China will take multiple measures to ensure that the grain production in 2024 remains above 1.3 trillion catties
2023-12-22
The Central Rural Work Conference emphasized the need to focus on the production of grain and important agricultural products, stabilize the planting area of grain, promote a large-scale increase in grain yield, consolidate the achievements of soybean planting expansion, explore the establishment of inter provincial horizontal benefit compensation mechanisms for grain production and sales areas, do a good job in agricultural disaster prevention, reduction and relief, and ensure that grain production remains above 1.3 trillion kilograms in 2024. In 2023, in the face of complex and severe domestic and international situations and frequent natural disasters, the national agricultural and rural system has made every effort to overcome difficulties and maintain a steady and positive momentum in the development of agriculture and rural areas. Various regions continue to increase support for grain production, effectively overcoming adverse factors such as rare "rotten rain" in the Yellow and Huai Rivers and severe flooding in the northeast of North China. The reporter learned from the recent National Conference of Directors of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs that in 2023, grain production will reach a new historical high, soybean production will double increase, self-sufficiency rate will continue to improve, and the supply of meat, eggs, milk, cotton oil sugar, fruits, vegetables, and fish will be sufficient, ensuring quality and safety. How to ensure the "rice bags" and "vegetable baskets" for over 1.4 billion people in 2024? Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Tang Renjian stated that in response to the frequent and severe agricultural disasters and the complex and severe external environment, it is necessary to adhere to the dual efforts of stabilizing the area and increasing the yield per unit area to ensure that the grain production remains stable at over 1.3 trillion kilograms; Solidly promote a new round of action to increase the production capacity of billions of kilograms of grain; Adhere to the establishment of a big agricultural and food perspective, build a diversified food supply system, continuously improve soybean oil production capacity and self-sufficiency rate, improve production capacity regulation mechanisms, stabilize animal husbandry and fishery production, and ensure effective supply at a higher level. Industry experts say that in the face of increasingly tight resource and environmental constraints, as well as higher requirements for stable production and supply, it is necessary to broaden our thinking and innovative methods, and focus on agricultural production with food security as the core. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the next step will be to focus on stabilizing grain, corn, and soybeans, continue to expand the area of rapeseed, and focus on improving yield per unit area. Efforts will be made to effectively increase the yield of major crops such as grain and oil on a large scale, continuously promote the production of soybean oil crops, and ensure that the soybean area remains stable at over 150 million mu next year. At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will focus on stabilizing the supply of "vegetable basket" products, optimizing the regulation mechanism of pig production capacity, promoting the balance of production and demand in the dairy industry, promoting the balanced supply of vegetables and fruits, accelerating the development of deep sea aquaculture, and strengthening the supervision of agricultural product quality and safety. The Central Rural Work Conference emphasized the need to strengthen the protection and construction of arable land, improve the "trinity" protection system of arable land quantity, quality, and ecology, prioritize the construction of high standard arable land in black soil areas, plain areas, and areas with water conservancy and irrigation conditions in Northeast China, and appropriately increase the level of investment subsidies. Support the construction of agricultural technology innovation platforms and accelerate the revitalization of the seed industry. The person in charge of relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs stated that it is necessary to systematically promote agricultural and rural scientific and technological innovation, highlight application orientation, optimize the agricultural and rural scientific and technological innovation system, organize scientific research forces from all aspects to focus on industrial bottlenecks, concentrate on tackling and joint operations, strengthen scientific research project management through innovative mechanisms, and steadily promote the industrialization of biological breeding. At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will vigorously improve the quality of arable land, carry out the third national soil survey, increase the investment level of high standard farmland, and coordinate the promotion of black soil
