Pan Wenbo, director of the Planting Management Department, introduced that the area of ​​food in the summer of this year has increased steadily, reaching 398 million acres, an increase of 1.38 million mu over the previous year. The area of ​​summer grain continues to increase, which is the basis of the increase in Xia grain production.

Pan Wenbo revealed that the National Bureau of Statistics announced the production of food this year, reaching 294.78 billion kg, an increase of 2.87 billion kg over the previous year.

Summer grains mainly include winter wheat, summer spring wheat, miscellaneous grains, etc. Winter wheat decreased by 1.01 million acres due to the rare autumn flood area last year, but the northwest and other places tried to expand 1.77 million acres of spring wheat in summer, an increase of 23%, and achieved "make up for the spring". The southern region should expand 620,000 mu of beans and other miscellaneous beans such as broad bean, potato, etc., and achieved "supplementing wheat with miscellaneous".

He introduced that the yield of summer grain was increased exceeded expectations. This year, the yield of food in summer reached 370.4 kg, an increase of 2.3 kilograms from the previous year, of which the yield of wheat per mu was 394.2 kg, which increased by 2.9 kg. This is a new high on the basis of the three consecutive years of summer grain production. Especially last year, there were 110 million acres of winter wheat for more than half a month. The seedlings were weak before winter. In the combination of fist, wheat seedlings are like one day, the weather conditions are good after "Lixia", and measures such as "one spray and three defenses" have fallen. The grouting time is long, and the weight of wheat grains has increased significantly. Instead of decline in winter wheat, it has increased, and the increase in the increase in the production of summer grain production has reached 64%.

Pan Wenbo said that the summer wheat has contributed outstandingly, and summer harvest wheat is also an important part of summer grain. This year, more than 600,000 acres of cotton and other crops such as cotton and other crops in Xinjiang, and more than 400,000 acres of spring wheat in Gansu re -cultivating wasteland. According to the statistics of the Bureau of Statistics, the area of ​​summer harvest in summer this year reached 9.62 million mu, an increase of 1.77 million mu, an increase of 1.23 billion kg, and contributed to 43%of the increase in summer grain production.

He also said that most of the provinces in the province increased production, and there were 11 winter wheat producing provinces. These 11 provinces tried everything to resist waterlogging and stabilized the area. There are three provinces at first. In particular, the output of Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi, which are affected by autumn floods, are better than expected. The provinces with more production in summer grains are Anhui, Jiangsu, Xinjiang, Gansu, Hubei, Ningxia, Sichuan and Zhejiang.
