China actively promotes the maintenance of world food security

△ On the Farm of Winani, Zimbabewichno, an employee of Anhui Farmers' Reclamation Group and Zimbabwe jointly established a tractor to plow the tractor with a tractor.

The sustainable development and future destiny of food security relations are an important foundation for building a community of human destiny. China has been committed to promoting international cooperation in the field of grain, joined hands with countries to enhance sustainable agricultural production capacity, enhance the toughness of the food system, ensure the smooth supply of food supply chain, and jointly maintain global food security.

China is a reliable partner of the United Nations and the majority of developing countries in the field of food security. China has established agricultural cooperation zones with developing countries, and has developed agricultural science and technology exchanges with more than 140 countries and regions. It has promoted more than 1,000 agricultural technology to the majority of developing countries to drive the average production of crops in the project area by 30 % -60 %. Since the beginning of this year, China has provided more than 15,000 tons of emergency humanitarian food assistance to developing countries in need, and will continue to make new efforts to promote world food security.

Actively promote global sustainable development

In 2021, China proposed a global development initiative, taking food safety as one of the eight major cooperation areas, and injecting new impetus into international development cooperation. A number of practical actions that China actively carried out in the global agricultural cooperation zone proved that China is a reliable partner of the United Nations and the majority of developing countries in the field of grain security. Important pillars.

From drinking tea, coffee to making bread and barbecue, Ethiopian's life cannot be separated from sugar. Constructed by China Industry Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Machinery Industry Group Co., Ltd., is built by China Industry International Engineering Co., Ltd., located in the Beloris 1 sugar factory project in Zaway Town, Amhara, Ethi. People's Livelihood Project ". In April 2019, at Ethiopia Sugar Company, China Industry International began to continue the sugar factory project. In just two years, the sugar factory was put into production smoothly. After the Beloris No. 1 sugar plant project is put into production, in the state of full load production, 1200 tons of essence can be produced daily, which greatly enhances Ethiopia's sugar production capacity and saves a large amount of foreign exchange required for imported sugar for Ethiopia. These funds are used for use. With other urgent food crops and products such as imported edible oil and wheat, the project has created favorable conditions for the sustainable development of the entire country. The sugar factory also brings nearly 5,000 jobs to the local area. The project is also equipped with a generator set. While ensuring production capacity, it can also transmit external electricity to alleviate the power supply pressure in the local dry season.

In Cambodia in Southeast Asia, the land is fertile, the sun and the rain are sufficient, and it is suitable for the development of the banana planting industry. The group cultivation seedlings are the key to planting bananas. Due to many reasons, Cambodia ’s local banana planting enterprises seriously lack the technology and capabilities of cultivating seedlings cultivation. In order to strengthen the sustainable development capabilities of local enterprises, in 2017, the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences, the Hainan Provincial Department of Agriculture signed an agreement with the Royal Agricultural University of Cambodia to assist the technical equipment and consumables of the Banana Correction Center in Cambodia in the middle direction. Experts are responsible for central operation. In October 2018, the Banana Group of the Banana Group of the Royal Agricultural University of Cambodia was officially put into operation, becoming the "breeding base" and "large households for seedlings" of the local banana industry. The center has become a training base for Cambodia's agriculture, especially the banana planting industry. Ji Hong, the president of the Royal Agricultural University of Agricultural University in Cambodia, said that agricultural cooperation between Cambodia and Central Cambodia brought well -being and hope to Cambodian agricultural practitioners.

On December 18, 2020, the "China -Latin American Agricultural Education Science and Technology Innovation Alliance" formed by many agricultural science and technology institutions in China and Latin America was officially established. This is established by South China Agricultural University and led, including non -governmental, non -profit openness, and international multilateral cooperation platforms added by 63 agricultural universities, scientific research institutions and enterprises in China and 15 countries in Latin America. On June 15, 2022, South China Agricultural University further signed the "Chinese+Agricultural Science and Educational Development Center" with the Federal University of Chaping Ge Autonomous University in Mexico and the Brazilian Matugrozo Federal University.

