Luo Jia obtained a large amount of agricultural technical data from Lan Yu, so he started another round of high-intensity learning. At the same time, he handed over the summarized and sorted data to the company's Ministry of Agriculture, where researchers from the Ministry of Agriculture will conduct scientific research and development.

Yes, Xingchen Technology has always had a Ministry of Agriculture, and the scale is quite large. Even Xingchen University has a major in agriculture and forestry, but they are still running step by step and have not achieved results, so people in the world just don’t know.

Besides, in the field of agriculture, one must be able to withstand loneliness.

Mr. Yuan Longping is famous, but if you ask what varieties he has developed, how much production, how much protein content, how much domestic and foreign sales, etc., I'm afraid that not many people across the country can answer them.

In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, modern times are an era of entertainment until death. Ordinary people do not understand science and pursue celebrities and eye-catching economy will be the norm for many years to come.

If you accidentally bewitched by the author of this book and embark on the path of science, then you will be destined to be lonely. Unless you know how to enjoy loneliness, please be cautious about science. All the principles from ancient times to the present are warning us that if a person knows too much, he will often become independent and withdrawn.

Anyway, Xingchen Technology has a Ministry of Agriculture, but it is a bit different. For example, the Chemistry Department managed by Zhang Dongning actually has a considerable number of researchers who also serve as research on pesticides and fertilizers. In the Life Science Department of the Wen brothers, there are also some researchers who also serve as research on agricultural genetic engineering.

In Xingchen Technology, which is full of geniuses, it is difficult for you to limit a researcher to only engage in specific jobs. Many people hold multiple jobs. This is the significance of the interest group system, allowing everyone to exert their talents in other fields after work.

North America, Washington.

A fierce debate is ongoing, and the focus is on how to impose agricultural sanctions on China.

As we all know, since the beginning of the trade war or hegemony dispute, China and the United States have taken action several times and played their respective cards. Now North America cannot find a good trump card, so they have taken the initiative in the agricultural field, which shows how fierce the battle for hegemony is.

There are two options, one is sanctions in the conventional sense, which prohibits the sale of pesticides and seeds to Chinese customers.

Another solution is agricultural dumping, where North American authorities will take out funds to subsidize agricultural products, dump them at low prices and enter the Chinese market, destroying China's own agricultural foundation.

The dumping plan is also the favorite of Huaxia Comprador Group. No matter whether it destroys farmers' enthusiasm for farming, it is good as long as it can make money. For the comprador group, no matter which country the food is eaten, it is enough to eat enough.

The fierce debate lasted for two full days, during which countless experts came to the stage to give speeches, and the lawmakers launched tit-for-tat attacks. Both sides tried their best to prove that their plans could bring greater damage to China.

The sanctions believe that China can only meet its own food needs, but most of the food needs of agricultural and sideline products, such as vegetable oil, meat, eggs and milk, rely on imports. Once the sanctions begin, China will fall into a dilemma of having food but not meat, or the meat price is so high that it makes people scold them, thus shaking China's foundation.

The dumping faction believes that cutting off supply will only bring temporary pain to China, forcing them to upgrade their agriculture to cope with the situation of no external supply and self-sufficiency. Over time, China's agriculture will take the opportunity to rise and will no longer be afraid of sanctions.

In this case, low-priced agricultural products can be used to impact the Chinese market and kill China's current small peasant economy. At the lowest level, China must also rely heavily on agricultural products from abroad, so as to make it a severe blow to China in the future.

The dumping faction also cited the example of soybeans. Due to the trade war, China banned the entry of North American soybeans, but what happened during that period?

The lucky Brazilians stood up. They bought North American soybeans and ate them themselves, and then sold Brazilian soybeans to China. After a while, China still imported an astonishing amount of soybeans, but there was a second-hand dealer in the middle, which peeled a layer of skin from the transaction.

In the end, the dumping faction won the victory. The North American authorities united the entire West to provide huge subsidies to their agricultural institutions, secretly driving these agriculture and launching a fierce price war on China.

...

"How to dump agriculture?" Cao Yuan said with confusion: "Selling soybeans to us at a low price? Isn't this just right? Anyway, we don't have enough land to grow soybeans. Buy a part first and then import them after the project in the East China Sea is completed."

"Assets like agricultural products should be easy to control, right? If the taxes and quotas are not enough, let the customs conduct large-scale random inspections, and then return the agricultural products on the grounds that the quality does not meet the standards. Anyway, there are many ways, it depends on how to do it. I believe that the national team has some means."

Autumn is the season of harvest. As soon as September begins, news of Western agricultural dumping is heard, so the Star Technology Administration has started a discussion.

