"Appropriate use of pesticides is beneficial and necessary for agricultural products." Zhang Xiangning, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Jiangsu Province Pesticide Research Institute, who has been engaged in pesticide research for more than 20 years, told reporters at the beginning that his views were revealed.
Zhang Xiangning said that at present, many agricultural products in the society attract green consumers under the banner of greenery and use pesticides as selling points. This is actually misleading the public opinion. The existence of pests and diseases during the growth of crops is an objective fact. Proper use of pesticides is beneficial to agricultural products and is also necessary. The area of ​​arable land in China is only 1.8 billion mu, and it is still decreasing, but it has to carry the demand for agricultural products of 1.3 billion people and still growing population. Today, with the continuous development of large-scale and industrialized agriculture, if agricultural chemicals alone are used to develop agriculture without using pesticides, not only the quality of many agricultural products will not be guaranteed, but the output will also be significantly reduced, and even lead to large areas. Pests and food shortages.
Zhang Xiangning pointed out that those so-called green agricultural products cannot be produced on a large scale and in batches. In the modern sense, agricultural production cannot be separated from pesticides. The annual output value of China's pesticide industry is currently around 30 billion yuan, and its price is much lower than that of imported goods. If the domestic production is replaced by imports, the annual cost of Chinese farmers spending on pesticides is estimated to be 100 billion to 200 billion yuan. . Obviously, if China does not have its own pesticide industry, it will increase the burden on farmers. It can be said that it is precisely with China's own pesticide industry that it has played a very good role in protecting farmers' income. The central government attaches great importance to the "three rural" work. This year it is also proposed to build a new socialist countryside and industry to support agriculture. The pesticide industry is particularly responsible for this and needs to redouble its efforts.
Pesticides are indispensable, but they should be strictly regulated during production and use. This is another point that Zhang Xiangning emphasized. At present, there are about 2,000 to 3,000 pesticide production companies in China, with many factories, small and scattered, and poor economic strength. Due to the low level of redundant construction, the production capacity of low-end products and excess output have brought about disorderly competition in the market, directly affecting the economic efficiency of enterprises, and the efficient products required by the market have been unable to develop. In view of this situation, it is necessary to encourage the merger and reorganization between enterprises according to the needs of the market economy, increase the degree of industrial concentration, and establish a number of large-scale enterprise groups to make the company bigger and stronger. In addition, the use of pesticides should also be strictly regulated. For example, vegetables have a short growing period and a relatively long growing period of rice. When pests and diseases are controlled, pesticides with different characteristics are required to minimize the residual effects of pesticides.
To develop the pesticide industry, scientific research must be conducted first. As the earliest institute for the establishment of pesticides in China, the Institute of Pesticides of Jiangsu Province has continuously increased its efforts in reform and innovation in recent years. Through the innovation of the property rights system, they changed the state-owned assets into a diversified asset structure of the current joint-stock system. The controlling stakes were in the hands of the market competition players, and they operated closer to the market, which was more in line with the requirements of the company's operations. The institute has completed more than 100 scientific research achievements, including some national pesticide research and development projects. The furannidifen hydrazide, a new type of highly effective and low-toxic insecticide that they have developed and has independent intellectual property rights, has completed industrial development and entered the market. After introducing the above situation, Zhang Xiangning deeply understood that the transformation of pesticide scientific and technological achievements depends on institutional innovation, and the development of the pesticide industry must also take the path of innovation.
