Chapter 238 Want to Fight a Food War
"Eisenhower's approach may not be easy for you to understand, let me give you an example.
In 1931, when the world economy was depressed, Chile’s copper mine exports were greatly reduced, the economy collapsed, and people’s lives fell into turmoil. In such a turbulent society, a large number of students went on strike to resist the dictatorship of Carlos. Among them was the future President of Chile, A. Linde.
Allende was successfully elected as the president of Chile in 1970. After taking office, Allende carried out large-scale reforms in Chile, but the reforms met with fierce resistance from the big estate owners.
One year after taking office, Allende began to expropriate land on a large scale. In a short period of time, the ownership of a large amount of land changed.
The transformation of production relations did not promote the change of productivity, nor did the utilization rate of land increase. On the contrary, the output of grain continued to decline.
In 1971, Chile's grain output was 1.36 million tons, but by 1972 there were only 700,000 tons left.
Helpless, Allende had no choice but to buy food from the international community. At first, he was able to buy food from Su Xiu, but later, Su Xiu could not take care of himself.
In 1972, two consecutive years of abnormal weather caused severe crop failure in Suxiu.
However, while the Soviet revisionist publicized the bumper grain harvest, they secretly purchased 30% of the wheat from the country. Although this wave of food robberies made the Soviet revisionists seem to have taken advantage, it also intensified their dependence on the country for food.
Before Allende came to power, Chile was already facing a food crisis, and Chile was an important source of food imports.
In accordance with "Public Law No. 480", China provided assistance to Chile.
Aid is mainly divided into three aspects: loans, donations, and barter transactions, that is, barter.
As a result of the aid, Chile was highly dependent on other countries for food. In 1973, Chile spent 37% of its foreign exchange reserves just for food purchases.
Under China's aid plan, Chilean people purchased grain from China and used the Chilean market to complete the sales of grain. However, this kind of low-priced grain squeezed the local grain manufacturers in Chile, and eventually led to the complete control of Chilean grain by the country.
Let me explain to you how China provides aid. For example, in 1972, Chile had a food shortage of 2 million tons. China provided food aid to Chile. The food was not directly free, but China brought its own food to Chile. Sold on the market at normal prices in Chile.
After the sale, 25% of the income will be used to pay for the transportation and marketing of the grain, and the other 75% will be handed over to the Chilean government. Does it sound okay? "Nanyi looked at Liuzhi and Grasshopper and asked.
Both nodded.
"If you think there is no problem, then you are wrong. During the implementation of this plan, Congress will engage in two tricks:
First, if Chile’s grain shortage is 2 million tons, China will not only send 2 million tons of grain to Chile, but will send 3 million tons, or even 4 million tons.
Second, the income from these food aid is subject to the supervision of the country. If Chile wants to use the money, it must get the consent of Lao Mei. There is no right to freedom in buying cigarettes.
It's similar to white slips, and you can't spend it when you see how much money is written on it.
This is equivalent to using the Chilean market to digest its own food, and then using the income from the food to hold Chile hostage.
Chile's local food producers quickly went bankrupt under the impact of the low price of grain in the country, further deepening Chile's dependence on the country's grain, and lingering until its own agriculture is fully controlled by the country, Chile will not realize this food aid plan , is sugar-coated shit.
This is someone else's business, and it doesn't have much to do with us. Let me talk about the things that are closely related to us.
In November 1974, the first World Food Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was held. At the conference, the "International Agreement on World Food Security" was passed. At the conference, a Western expert made a conclusion: our country cannot feed 1 billion people .
Since we have gaps, there are interests here, and the four major grain merchants in the world have set their sights on our country.
But now eight years have passed, and they haven't found the so-called opportunity. Do you know why they didn't find it?
It's simple..."
Nan Yi took out a food stamp from his pocket and shook it, "Just relying on this, there is a fixed amount of food for urban residents, old, middle-aged and young children, and they can't eat freely if they want to.
