| Soybeans are our country's traditional export products, especially in the northeast soybeans are exported historically to many countries and regions. It is important food crops as well as oil crops, and it is still an important source of protein. Soybeans have played a very important position in agricultural production in our country, as well as in social and economic life. Our country is recognized as the country of origin of soybean in the world, with more than 5000 years of cultivation and consumption history, and its planting almost across the country. In the 1930s, China is the world's major producers of soybeans. China's soybean production accounts for more than 90% of the average annual share of world soybean. It is in the absolute monopoly status on soybean trade in the world. Since entering the 90's, China has gradually become a net importer of soybeans, soybean meal and soybean oil. The Soybean production ranks from the world's first place to the fourth, following the United States, Brazil and Argentina. Soybeans couldn't meet the social demand in our country. It need to be imported in large quantities as one of the few varieties. According to the prediction of "National food security and long-term planning (2006-2020)": During the "Eleventh Five-Year" period, China's soybean demand is rising for an annual growth rate of 3.49 percent, China's soybean import in 2007 reached 30.82 million tons, but also reached a record level. Because of 80% of food trading volume monopolized by transnational grain growers in the world, resulting in soybean pricing power wanes. Therefore, the uncertainties of importing soybeans speeded up the price change of soybeans , decreasing the stable development of China's soybean industry, weakening the enthusiasm of farmers' planting soybeans. Consequently, China's soybean production stagnated, improved slowly, gradually increased the degree of dependence on soybean imports. Heavily depending on imports of soybeans, not only China's grain security is threatened , but also China's soybean industry is faced with imminent collapse. Heilongjiang Province is China's main producing area of soybean, accounting for a third of soybean output and planting area in the country, being an important commodity grain base, shouldering to defend our country safety of soybean industry. Meanwhile, due to the special geographical and climatic conditions, Heilongjiang soybean plant has a comparative advantage, with 6,600,000 farmers or so, accounting for 33% of the agricultural population. The income from soybean production accounts for 30% of per capita net income of local farmers. The soybean industry development directly impacted on the economy of Heilongjiang Province , the promotion of new rural construction, as well as social stability in rural areas. Hence, it has great significance of the study of Heilongjiang soybean industry.
