Autumn grain harvest is the focus of ensuring food supply and safety

The Executive Meeting of the State Council held on September 26 specially deployed a good job of grasping the harvest of autumn grain and strengthening agricultural and rural infrastructure construction measures to ensure that the autumn income library improved agricultural production capacity. Autumn grain is a big food production throughout the year, accounting for 75%of the annual output. Ensuring the harvest of autumn grain is essential for maintaining food supply and food safety.

This year, the three seasons of summer grains, early rice and autumn grains in my country have achieved a harvest. Summer grain increased by 2.87 billion kg, and early rice production increased by 210 million kilograms. The main production area of ​​autumn grain, especially northeast, Huanghuaihai, and northwest. Facing the background of epidemic conditions, rising prices of foreign agricultural production, and a series of disaster situations, my country's grain production has repeatedly achieved great achievements and effectively ensured food safety.

According to the agricultural dispatching data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the area of ​​food in the autumn of this year exceeds 1.3 billion mu. Most of the country's autumn grains grow better, especially the corn with more than half of the production of autumn grains is generally better than last year. From the perspective of harvesting, the current harvest of autumn grains exceeds 200 million acres, and the large -scale harvest is about to begin in the near future. As of September 20, autumn grains across the country have harvested 236 million mu, and 18.1%have been completed, and the progress is 0.9 percentage points faster. In terms of regions, more than half of the southwestern regions, 20 % in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and South China, 10 % of the northwest region, and the Huanghuaihai and Northeast regions have gained sporadic harvest. The State Food and Material Reserve Bureau provided a dispatch and analysis of the autumn grain acquisition situation. It is expected that the purchase volume of about 185 million tons in the peak season is generally comparable to the annual level. The measures stabilize the price of food to ensure the steady progress of the acquisition of autumn grain.

Affected by various unfavorable factors such as the repeated crown epidemic and the "flood season" in the Yangtze River Basin, domestic grain production and supply have experienced very difficult challenges this year. However, driven by a series of agricultural support policies in the country and localities, the ability to prevent disaster prevention and mitigation of agriculture continues to increase, and the rate of disasters of natural disasters of agriculture continues to decline. After 2003, the area of ​​crops and disasters showed a significant fluctuations. In the past two years, the disaster rate remained below 12%, and the disaster rate remained below 5%. Prevention and treatment of insects and improve production conditions. Coupled with the improvement of the quality of the entire land, increased the amount of sowing, and increase the bottom fertilizer, it will reduce the impact of late broadcasting. This year's total summer grain output was 147.39 million tons (294.8 billion kg), an increase of 1.434 million tons (2.87 billion kg) from the previous year, an increase of 1%year -on -year; the production of summer grain per mu was 370.4 kg, an increase of 2.3 kg over the previous year. Not only does summer grain increase production, but the quality of wheat is significantly better than last year. According to the monitoring of the State Food and Material Reserve Bureau, more than 90 % of wheat in the second primary area of ​​the main producing area. Agricultural conditions also showed that the proportion of high -quality wheat in the country reached 38.5 %, an increase of 1.2 percentage points over the previous year.

This year, the central government arranged funds to subsidize 109.6 billion yuan to continue to build a new 100 million acres of high -standard farmland. As of now, the Central Finance has allocated 40 billion yuan of agricultural capital subsidies in three batches in the key links of spring plowing in March, the May of May, and the autumn harvest of August. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has launched more than 350,000 grass -roots agricultural technicians to make full use of various methods to carry out technical guidance and training of disaster prevention and mitigation, and strive to go all out to seize the harvest of autumn grain. Looking forward to autumn grain and the overall grain harvest of the year, my country's food will continue to stabilize high yields, and grain production will increase high. The annual grain production is expected to continue to maintain more than 1.3 trillion kg. The production of fruits and vegetables is stable and good, the supply of animal and aquatic products is stable, and the food inventory is sufficient.

Since the beginning of this year, international food prices have experienced several great fluctuations. At the beginning of the year, due to the influence of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, the international food prices rose sharply, and various factors such as overlay trade restrictions, frequent climate frequently, and rising energy prices helped to the flames, which exacerbated the contradiction between supply and demand and further increased the risk of global grain crisis, but for my country's food The impact of safety is less. Thanks to the state's subsidies for agricultural production and a complete grain reserve system, my country's main grains can basically maintain self -production, and have limited influence due to overseas prices. In June, as global currency tightening inhibited the rise in food prices, and global food supply gradually became optimistic, global food prices fell sharply. For our country, this is another opportunity to expand the import of food, adjust the domestic food supply, and enrich food reserves. Under the guidance of "absolutely safe rations and basic self -sufficient grains", regardless of whether international grain prices are falling or rising, my country can rely on the hard power of its own grain reserves to seize opportunities, cope with challenges, and maintain domestic food security.
