Chapter 138 Harvest Season

"According to the estimates of the United Nations Food Program, due to the aggravation of the new Ebola epidemic, the total global food gap will further increase to 1.1 million tons, and the number of hungry people will exceed one billion!"

"The government of the rainbow country plans to reduce food exports and further increase the scale of food imports."

"ADM's grain exports will shrink further due to lower grain production."

"According to the international futures market, the international grain price has risen further and has reached 500 US dollars per ton."

"."

With the outbreak of the epidemic, global undercurrents continue to surge.

On one side are African refugees who have been devastated by the epidemic and are in the midst of famine, and on the other side are the grain capital that is sitting on the ground and raising prices, waiting for a price.

In this invisible food war, it is definitely not the capitalists who are finally injured, but the suffering people.

Looking at Qin Ruolan's happy expression in the video, Lu Chen couldn't help but said, "It seems that Huanyu Agricultural Company has gained a lot, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy."

"you guess?"

Qin Ruolan blinked.

"We have a total of 973 million mu of arable land. Based on the yield of 2.6 tons per mu of arable land, it is estimated that our autumn grain harvest will be around 500 million tons."

Unexpectedly, Qin Ruolan proudly said: "You guessed wrong, the answer is 3000 million tons!"

"How come there are so many?"

Lu Chen was quite surprised. You must know that Huaguo's annual grain output is only 6.9 million tons, which also includes other crops such as wheat and corn. The output of rice alone is only 2.1 million tons a year in Huaguo.

In other words, the rice production of Huanyu Agricultural Company in one quarter has already caught up with one-seventh of Huaguo's annual production.

Thinking about it makes people feel horrible. In this year, won't it be able to reach four-sevenths of Huaguo's annual output?
This is still the case that Huanyu Trading Company has less than 50% of the arable land in Kanya. If all the arable land in Kanya is owned by Huanyu Agriculture Company, the annual output will definitely exceed the rice output of Huaguo.

Hearing Lu Chen's doubts, Qin Ruolan in the video proudly said: "973 million mu of arable land is an old calendar. In fact, our current arable land area is 1171 million mu."

1171 million mu of arable land, this makes sense!

3000 million tons of grain, what is this concept?
According to the international rice price of 500 US dollars per ton, 3000 million tons is 150 billion US dollars!
This is only the output of Huanyu Trading Company for one quarter.

Next, Huanyu Trading Company will definitely acquire and lease more arable land to grow food.

The arable land in Kanya is not too much, but don’t forget that there are more than 50 countries in Africa, with a total arable land area of ​​26.1 billion mu.

Most of these cultivated lands are in a state of desertion, which is the main reason why Africans are always hungry.

Huanyu Agricultural Company has only cultivated 1000 million mu of land, and can harvest 3000 million tons of grain in the first quarter. After a year, the grain output can reach 1.2 million tons.

With 26.1 billion mu of land, Lu Chen does not require all of it to be cultivated, as long as he can cultivate half of the land, he can feed the world's population.

After all, based on the current world population of 70 billion, an average person consumes 21 kilograms of grain per year, which means [-] billion tons of grain per year.

This data, Huanyu Trading Company only needs to cultivate [-] million mu of arable land to easily achieve it.

what does this mean?
It means that Huanyu Trading Company will dominate the global food price in the near future.

ADM is the largest food company in the world. In the past few decades, it has supplied food to more than 200 countries around the world, and the value of food exported every year is hundreds of billions.

There are three other global grain companies of the same size as ADM, namely Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus.

These four grain companies have almost monopolized international grain prices.

In other words, international food prices are decided by the four of them.

Kissinger, a North American strategist, once said: If you control oil, you will control all countries; if you control food, you will control human beings; if you control currency, you will control the global economy.

And the United States can dominate the world, it is also around the implementation of these three strategies.

As it turns out, this works pretty well.

At its peak, the United States once firmly controlled these three lifelines, and used its powerful military power to escort these three lifelines.

Even now, the United States has gradually declined, but as long as it still controls these three lifelines, all countries in the world will have to rely on it.

You are not short of food, but you are always short of oil, right?
You have no shortage of food or oil, so you want to use US dollars for foreign trade transactions?
What?You don't need anything and don't need dollars?

See if I don't ask my younger brother to kill you!

Probably like this.

After listening to Qin Ruolan's report, Lu Chen couldn't help feeling a burst of ecstasy.

How much money the Huanyu Agricultural Company can make from the harvested grain is second.

The point is, he needs Huanyu Agricultural Company to completely control the grain industry in Kanya.

Judging from the current situation, it is very easy to do this.

The total population of Kanya is less than 900 million, and the annual grain consumption is only 270 million tons, which is less than one-tenth of 3000 million tons.

Lu Chen plans to export the remaining grain to other African countries.

It just so happened that Africa is currently in a food shortage situation, and other countries have to buy these grains, and only Lu Chen originally intended to sell them the grain at a price lower than the market price at this time.

Other international grain merchants are waiting to sit on the ground and raise prices, ready to slaughter African countries.

Of course, African countries are not only short of food, they are also short of money!

Except for a few countries, the domestic economy of most African countries can be described as a mess.

At this time, even if Lu Chen intended to sell them food at the market price, they would not be able to afford it.

Give them for nothing?

Of course not!
In fact, this is also the second step of Lu Chen's plan.

It doesn't matter if you can't afford food, you can get a loan from the Civilization Construction Bank!

Oh, by the way, as a Kannian agricultural company, Huanyu Trading Company only accepts Xia yuan for grain.

In this way, the Xia yuan will occupy a pivotal position in African countries, because only this currency can buy high-quality and cheap food.

Besides, there is a third purpose for Lu Chen to do this.

That is to completely destroy the agriculture of African countries!

You must know that except for a few industrialized countries, the vast majority of countries in Africa are agriculturalized countries, and the entire country's economy is supported by agriculture.

The sharp drop in grain prices has hurt the most, precisely the farmers who cultivate the land.

The principle that low grain hurts the people is common in all countries.

The low grain price of Huanyu Agricultural Company will definitely greatly reduce the enthusiasm of farmers to cultivate the land.

At that time, African countries will inevitably abandon a large amount of cultivated land again, and more and more farmers will not be willing to cultivate land.

The Huanyu Agricultural Company just took this opportunity to acquire these abandoned farmlands and completely control the food industry in African countries.

As long as this goal can be achieved, and supported by a strong military force, Lu Chen will be the uncrowned king in Africa, and no one can shake his position in Africa.
