Eco-environmental workers in Sihong County, Suqian, Jiangsu Province were attracted by a piece of green plants during their daily inspections. When they came closer, they found wild soybeans.
Wild soybeans are not too rare in rural areas, and many netizens living in rural areas have seen them. The problem is that in many cases, they are treated as ordinary weeds and directly removed by pesticides. In fact, they are second-class protected animals in China.
Some experts said that wild soybean is a very rare breeding resource. You know, Yuan Longping's great progress in hybrid rice started with a wild rice!
Indeed, we suffered a great loss on soybeans.
From the beginning of the last century to the present, the United States has been collecting soybean resources from all over the world, especially for our country with a history of more than 5,000 years of soybean cultivation. A large number of wild soybeans were sent to the United States through various channels. There are currently 20,000 soybean resources in the United States.
1998 Monsanto introduced a new generation of genetically modified soybeans, in which herbicide-resistant genes were embedded. The original soybeans came from China!
In 2000, Monsanto Company of the United States obtained a kind of wild soybean from China by giving it to each other. They successfully extracted a disease-resistant and high-yield gene from this soybean. After registering patents in more than 0/00 countries around the world, they charge royalties instead, including China!
The most unforgettable is the soybean dispute in 2003-2004. The United States Department of Agriculture, Wall Street financiers and the four major grain giants jointly operated soybean futures, which led to the bankruptcy of a large number of soybean crushing enterprises in China. The four major grain enterprises took the opportunity to buy at low prices and directly controlled 70% of the crushing enterprises in the country.
Since then, China has paid special attention to soybean resources and achieved initial results.
Of course, the seeds in the neck are not just soybeans.
Many seeds of some high-end fruits and vegetables come from abroad, such as tomatoes in sunny summer in Hazera, carrots in SVTM4224 in the United States are French Hongyu No.6, spinach is Japanese 029, and German 175.
These countries sell these seeds to China at extremely high prices for huge profits. For example, the tomato seeds in Summer Sunshine have reached 10 yuan/seed! What is this concept? 1000 tomato seeds are only 2-3 grams, and the price is comparable to gold!
Shouguang, the hometown of vegetables in China, will spend 70-654.38+0 billion yuan on tomato seeds alone! When it is expensive, the seed cost of an acre of land for growers exceeds 2000 yuan, which is almost the work of seed companies.
Fortunately, China has long recognized the importance of seeds, and raised the industries that are easy to get stuck in the neck, such as seeds and chips, to the height of national strategy. Although it has been a great success, there is still a long way to go!
