The latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics shows that in 2024, the total grain output in Heilongjiang Province will reach 160.34 billion kilograms. Wang Qian, Deputy Director of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department of Heilongjiang Province, introduced that this year, Heilongjiang Province has achieved "21 consecutive harvests" in grain production, with the total grain output exceeding 160 billion catties for the first time, and the total output has remained stable at over 150 billion catties for 7 consecutive years, ranking first in the country for 15 consecutive years. This year, our cooperative has achieved a bumper harvest of 12000 acres of rice, with an average yield of over 1200 kilograms per acre Li Yucheng, the chairman of Yucheng Modern Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative in Huachuan County, excitedly said that this is due to the cooperative's continuous three-year grid transformation, which has increased the effective planting area and facilitated the use of large-scale agricultural machinery. This is just a microcosm of the construction of high standard farmland in Heilongjiang Province. Over 120 million acres of high standard farmland have been built in the province, providing strong support for stable and high grain production. Heilongjiang Province has taken multiple measures to protect black soil. During this autumn harvest season, in the farmland of Shujun Grain Professional Cooperative in Bin County, land preparation work was carried out immediately after harvesting. This year, more than 8000 acres of land were planted, and the highest yield of corn per acre reached over 2200 kilograms, an increase of 20% compared to last year, "said Tian Shujun, the chairman of the cooperative." Autumn land preparation "is one of the secrets to increasing production. The finance department of Heilongjiang Province allocates 300 million yuan annually for seed industry innovation and development to support the revitalization and development of the seed industry. Since the beginning of this year, a total of 1710 new crop varieties have been approved and promoted in the province, with an annual production of 2.8 billion kilograms of high-quality crop varieties. In the laboratory of the Soybean Research Institute of Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, researchers are busy identifying breeding materials collected in the field. We need to identify and analyze the performance of soybean plants at various growth stages, and record them one by one. This is like a report card, determining whether this breeding material can become a variety, "said Liu Xinlei, director of the Breeding Research Office at the Soybean Research Institute. Heilongjiang Province continuously improves the level of agricultural machinery and equipment, efficiently assisting in the four aspects of crop cultivation, management, and harvesting. The comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting in Heilongjiang Province has reached 99.07%, ranking first in the country. At the same time, this province has also promoted advanced agricultural technologies such as water fertilizer integration and large ridge dense planting, effectively improving crop yields. China continues to enhance its comprehensive grain production capacity to ensure stable and secure supply of grain and important agricultural products Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that achieving another bumper harvest has profound significance for maintaining national food security, ensuring that the self-sufficiency rate of key agricultural products remains at a reasonable level and effectively resisting fluctuations in the international food market.
