On December 16th, the latest data released by the Guangdong Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in 2024, the total grain output in Guangdong Province was 13.134 million tons, an increase of 282000 tons or 2.2% compared to 2023. In 2024, Guangdong Province will have a bountiful harvest of grain, laying a solid foundation for the implementation of the "Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, and Ten Thousand Villages High Quality Development Project", and providing strong support for consolidating and enhancing the positive trend of economic recovery and continuously promoting high-quality development. The sowing area has increased by 109000 mu. This year, Guangdong has strengthened the protection and use control of arable land, and taken multiple measures to improve farmers' enthusiasm for planting grain. The total area of grain sowing for the year was 33.551 million mu, an increase of 109000 mu or 0.3% compared to the previous year. By season, the area of grain crops has increased in all three seasons. The area of spring grain (corresponding to the national summer grain) was 2.253 million mu, an increase of 40000 mu or 1.8% compared to the previous year; The area of early rice was 13.045 million mu, an increase of 56000 mu or 0.4% compared to the previous year; The autumn grain area was 18.254 million mu, an increase of 13000 mu, or 0.1%. By variety, the area of rice, sweet potato, and soybean has increased, while the area of corn has decreased. The rice area was 27.526 million mu, an increase of 112000 mu or 0.4% compared to the previous year; The sweet potato area was 2.671 million mu, an increase of 20000 mu or 0.7% compared to the previous year; The soybean area was 542000 mu, an increase of 4000 mu or 0.8% compared to the previous year; The corn area was 1.997 million mu, a decrease of 14000 mu or 0.7% from the previous year. By 2024, the province will comprehensively implement the action of increasing the yield of grain and oil crops on a large scale, vigorously promote high-yield and high-quality varieties, implement reasonable close planting and "one spray, multiple promotion" technologies according to local conditions, accelerate the promotion of agricultural socialized service projects, strengthen agricultural disaster prevention and control, and comprehensively assist in the improvement of grain yield. The annual grain yield was 391.5 kilograms per mu, an increase of 7.2 kilograms per mu or 1.9% compared to the previous year. By season, the yield of spring and early rice has decreased, while the yield of autumn grain has increased. Some cities and counties are exploring the planting of small grain crops such as winter wheat, but due to insufficient planting experience, the yield is low. The yield of spring grain is 318.1 kg/mu, a decrease of 1.2 kg/mu from the previous year, a decrease of 0.4%; Affected by continuous heavy rainfall, the yield of early rice was 404.5 kg/mu, a decrease of 3.3 kg/mu or 0.8% from the previous year; The yield of autumn grain was 391.2 kg/mu, a recovery increase of 15.8 kg/mu, or 4.2%, based on the decrease in yield caused by typhoon disasters in the previous year. By variety, the yield of major grain crops has increased to varying degrees. The yield of rice per mu was 408.2 kilograms, an increase of 8.1 kilograms per mu or 2.0% compared to the previous year; The yield of sweet potatoes was 338.2 kg/mu, an increase of 4.0 kg/mu or 1.2% compared to the previous year; The yield of corn is 328.3 kg/mu, an increase of 2.7 kg/mu or 0.8% compared to the previous year; The soybean yield was 180.9 kg/mu, an increase of 1.6 kg/mu or 0.9% compared to the previous year. The total output increased by 282000 tons. In 2024, Guangdong's spring grain production was 717000 tons, an increase of 10000 tons or 1.4% compared to the previous year; The early rice yield was 5.277 million tons, a decrease of 20000 tons or 0.4% compared to the previous year; The autumn grain production was 7.141 million tons, an increase of 293000 tons or 4.3% compared to the previous year. The total grain output for the year was 13.134 million tons, an increase of 282000 tons or 2.2% compared to the previous year. Among the main grain crops, the output of rice was 11.236 million tons, an increase of 267000 tons or 2.4% compared to the previous year; Sweet potato production reached 903000 tons, an increase of 17000 tons or 1.9% compared to the previous year; The corn production was 656000 tons, an increase of 0.1 million tons or 0.1% compared to the previous year; The soybean production was 98000 tons, an increase of 2000 tons or 1.7% compared to the previous year.
