Chapter 346 The Price of Corn Has Increased

The price of corn has gone up!
Just after the autumn harvest, a shocking news spread throughout the village.

"His second aunt, have you heard? The price of corn has increased today!" Aunt Osmanthus said to Aunt Xiuqin.

"What? Has the price of corn increased? How much has it increased?" Aunt Xiuqin was shocked.

"It used to be one yuan and two catties, but now it has risen to one yuan and three!"

"One dollar and three?"

"Isn't the new food just coming out now? Why is the price going up?"

Other villagers were also shocked when they heard the news. You must know that the price of corn has been around one yuan per catty in recent years, and even in the main grain-producing areas, the price can be lowered by one or two cents.

But everyone did not expect that the price of corn has increased this year!
But after thinking about the situation this year, everyone understood that because of the epidemic, many areas in the south encountered continuous heavy rain during the autumn harvest, so the grain production was still somewhat affected.

With that in mind, corn prices are not so surprising.

"Oh! It's all caused by the damn epidemic and the weather!"

"Yes, because of the epidemic, many food import channels have been affected, and some countries are not allowed to export food!"

"I heard that the world's grain production has decreased this year, is it true?"

Then everyone remembered the news they saw on the Internet before,

According to experts' forecasts, the world's grain production will decrease this year, and there was still a lot of noise on the Internet at that time.

Affected by this news, there was a wave of panic buying in Qingshan at the beginning.

Fortunately, the higher authorities responded by not only increasing the distribution of grain reserves, but also strengthening the control of companies such as supermarket oil and oil, and resolutely cracking down on speculators and profiteers who disrupt the market. This has stabilized grain prices.

The turmoil of panic-buying food soon calmed down.

"How could the whole world reduce production? It's just that some places have been affected by the locust plague, and the impact is not as great as everyone imagined!"

"That is, in fact, the grain production in the United States is surplus every year. It is estimated that the news of the grain production reduction is a rumor spread by them. The purpose is to sell the grain at a high price!"

Everyone thought about it and thought it should be so.

Although the news of the price increase of corn caused quite a disturbance in the village, the villagers soon calmed down.

This is because the whole village has had a bumper harvest of grain this year. On average, each family harvested three to four thousand catties of corn, and some even reached five to sixty thousand catties.

For example, Daniel's family harvested more than 6 catties of corn this year.

Therefore, the increase in food prices not only has little impact on everyone, but even because of the increase in food prices, everyone can earn a few hundred dollars more!
…………

Just when the news of the price increase of corn was spreading in the village

Yang Jia hurried to Zhang Hai's office.

"Boss, the price of corn has really increased!"

"Really increased?" As early as three months ago, Zhang Hai ordered the company to reserve more feed.

Because according to the memory of the previous life, the price of cornmeal will rise rapidly in the second half of this year, from 1.1 to 1.2 per catty at the beginning.

Finally, at the end of the year, it even rose to 1.5 yuan per catty.

This is still the price of corn, and the processed corn flour is sold at 1.7 yuan per catty.

Although Zhang Hai couldn't remember the exact date of the price increase of corn, it didn't prevent him from letting the pig farm stockpile corn.

Today, the price of corn finally started to rise!

"It's really increased. Today the dealer has sent a notice saying that starting next week, the price of corn supplied to our pig farm will rise from 1.1 yuan to 1.2 yuan per catty!"

"How much corn does our company have in stock? Is it enough for half a year?"

According to Zhang Hai's plan, the company has to reserve feed for at least half a year, so as not to be affected by the soaring price of corn.

"The company has reserved more than 50 tons of corn, which must be enough for us for half a year!" Yang Jia nodded with a smile, happy that the company was able to reserve so much corn before the price of corn rose.

Although a catty of corn only increased by 50 cents, which doesn’t seem like much, but more than [-] tons of corn can save the company more than [-] million yuan.

More than one billion!It is estimated that 90.00% of the enterprises in the country have an annual profit of less than [-] million yuan!
"That's good, but the corn must be stored carefully, and it must not be spoiled!"

"Boss, don't worry, our storage technicians are all recruited from large state-owned enterprises. We don't like those with poor skills."

Zhang nodded reassuringly.

You must know that if the storage technology is not good, not only is it easy to cause mildew and spoilage, but it is also easy to cause insects and rats!

The loss caused by that is not small. According to public information, the annual loss rate of the grain stored in China's largest grain group is about [-]% every year.

This may not be very intuitive to say,
Take the Shanshen Pig Farm as an example. This year, the company has reserved about one billion grains.

Then one year later, about 1000% of these grains will be lost, worth as much as [-] million.

Although there is so much loss every year, Zhang Hai has also calculated that the company's reserves of these feeds are not a loss, and overall it is still a small profit.

And this is when the price of corn is only a dime
You must know that by the end of this year, the local corn in Guizhou Province has risen to 1.5 yuan per catty.

If calculated according to the price of 1.5 yuan per catty, the company will make a huge profit of [-] to [-] million yuan for the batch of grain stored.

Of course, the company does not rely on this to make money, it is just to control the cost of raising pigs.

Just when Yang Jia was admiring the boss's wise decision-making

Jiang Xingmin, general manager of Shanshen Group, and Miao Liwei, deputy general manager, were also very happy.

Because a few days ago, the company's No. 4 farm in Yuguan City also had a bumper harvest.

The average yield per mu of 20 mu of corn is as high as 3500 jin. This is the first year of land reclamation this year. After the land is rebuilt next year, the yield will be even higher.

The 20 mu of corn alone has created an output of 35 tons.

The total value reached more than 7 million.

This is still the current price. By the end of the year, the value of this batch of grain will reach more than 9 million.

Therefore, the company built a large warehouse on Farm No. 4 to store the corn and sell the corn after the corn price reached the ideal price.

……

price increase for corn
Ordinary people also complained.

Because once the price of feed goes up, it will be even more difficult for the price of pork to come down.

In a community in Qingshan County
At this time, the two old men were walking, and they also heard the news of the price increase of corn, so they couldn't help sighing:

"Oh! I'm sure I won't be able to eat cheap pork this year!"

"You still want to eat cheap pork? Thank God if the price of pork can stay at 24 or 25 a catty!"

The two shook their heads and fell silent for a while. We all know that the price of pork this year has no hope of falling. As long as the price does not increase during the Chinese New Year, everyone will be satisfied!
But what they don't know is that in the second half of this year, pork has risen again to 28 pounds.

Especially in the days of Chinese New Year, lean meat and pork belly sold for more than [-] per catty.
