The main indicators such as grain yield, per capita grain share, and grain sowing area have all improved - Five sets of data show the stability of "China's rice bowl"

2023-09-14

This year, more than 50000 acres of corn replanted in Shuitou Town, Xia County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province have grown unprecedentedly. The picture shows villagers driving a corn combine harvester to harvest corn in the field on August 30th. On September 6th, in Guichi Village, Shuanglong Township, Pengshui Miao and Tujia Autonomous County, Chongqing, Zhang Xiufeng (People's Photo), villagers were making full use of the sunny weather to seize agricultural time and organize harvesters to harvest rice to ensure that the particles were returned to the warehouse. Zhao Yong (People's photo): Extreme weather disruptions to global agricultural production, impact on grain production in major food producing countries, restrictions on rice exports in India and other countries... Recently, concerns about food security have spread globally. How does China ensure food security? On September 5th, the State Council released a report on ensuring national food security (hereinafter referred to as the "report") to the public. This report on the "Chinese rice bowl" comprehensively and systematically sorts out data on grain production and consumption, providing "reassurance" to the people. Improvement of Comprehensive Grain Production Capacity ■ In 2022, the grain output was 1373.1 billion kilograms, with a grain yield of 386.8 kilograms per mu, an increase of 49.8 billion kilograms and 13 kilograms respectively compared to five years ago. ■ In 2022, China's per capita grain share reached 486.1 kilograms, which is higher than the internationally recognized food security line of 400 kilograms. The level of grain security is directly measured by output. Let's take a look at the first set of data - the report shows that China's grain production has remained stable at over 1.3 trillion kilograms for 8 consecutive years. In 2022, the grain production was 1373.1 billion kilograms, with a grain yield of 386.8 kilograms per mu, an increase of 49.8 billion kilograms and 13 kilograms respectively compared to 5 years ago. This set of data conveys two key messages, one is a leap in production capacity, and the other is a high level increase in production. "Cao Hui, a researcher at the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in terms of production capacity, China's grain production reached over 1.2 trillion kilograms in 2012 and reached a new level of 1.3 trillion kilograms in 2015, and has been maintaining stable performance. This enhances the confidence of China's grain production to produce and supply when needed. From a specific production perspective, China's grain production has consistently ranked first in the world in recent years, reaching a new historical high of 1373.1 billion kilograms in 2022. It is not easy to achieve this yield increase despite years of increased production and a high starting point in the early stages, which highlights China's effectiveness in ensuring food security. Farmers have a direct perception of the improvement of grain production capacity. In the early years, it was already amazing that one acre of land could produce around 1000 kilograms of grain per year. Now, our annual yield here exceeds 2000 kilograms. Last year, the yield of one crop of wheat and one crop of corn on many plots has reached over 3000 kilograms per mu, which shows us the beginning of grain cultivation, "said Wei Dedong, a farmer in Linyi County, Dezhou City, Shandong Province. Cao Hui analyzed that in recent years, while stabilizing the grain planting area, many places have accelerated the improvement of grain yield per unit area, which has provided strong support for enhancing the ability to ensure food security. According to the report, the grain yield per mu has increased by about 3.5% in the past five years, with a significant increase in the yield levels of wheat and corn among the three major rations. The two have increased by 24.8 kilograms and 21.7 kilograms per mu respectively compared to five years ago, with an increase of 6.8% and 5.3%.
