Chapter 225 Reports from various media
Tianyu No. 1 has basically established its market position this year, and no one on the market can beat it.
The payment was returned very quickly, and with the addition of Alfalfa No. 1 seed, the financial situation was suddenly relaxed.
Ning Xiaojing has sent relevant media reports via email.
Guo Yang sat relaxedly on the chair and looked expectantly.
Ji Province Daily;
Hei Province Daily;
China Business News;
Grain and Oil Market News;
Lu Province Daily;
Farmers Daily...
With a series of media reports, there is no doubt that the media’s sense of smell is keen.
Three rural issues have always been the focus of the upper management. As long as you observe carefully, you will find that reporters are indispensable in the farmland during the spring plowing season every year.
They are everywhere in the fields, agricultural input markets, seed companies, etc., paying attention to the annual agricultural input market.
Guo Yang read them one by one, and basically every report revolved around Tianyu 1.
From the perspective of farmers, agricultural supply stores and seed companies, the market influence of Tianyu No. 1 is exaggerated.
For example, the scene when the Jilin Provincial Daily interviewed farmers.
Wang Delin is a major corn grower in a village in Qinggang County, Suihua. This year he planted 107 acres of corn, all of which are Tianyu No. 1.
“Why not welcome it?”
“Although the seeds of Tianyu No. 1 are expensive, they are sown in single seeds without thinning and the germination rate is high.”
"The yield and quality are also guaranteed, and the purchase price is also high."
Wang Delin said: "Last year, more than 2,000 acres were planted in the whole village, and the growth was better than in previous years in the year of the disaster."
>The reporter asked: "How much higher is the germination rate of Tianyu?"
"At least 10% higher. The germination rate of domestic seeds is only 85%."
"Although domestic seeds are cheap , but you have to sow two or three seeds together and then thin out the seedlings. After all, the cost of the seeds is not much different.”
Farmers highly praise Tianyu No. 1, but the subsequent reports about agricultural supplies stores and dealers are intriguing.
Tong Yudong was originally the manager of Dingfeng Seed Industry.
In 2005, Tong Yudong, who had been working in sales in the seed industry for many years, planned to go it alone.
He rented a shop across the road at the intersection of Seed Commercial Street in YL City and opened his own seed company.
In an interview with China Business News, he said: "The market is not as good as I believed. If it weren't for some of the old customers we had accumulated, we probably wouldn't be able to survive."
"The market competitiveness of Tianyu No. 1 is too strong."
"In the spring, I actually felt a deep chill."
But the worst thing is still the seed industry company.
Especially in reports from the Northeast, many news topics are highly provocative.
“Tianyu No. 1 has captured the city, and small and medium-sized enterprises are in danger.”
"Youqi Tianyu No. 1..."
...
And other similar questions, they all mean the same thing.
The squeeze of fine varieties such as Tianyu No. 1, Xianyu 335 and Zhengdan 958 has caused the market space of other domestic varieties (local) to be suffocated.
Especially the description of Tianyu No. 1,
People look at it and think that foreign seeds are once again attacking cities and plundering territory in the country.
Zhang Ping is the owner of Pingan Seed Industry in Jilin Province. After the Spring Festival, Zhang Ping wished he could not touch the ground.
It is normal to be busy during the planting season.
But this year is different from previous years.
Zhang Ping told reporters that Ping An Seed's corn seed sales volume in 2005 was still 20 million jins, but this year it was only two to three million jins.
"How can we not be anxious?"
"The annual sales volume of corn seeds in Jilin Province is about 200 million kilograms. In previous years, we could account for 10% of the market share."
"This year is only last year. One-fifth of the sales volume.”
“We were forced to have no choice. Sales in the province were small, so we went to other places.”
“Bypassing key areas, we went to Heilongjiang. , to cover some peripheral areas of Inner Mongolia.”
"This is all a dilemma caused by Tianyu 1. Tianyu 1 may have occupied 70% to 80% of the market in the Northeast."
"There is no way to survive!"
See here When he saw it, Guo Yang's eyes narrowed.
This is obviously exaggerating the facts.
Tianyu No. 1 has 206 million kilograms of seeds, and the total sown area is just over 58 million acres.
There are 50 to 60 million acres of corn sown area in the Northeast alone!
70% to 80% of the market share is an area of 30 to 40 million acres. Are you kidding me? Are there other major corn-producing areas left alone?
Northeast, Huanghuaihai, North China, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Northwest, and Southwest are the 6 main corn-producing areas in the country.
Except for the southwest, the other five major corn-producing areas are Tianhe’s S, A, and B-level markets.
Among them, Huanghuaihai and Northeast China are the most popular.
This guy named Zhang Ping is obviously being alarmist.
The reporter then went to interview the local agricultural bureau and the professor of the genetics and breeding department of the Agricultural University.
A section chief of the Agricultural Bureau estimated that the market share of Tianyu No. 1 is 30~40%,
A professor at Agricultural University believes it is at least 50%.
But no matter which number it is, there is no doubt that Tianyu No. 1 has become the largest corn variety in the Golden Corn Belt.
Then there were some content about worrying about the country and the people, such as seed safety and food security.
Guo Yang just smiled and turned over.
This is the urine quality of local breeding enterprises.
But through some pictures, he really saw the figure of Xianyu 335 as Qu Yang said.
This is just a paper media report. Qu Yang must have learned the information through TV news and private investigations.
