Food safety issues urgently require large-scale operation of agriculture Land transfer welcomes the golden decade

In recent years, food safety problems have emerged in an endless stream and have become increasingly severe in the motherland's north and south rivers: poisoned milk, poisonous ham, and poisonous capsules... sounded the alarm for food safety. The use of various harmful drugs and toxic additives in the cultivation of food sources is also attracting more and more attention.

As the saying goes: People use food as their god. This profoundly shows the importance of food for human survival and development. Food safety concerns everyone's health and life. Whether food safety can be guaranteed, people can eat healthily, eat safe, and it is "great things" for the people. How can we go from the top of the food to cure the problem and provide food for the people?

The analysis of the causes of food safety problems from the perspective of the agricultural business model is based on the fact that the “response to the word” and the lack of supervision are the root causes of the continuous pollution of food sources. How to find the solution to the disease through symptomatic treatment We tried to analyze the reasons in depth from the agricultural business model.

The fundamentals are as follows:

Decentralized management leads to high regulatory costs. It is not uncommon for many companies to push their ultimate responsibility to farmers in the presence of food safety issues. The excuse for finding excuse responsibilities for these bad companies is inseparable from the current situation of China's agricultural production.

Although China has entered the second half of the middle period of industrialization, the realization of agricultural modernization requires a long process. Most of the agricultural production based on the household contract responsibility system for joint production in China is small in scale, the main business is dispersed, and the promotion of agricultural scale production and mechanization is limited.

The disconnection of production and processing of agricultural products is not conducive to full supervision. The degree of agricultural industrialization in our country is relatively low. The majority of rural areas produce raw food products, which tends to lead to long-term supervision and coordination conflicts in the food safety supervision process.

At present, although some regions have implemented a "company + farmer" model, food manufacturing companies and farmers have formed a certain cooperative relationship, but the contractual relationship between enterprises and farmers is still loose, and enterprises and farmers are not completely uncomfortable. The dependency of tooth decay has made it difficult for companies to extend their quality standards into agricultural production. The quality inspection department is responsible for supervising and punishing the food safety issues in the processing of enterprises, but it does not have the power to supervise the production links of the farmers. This can easily lead to mutual refusal of food safety issues. The agricultural sector is not in place for food safety supervision of scattered farmers, so it is impossible to achieve full supervision of food from the field to the table.

We should also see the pressure of farmers on the disadvantaged position in the market. The purchasers of agricultural products keep depressing prices, and in order to safeguard their own interests, farmers meet the needs of the “market” and try to reduce costs and increase output. For example, pigs fed with Clenbuterol can be sold at a good price in the market, so farmers are using it. Most farmers are not ignorant about the dangers of drug abuse and additives, but are blindly driven by market demand.

Therefore, on the other hand, if our country’s agricultural operators have a certain market position, that is, they have sufficient bargaining power, then they can comply with the law to produce safety products, so they can make up for it by raising prices, thus avoiding the current situation. The phenomenon of adverse selection.

Promoting the scale of agricultural operations, ensuring food safety, and advancing China's agricultural modernization process are inevitable choices to ensure food safety.

First of all, to realize the enterpriseization of agricultural production and operation, the object of food safety supervision is directed at each enterprise. The company checks the food products and strictly regulates the production process, which plays a direct screening function. Third, the intensive and large-scale production of agricultural production is conducive to the use of advanced science and technology and mechanization, and reduces the food pollution caused by the abuse of pesticides, fertilizers, and feed additives from the source.

Furthermore, intensive management can increase the efficiency of agricultural production and reduce costs, and reduce the occurrence of agricultural producers' violation of food safety regulations due to profit pressure. The standardization of agricultural products provides a prerequisite for agricultural products to enter the modern logistics, trade, and sales markets, and the quality of standardized agricultural products also has corresponding guarantees. Although it is more difficult to establish standards for the quality and safety of agricultural products than for industrial products, this is an effective way to link up with international standards and ensure food safety.

The status quo of the scale of agricultural operation and the constraints of the land system to solve the realization of the agricultural intensive operation is undoubtedly the right to transfer all types of land contractual management rights to the concentration of land management rights to large farms or agricultural enterprises. This has led to a rapid development of farmer professional cooperative organizations. As of now, the number of farmers' professional cooperatives that have been legally registered in the country has reached 600,000, and there are actually more than 46 million farmer households that have joined the cooperative, accounting for about 18.6% of the total number of farmer households. The farmer professional cooperative organization has become an important force in promoting the industrialization of agriculture and the development of modern agriculture.

However, due to the imperfect rural land transfer mechanism, the large-scale operation of agriculture is constrained: Under the current institutional arrangements, the flow of land ownership is only the state's expropriation, and the flow of land use rights can only adopt two policy methods: Farmers' subcontracts and collective adjustments flow. Due to the unpaid use of rural land and basically unpaid subcontracting and the lack of stable expectations, subcontracting between farmers is very limited, and the adjustment of collective organizations also lacks an effective mechanism and it is difficult to obtain farmers' approval. The lack of circulation mechanism for rural land use rights directly affects the efficiency of resource allocation and hinders the development of large-scale agricultural operations.

Comrade Hu Jintao emphasized in the report of the 18th National Congress that the report emphasizes persisting in and improving the basic rural management system, safeguarding farmers’ right to land contractual management, use of homestead land, and distribution of collective income, strengthening the collective economic strength, and developing various forms of scale operations. To build a new type of agricultural management system that combines intensive, professional, organizational, and socialization. This shows the government's determination to scale up agriculture. Moreover, this year, the country is about to complete the rural land rights determination, through the registration and certification of rural collective land rights, to affirm farmers’ land rights in accordance with the law, and to strengthen the awareness of farmers, especially the land as a whole, to help effectively solve collective land rights in rural areas. It is a dispute that effectively safeguards the rights and interests of farmers in the process of urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural modernization. This will provide a favourable policy environment and conditions for the transfer of land.

The trend of agricultural scale management Land transfer has ushered in the demand for ensuring food safety for the Golden Decade, and the trend of large-scale agricultural operations has become a golden decade for agricultural development and a golden decade for land circulation. Various constraints will be broken one by one. An e-commerce platform for communicating land information is one of them.

At present, in most places, there is no intermediary service organization that sets up a bridge between the supply and demand players. The information is not working. It often appears that the transferor cannot find a suitable transferee, while the person who needs the land cannot find the contractor's transfer. The land cannot be transferred. Relying on local circulation centers, there are too many manpower, equipment and geographical limitations. Especially in the future, when the general trend of land scale management requires the circulation of land information across the country, it is necessary to rely on e-commerce platforms to gather information on land circulation in order to communicate the needs of transferors and transferees.

The land resource network (tdzyw.com) has built a land circulation platform with brand-new layouts, powerful functions, and user-friendly experiences, so that land information can be gathered on the website. People who need land can visit the land like Taobao to save the land. A lot of land acquisition costs. The transferor can easily publish the information for the site and find suitable transferees.

The demand for food safety and policy guidelines guide the trend of agricultural operations. It will promote the large-scale circulation of land and the golden decade of land transfer. Whoever can grasp the first-hand information will seize the initiative and create wealth. . The full land transfer in turn can greatly promote the scale of agricultural operations, and thus improve food safety and quality. Let the public eat healthy and safe food.
