Chapter 177
Under normal circumstances.
If a poor agricultural country wants to develop into an industrial country, the first thing to solve is the funding problem.
Where does the foreign exchange for importing industrial equipment come from?
Where does the money for building and subsidizing factories come from?
Unless it is like the little Japan on the earth, which made a fortune through the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and used 270 million taels of silver to develop industry.
Otherwise, it can only be through the scissors gap.
Cut the meat of the farmers, let the blood of the farmers, and let agriculture feed the hungry industry.
There is no way.
This is the case in all countries in the world!
However, the situation of the Republic of Burkina Faso is a little special. Although it is also an agricultural country, it is also a country sitting on a gold mountain.
With 6,400 tons of exploitable gold in the country and 180 to 200 tons of gold mined each year, Sankara has the confidence to say no to the scissors gap.
The outbreak of the third Middle East war.
It made the price of gold, which had originally started to fall, soar again!
“The United States and the Soviet Union have already ended, and a certain country in the East is also ready to move. Will this third Middle East war eventually become the Third World War?”
Countries around the world are very worried.
As the saying goes, antiques are good in prosperous times, and gold is good in troubled times.
At the beginning of the year, the price of gold fell to as low as $95.4 per gram. After Israel declared war on Egypt without declaring war on May 15, the highest price rose to $131.6 per gram, an increase of 37.9%.
Even now, the price remains at around $120 per gram.
The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, who are responsible for selling gold to countries around the world, have been so happy in the past three months.
They smile when they meet people.
Even if they meet a dog halfway, they will go up and say hello!
…
With 6,400 tons of gold as a backing.
Plus the various aids that Sankara got from the Soviet Union.
Burkina not only did not exploit farmers through the scissors gap, but also used various policies to subsidize farmers, so that farmers do not have to worry about not making money even if they only grow staple food.
This is also one of the important reasons for the surge in staple food production.
But!
“If we do not adjust the existing policies, then next year, our staple food production will likely reach 35 million tons.
The staple food self-sufficiency rate will reach 175%!
Although the president has signed an agreement with the People’s Democratic Republic of Fuso, the excess food can be exported to them at a high price in exchange for foreign exchange, but we don’t really need this foreign exchange.
Continuing to increase the production of staple food will lead to a continued decline in the production of other crops, which seriously violates the president’s latest instructions to our Ministry of Agriculture,”
Sankara’s latest instructions are to enrich the people’s dining table.
“The president’s instructions must be implemented!”
Under the leadership of Minister Amelie, officials from the Ministry of Agriculture held meetings for several days in a row.
Finally,
The Ministry of Agriculture came up with a “vegetable basket project”!
“Establish meat, egg, milk, aquatic and vegetable production bases, as well as service systems such as breeding of fine varieties and feed processing, so that the people’s dining tables will be enriched!”
…
On Blue Star.
Who is the best at farming?
That must be a certain country in the East!
In a certain country in the East where food is the most important thing for the people, as long as it is related to eating, there is nothing they can’t do except what they can’t think of.
Especially the country in the East in this world, the comprehensive national strength is stronger!
In agricultural technology.
It is no exaggeration to say that they say they are the third, and no country dares to say they are the second or the first.
Even the top five may only be the provinces or cities within a certain country in the East that can compete with each other.
There is no other country at all!
Therefore, after the “vegetable basket project” was put together.
The first thing the Ministry of Agriculture thought of was to organize a delegation to go to a certain country in the East to learn from it and learn from its advanced experience.
“If possible, it would be best to hire some agricultural experts from a certain Eastern country to come to Burkina to give us on-site guidance!”
Amelie is also a man of action, and she does what she says!
She immediately applied to Sankara, saying that she wanted to bring officials from the Ministry of Agriculture to visit and study in a certain Eastern country.
Faced with such an application, Sankara naturally would not refuse, and immediately asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to apply to a certain Eastern country.
Perhaps the supreme leader of a certain Eastern country had a good impression of Sankara, and they responded on the same day to express their welcome.
Then, Amelie took a group of agricultural officials to visit Sankara.Officials from the Ministry of Industry took a special plane and flew non-stop to a certain country in the east along Sankara’s last route.
…
Amélie went there in early August.
By the time she came back, it was already late August.
“President, after more than half a month of visiting and studying, I feel very confident that within five years, we can complete the ‘vegetable basket project’ set by our Ministry of Agriculture on the premise of a self-sufficiency rate of at least 110% in major grains. ‘.”
This was the first thing Amélie said when she saw Sankara.
There was a sense of confidence all over her body that if I couldn’t finish it, you would chop off my head.
“Are you so confident?”
Sankara knows very well that enriching the dining tables of the Burkinian people cannot be accomplished overnight.
It takes ten or even ten years of hard work!
This is why Sankara only asked the Ministry of Agriculture to work on this aspect without specifying when it would be completed.
Therefore, Sankara was surprised when she saw that Amélie was so confident that she could complete the “vegetable basket project” within five years.
soon,
Sankara knew why Amélie was so confident.
Amelia didn’t know what method she used to “abduct” dozens of agricultural experts from a certain country in the east.
These experts are all the ones with official status from a country in the East, not some so-called experts who got their names from nowhere.
the most important is!
Burkina only needs to pay the salaries of these experts normally, and a certain Eastern country did not put forward any other additional conditions.
“Is the wool from a certain country in the East so easy to harvest? I was so speechless last time that I couldn’t even harvest a few wool from them!”
Sankara was still a little dissatisfied with the fact that he failed to get a few wools from a certain country in the east last time.
After all, I am used to harvesting wool from the Soviet Union.
But Sankara didn’t pay much attention.
Anyway, no matter who gets it, as long as the people of Burkina benefit from it in the end.
at last,
Sankara smiled and said to Amélie: “In that case, I will wait for five years to check whether your ‘vegetable basket project’ is qualified!
If the acceptance test fails by then, then I will start to consider whether you, Amélie, are qualified as the Minister of Agriculture. ”
Fearing that Amélie would be overconfident and cause unnecessary problems in the future, Sankara gave her a gentle tap.
“President, please rest assured that our Ministry of Agriculture guarantees to complete its mission!”
Amélie still assured Sankara with confidence.
