The continuation of the drought has led to rising market expectations for reduced production of these economic crops.
Corn prices rose rapidly. By April, prices hit a record high since 2008.
The prices of raw materials used as feed have increased. Can pork, chicken, duck, and eggs still increase in price?
Ordinary corn is different from the fresh and tender corn that You Yu wants to satisfy his appetite.
In people's daily lives, it can not only be used as edible grain, as feed for livestock, but also can be used to produce a variety of products from corn kernels.
For example: corn starch, glucose, corn soaking liquid, powder slurry, etc., even broken corn stalks and cobs can be used to cultivate edible fungi.
Together with rice and wheat, corn provides at least 30% of food calories to more than 4.5 billion people in 94 developing countries each year.
Among them, for the 900 million poor consumers around the world, corn is the first choice of staple food for three meals a day.
Demand for corn as livestock feed has grown significantly over the past decade, and insufficient production and rising prices in global corn supplies have had serious consequences for developing countries.
Corn prices continue to soar, along with prices for other commodities, especially wheat.
It’s not just corn. The prices of other agricultural and sideline products are rising, and pressure is beginning to appear.
The atmosphere of speculation about domestic agricultural products is on the rise, and expressions such as "you play with beans", "you are ruthless with garlic", "your army with ginger", "onion shock wave", and "sugar emperor" have become popular.
Ordinary people have a feeling: Everything related to food and drink this year will not be cheap!
In response to this phenomenon, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Grain Administration and other relevant departments have launched the 2010 temporary reserve corn bidding transaction since April 13.
In April, the late-ripening Qingjiang mossong has been sold out, which is the time of year when vegetables, melons and fruits are in decline.
Compared with the temperature in previous years, not only has it not rained since the beginning of spring this year, but the temperature has never been higher. Now I have to wear a thick coat in the morning and evening.
Eighty Princess and Pea Farm-operated stores are here again, with no green leafy vegetables, only free-range chickens and free-range eggs for sale.
It’s not that the direct-sale center has never thought about sprouting chicory, but unfortunately, the catering channel is too focused on it.
In the short two months since Bud Bulb Chicory has been on the market, not only have no customers returned their orders, but all customers want to place more orders but there is no extra stock!
"Boss, a hotel on an island in Haishi wants to add 10,000 kilograms of chicory next month, and the price is as high as 150 yuan per kilogram." Jiang Wenmei is now numb to the scene of customers chasing orders every day.
You Yu was not moved by the high price at all: "Two hundred and fifty-one kilograms are not available! In addition to the fruits and vegetables exported to Sakura Country, the prices set domestically should be whatever it is. I would rather pay back slower, at least give it to me. The sales period has been extended to ten months!”
"Yes, I have already replied to them like this. Hey, there is a shortage of food right now! Especially in our southwest region, there are now many more stalls selling bean sprouts in the vegetable market!"
"Just get through this month and you'll be fine."
When it comes to the lack of vegetables, You Yu did not forget to remind You Dayou: "The weather is still so cold, it is estimated that this year's asparagus will not be available on the market until after May! Inform the growers in Diaoyazi Village to continue to provide Turkish melons. Vine keeps you warm.”
"Okay, boss!"
The professional vegetable farmers in the production center are much more sensitive to the weather than Youyu.
In April, do you still have to wear a cotton-padded jacket in the morning and evening? It's not normal. Everyone is talking about this abnormal weather.
In the spring when drought continued in the southwest, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake occurred at about 07:49 on April 14, 2010 in Yushu, Qinghai, more than 800 kilometers away from Jiang County.
It has only been two years since the Wenchuan earthquake, and only two months since the Haiti earthquake! Another earthquake!
According to subsequent investigation statistics, the earthquake caused at least 2,220 deaths and 70 missing people.
Just like the last Wenchuan earthquake, people across the country quickly extended a helping hand to the disaster area.
The Sichuan Pea Group donated 20 million to Yushu City in a low-key manner, and the group's employees raised funds and donated 5 million.
You Yu thinks he is very low-key, but netizens don’t think so!
Big bosses who have donated hundreds of millions don’t have more than one palm, and those who have donated more than 20 million don’t have more than one person’s fingers and toes.
With the support of many Fortune 500 companies and various charitable organizations, this agricultural company has entered the attention of enthusiastic netizens.
Someone specifically brought it up. At the beginning of this year, the "Asia's Largest Strawberry Garden in the Sky" was featured on the "Getting Rich" column group. The Pea Group was even pulled out for a heated discussion on Sina.com.
Netizen 1: [I have a story. I bought Beibei pumpkins from the Princess and the Pea Tmall flagship store for two years. They are so delicious. Although the price is a bit expensive, seeing their post-disaster donation this time, I feel like I also contributed to this. 】
Netizen 2: [People from Sichuan Province are proud to tell you that Wandou Group donated more during the Wenchuan earthquake two years ago than this time! Not only the post-disaster donations, but also the canteens of the entire city's public nursing homes were contracted by her family. A year ago, she also spent 100 million to establish a municipal-level charity scholarship! Her boss is a moral model in our Sichuan province and a donation geek! 】
Netizen 1: [Disrespectful, disrespectful! I decided to buy another hundred pounds of baby pumpkins this year to support the donation maniac! I have been reluctant to open the official website membership card, so I will open one now! 】
Netizen 2: [I thought it was an unknown small company. I wouldn’t know it if I didn’t search it. But I was shocked when I searched it! My mother watched me drooling while watching the video. She came over with a shovel and watched The Book of Getting Rich with me twice. The largest strawberry farm in the sky in Asia was really shocking! I just want to ask my friends who have tried this black pearl strawberry, how does it taste? The boss himself is also very inspiring and touching! Compared with her, I would be ashamed of a seven-foot tall man like me.]
Netizen 2’s words were liked by tens of thousands of people in an instant, and there were so many people who were equally ashamed.
Maybe this topic is too popular, but someone actually replied to netizen 2: [I have tried black pearls, and the appearance, aroma and taste are as good as any variety at home and abroad! Except for being a little expensive, it’s perfect! 】
Netizen 3: [I am definitely not the only one who secretly regrets that I was not reincarnated in the village where the Pea Group is located. Otherwise, how could my family be left out of the donation-crazed boss’s policy of common prosperity? 】
Good guy! Netizen 3’s comment received five times more likes than netizen 2’s.
Netizen 4: [Hahaha, the marketing manager of her family is so comical. When he mentioned that they exported strawberries to Sakura Country for 200 yuan per strawberry, he got very excited! Doesn't it feel good to kill a big dog owner? 】
The cool click resonated with everyone, and they worked together to put the emoticon of the marketing director of Pea Group on the hot search.
