再论我国粮食安全问题

On Food Security in China Again

由于1959～1961年三年灾荒时我国饿死过两三千万人,我们对粮食安全有特殊的担忧,这造成对粮食安全问题的深刻误解。加上某位Brown先生有意无意的引导,我国的粮食政策长期不能调整到正确的轨道上来。不但导致几千亿元的经济损失,而且妨碍着农民转移进城,进入非农行业,以逐渐增加他们的收入。本文从国际贸易的角度讨论了国家的粮食安全,认为全世界的粮食供应是非常充沛的,我国买粮食只需出口创汇的1%都不到。保护粮食市场倒是我们应该重视的,一旦粮食市场被破坏,灾荒难免再次降临。

Since approximately 20 to 30 million people starved to death in China when it suffered from three-year famine from 1959 to 1961, we Chinese have had special worry about food security, thus causing deep misunderstanding about the problem of food security. In addition, a certain Mr. Brown had intentionally or unintentionally mislead people, food policy in China has not been adjusted to its correct path for a long time, which not only led to billions of economic losses but also hindered farmers from transferring into the city to enter non-agricultural industries so as to increase their income. Discussing the food security of a country from the perspective of international trade, the paper holds that food supply in the world is sufficient and the money paid by China to buy food accounts for less than one percent of the foreign exchange earned through export. We must take the protection of food market seriously, for once it is destroyed, famine will inevitably occur once more.
