CCTV News:Soybean is the main source of edible vegetable oil and protein feed, and it is also an agricultural product with high dependence on foreign countries in China. This year, the state has taken various measures to expand the soybean planting area nationwide to more than 140 million mu.
This year, the northeast of China has guided farmers to grow more soybeans by carrying out grain-soybean rotation. This year, Heilongjiang Province will co-ordinate 1 billion yuan of agriculture-related funds to support the expansion of more than 10 million mu of soybeans, with the largest area. Jilin Province mobilized farmers’ enthusiasm by means of preferential policies and increasing investment in science and technology. This year, the area of soybean planting was 854,000 mu, up 22% year-on-year.
In addition, this year, the country promoted soybean and corn strip compound planting in suitable areas such as northwest, Huang-Huai-Hai, southwest and Yangtze River basin. In order to arouse farmers’ enthusiasm, on the basis of the central government subsidizing 150 yuan per mu, the provincial finance will subsidize 170 yuan per mu to make up for the increased costs of sowing, fertilizing, spraying and harvesting. Shaanxi province has sown 1.877 million mu of soybeans and interplanted 680,000 mu of soybeans and corn. Yan ‘an and Yulin have integrated improved varieties, agricultural machinery and processing to increase production, and created 40 soybean-corn strip compound planting demonstration zones.
