v5 Chapter 40： , Agricultural plan

More than one hundred plans of the Ministry of Industry, in just one day, the parliament completed the deliberation and passed. This efficiency is estimated to be unbelievable in European countries, but this is the normal working efficiency of the Bulgarian parliament.

Everyone has a job, and things that were opposed for the sake of opposition cannot be born in Bulgaria. The parties that were suppressed by Ferdinand have now disappeared.

Nowadays, the Bulgarian people don’t care what you are talking about. To participate in the election of parliamentarians, let’s first show what you have made for this country. The talkative party has long been unable to get along!

On August 13, the meeting continued today's consideration of agriculture, and the host Rolex Dodd stepped onto the rostrum as usual.

"At the beginning of the meeting, everyone's deliberation today is the outline of the agricultural exhibition submitted by the Ministry of Agriculture. The main contents include:

1. The plan to increase the national grain production capacity by 10 million tons and increase the construction of water conservancy projects in the main grain producing areas; (Budget 650 million lev)

2. Promote agricultural technological innovation, improve the public welfare agricultural technology extension system, develop modern seed industries, and accelerate agricultural mechanization; (Budget 360 million lev)

3. Improve the modern agricultural industry system, promote large-scale cultivation of horticultural products, livestock products, and aquatic products, accelerate the development of facility agriculture, agricultural product processing industry, and circulation industry, and promote the professionalization of agricultural production and management; (budget 120 million lev)

4. Exhibition of water-saving agriculture in Iraq and Syria; (Budget 100 million Lev)

5. Promote the cultivation of cash crops, such as: cotton, coffee, roses, grapes, etc.; (budget of 80 million lev)

6. The minimum guaranteed price for domestic grains is tentatively set at 368 Levs per ton. Once the purchase price of commercial grains drops below this price, the Ministry of Agriculture will provide funds to rescue the market; (budget unknown)

..."

The Minister of Agriculture James Ivanov has stepped onto the rostrum and accepted questions from members of Parliament.

The first person to be qualified to ask questions was a young engineer. He opened his mouth and asked: "Dear Mr. James, may the Ministry of Agriculture increase agricultural output while enforcing minimum food protection prices. Isn't this a contradiction?

We all know that under the laws of the market economy, the price of grain is linked to production capacity. After the total grain output increases, the consumption of the market has not kept up, so the price drop is inevitable!

Based on the current domestic arable land data in Bulgaria, we can calculate it.

Romania area: 96,100 square kilometers;

Central Balkans (35,000 square kilometers in the former Bulgaria area, plus Istanbul area) 54,600 square kilometers;

15,800 square kilometers in Bosnia and Herzegovina; (including part of Croatia's territory, mainly Dalmatia)

38,100 square kilometers in Greece;

The area of ​​Albania is 0.71 million square kilometers;

Montenegro area: 0.23 million square kilometers;

33,100 square kilometers in Serbia;

The area of ​​Macedonia is 0.33 million square kilometers;

The area of ​​arable land in our homeland alone is as high as 254 thousand square kilometers. There is still a lot of room to dig into this figure. We only counted the area of ​​existing arable land and did not count orchards, pastures, and land for growing cash crops.

We have not been able to calculate the area of ​​arable land in the colony, but the area of ​​arable land in Asia Minor has exceeded 20 square kilometers. If we calculate our new African colony, the potential arable land area is very large on the land of nearly 10 million square kilometers. There may be millions of hectares. Is it necessary for us to open all of them?

The so-called ten-year increase in total grain output by 10 million tons, perhaps the government can do nothing, as long as the land is distributed to the farmers, they can do it themselves! "

In the background, Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction. This kind of well-founded question is his favorite.

The data party is not easy to mess with, but now Bulgarians like to talk about data. Under Ferdinand’s butterfly effect, the mathematics level of the Bulgarian people has ranked first in the world.

