Agriculture encounters "Morante" disaster prevention

[China Agricultural Machinery Industry News] This year, China's severe weather has been frequent, and heavy rains and typhoons have been continually causing devastating disasters for agricultural production. In the past Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, many people have felt the typhoon "Morante" raging, not to mention the moon, and even the door is difficult, many farmers in the affected areas can only watch the crops being submerged, There is no way.

　 Agriculture encounters "Morante" disaster prevention

"Morante" and "Malca" agriculture was hit hard

When it comes to typhoons, Taiwan is a place that has to be mentioned. Every year, Taiwan’s losses caused by typhoons are countless. This time, “Morante” has come strong, and Taiwan is still unable to escape. According to Taiwan's "Lianhe Evening News", Morandi ravaged Kaohsiung, causing serious fruit drop and branching in the main producing areas of guava and jujube in Kaohsiung City, such as Yanchao and Dashe. The Wenwang room facilities were seriously damaged. According to preliminary estimates by the Kaohsiung City Agriculture Bureau, the city’s agricultural production losses amounted to 460 million yuan (NT). As of noon on the 17th, the typhoon of Morandi caused nearly 100 million farm losses.

The two typhoons are like an appointment. "Morante" has just passed, and "Malayka" has come one after another, bringing another injury to the agriculture that has not yet got a breather. Yueqing City just suffered from the attack of these two typhoons. According to preliminary statistics, the economic losses caused by the typhoon to Yueqing were about 90 million yuan, of which agricultural losses were heavy, totaling more than 59 million yuan.

Looking at a string of loss data is heartbreaking, and for many farmers this year's harvest may be ruined by this ruthless typhoon. So, in the face of sudden and severe weather, what can be done to reduce the loss to a small size?

Improve prevention awareness and improve agricultural insurance system

Severe weather is often sudden. In the case of typhoons, although the arrival of typhoons has early warning and forecasting routes, it is still relatively sudden for agricultural production. The growth of crops is a very long process, often calculated in months, and the occurrence of typhoons cannot be predicted so early. Once the typhoon arrives, the house can close the window and the ship can not go out to sea, but the seeds that are planted are not collected. Come back, so for agricultural production, early prevention is very necessary.

Agricultural anti-risk ability is poor, and agricultural insurance leaves a trail for agricultural production. In recent years, China has been actively promoting policy-based agricultural insurance and striving to support umbrellas for farmers. However, as far as China's current agricultural insurance is concerned, due to the shortcomings of disaster identification, low compensation standards, and single insurance products, it faces many obstacles in the specific implementation process. How to adjust and formulate more perfect policy standards has become a top priority.

Natural disasters such as typhoons occur every year, and it is imperative to let agricultural insurance run and form a virtuous circle. In this process, financial subsidies from all levels of government, R&D of insurance companies and the connection of grassroots personnel are needed. It is necessary to raise the awareness of farmers' insurance, and it is necessary to work together to form a sound agricultural insurance system.

What else can I do besides waiting for insurance claims to save agricultural losses?

Let the dryer dehydrate the food

Typhoons often bring heavy rainfall, and many crops are soaked in water, especially like this harvest season. When the food meets water, it is not germinated or moldy. With the help of the dryer, the grain can be dried and reduced in a short time. The loss of food. Therefore, accelerating the construction of grain drying equipment is an important way to benefit the people.

Let agriculture implement mechanized reproduction

The crops were destroyed, except for the sigh that was more to save. After a lot of crops are flooded, they may be able to grab time and plant another season. Mechanized sowing can greatly shorten the time of resumption of production and improve production efficiency. When repairing water-damaged farmland, agricultural machinery can be used to quickly drain water from farmland, so that farmland can be restored to a plantable state as soon as possible.

Strengthen infrastructure construction

The precipitation brought by the typhoon is a sudden drop in time, so it is easy to produce guilt, and the water will not be discharged at once, and it will naturally be submerged. Therefore, water conservancy projects should be done well in the construction of farmland to ensure smooth irrigation and drainage and to build standard farmland.

China is a big agricultural country and one of the countries with more serious agricultural disasters in the world. In the past ten years, an average of 300 million mu of crops have been affected by disasters every year, causing great losses to people, and many farmers have been poor due to disasters. Therefore, in the face of natural disasters such as typhoons, we must have a sense of prevention, provide insurance for crops in advance, and use all resources to reduce losses and promote the healthy development of agriculture when disasters come.
