Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly issued the "Production and Development Plan for Main Sugar Cane Production Areas (2015-2020)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), and Guangxi will build a core base for sugar cane production of 5 million mu. By 2020, the output of the core base will reach 30 million tons.

The development of the cane sugar industry has become a national strategy, and Guangxi's sweetness industry has ushered in new opportunities for development. According to the requirements of the "Planning", Guangxi should take a number of measures to break through the bottleneck constraints such as poor production conditions, lagging research and development of improved varieties, single variety, and low degree of mechanization, so as to make up for the shortcomings of the cane sugar industry and improve the competitiveness of the cane sugar industry in our region.

1 Fertilizer and supplementary irrigation, dry sloping land produces gold

"More than 90% of the sugarcane fields in Guangxi are dry sloping land. The sugarcane fields have large slopes, many stones, poor soil, lack of infrastructure such as irrigation and drainage, and poor resource conditions." Industry experts believe that to solve the problem of increasing the production and income of sugar cane, The first and foremost problem is to do a good job in land remediation.

The relevant person in charge of the Development and Reform Commission of the Autonomous Region introduced that the field project in the core area of ​​5 million mu in Guangxi will select the sugarcane area with a slope of less than 13 degrees and a single planting area of ​​more than 500 mu, focusing on the land improvement of the sugarcane area on gentle slopes and hills, to ensure "Small plots become larger" as the focus, speed up land transfer and field consolidation. Adjust the flatness of cultivated land, dig high and fill low, clear out exposed stone buds, improve the field irrigation and drainage system, build field mechanized roads, and improve soil fertility.

According to the "Planning", Guangxi uses the rivers in southern Guinan, Hongshui River, Liujiang River, Zuojiang River, and Yujiang tributaries as irrigation water sources, and focuses on the construction of water pumping stations, water transmission and distribution pipes (channels), high-level adjustment and storage tanks and other water sources. Water distribution system. To this end, our district should speed up the construction of small-scale water storage projects, pump stations, machine wells, cellars and other drought-resistant water source projects, and complete the transmission and distribution canal (pipe) network to ensure that the irrigation water can reach the fields. Guide sugarcane farmers to support drip irrigation belts, Xiaobailong and other field water conservancy facilities, and timely supplement irrigation in combination with drought conditions.

2. Renovate the land and improve the level of mechanization

"The slow progress of mechanization in the whole process of sugar cane production in Guangxi is a prominent bottleneck restricting development. The machine sowing rate is only 27.1%, and the machine yield rate is only 4.3%." Industry insiders believe that the main reason for the slow progress of mechanization is that the sugarcane fields are located on the hillside. The main land is the land, the fields are small and the flatness is poor, and the production conditions of most fields are not suitable for the requirements of mechanized operation. In addition, there are also factors such as immature sugar cane harvesting machinery and inadequate agricultural machinery and agronomic measures. After land remediation, it will also create good conditions for the promotion of mechanized operations in the whole process.

According to the relevant person from the Development and Reform Commission of the autonomous region, according to the "Planning", in the future, it will vigorously promote the whole process of mechanization focusing on mechanized deep loosening, mechanized planting, mechanized soil cultivation and mechanized harvesting, and improve the mechanization level of sugar cane production. Guangxi will use 20,000 mu. As a working unit, it can maximize the use of equipment and equipment. Through mechanized sowing, labor costs will be effectively reduced, the cost of sowing will be reduced from the current 240 yuan per mu to 170 yuan, and the cost per mu will be saved by 70 yuan; by promoting mechanized harvesting, the harvesting cost will be reduced from the current 120-150 yuan/ton to 60 yuan. -80 yuan/ton, saving about 300 yuan per mu.

3 Good seeds and good methods to improve quality and efficiency

"In view of the single variety of sugar in our region and the serious degradation of varieties, an important main direction in the future is to speed up the promotion and application of improved varieties." A person from the Development and Reform Commission of the autonomous region said that in the next step, our region will rely on existing sugarcane scientific research institutions across the country. , fill in the gaps and supplement the research and development equipment, and speed up the introduction, screening and cultivation of sugarcane varieties at home and abroad. Build new sugarcane variety breeding centers and innovation bases, speed up the selection and breeding of high-yield, high-sugar, high-resistance, and widely suitable varieties suitable for the region, and focus on breeding varieties suitable for mechanized operations.

According to the "Planning", Guangxi will combine the layout of core production bases and existing breeding bases to transform and construct 415,000 mu of improved seed breeding bases, and establish and improve a three-level professional seed expansion system that can cover major sugarcane areas. The main contents include: building warehouses, greenhouses, greenhouses, seedling production workshops, leveling land, and improving infrastructure such as base water conservancy and field roads. At the same time, carry out high-yield supporting experiments and demonstrations such as comprehensive pest control, variety introduction and trial planting, and deep ploughing and subsoil technology.

In addition, the cultivation structure of sugar cane varieties will be optimized, the breeding and promotion of new varieties will be accelerated, the cultivation area of ​​detoxified and healthy seedlings will be expanded, the per-unit yield will be improved by relying on varieties, and comprehensive agronomic measures will be comprehensively promoted. Through comprehensive measures, the core base will achieve a yield of 6 tons per mu. Above, the increase of production is about 1.5 tons, and the income per mu can be increased by about 750 yuan.

4 Adjusting the distribution of benefits, cane farmers and sugar companies have their own benefits

The "Planning" points out that sugarcane production bases will be encouraged to concentrate on large planters, family farms and professional sugarcane production organizations, to promote large-scale planting, and to improve the organization and specialization of production bases. Encourage sugar companies to participate in the construction of the "first workshop" of production bases, and guide sugar companies to become the main body of promotion of improved seeds, high-yield cultivation techniques and agricultural mechanization. Encourage the establishment of social service organizations such as agricultural machinery and plant protection, and rationally arrange production, harvesting, and processing operations.

"Guangxi's sugar production is to follow the development path of intensive, large-scale and specialized modern sugar industry, and it must innovate the business model." Relevant experts in the industry believe that it is necessary to innovate the organization method of sugar cane production, improve the profit distribution mechanism, and realize the Cane farmers and sugar companies are mutually beneficial.

The relevant person in charge of the Development and Reform Commission of the autonomous region said that in order to get out of the predicament of Guangxi sugar industry, it is necessary to actively promote the mutual shareholding of production bases and sugar companies, and improve the profit distribution mechanism of the industrial chain; Develop order production and realize the industrialized operation of sugar materials; support large producers and cooperative organizations to take shares in sugar companies, form a community of interests, and promote upstream and downstream cooperation in the industrial chain; Establish a negotiation mechanism between sugar cane producers and sugar companies, reasonably determine the proportion of benefit distribution in planting and processing links, and ensure that both production bases and processing companies can obtain reasonable profits.
