground. He could first set up a breeding company or directly purchase a ready-made company to verify his golden finger and see if it would help breeding.

But this matter is not urgent, it needs a long-term consideration!!

Zhang Hai walked out of the office, Wang Lei walked over, and then smiled and asked:

"Boss, what do you want to harvest the corn on our farm?"

"Don't worry, I met Professor Wang today. He suggested that we harvest in a few days and let the corn dry to avoid it" Zhang Hai replied with a smile.

Generally, when the milk line of the grain begins to disappear, the ear bracts are yellow and loose, and the plant has no more than 5 green leaves, it is the best harvest time for corn, and it is most suitable to harvest corn.

At this time, it was early August, and only the corn planted by other villagers could eat tender corn. Zhang Hai's corn was nearing the harvest time.

No, when Zhang Hai walked into the village, every villager he met asked him when he would harvest corn.

"Xiao Hai, when will your corn be harvested, remember to tell me in advance!" As soon as Zhang Hai walked to the entrance of the village, his uncle walked out of his small shop.

Hearing what the uncle said, Zhang Hai was a little confused, and wanted to tell you in advance what he was doing??

Seeing Zhang Hai’s masked face, Zhang Guoqing smiled, and then explained: “That’s right, the county leaders have greeted me before, saying that they must come and see when your corn is harvested. Look, to witness the birth of the new national yield record, I guess there will be leaders from the city and even the province to come over by then!"

Hearing the uncle’s explanation, Zhang Hai suddenly felt.

The high yield of their own corn has become a major breakthrough in the agricultural field of Qian Province. Of course, the leaders have to go to the scene to witness the birth of a new national yield record. This is not a big achievement.

Moreover, the arrival of the leaders will not only have no impact on Zhang Hai, but can even bring Zhang Hai a lot of preferential policies. Therefore, he is also happy to see the results. He hopes that his corn can live up to expectations and successfully create a new yield. recording.