From the perspective of the area of ​​arable land alone, let alone an increase of 10 million tons in total grain output, an increase of hundreds of millions of tons is theoretically achievable.

James calmly said: "This question is a good question. While we are greatly increasing grain production, we are also trying to stabilize grain prices. It seems to be contradictory, but in fact this question is not contradictory!

We do not intend to increase food production by simply increasing the planting area, but more use of more advanced agricultural technology.

Although the land area of ​​the colony is vast, it is impossible to open it all in the short term. Taking into account the different geographical conditions, agriculture believes that it is more cost-effective to grow cash crops on these lands.

In terms of grain yield per mu, we are nearly 15% lower than that of France, which has advanced agricultural technology. This gap is the result of our promotion of new agricultural technology. Twenty years ago, our grain yield per mu was less than three of theirs. Two of them!

The popularization of new technologies will also help farmers increase their income and improve their living standards!

The problem of protecting food prices is even simpler. Food prices in the world are fluctuating and fluctuating. We must ensure the basic income of farmers. We can’t let them go bankrupt just because of the sharp drop in food prices on the international market.

As the second largest food exporter in Europe (now the first is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and bears have not had time to farm), we naturally have to keep our market share, otherwise the grain production of the British and French colonies will expand. The industrial chain is gone.

Although on the surface our total grain output is rising, don’t forget that our population is also rapidly increasing. Ten years later, after excluding the increased domestic demand, the increase in exports of grain will not be too high. , Will still be within the tolerance of the international market!

Because of the increased financial expenditures for implementing the protection of grain prices, we can also earn back through taxation in the subsequent grain circulation links. This involves a series of economic issues. "

The main exporters of Bulgarian food are Italy and Germany. Due to the world war, their purchasing power has been greatly reduced. Bulgarian farmers have to adjust their crops according to their purchasing power.

For example: now cheaper potatoes and black bread have become the staple food on their table, so Bulgarian farmers have to grow these crops to replace the original wheat.

As a major food exporter, we must always pay attention to the changes in the international food market.

If supply exceeds demand, prices may fall sharply or even be unsold. Although short supply can increase prices and make a big profit, the British and French colonies are not short of arable land. Under the stimulus of profit, once capitalists open up these areas, they will Don't think about living a good life in big food exporting countries!

Seeing that the young man who asked the question had already returned to his position, Rolex Dodd said again: "The meeting continues, the old rules, please raise your hands if you have any questions!"

The brushing group raised their hands, and Rolex Dodd continued: "The old gentleman in the middle of the second row invites you!"

Following this, the old man asked: "Mr. James I don’t understand why the government is spending a lot of money on water-saving agriculture?

Since there is a shortage of water in the area, we should not develop agriculture. With such a large country as Bulgaria, where agriculture is not possible, why must we go to Iraq and Syria? "

James calmly said: "This issue has something to do with the industrial exhibition. To be precise, it is the oil industry. At present, our domestic oil companies have explored oil in the above-mentioned areas.

We all know that oil extraction is a very troublesome thing, which requires a lot of manpower. If there is no accident, several more cities will be added to the local area.

Our government must solve the food problem of these people. If they are shipped from other places, wheat and potatoes are okay, but vegetarian dishes and meat are very troublesome.

This requires the addition of a large number of freezing equipment and cannot guarantee the freshness of the dishes. From the economic point of view, we use local resources to become self-sufficient, which is even more cost-effective! "

The old man clicked a bit with satisfaction, and then sat down. As an older generation, in his opinion, the government only needs to have a purpose in doing things. The most feared is tossing.

Rolex Dodd said again: "The meeting continues, please raise your hand if you have any questions!"

After a pause, he spoke again: "The second gentleman from the right in the sixth row, please speak!"

The middle-aged man stood up and said hesitantly: "Dear Mr. James, I am very puzzled by the government's increasing investment in agriculture!

In the next ten years, the government's investment in agriculture will reach 3.6 billion lev? If this money is invested in industry or education, we