Liu Yahong, president of South China Agricultural University, told reporters that the alliance mainly focuses on the selection of high -quality new varieties, digital agriculture, smart agriculture, green agriculture, animal and plant epidemic prevention and control, agricultural machinery equipment, grain loss, agricultural quality and safety, agricultural products, agricultural and rural areas In the fields of environmental governance, accurate innovation cooperation is carried out, and through the establishment of cooperation platforms, innovative cooperation mechanisms, and strengthening resource sharing, it will promote the mutual benefit and integration of China's agricultural education science and technology field in China and Latin America. "Although our country and Latin American countries are far away, they are the birthplace of the world’ s farming civilization. The geographical climate conditions are similar. Whether it is to deal with the challenge of the epidemic or ensure the safety of food, the vision of the sustainable development of agriculture is connected. To the future, promote agricultural cooperation towards a higher level, "she said.

Enhance the toughness of the global food industry chain

△ On July 13, 2021, a member of the Chinese expert group checked Miaoqing in the rice demonstration area of ​​the Central and Western Regions of Burkina.

Under the impact of external factors such as climate and ecology, the complexity, vulnerability, uncertainty and volatility of the international grain supply chain increased significantly, and the stability and toughness of the global agricultural grain industry chain accepted severe tests. As the backbone of the "going global" of agriculture, Chinese enterprises have given full play to their own industrial advantages, actively carry out agricultural and food cooperation with all parties in the world, enhance the toughness of the global grain industry chain, and promote the construction of an open world economy and build a community of human destiny. The "Belt and Road" has always been the main producing area of ​​grain such as rice and wheat in the world. The agricultural resources are rich. However, due to the low level of economic development, lack of facilities, insufficient investment, etc. limit.

Indonesia is fertile and the climate is suitable for agricultural production. West Garrimantan is one of the main crop regions of Indonesia. For a long time, due to the low level of local agricultural production technology, each hectare of rice only harvested for one season in one year, and the annual output is only about 1.8 tons, and the farmers' income is small. In 2014, the agronomist team of Sinochem Holding Co., Ltd., a member of the Sinoma Group, began to guide local farmers to improve farming technology. The rice became cooked one year and the output was greatly increased. The annual output of rice was about 7 To 8 tons, even about 9 tons. Xianzhengda Group also opened sales for the local rice through the e -commerce team, organized farmers to form mutual assistance groups to provide agricultural technical training and financial services for these farmers.

Over the years, China and Indonesia have actively interacted in many fields such as hybrid rice planting, economic crop development, and agricultural technical exchanges. The Sanda Group is empowering farmers through scientific and technological innovation. It has a fixed team of agronomy divisions on the main islands such as Java, Bali, Sulawesi, and Sumatra. Provide professional and technical guidance, including selection, irrigation, fertilization, etc. Xianzhengda Group also promotes excellent seed varieties locally to provide plant protection plans to provide farmers with agricultural insurance. The breeding team has cultivated excellent hybrid corn seeds based on the local soil and climate conditions of Indonesia, which effectively helps farmers solve the problem of pests and insect pests.

As one of the leading enterprises in China's agricultural and grain industry, COFCO Group also actively continuously expands the road of international agricultural and food cooperation, becoming an in -depth participant to build the global agricultural and grain industry chain. In Thailand, from December to April of the following year, it is the cassava harvest season. Fresh potato harvested by local farmers can only be sold to the surrounding small starch factories. In the ground, it is very unfavorable to the increase in local farmers' income and agricultural development. COFCO Biochemical Thai Corporation, a subsidiary of COFCO Group, has successfully broke through the production process of fresh cassava fermentation by actively developing, thereby changing the problem of "difficulty in selling potatoes" in the local farmers: farmers can immediately sell fresh cassa to COFCO in the harvest season, and You can receive food money the next day. This innovation not only reduces the company's high -priced dry potato procurement and the cost of dry potato storage, and more effectively promotes the increase in local farmers' income, but also drives more than 300 local employment.

