Make Good Use of "Price Mechanism" to Limit Pesticide Fertilizer in China

Surveys in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces in China's grain-producing provinces have found that the application of chemical fertilizers has played a positive role in increasing grain production in recent years, but it has also caused some farmers to suffer from “fertilizer dependency syndrome”, and the amount of chemical fertilizers has increased year by year and this trend has also increased. Intensified. Industry sources pointed out that the total amount of chemical fertilizers used in China is too high, excessive application of chemical fertilizers will bring about the degradation of soil quality, food production and other consequences, resulting in black soil more species "lean", endangering food security, has begun to affect the sustainable development of China's agriculture development of.

The author once communicated with a farmer whose land was once fertile, but it is almost impossible to grow fertilizer now. The once fertile black land has become more and more “thin”, which is undoubtedly heartbreaking. It should be admitted that the reason why pesticides and fertilizers are abused in agricultural production is indeed related to costs. Since the peasants are also rational economic people, how to obtain the highest profits, of course, will have their own account. For example, pesticides and fertilizers are not only convenient to use, but also less labor-intensive and less costly than investing too much in agricultural production. Why not? Not only this, but also pesticides, can also play a role in preventing pests and diseases, since the use of pesticides with high toxicity, will not affect the final selling price, the price is much lower, for the sake of reducing the cost of agricultural production, low prices and high toxicity The pesticides and fertilizers have become the first choice for farmers. It is no surprise.

It is not difficult to see that the reason why pesticides and fertilizers are so popular in the production of agricultural products is that “the price is too low” is indeed the culprit. In response, the headmaster of the South China Agricultural University had used a "price increase" prescription to limit the use of pesticides and fertilizers. It can be imagined that as long as the prices of pesticides and fertilizers are high, they will no longer have an advantage over farmyard fertilizers and labor costs. Farmers with economic rationality will definitely re-evaluate the situation, the farmers will return to their old jobs, and the farmyard fertilizers will be re-employed. It really is just around the corner.

However, raising the price of pesticides and chemical fertilizers may not be taken for granted. It is not even for anyone who can speak. After all, the producers and distributors of pesticides and fertilizers are not fools. If they could sell a high price, they would probably not sell them for the sake of patronizing the farmers. Since the price of pesticides and fertilizers has to be determined by the market, raising prices cannot be wishful thinking. It can be seen that "improving the price of pesticides and fertilizers for farmers" is certainly not lacking in creativity, but it is somewhat contrary to the laws of the market, and it lacks practical operability.

In theory, limiting the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, in addition to the necessary industrial guidance, of course, also need to rely more on economic leverage, but rather than let prices of pesticides, fertilizers, it is better to set the necessary standards for the quality of agricultural products. At least letting different quality agricultural products obtain market prices that are commensurate with them, it is not difficult to imagine that if agricultural products that do not use pesticides and chemical fertilizers have more recognition and value in the market, pesticides and fertilizer residues are If the market is unpopular, even if it is not possible, the effective transmission of the price mechanism will also allow farmers to make reasonable choices. In addition, the external costs of pesticides and fertilizers caused by soil destruction and environmental pollution should also be fully reflected.

To a certain extent, the use of pesticides and fertilizers is so cheap. In fact, it is not in compliance with regulations and the market is not standardized. The cost of pesticides and fertilizers must be fully reflected. Of course, it is also inseparable from the norms of agricultural products markets. In place. In this sense, compared to pesticides and chemical fertilizers, farmers can not afford to buy, and agricultural products with pesticides and fertilizer residues can't be sold. In fact, they only respect the laws of the market and are even more deterrent.
