China News Service, September 19. According to the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, on September 19, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a video conference on the promotion of soybean meal reduction and substitution action, to implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on carrying out food saving actions, and comprehensively promote The soybean meal reduction and substitution action promotes grain saving and consumption reduction in the breeding industry and ensures national food security.
The meeting pointed out that the tight balance between supply and demand is the long-term situation of my country's food security. The demand for feed grains continues to grow, and the most prominent contradiction in food security lies in feed grains.
Soybean meal reduction and substitution is not only a passive choice to deal with the uncertainty of external supply, but also an active action to implement the new development concept to promote high-quality development. important meaning.
It is necessary to insist on improving efficiency, open source, and increasing grass, make efforts from both sides of supply and demand, and take multiple measures to promote grain saving.
The meeting emphasized that in the face of the more arduous task of stabilizing the production and supply of animal products and the increasingly tight resource and environmental constraints, it is necessary to enhance the overall situation awareness and systematic thinking, and take more powerful measures to give full play to the potential of soybean meal and other feed grains. Come out to ensure the supply of feed grains and maintain food security.
It is necessary to further improve ideological understanding and political position, strengthen the linkage between departments, ministries and provinces, government-enterprise linkage, and technology-enterprise linkage, give full play to the role of industry associations, deeply implement soybean meal reduction and substitution actions in the entire industry, and strengthen the promotion of low-protein days. Grain technology, accelerate the development and utilization of alternative resources, focus on increasing the supply of high-quality forage grass, strengthen policy and technical support, and firmly grasp the initiative to stabilize production and supply in the breeding industry.
The meeting released 3 types of technical models for soybean meal reduction and substitution and 8 typical cases of enterprises.
The National Animal Husbandry Station and other units jointly issued the Proposal for Promoting Soybean Meal Reduction and Substitution by Focusing on "Efficiency Improvement and Reduction".
In recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has vigorously implemented the soybean meal reduction and substitution action, focusing on "efficiency reduction, open source substitution", reducing soybean meal consumption on the demand side and increasing the supply of alternative resources on the supply side, which has achieved good results.
In 2021, the proportion of soybean meal in the feed consumed by the national aquaculture industry will drop to 15.3%, down 2.5 percentage points from 2017, saving 11 million tons of soybean meal, equivalent to 14 million tons of soybeans, equivalent to the output of more than 100 million mu of arable land. The overall national food security situation has made positive contributions.