Cao Yuan's ideas also represent the ideas of most people in China. Compared with high-tech lifelines such as semiconductors and precision components, the people generally believe that the agricultural war is irrelevant. If you can maintain the red line of arable land, you can achieve self-sufficiency in food and there will be no chaos.

Alas ~

Luo Jia shook her head gently, "Your idea is too naive. Of course, you can't blame you. After all, agriculture is too unpopular. There are not many people who really understand it in China."

Frowning slightly, Luo Jia glanced at her friends around her and said in a deep voice: "The agricultural foundation of our country is probably much worse than everyone imagined. Although my hometown is not in Shandong, it is very close to me and her living habits are somewhat similar. When making cold dishes, I like to add more scallions and garlic, which is more heavy-tasting."

"I think everyone has heard of Shandong green onions. That thing is very magical and can grow taller than adults, which completely subverts the southern people's perception of onions. In addition, the Shandong people used to love eating some raw onions, so they were also ridiculed as a onions province."

"But do you know that such a famous Shandong green onion is actually used for imported seeds."

When Luo Jia finished saying this, everyone's face changed drastically. The first half sounded like a joke. Who doesn't know that even Shandong people like to tease themselves, but something was getting worse and worse later. Shandong green onions are actually imported varieties? This is a bit subverting the cognition. After listening to it, I felt a little nervous.

Luo Jia paused and continued, "I didn't lie to you. Among the seed suppliers of Shandong green onion, Neon enterprises account for more than 90%, mainly from Neon Takii and Musashino Group."

"Of course there are domestic seeds, but the technological content is much worse, and the market share is less than 10%. Now Neon is following the West to dump us. In the future, the share of domestic green onion seeds will probably not be able to keep a few percent."

"If there is no market and no money, domestic agricultural enterprises will have no motivation to engage in research and development. If they do not engage in research and development, the bigger the gap will be. In the long run, it will form a vicious cycle and be gradually left behind by Western agricultural enterprises."

There was silence in the conference room. No one knew about agriculture, nor did they know that the competition faced by agriculture was actually far more intense and cruel than the traditional technology field.

If the people of Onion Province knew that the scallion they were proud of was actually imported seeds, they would feel a little uncomfortable.

Luo Jia continued: "I'm taking green onions as an example just to give an example. In fact, our dependence on Western seeds is much more serious than I imagined."

"Broccoli is the favorite of fitness enthusiasts, and the broccoli species are mainly dominated by three companies, namely Neon SAKATTA, North American monsanto, and Switzerland Syngenta, which is Syngenta. Fortunately, Syngenta has been acquired by Sinochem, so in the field of broccoli, there is finally a domestic force."

"Next, let's look at onions, which is also an important vegetable. Not long ago, Indian onions have reduced production, which almost caused riots to break out throughout the South Asian subcontinent. Although we don't love onions so much, if we make dishes like cumin lamb chops, we really can't miss it. At present, onion seeds are 100% imported from North American nunhems, and Neon TOKITA, and they both have equal color."

"We not only import a large amount of seeds from Europe, America and Japan every year, but also from Thailand. Chaotian pepper is an important raw material for making Laoganma. If there is no East-west from Thailand and the seeds provided by Charoenix Group in Thailand, we would not have Laoganma. Recently, everyone said that Laoganma's taste is not as good as before. In fact, it is because the Chaotian pepper seeds of Charoenix are very expensive, and they have been replaced with some cheap goods."

"In addition, carrot seeds are basically dominated by two neon companies. SAKATTA and MIKADO are known as the king of carrots, and Western Agricultural Group cannot beat them."

"Spinach seeds mainly come from Neon TAKII and Syngenta. The most unfortunate thing is kohlrabi. This thing was originally a local variety in Zhejiang, but due to the poor R&D capabilities of domestic agricultural enterprises, it has been dominated by Neon Musashino Group."

"There are too many examples in the same way. After years of hard work, our country finally accounts for half of each of North America, while 70% of tomato seeds need to be imported. The situation of cabbage seeds is slightly better, my country accounts for two-thirds and South Korea accounts for one-third."

When Luo Jia talked about this, everyone was stunned. I really didn’t know if I didn’t say it. When I was shocked, who would have thought that most of the vegetables we eat on a daily basis were imported varieties.

"Then there are no seeds in our country that can be used for love? This is too miserable, right?" Cao Yuan couldn't help complaining.

Luo Jia shrugged, "Of course not, seeds like cucumber, bitter melon, pumpkin, etc. are basically controlled by our country. Generally speaking, as for the vegetable and fruit field, imported seeds account for about 80%. For example, apples, you will know by the name. Red Fuji, of course, uses neon seedlings."

"In short, the problem of agriculture is actually much more complicated and severe than everyone thinks."