Probably true. Guo Yang silently wrote it down.
This Liangzi, Denghai Seed Industry has formed a relationship with Tianhe Seed Industry.
Now Tianyu No. 1 has basically reached the opposite position of all domestic corn seeds. There is nothing to say, just do it.
I flipped through it for a while,
Most of the local reports are of a local protection nature, that is, speaking out for local seed companies.
Even agricultural bureaus and experts in various places are also following this trend.
Looking worried.
This is also a problem left over from China’s history. Most of the thousands of existing seed companies were born out of the original seed management stations.
It is normal to not make progress and just muddle along.
Suddenly, Guo Yang accidentally spotted a familiar name.
Xu Xiaoxue.
Reporter from Seed Industry Weekly
He thought for a while, it must have been a few months ago, and he met it on the Urad grassland last year when corn was being sown.
We caught poachers together, ate mutton together, and happened to meet a man and a woman who were selling the seeds of the Zheng Dan 958 deck.
He smiled unconsciously.
He picked up the Farmers Daily in his hand. The Seed Industry Weekly is a subsidiary of the Farmers Daily.
The general content is still the same.
Tianyu No. 1 has been snapped up by farmers, agricultural supplies stores, seed companies...
The difference is that Xu Xiaoxue is a professional seed reporter after all and knows the inside story of seed decks.
For example, Qu Yang mentioned before that agricultural supplies stores usually place a Tianyu No. 1 bag at the door of the store.
Xu Xiaoxue asked specifically to make trouble.
The shopkeeper said miserably: "It is true that Tianyu No. 1 seeds are only sold by Tianhe Seed Industry, but if we don't put a Tianyu bag in front of the store, ordinary people will not enter your store. Buy seeds."
Xu Xiaoxue: "Do you sell deck seeds?"
The store owner secretly told Xu Xiaoxue: "Tianyu doesn't have it, but there is Xianyu 335, which is the same. Good seeds and cheap.”
The description is quite interesting.
Xu Xiaoxue then went to Tianhe’s local branch to interview the situation of Tianhe Seed Industry.
This should be a distribution center. Compared with the crowded scenes of other seed companies on the commercial street, Tianhe's store is obviously deserted.
The staff also chatted with Xu Xiaoxue from time to time.
In the picture taken, there are still two or three boxes of promotional plastic water cups made by Tianhe to promote seeds.
But the seeds in the entire warehouse have basically been sold out.
People from Tianhe branch said: "The market share of Tianyu No. 1 is far less than the legend says, and the planting area of Tianyu in the entire county is only 20 to 30%."
Guo Yang thinks this number is reliable.
The report of Seed Industry Weekly is still very professional, and it also specifically analyzes the current structure and problems in the industry.
On the 958th day of the 958th year of Zheng Dan's reign, Xishan declined, and the new king Tianyu No. 1 rose strongly.
At the same time, the layout of foreign-funded seed companies in the country was also analyzed.
Due to restrictions on domestic investment terms, foreign-funded companies cannot control domestic grain crop enterprises.
The idea of foreign investment is very simple.
Since we can’t hold a controlling stake, we can jointly invest in several more seed companies.
The same can be achieved.
And they only focus on the top seed companies in the industry.
For example, Denghai-Pioneer, Shazhou-Pioneer, as well as cotton and vegetable seeds from Monsanto, flowers and vegetables from Syngenta and Rixwang.
Especially flowers and vegetables, this is an area that has fallen into decline in China.
“In recent years, except for Tianhe Seed Industry, which has made a weak voice in the past two years, the entire market is dominated by foreign capital.” Xu Xiaoxue wrote.
“A weak voice?” Guo Yang was a little lost.
Red No. 1, Tianjiao No. 1, Super Red Core, tomato, cauliflower, cabbage, and Tianhe’s vegetable seeds are not lacking.
Isn’t it a bit contemptuous to use weak to describe people? It's like mocking the short and small penis of a man.
However, the situation in the field of flowers is indeed true.
After staying in Jiuquan for several years, Guo Yang has a clear understanding of the development of Jiuquan's seed industry.
Jiuquan is a golden area for seed production in the domestic seed industry, but the proportion of seed production area for food crops is not high.
Instead, vegetable and flower seeds account for the vast majority.
Since the beginning of the opening of the seed industry market, my country has not placed restrictions on the vegetable and flower markets.
This resulted in the entire market falling immediately as soon as the market was liberalized. Vegetable and flower seeds with foreign investment accounted for more than 90%.
Although Tianhe has begun to make efforts in the vegetable field in the past two years, it has regained no more than 10% of the market share, or even less.
Well, this is not considered weak.
Thinking of this, Guo Yang's mind sank into the seed store again.
It’s still that familiar space, with cold shelves filled with all kinds of seed bags.
These are samples that Guo Yang transferred in one after another for daily testing.
Most of them are based on wild seed resources collected by Bi Qiang.
The resistance of wild species is indeed rarer.
"303 points of natural energy." Guo Yang was a little surprised to see how much it was last time.
256 points?
The average monthly increase is 41 points. This time, almost exactly one month has passed, with an increase of 47 points.
Spring is here, the earth is green, even the seed shops are in heat?
It is the season when all things revive, whether it is alfalfa, Haloxylon ammodendron in the desert, or grasslands, their heads are beginning to look a little green.
The rate of natural energy accumulation is also accelerated.
It seems reasonable.