It was only during the most difficult period in the early 1960s that we imported a large amount of grain from abroad, and then we mainly exported it. In the past, it was the model of the production team. Except for private plots, everything on the land of the production team was stipulated by the above regulations.
This has both advantages and disadvantages, which is why there is the current distribution of land to households.
Now it is up to oneself to decide what to grow. Except for rice, wheat, and sweet potatoes, which are staple crops, every household grows other supplementary grains and cash crops, namely cotton and rapeseed.
Especially in the south, the planting time of these two crops can be staggered with that of double-cropping rice. Farmers especially like to plant them. Cotton can be exchanged for money, and rapeseed can be exchanged for oil.
A few years ago, when cooking in a farmer's house, he dipped a rag in the oil pot and then wiped it in the pot; look at it now, tsk tsk, he dares to use a spoon to put oil into the pot, a richer family Dare to eat fried things.
In general, rice, wheat, rapeseed, cotton, sweet potatoes, etc. are all grown by humans, and vegetables are also planted in vegetable gardens, except for soybeans, which farmers will not plant in the fields, but only on the ridges of the fields, and they will continue to grow Even if, I don’t know how to cook at all.
Why not cooking?
It's very simple, because it's not cost-effective, soybeans are worthless, so plant some on the ridges of the fields and save them for your own food, and you can count as much as you can get. If you have the strength, you should take more care of the paddy fields.
What can soybeans be used for?
Exchange tofu with the tofu seller, make tofu by yourself during the Chinese New Year, and make bean paste, bean drum and so on for the rest.
By the way, we can also make vegetarian meals.
There are very few people who cook and eat it directly. If you eat too much soybeans, you will fart, and it will not taste good without oil and water. It is okay to make a meal occasionally to change the taste.
It's not worth the money, and it doesn't taste good, so it's not taken seriously. Except for the Northeast, the soybean production in other places is not too high.
For the time being, the role of soybeans is very limited. It doesn't matter if the output is high or low. If you have tofu, you can eat it.
But in the long run, no.
As everyone's life is getting better and better, the intake of oil and water is getting higher and higher. Rapeseed oil and lard boiled by ourselves can't keep up with our consumption.
Moreover, the better the life, the more abundant the supply of non-staple food. The production process of many non-staple foods is inseparable from edible oil. What if rapeseed oil is not enough?
You can only choose one or a few kinds of crops that can extract oil and plant them on a large scale. The seeds are taller than it.
In terms of input-output ratio, using soybeans to extract oil is the most cost-effective.
In the near future, the demand for soybeans in our country will reach a very high amount. It should be said that not only us, most countries in the world will have a great demand for soybean oil.
Just because I foresee this, I want you to plant soybeans in Africa and plant soybeans in a large area.
Soybean planting in Africa is very dangerous. First, Africa is not peaceful, and wars have been going on for many years, and you are easy to be affected. Second, your soybean planting will infringe the interests of the four major grain merchants. Behind them are the countries of Yi and Fa.
According to the urine nature of the capital of these two countries, it is normal to send someone to kill you.
Once they can't kill you in private, they will find a way to label you. In the not-too-distant future, the two of you will become terrorists, and I won't be surprised at all. "
"Boss, you said that it is dangerous to ask us to grow soybeans?" The grasshopper said disapprovingly, "I thought I was asked to fry..."
"Grasshopper, don't be careless." Six fingers interrupted what the grasshopper was about to say.
"Yes, it is to grow soybeans. Don't take it lightly. This soybean is not easy to grow. I will tell you why it is not easy to grow. You should prepare first, go home and see your family, and then you can find a way to accept it in Israel. training."
"yes."
"clear."
Regarding soybeans, Nanyi actually has a deeper plan, but it doesn't make much sense to tell Liuzhi and Grasshopper now, the two of them are just going to fight for the front, and he still wants to hand over the soybean matter to Zuo Can.
However, now that Zuo Can is a new father, let him enjoy the family relationship first.
