Insecticides China Monthly Report

Following the liberation of China in 1949, the central government of the People's Republic of China published a Land Reform in 1950. The law abrogated ownership of land by landlords and redistributed land to landless farmers.
 
The Land Reform was warmlyreceived by the whole country, except Dong Shijin, a famous agronomist in China. He wrote a letter to Chairman Mao, suggesting that the government should not redistribute the land to landless farmers. One of Mr. Dong's reasons was that farmers couldn't get rich from only a small plot of land, and their planting enthusiasm would ultimately fade. 
 
Without doubt, his suggestion was not adopted. However, it was proved that Mr. Dong wasa visionary. At present, the development of agricultural production is being hindered as each family only owns a small plot of land.
 
The government has recognized this situation and started to change its attitude toward land policy in recent years. At present, companies or individuals can rent many small pieces of land and then form a large parcel of land. The No.1 policy document this year even encourages land transfer, aiming to procure more specialized, large-scale farming.
 
Romewasnotbuiltin aday, but these policies will surely change how planting organizations operate in the future, and in turn change the market environment for pesticides. Pesticide companies should also pay more attention to the change, and adjust their marketing strategy timely.
