Vegetables out livelihood issues "long-standing", "southern garden" exposed the contradiction
Hainan, known as "garden in the South", and why are vegetables appeared on numerous contradictions between supply and demand? Reporters learned that local off-season vegetable self-sufficiency rate was only about 40%, season of self-sufficiency is only 60%. Secondly, the Hainan because of its unique climatic conditions, high leaf vegetable cultivation costs, agricultural enterprises, farmers choose to grow more vegetables, large leafy vegetables from the island, added. Outward redeployment of Hainan Island into the amount of vegetables each year about 800,000 tons, the province's annual vegetable consumption 47%.

"There are serious seasonal local vegetable and structural defects. "The Deputy Director of the Department of Commerce of Hainan Li Longsheng said that in 2012, the provincial government and the province's 18 City (County) long signed a basket of responsibility, 138,000 acres of year-round vegetable base construction in target decomposition to the cities and counties. Accomplish this goal, the island vegetable self-sufficiency rate can reach 70%, but from the fact, all cities and counties are not full.
From the perspective of demand, demand for vegetables in Hainan residents basically stable, but during the winter tourist season, millions of visitors and millions of "migratory bird" crowds pouring into Hainan, Hainan vegetable demand increased dramatically in the short term, resulting in larger price fluctuations.
Circulation in the Middle, except wholesale links retail market at the end of construction defect is also an important cause of high vegetable prices. Late last year, Haikou has set up its first State-owned public welfare basket company. Fu Mingquan, Chairman of the company said: "retail space is unreasonable, dot not consistent with city size and population size is the total end of the problem. "According to him, currently in the 78 farmers ' market in the city of Haikou, only 9 State-owned and the remaining are private.
"The increase in demand on the one hand, on the other hand acute shortage of supply in the island, into the island's vegetable wholesale is a private company market, coupled with inadequate supervision, price not be high? "The province of Hainan Provincial CPPCC members, Federation General Secretary huanglang said.
Investigating the enterprises are unable to draw a full stop, "the visible hand" play a role in the
On the market and stalls over tens of millions of Yuan in connection with penalty unable to let things end on this. Chen Kai said that to strictly enforce the law, should be revoked, seized in connection with the stalls. But only a wholesale vegetable market, closed today, tomorrow, where people go to buy food?
"Hainan special economic zone has been almost 30 years, building skyscrapers, office buildings abound, but as a basis for the livelihood of most of the wholesale vegetable market were alike for many years. "Chen Kai, the Secretary of industry and Commerce of Hainan province said," we should reflect on the basket building what's wrong? "

"Heavy penalties, but falling vegetable prices in Hainan began." Experts believe that strengthening the Hainan "vegetable basket" project, efforts to expand the effective supply of vegetable market, build more vegetable market competition mechanism and rationalize the vegetable market circulation system inside and outside the island, was more critical.
Rural Development Institute of Chinese Academy of social sciences researcher Lee Kwok Cheung believes that to strengthen the supply side of the supply of vegetables in Hainan, in addition to considering set up production bases in other provinces, matchmaking channels directly, locally also should expand and ensure maximum production. Farmers should land circulation and scale operation to grow quality vegetables, its production and sale through the Government and the market to protect.
Kwok Cheung Lee suggested that for a basic vegetable, especially local residents more stable demand for vegetables in Hainan, the Government should by way of market insurance, reduce price volatility, and through the policy insurance of farmers income.
School of political science and public administration, Hainan University Associate Professor Zhang Kongxiang recommended vegetable problems relating to people's livelihood, basket of municipal County responsibility to implement, it is necessary to strengthen the assessment and accountability in this regard.
In circulation, experts suggested that the rational distribution of public markets and increasing sales outlets, opened Island vegetables into the green channel, reducing foreign vegetable transportation and distribution costs. And new or modified 1-2 Government-led public large agricultural products wholesale market, reversing the situation of dominance as soon as possible. "Non-profit State-owned enterprises should assume corresponding responsibilities, especially vegetable contradiction between supply and demand in the market of touch, when price fluctuations. "Fu Mingquan said.
