Chapter 499 I dream of entering the Yanguo grain market

When it comes to Monsanto, many people don’t know about it, but when it comes to “GMO seeds” and “glyphosate herbicides”, most people are familiar with it.

Monsanto is most famous for its "GMO seed technology."

Generally speaking, traditional normal crops can be "saved" through "propagation and breeding", but genetically modified seeds cannot be bred at all. In other words, the seeds become disposable. If you plant them this year, you will have to contact Monsanto next year.

Purchase new seeds.

In addition, the land that has been sprayed with glyphosate, that is, the herbicide, cannot be planted with any crops due to its high toxicity. If you want to plant it, you can only continue to plant genetically modified seeds provided by Monsanto Company.

Because only the genetically modified seeds they provide contain "herbicide-tolerant" gene segments, which can grow immune to the toxicity of herbicides.

It is through this method that Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds have spread almost all over the world...

At this moment, the world's four major grain merchants and Monsanto, the largest genetically modified seed company, are gathered together, and there is no doubt that they are targeting Yan Guo.

The capital tycoons behind the five companies all arrived. After a simple greeting, the conspiracy officially began.

"We are all old acquaintances, so I won't say any more nonsense!"

"The purpose of our gathering today is to fight against our common enemy in this operation - Yanguo!"

Grain is not like any other commodity. After one or two years, what if the farmers no longer grow the 12% of the grain, and these people suddenly decide not to supply the 40 million tons of 12% of the grain?!

After the words fell, the ADM representative sitting next to him said:

Having said this, Grant paused and glanced at the people present.

"I won't go into details about how to maximize the benefits of Yan Guo. This opportunity is once in a lifetime. As long as our companies work together, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and even... it is very likely to force them and

We reach cooperation and open more grain markets to us!"

"Next year, a large number of their farmers will not be able to sow our 'high-yielding genetically modified soybeans', and their large areas of land will become vacant land. It is foreseeable that Yanguo officials will be very anxious before long, and their soybean output will be greatly reduced next year!

"

"Now that Monsanto has completely stopped all kinds of 'seed business' sold in Yanguo, there are not many seeds in stock on the market. It won't be long before they have a 'GMO soybean seed shortage.'"

"Once the conflict breaks out, we will immediately cut off all soybean and grain exports to Yan. When their prices soar and find us, we will sell them to them at a higher price!"

Grant didn't waste much time and continued after a moment of pause:

"However, please don't forget that our main purpose this time is to force Yanguo officials to loosen their control over the grain market and let them purchase large quantities of our grain!"

"Compared with the profits of the entire huge Yanguo grain market, the money we make from reselling soybeans at high prices is just a drop in the bucket!"

Everyone looked stern, and then nodded decisively!

In fact, this time the world's four major grain merchants and Monsanto, the largest seed company, colluded to completely control Yan's imported soybeans and other small amounts of cash crops, such as wheat, corn, barley, sunflower seeds, etc.

"Our 'Louis Dreyfus' Yanguo branch has purchased a large amount of grain in Yanguo in advance in the name of regular commercial procurement as previously agreed..."

"Everyone is doing a great job, let's just wait for the conflict to break out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people present couldn't help but nodded, waiting for him to continue.

Immediately afterwards, it was the turn of a representative from Bunge, another large grain merchant, to say:

"We are calling everyone here today to perform the final ventilation."

"We have also significantly reduced the export of 'Brazilian soybeans' to the country. Soon the country will feel the shortage of soybeans, and all their soybean-related products - animal feed, edible oil, etc. will face huge increases."

Several people in the room quickly confirmed the latest situation of each company. When the last person finished speaking, everyone showed serious expressions on their faces, and all looked at the host of this meeting-Monsanto's Grant.

Why soybeans and other cash crops?

Because Yanguo officials have always attached great importance to staple foods, it has always been an absolute red line to firmly control staple foods in their own hands. Only soybeans, 80% of their output, rely on imports!

However, Yanguo is the world's largest soybean importer, and the four major grain merchants usually do not dare to take such a big risk to blockade Yanguo.

Grant nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Everyone has seen the situation in the Asia-Pacific now, and there is a possibility of conflict breaking out at any time."

"I think I don't need to say more. We at Cargill have already controlled all the grain exports in Southeast Asia. Once the conflict breaks out, I can guarantee that not a single grain will enter the country through formal channels..."

"We have almost done the preliminary work. Once a conflict breaks out, we will completely stop soybean exports to Yan. No, not just soybean exports, but completely block all their food imports, causing a food panic in their country!

"

"Well, that's right."

"Da Mao, Er Mao and Central Asia all have wheat and soybeans that Yan country needs to import. Although Da Mao and Er Mao are still in conflict, we Bunge have also made preparations in advance. Er Mao's grain will not be exported to Yan country.

We will also purchase Da Mao’s wheat and soybeans secretly and strive to export as little as possible to Yan country..."

At that time, not only can you make a lot of money, but you can also take the opportunity to ask Yanguo to import a large amount of tens of millions of tons of grain and staple food every year!

Don't underestimate the import of tens of millions of tons of staple grains. Just take 40 million tons, which is about 12% of Yanguo's annual grain consumption.

Once this hole is opened, it means that 12% of the originally domestically self-sufficient grain will be replaced by 40 million tons of imported grain, which means that domestic food security will face a 12% new risk.

The person speaking was Grant, the big boss behind Monsanto, a bald white man.

The reason why they dared to do this this time was, on the one hand, the official instruction of North America, and on the other hand, once the conflict broke out, the Yan country would have no time to take care of themselves and had to surrender.

That means that this 12% food gap will inevitably cause a huge increase in food prices, and it will be far more than 12%!

This is the consistent routine of the world’s four major grain merchants!

In the past, Yanguo stuck to the red line, but now, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to enter the Yanguo grain market!
