I believe many people have heard of the saying "Rare things are more valuable", especially in the eyes of business people. It can be said to be a wise saying. Yes, what is scarce in the market? If you happen to have it, you can sell it for a good price. This shows that the market is in short supply of this resource. But when everyone is producing such scarce products, one result will be that the market is saturated, and the products are not only difficult to sell but also cannot be sold at a good price. This may explain why some agricultural products are low in price and unsaleable.
Because there is a gap between the administrative level of village officials and Western developed countries, and also because the agricultural expertise of our farmers is different from that of Western farmers. In China, it is rare for a person to cultivate 100 acres of land; in the United States, it is common for a person to cultivate 5,000 to 6,000 acres of land or even tens of thousands of acres of land. Recently, a reporter flew to the United States for on-site inspection and found that American farmers only spend 20% of their time on the land a year. Not only that, they are also mechanics, accountants, investors, and some are even "multi-millionaires".
Farmers’ hard work has created less arable land to feed the world’s vast population of Chinese people. In that era when having enough food was the first goal, they turned their heads to the loess and their backs to the sky, working hard in the fields. With their own hard work, they never wasted a piece of land, a ridge of wheat, or a seedling. China, which accounts for a quarter of the world, has emerged from an era of lack of food and clothing. 3360 With the development of industry and accession to the WTO, food entered the market as a commodity and entered the economy with a price, so it was not for eating.
The annual net income per person per mu of land is three to four hundred yuan, and a family with six or seven acres of land can earn more than one thousand yuan a year. If each family has 200 acres of land and an annual income of tens of thousands of yuan, farmers will never be poor. Yes, this is actually the main reason. At present, many areas do not have a good judgment on the demand for agricultural products. People obtain the sales volume and price of agricultural products through some limited channels, which will inevitably lead to people blindly producing some agricultural products with high prices and good sales. Therefore, there is a large amount of excess in the market. Once the market is saturated, the price will naturally not reach the expected high price, and it is reasonable to expect slow sales. Market information asymmetry is a very important reason; at the venue, reporters randomly distributed questionnaires and surveyed nearly 10 farmers and found that their farms ranged from 3,500 acres to 25,000 acres.
