The big guy starts with raising pigs

Chapter 105 Current Situation of Seed Industry at Home and Abroad
To what extent do high-yielding seeds contribute to increased food production?
According to Zhang Hai's understanding, the contribution rate of high-yielding seeds to the increase in grain production is more than 30.00%, and can even reach as much as [-]-[-]%. Its importance is beyond everyone's imagination.

It can be seen from this that the impact of high-yield seeds on grain production is great, and it also shows the great significance of cultivating high-yield seeds to domestic agriculture.

But the current status quo is the decline of the domestic breeding industry. Facing the powerful international seed industry giants, they are helpless to fight back.

Taking the more than 20 major seed trading countries in the world as examples, the United States undoubtedly ranks first, accounting for 19%.

It is followed by the Netherlands and France, while China, a major agricultural country, only ranks 19th in seed trade.

Think about it, how big is the gap? ?
Among the top ten seed companies in the world, most of them are located in developed countries, of which the United States alone occupies 4 seats.

Monsanto (USA), DuPont (USA), Syngenta (Switzerland), Limagrain (France), Saint Nice (Mexico), Edvarta (Netherlands), Dow Chemicals (USA), KWS AG (Germany), Delta & Pine Land (USA), Aventis Corporation (Germany).

Among them, Monsanto and DuPont have dominated the top two seats for a long time, and crop seeds are almost monopolized by these agricultural giants
The advantages of corn, soybeans, cotton, rapeseed, and alfalfa are in the United States.Among them, Monsanto's dominance in the seed industry has not been shaken so far.

In addition to the monopoly of the above-mentioned four major US seed companies on crop seeds, some large-scale companies in the United States such as Beck's (corn), AgReliant Genetics (soybean), Lando Lake (alfalfa) S&W Seed (sorghum and sunflower), etc. are also doing 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 no choice but to increase their efforts in seed distribution for vegetable and flower seeds.

Among them, Europe and Israel have divided up 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 Edwata Company in the country is rapeseed and sunflower;

Ruixwang Seedling Company is a world-renowned vegetable seed company, ranking fifth in the world in terms of vegetable management. The "Brieta" eggplant it promotes in Dongshan Shouguang is boasted as "eggplant tree";
In addition, there are "Safiro" peppers, "Talando" colorful peppers and other products that have occupied most of the Chinese market; Ansha Seed Company is an old Dutch vegetable seed company that started from cabbage, carrots, and onions. in a global leadership position.

Other countries have also stepped up their efforts in the seed market
The French Limagrain Agricultural Cooperation Organization is the largest vegetable seed company in the world; Sannis is the largest seed company in Mexico, and its main seed business is melons, fruits and vegetables;
Annette Company of France is the fourth largest vegetable seed company in the world;
Israel's Hazera Company is good at small tomato seeds. The company's flagship product in China is "Summer Sunshine" small tomato, which has created the highest seed price record in China. The unit price exceeds gold (the unit price is 220 yuan/gram, the price of gold 280/g);

After RB Takii Seedling Company acquired Turkey's Rito Seed vegetable breeding company, it also gained a share in the global vegetable seed market;

Denmark's Jensen Seeds is a global leader in hybrid spinach.

It should be pointed out that even though seed companies in Europe, Israel, RB, Mexico and other countries have advantages in the vegetable seed industry, the United States is still not far behind.In vegetable seeds, Monsanto also maintains its leadership position, with sales of $2015 million in 8.16.

And domestic seed companies do almost nothing
Therefore, China, the largest agricultural country in the world, has almost completely become a seed dumping ground for developed countries.

As early as the 80s, multinational companies such as DuPont, Monsanto, and Syngenta began to quietly lay out and seize the Chinese market. They set up offices in the country, hired technical personnel, established R&D centers, arranged variety tests, and participated in local companies. Advantageous seed enterprises in the market, the establishment of joint ventures and so on.

At present, there are more than 70 foreign-funded seed enterprises registered in my country.With their advanced technology, abundant funds, and rich experience in international market operations, large foreign companies quickly controlled more than 50% of the market share of high-end vegetable seeds in my country.After the United States successfully defeated China's soybean and cotton seed industries, corn and rice seeds are also in jeopardy.

Seeing these materials, Zhang Hai felt a pang of anger in his heart. He really wanted to join this seed war immediately and defeat all these agricultural giants!

It's a pity that Zhang Hai knew that his idea was very unrealistic. Even if he had a golden finger, it would be difficult to defeat these giants of the seed industry.

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 acquire an existing company to verify his golden finger and see if it would be helpful for breeding.

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

Seeing Zhang Hai walk out of the office, Wang Lei walked over and asked with a smile:

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

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

Generally, when the grain milk line starts to disappear, the bract leaves of the ears are yellow and loose, and the plant has no more than 5 green leaves, it is the best harvest period for corn. The corn harvested at this time has fuller corn kernels and higher yield.

It was only the first ten days of August at this time, and the corn planted by other villagers could only eat tender corn, and Zhang Hai's corn was approaching the harvest time.

No, as soon as Zhang Hai came to the village, every villager he met asked him when he would harvest the corn.

"Xiao Hai, when will your corn be harvested, remember to tell me in advance!" Zhang Hai just walked to the entrance of the village when his uncle came out of his canteen.

Hearing what the uncle said, Zhang Hai was a little puzzled, and wanted to tell you what to do in advance?
Seeing Zhang Hai's face covered in circles, Zhang Guoqing smiled, and then explained: "That's right, the leaders of the county have greeted me before, saying that they must come over when your corn is harvested." Look, if you want to witness the new national yield record, I guess not only the leaders of the county and city, but even the leaders of the province may come over!"

Hearing the uncle's explanation, Zhang Hai suddenly realized,

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

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