No. 1 document of ecological agriculture warming up or subsidy degradable agricultural film

According to the convention, the annual Central Rural Work Conference will be held in December. The industry generally expects that the theme of this year's "No.1 Document" is ecological agriculture. During the two sessions of this year, the "No. 1 proposal" is the "green agriculture" proposed by the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society, which proposes to strengthen the purchase of waste agricultural film and implement subsidies for farmers to purchase degradable agricultural film. The feedback and implementation of the CPPCC proposal is an important part of the government's work. Under the background of "No.1 Document" focusing on ecological agriculture, the subsidy policy for degradable agricultural film will play a huge role in promoting the industry once implemented.

Proposal 1 focuses on degradable agricultural film

During the two sessions in March this year, the "No.1 Proposal" of the CPPCC was determined as the "Proposal on Strengthening the Development of Green Agriculture" proposed by the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society.

It is understood that the current agricultural development model in most areas of China is still extensive, with prominent problems such as large consumption of resources, serious waste and intensified pollution. First, the waste of fresh water resources is very serious. Due to the imperfect irrigation facilities, the average utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation level in China is only 0.46, far lower than the level of 0.7-0.8 in developed countries; Second, the energy utilization rate is low, about 30% of large agricultural machinery and 50% of small machinery are still in use beyond the retirement period; Third, the pollution is becoming more and more serious. According to the typical survey and positioning monitoring conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture in recent years, the heavy metal pollution area of cultivated land in China is more than 16%, among which the situation is quite serious in the surrounding areas of large cities and industrial and mining areas.

The Central Committee of the Jiusan Society believes that to solve the above problems, the extensive agricultural development model must be changed as soon as possible. It is suggested to accelerate the development of projects such as soil testing and formula fertilization, increase the proportion of organic fertilizer, strengthen the purchase of waste agricultural film, implement subsidies for farmers to purchase degradable agricultural film, vigorously promote water-saving projects, and adopt policies to support water-saving production and water-saving technology.

After the proposal "on strengthening the development of green agriculture" submitted by the Central Committee of the Jiusan Society became the "0001" proposal of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference this year, the use of degradable agricultural film to reduce farmland pollution and other topics became the focus of market attention.

It is difficult to degrade and recycle agricultural film

The use of plastic film in Xinjiang, Shandong, Hebei and Gansu, the major provinces of plastic film use in China, has been increasing in recent years. Taking Gansu as an example, in 2010, the double-ridge and furrow seeding technology achieved a film coverage area of 6.96 million hectares, other crops coverage area of 530000 hectares, the use of various agricultural plastic films reached 100000 tons, and the annual production of waste agricultural films reached more than 80000 tons.

The thickness of domestic agricultural mulch film is only 0.006~0.008 mm, which is far lower than that of foreign countries. This reduces the production cost and also reduces the tensile strength of mulch film, which brings difficulties to the later mechanized recovery. The current recycling of waste agricultural film is mainly manual collection, and the mechanized recovery rate of waste agricultural film is less than 15%.

At present, the recovery effect of agricultural plastic film is not ideal. The reasons are as follows: firstly, due to the different planting methods in different regions, there are great differences in the mechanized recycling machines and tools for waste agricultural film, and the regional applicability is poor; Second, the recovery efficiency of waste agricultural film is low; Third, there is insufficient understanding of the hazards of waste agricultural film residues. The treatment methods are also relatively backward: first, on-site treatment. Because the recovery of residual film is mostly manual, the recovery is not complete and the work efficiency is not high. The collected plastic film is mostly on-site treatment, which is stacked on the ridge or field road, and no longer ignored; The second is incineration. The waste agricultural film and weeds or straw collected are burned on the ground, which not only pollutes the environment again, but also causes great waste of resources.

In response, some local governments have issued and standardized relevant regulations on agricultural film recycling. At the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth People's Congress of Hainan Province this year, the Regulations on the Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products in Hainan Province were reviewed and passed, and came into force on June 1. According to the regulations, agricultural producers shall timely remove and recycle agricultural films and other agricultural input packaging materials. At present, Gansu has gradually formed a waste plastic film recycling and utilization network with three links of farmers' picking up, network recycling and enterprise processing, which support and constrain each other. Gansu supports the establishment of a number of waste plastic film recycling and processing enterprises to promote the recycling, processing and reuse of waste plastic film and waste plastic products in surrounding areas according to the use and pollution of plastic film in various regions; Set up waste plastic film recycling stations (points) in villages and towns to facilitate farmers to sell; Carry out the work of "replacing old with new" in combination with film subsidies.