In Cambodia, COFCO Group has carried out in -depth agricultural and grain trade and provided them with agricultural science and technology guidance to help the local area of ​​great increase in rice production and production capacity. Imported rice accounted for about 40%of the total exports of rice in Cambodia, which greatly increased the local rice production, single yield and processing capacity, and drove the construction of local drying, warehousing, and logistics facilities. In Tajikistan, which is located in Central Asia, in response to the large demand for local flour but relying on imports, COFCO Industry, a subsidiary of COFCO, actively undertakes the 400T/D wheat processing set of Talikistan Dusan. The still region ended the situation where the flour depends entirely on imports.

While China's in -depth promotion of South -South cooperation and helping developing countries explore the road of food security development suitable for national conditions, it is also actively exploring a new model of international grain cooperation. COFCO Group's overseas platform COFCO International Co., Ltd. and South African farms have jointly opened a new model of production and sales cooperation. The reporter learned that this innovation cooperation began in 2009. COFCO International and the farm located in the entire process of planting, procurement, processing, trade, logistics and other links are closely collaborated to promote agricultural production, farmers' income, ensure food safety, improve the safety of food, improve the improvement The well -being of the people's livelihood has also been recognized by the local government and the people.

As an example, the province of Mipmalanda in the eastern part of South Africa has been frequently affected by abnormal climate in recent years. Water, drought, and locusts have continued, and agricultural production and sales are often affected. The main economic crops here include corn, sorghum, and sunflower seeds. COFCO International signed a contract with local farmers. During the production stage, COFCO International provided the corn market price dynamic information and the news of the warning of climate change. In the season, after the corn harvest is completed, it is stored in the tube bag provided by the COFCO International South Africa company, and is then uniformly transported into the mechanized tube warehouse. During the sales stage, the company will help the farm choose the best time to sell according to the global market price change. Compensation for farms will also be provided in some special periods. This cooperation model has now expanded to 43 farms in South Africa, with a total area of ​​more than 70,000 hectares signed by the farm. In 2021, the South African farm cooperated in COFCO provided more than 320,000 tons of food to the local market, stabilizing local food safety.

Guarantee the unblocked global food supply chain

△ COFCO is the first international freight company since the opening of the Chinese and Old Railway.

Facing the impact of the new crown pneumonia's epidemic situation on the world's grain circulation pattern, the global shipping channels are not smooth, and the shipping costs have risen, which has become a huge challenge facing the stable operation of the global food supply chain. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of foods to the ports of various countries, Chinese companies overcome the uncertainty brought by the epidemic, unblocking global shipping logistics, and ensuring the "transportation" of food. Chinese enterprises have exerted the advantages of the entire industry chain. Grain channels have promoted and maintained the stability of the world's food trade.

COFCO Group focuses on the construction of soybeans, corn, wheat, sugar, cotton and other agricultural products, and continuously increases the construction of logistics facilities and warehousing facilities such as ports, docks, etc., and has established a stable cooperative relationship with major exporting countries suppliers worldwide, setting up across spans across spans The grain corridor of the east and west hemispheres effectively opens the global food supply chain. Its shipping department relying on its own international logistics network and the advantages of large -scale modern fleets to timely track the global shipping market in a timely manner. Calculation and comparison, come up with targeted measures, and adhere to the 7 × 24 -hour working system, which effectively guarantees grain circulation.

Relying on global strategic layout and operational network, soybeans, corn, wheat in North America, soybeans, sugar in South America, Black Sea and Central Asian corn, wheat, sunflower oil, Australian, European and American dairy products and other agricultural and grain food resources. The high -efficiency multinational logistics supply chain is continuously transported to the dining tables around the world, which strongly supports the global market supply.

Tang Lixia, deputy dean of the International Development of China Agricultural University and Vice President of the Global School of Agricultural, said that no matter which country in, grain safety is the basic guarantee of the people's livelihood project. Over the years, China has always firmly maintained and practiced true multilateralism. Grain safety. International cooperation on grain security provides a solid foundation for global international exchanges and builds a friendship bridge. Whether it is the challenge to respond to the international complex situation, or to promote the global economic recovery and revitalization of the post -epidemic era, it has played an extremely important role.
