当前,国营粮食部门面临很大的困境:一是全行业亏损。到1991年底,全国粮食系统累计挂帐加亏损达500亿元左右,平均每个职工负债1.4万多元。有相当一部分企业已经是“空壳”。二是经营萎缩。随着流通体制改革的不断深入和粮食购销价格的逐步理顺,国营粮食部门的平价经营优势逐渐失去, At present, the state-run grain sector faces great difficulties: First, the industry-wide losses. By the end of 1991, the total amount of losses in the national food system was about 50 billion yuan, and the average employee debt was more than 14,000 yuan. A considerable number of companies are already “empty shells.” The second is the shrinking of operations. With the continuous deepening of the reform of the circulation system and the gradual straightening out of the grain purchase and sale prices, the cheap operating advantages of the state-owned grain sector have gradually disappeared.
