00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04 After eggs and meat are not hard to get, there is also a supply problem for rice.
00:11 As the import of rice increases, the demand for local rice suddenly increases.
00:14 Many places have a shortage of selling and supplying.
00:18 As the supply of rice is concerned, the Daily News revealed in the report that the rice supply market is in a mess.
00:25 However, there are middlemen who are controlling 95% of the domestic rice production.
00:30 These middlemen use the lowest 100-cent per ton of rice and the highest 200-cent commission to extort profits.
00:39 The report described that these middlemen controlled about 2,000 rice fields in North China.
00:45 They have already formed a group.
00:47 But for the Daily News report, when the Minister of Agriculture, Mo Sha, was asked by reporters,
00:52 he only gave a very simple response.
00:55 This is just a claim.
00:58 However, Mo Sha emphasized that the rice supplier has agreed to increase the local rice supply by 20%.
01:08 So Mo Sha is confident that the domestic rice supply will return to normal within a month through this intervention.
01:16 Mo Sha also said that the rice prices are currently imported rice that is not controlled by the government.
01:22 The local rice has been maintained at the US$2.63 per kilogram.
01:44 After the Minister of Agriculture, Mo Sha, visited the Baji Market in Xinshan,
01:48 he said that the rice is not only not affected by the price increase,
01:52 but also the rice supply in the market is quite sufficient.
01:55 So he told people not to worry too much about the rice being over-stocked.
01:59 However, the Chairman of the Consumer Association of Jida, Yu Silijian,
02:02 refuted Mo Sha's statement.
02:04 He said that the local rice had already had short-supply problems three months ago.
02:09 The rice producer, Jida, also had short-supply problems.
02:14 To solve the shortage, Jida called for the government to stop the rice supplier's monopoly.
02:21 We feel that it is time for the government to break the monopoly.
02:26 There are many companies that are capable of running this industry.
02:31 But today, only one company is running the rice industry.
02:39 Yu Silijian also revealed that recently,
02:41 there have been reports of unethical sellers importing local rice into the rice packaging industry
02:45 to obtain profits.
02:46 He has invited relevant departments to supervise rice producers and rice producers
02:49 to prevent people from using this method of stealing and turning the wind.
