3, FAO (UNFAO) release informed that, from 55 to grow food commodity prices, food prices, a global benchmark index (FPI) reaching new heights. February global FPI increased 2.2% qoq, reaching 236 points, which is the index rose 8 months straight, "set a record for 3 consecutive months, has already exceeded the 2008 food crisis, the highest price level." And time, food prices in coming months is likely to continue to rise.
"Food is the foundation of our economy, the state high grain producing provinces to give financial subsidies to encourage the enthusiasm of grain in these provinces," Yesterday, the National People's Congress of Guangzhou Jiang Feng Industrial Co., Ltd., Tim Tam Kui said, "to avoid grain producing provinces instead of high taxes and tertiary industry development, rural land occupation. "
Global food prices hit a record high again
FAO Bulletin issued March 3, said composition of from 55 to grow food commodity prices, the global benchmark in food price index (Food Price Index) reaching new heights. UNFAO reported that in February the global benchmark price index of food rose by 2.2% to 236 points, which is the index increased by 8 months straight, and the time the next few months is likely to continue rising food prices.
December 2010, the index reached 214.7 points, more than in June 2008 before the financial crisis hit the world's highest point. As of the end of February 2011, international prices have been 3 consecutive months, a record high.
FAO informed that the global dairy and grain prices increase the most.
Furthermore, the organization predicted that years from 2010-2050, the world's total population will increase to 90 billion global food production will have to increase on the existing basis to meet the needs of 70%.
Global food prices jumped the next few months or
FAO also warned in his briefing, the North Africa and the Middle East crisis has led to the current international oil prices rose sharply; and then as Canada, Australia, Russia, China and other major producing food crops grow in harsh climate, especially drought orders people worry about, so that the international financial market speculation in commodity prices exacerbated the situation, all of these factors are likely to continue to promote the global food price index in the coming months in a further rise.
Tan Kui Tim also believes that domestic grain prices in the short term upward pressure, "If you do not import food, in the current drought, under the influence will certainly affect the domestic food production," Tan Kui Tim said, "with individuals because of rising food prices will stay as the number of surplus inventory, but also increased the upward pressure on food prices. "
However, he believes that China has to worry about food prices, "there may be upward pressure on short-term," said Tim Tam huge, "as long as the release of a number of countries will be able to immediately increase the market supply of grain to stabilize domestic grain prices."
It is understood that the global food crisis in 2007-2008, he did not spread to China's grain market, on the contrary, because of the surge in global food prices remained stable while, in order to stabilize the global food crisis has made great contributions.
Proposal to increase grain yield and income subsidies
Food prices continued to rise in the international context of the National People's Congress from Guangdong for food issues put forward their own views. "Three rural issues has two deep-seated contradictions," National People's Congress of Guangzhou Jiang Feng Industrial Co., Ltd., Tim Tam Kui said, "people will be less, increasing output without increasing."
"Grain producing provinces are generally poorer, some places just want to improve secondary and tertiary industries by engaging in tax revenue," said Tim Tam huge, "the development of tertiary industry will certainly not food species, resulting in reduced food production."
Tim Tam huge that some provinces fertile land suitable for growing grain, they should encourage those provinces in a variety of food, by the state the way through the financial transfer payment subsidies to local revenue deficiencies. "Others, such as teacher salaries, cost of urban construction, etc., in accordance with the standards of developed cities direct supply by the State Local Government."
"The price is mainly based on agricultural products represented," Tim Tam Kui also believe that out of agricultural production without further processing, value-added is difficult to improve, "To the deep processing of agricultural products, a very large initial investment, we should include support to the Government policies. by encouraging the way of deep processing of agricultural products, to improve the income level of grain producing provinces. "
Expand the "agriculture super-docking" to raise farm income
Whether the purchase price by way of increasing food grain producing provinces to increase enthusiasm for growing grain? Tim Tam huge contrast negative attitude. "Some people say the CPI increase food prices keep up the same, or even higher than the CPI's rise, I do not agree," said Tim Tam Kui, "to increase food prices will affect people's food problem, especially in the city's poor. And will increase in the cost of food processing enterprises, increase inflationary pressures. "
To address the high cost of agricultural products circulation and increasing output without increasing the problems of farmers, 11 December 2008, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture jointly issued the "super-butt on the agricultural experimental work carried out notice."
Tim Tam Kui think we should increase the "agriculture super-docking" efforts. "'Agricultural super-butt' so that farmers can increase production without increasing the problem solved," Tim Tam Kui said, "Now we cooperate with the supermarket, what you need ahead of time to me, I'll give you the production of this product. Farmers and consumers will be able to have have to benefit. "(Xiao-cui)
