The minimum purchase price of rice will be raised in 2022, with the purchase price of the most expensive japonica rice being 131 yuan per kilogram. This is good news for farmers, allowing them to earn more. In today's market environment, the news that the minimum purchase price of rice has increased has stimulated the rice market and increased farmers' enthusiasm for planting rice. However, some farmers believe that the increase in rice purchase price is not very high. They can only earn an extra 10 yuan per mu of land, and the price of chemical fertilizers has also increased.
How big is the impact on farmers?
The increase in the minimum purchase price of rice is indeed very good news for farmers, but the price of chemical fertilizers has also increased, so farmers still cannot make much money. The increase is not particularly large. According to calculations, one acre of land can only earn 10 yuan at most. If you have expanded your rice cultivation area before, you can make a lot of money now. However, due to the extremely low purchase price of rice in the past, ordinary farmers have switched to other food crops, such as corn or wheat rice, and the planting area of ????rice has been greatly reduced. Now it is too late for farmers to grow rice. They can only buy relatively expensive chemical fertilizers to grow rice.
Farmers’ confidence in growing rice has increased.
Farmers' income from planting mainly comes from the sale of large quantities of grain. If the purchase price of rice is particularly low, farmers will be unable to make ends meet and have no money to buy fresh grain seeds and fertilizers. Now that prices have increased, farmers have more confidence to grow rice. Even if you want to grow other food crops, the yield may not be very high due to regional restrictions. You still have experience in growing rice, and you can still make a lot more money than growing other food crops.
Summary
Some farmers also hope that the state can control the price of chemical fertilizers and not let them rise so much. Only in this way can the rice grains continue to rise and farmers can make some money. Save this money so that you won’t have to buy fertilizer at high prices again.
