According to the data of National Bureau of Statistics, the grain output of China in 20 18 was 658 million tons. In the same period, China imported about1.1.50 million tons of grain, including 88.04 million tons of soybeans, 3 1 10,000 tons of wheat, 3.08 million tons of rice and 20.47 million tons of grains and flour. Among the imported grains, soybeans rank first, and cereals and imported cereals powder rank second, including corn, sorghum, barley and other coarse grains.
It is worth noting that soybeans and corn account for most of China's imported grain. Soybean and corn are mainly used as feed for animals such as pigs, poultry and aquatic products, and are not for human consumption. According to the above data of National Bureau of Statistics 20 18, soybean imports alone account for nearly 80% of the total imports.
Extended data
China rice will be exported net for two consecutive years.
China people now consume rice and wheat, among which rice has appeared more and more on the dining table of China people in recent years. Now, not only southerners love rice, but also northern Renye Fang loves rice more and more. There are more people who love rice, and consumers want to eat rice with unique flavor, which promotes the import of rice.
China is the largest rice producer and the largest rice importer in the world, and this phenomenon has been going on for many years. Take the market year of 20 15/20 16 as an example. According to the data of USDA, China imported 4.6 million tons of rice and exported about 370,000 tons. By the market year of 20 18/20 19, the situation of rice import in China has changed. In that year, China's import volume dropped to 2.6 million tons, and China exported 2.72 million tons of rice, 6.5438+0.2 million tons more than imported rice, which was the first time that it became a net rice exporter in five years.
USDA predicts that in the 20 19/20 market year, China's rice exports will further increase to 3.4 million tons, while rice imports will continue to decrease to 2.3 million tons, and China will become a net rice exporter for the second consecutive year.
China can become a net exporter of rice, because China has a large rice stock. In the market year of 20 19/2020, the ending stock of rice in China is about1.1800 million tons, accounting for about half of the world stock. Rice can't be stored for a long time, otherwise it will go bad. From the point of view of accelerating the flow, it will be useful in the international market.
China will continue to import high-quality and low-priced rice from Thailand and Viet Nam to give consumers more choices. At the same time, rice with comparative advantages will be exported to foreign markets to realize the two-way flow of resources.
The gap of CBN-65438+300 million tons has aroused concern: Is there enough food in China?
