The imbalance between supply and demand in the market brought about by the bumper grain harvest is one of the key factors in the decline of peasant incomes. Overproduction has led to a decrease in the income of farmers in agricultural products. The cost pressure of agricultural modernization is also a problem, with increased investment in technology and equipment, and bumper harvests difficult to compensate for high costs. The international market is not smooth, and the agricultural products are unsalable and sluggish. The lack of added value of agricultural products is another challenge, and the traditional production model limits the increase of the added value of agricultural products in the market. **Insufficient support is a bottleneck restricting the growth of farmers' income, and policies should be more differentiated and targeted. Improving these issues, including promoting market balance, increasing added value, reducing agricultural production costs, and strengthening policy support, will create good conditions for farmers to obtain more stable and considerable incomes in bumper years.In recent years, China's agriculture has made remarkable achievements, and the bumper grain harvest has become a bright spot in the society. However, it is worrying that behind the bumper harvest, some farmers have found that their incomes have not increased with it, but have shown a downward trend. This seemingly paradoxical phenomenon has raised eyebrows, and we have to wonder why bumper grain harvests sometimes lead to lower incomes.
A bumper grain harvest is not a one-size-fits-all good thing, as a bumper harvest can lead to an imbalance between supply and demand in the market, pushing agricultural products lower. When there is a surplus of grain, the food on the market is rapid, which can be a heavy blow to farmers. In the case of oversupply, the market value of agricultural products will be greatly reduced, and the farmers' sales income will naturally decrease.
This imbalance between supply and demand in the market is partly due to the imbalance and irrationality of agricultural production. Some regions focus on growing the same agricultural product and neglect to diversify it. Once the output of this single agricultural product is too high, it will easily lead to market saturation and low consumption, and the income of farmers will also be implicated.
With the advancement of agricultural modernization, farmers use more technology and equipment in production, and the purchase and maintenance costs of these equipment are gradually rising. While the introduction of these technologies has increased the efficiency of agricultural production, it has also put farmers under greater economic pressure. The excess production from a bumper grain harvest may not be able to compensate for the high costs of modern agriculture, resulting in a decline in farmers' net incomes.
In addition, modern agricultural production also requires a large amount of capital investment, such as the purchase of fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, etc. While these inputs help to increase yields, in good harvest years, a decline in agricultural products can make it difficult for farmers to recoup these inputs, resulting in lower net income.
The sale of agricultural products is affected not only by the domestic market, but also by fluctuations in the international market. In good harvest years, a similar situation can occur on a global scale, leading to the widespread use of agricultural products on the international market. If China's agricultural products rely on exports, then the impact of this international market on farmers will be more obvious.
* Poor performance may lead to unsalable agricultural products, which in turn will reduce the market value of agricultural products. In this case, even if farmers have access to high-yield agricultural products, it is difficult for them to increase their incomes due to insufficient market demand and low prices.
In agricultural production, in addition to food production, the added value of agricultural products is also crucial. However, at present, agriculture in some areas of China is still stuck in the traditional mode of production, and the degree of primary and deep processing of agricultural products is low. As a result, it is difficult for agricultural products to obtain higher market added value, and it is difficult for farmers' incomes to be effectively improved.
To change this situation, it is necessary to increase support for the agricultural product processing industry, promote the transformation of agricultural products to the direction of deep processing, and increase the added value of agricultural products. It is only by increasing the added value of agricultural products that farmers can obtain a more stable and substantial income in the years when the grain harvest is abundant.
* has an important impact on the income level of farmers. If there is no corresponding policy support for the part of agricultural output that is too high, it will be difficult for farmers to cope with the pressure in the harvest year.
* The market value of agricultural products can be increased and the basic income of farmers can be guaranteed by establishing a reserve system for agricultural products and promoting agricultural production and marketing cooperatives. In addition, differentiated agricultural support policies can be developed to encourage farmers to adopt efficient and environmentally friendly technologies in production, reduce the cost of agricultural production, and increase farmers' net income.
In the joy of a bumper grain harvest, we cannot ignore the practical problems faced by farmers. Behind the phenomenon of grain cheapness hurting peasants reflects a series of problems existing in China's agricultural production, which need to be solved through the joint efforts of China, society and farmers themselves. By improving the balance between supply and demand in the market, promoting the increase in the added value of agricultural products, and increasing policy support, we are expected to achieve a steady increase in farmers' incomes on the basis of a bumper grain harvest and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the rural economy.
