At the same time, what does this mean for our food security and for the future of agriculture? Well, that's an interesting topic, so let's just start today. The first thing we have to say is, what is the current state of china's bean industry, and what is china's potato production globally? China's potato production has always been the highest in the world. Annual production accounts for almost a quarter of global production. Yeah, well, more than 10 million tons in the united states and over 7 million tons in russia. It is much higher, and then the national seeding area is around 70 million acres, with a total annual production of nearly 90 million tons, all of which are stable at the highest level in the world. The little potatoes really fueled the table for 1. 4 billion people. And then we're talking about the american potato industry model and some of his risks. What are the unique practices of the united states in the cultivation and processing of potatoes? The approach of the united states is different from that of us, and he is going through a few but fine models. Then sell the product at a high price, he'll take different regions. They are divided into those specializing in the production of processed potatoes or in the cultivation of potatoes and fresh potatoes. Idaho, for example, is the main producer of processed potatoes. In colorado, it is mainly responsible for the cultivation of potatoes and fresh food. It seems that the industrial chain division in the united states is very fine. Yeah, and america his real profit. It's deep processing this piece of potatoes, like frozen fries. Potato chips or mashed potatoes make his value double. He can do this even if he encounters fluctuations in production. The added value of processing is to mitigate risks, yes, but it also allows this industrial chain in the united states. Very dependent on steady supply of raw materials. As soon as the domestic raw materials were insufficient, he had to import starch to sustain production, so he was facing it. When energy and transport costs rise, they become more vulnerable, and, yes, this is actually one of his larger hazards, but it is often overlooked. So this potato trap in russia and its import dependence. What is the reason why this traditional agricultural power has suddenly caused potato loss? Potatoes are very important in russian diets. They have the title of second bread. Almost every meal is scarce, but there have been frequent shortages in recent years, with production last year reaching only 7. 37 million tons. This represents a decrease of 1. 25 million tons over the previous year. Then another 7 million tons may have to fall this year, so it can only fill that gap with imports. Production has fallen so much that the problems behind it should sound complicated. The most direct reason must have been the war. Many young people who were supposed to work in the fields were recruited. This has led to massive land loss, followed by western sanctions. He was unable to import seeds, fertilizers and farm machinery accessories. So even though russia has so much fertile black land, he can't raise production, and, um, leads to prices on the market. All the way up to the supermarket in moscow. The price of potato eggs, onions and cabbage had increased several times, so the government had to make it urgent. Open imports to ease the crisis. And what policy does russia have in place to cope with this potato shortage? Russia imported 150,000 tons of potatoes before july 31st. The introduction of duty-free quotas, well, is essentially about peace. Domestic prices, and chinese potatoes in this wave of imports, are a major force. It seems that chinese beans are popular on the russian market. That's right, but after 2026. Russian imports of local beans. The whole thing came back, only in may there was a one-month rebound, and by the end of may, russia was the second largest global buyer of beans in china. Well, the main reason for this fall is actually because. With the expiration of the tax exemption policy, and their previous stock replenishment being too strong, demand has now begun to stabilize, but so. The fundamental problems of russian agriculture, such as lack of labour, lack of financial resources and lack of seeds, had not been solved. Their dependence on imports is therefore strong. Indeed, is this agricultural complementarity between china and russia any recent developments? In fact, in january-april 2006, china imported oil from russia. By the same token, 78 per cent has increased and has become the largest buyer of russian oil oil. Chinese fresh potato vegetables then enter the russian market on a continuous basis, while russian oil, grease and aquaculture also enter china in large quantities. Yes, the scale of agricultural trade between the two sides is growing, which is a comparison. A more noteworthy trend is the mere import and export of potatoes. All right, let's focus on china's potato industry. What are our brightest performances in terms of single-manufacturing increases, regional layout adjustments and exports? China's potato industry is most prominent in emerging from a new path of boosting production by single production. Yeah, look, we've been going from five years to twenty-four years. The area under cultivation has actually been reduced by almost 4. 9 million acres. But because of the rise in single production, our total production has increased by more than 2 million tons. It was entirely thanks to technological progress. That is to say, it's amazing that there is less land to grow but that there is more to output. And our production areas are constantly shifting to the west, like sichuan, gansu, guizhou, yunnan, which each produced more than 2 million tons of potatoes in 2002. Then sichuan went up to 2,916,000 tons. Because the climate and land resources are particularly suitable for potato growth, the potatoes have also become a source of local wealth. And our exports were reversed. Our net exports in 2002 and 2015. Up to 1. 363 million tons of potatoes are now steadily exported to these markets in south-east asia, russia and the middle east. What are the short boards of china's potato industry now? Although china's potato production is the highest in the world, much of it is consumed as fresh food. The percentage of processing is only 8. 18 per cent, which is much lower than in europe and the united states, where it ranges from 30 to 50 per cent. Yes, so most of the chinese beans are sold at lower prices. It seems that low conversion rates are a big constraint. Yes, and more importantly, on the one hand, we now have only two hundred seventy-seven four kilos per acre. It's about 4,000 kg in the netherlands and 3,500 kg in the united states. The gap is still very large, well, if we can reach the eu average. So our total yield can be increased by eight percent without increasing the cropland. If we can reach the dutch level, our output can even increase by more than 40 per cent, so this monolithic rise is very tempting. Since there is so much room for single-manufacturing growth, what concrete initiatives are there in china to promote single-manufacturing potatoes? Many enterprises and scientific institutions are now in the country. Focused detoxification of potatoes, the integration of water fertilizers, and plant protection drones are new technologies that can boost monolithic production. The state is also increasing its support for farming and agro-technology extension and is leading the whole industry to expand from the past. Turning into the current upgrading of quality and monolithics, so who can make a breakthrough in monolithic upgrading can take the lead in the market. Understand the strategic value of the potato in the global food security landscape, especially in the context of the ongoing geo-conflict and then volatile food prices. Indeed, in july 2006, the situation in the middle east was tense and global food prices then fluctuated sharply. And that's when the advantage of the potatoes is demonstrated. It is a very water-saving and fertile crop. So the more strategic it becomes. So potatoes are really low-key. Yes, and china has always stressed it. It is my primary responsibility to build on the country by promoting quality agricultural development. To deal with external uncertainties, the potato may be a culinary dish. But it is definitely a stable ballast in the matter of ensuring national food security. I see, that's a comparison of the potato industry patterns in china, the united states and russia. We can see where the potato industry in china will go in the future. In the united states, he turned potatoes into high-value-added commodities by virtue of his strong processing capacity. And then he was because of russia. The lack of input and the short board of seeds had led to the collapse of his industry. China, though, now has the highest volume and production in the world. But our next focus must be on innovation in the farming industry, upgrading the monolithics and deepening the process. Yeah, especially the seeds。that is our core goal. Yes, today we also talk about agricultural patterns in three central american and russian countries through the small mouth of potatoes. There are also some competitions behind technology, processing and policy. All right, that's it. We'll see you next time. ", "ttts m"https://tosv. Byed.
