By 2030, achieve a new grain production capacity of over 100 billion catties - comprehensively consolidate the foundation of national food security

2024-04-11   

The State Council recently issued the Action Plan for Increasing Grain Production Capacity by 100 Billion catties (2024-2030), proposing to achieve an additional grain production capacity of over 100 billion catties by 2030 and further enhance the comprehensive grain production capacity of the country; On the basis of strict protection of arable land, the sowing area of grain is stable at around 1.75 billion mu and the grain area is around 1.45 billion mu; The grain yield per mu has reached around 420 kilograms. The person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission stated that the "Plan" clarifies the guiding ideology, basic principles, main goals, key tasks, major projects, and guarantee measures for adding 100 billion kilograms of grain production capacity by 2030. It is an important policy document for guiding and promoting domestic grain production in the current and future periods. Strengthening the construction of grain production capacity and ensuring food security is the top priority of the country, and ensuring food security is an eternal issue. The person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, when interpreting the background of the implementation of the "Plan," said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's grain production has steadily increased, maintaining over 1.3 trillion kilograms for 9 consecutive years, and the per capita grain share has reached 493 kilograms. Overall, national food security is guaranteed. At the same time, it must also be noted that with the further tightening of natural resource and environmental constraints, the upgrading of residents' food consumption structure has driven sustained growth in food demand. The tight balance between food supply and demand will exist for a long time. In the future, the existing gap between production and demand may further expand, and it is necessary to further enhance food production capacity to effectively ensure national food security. How to implement a new round of action to increase grain production capacity by billions of kilograms? The person in charge said that we should solidly promote the storage of grain in the land and the storage of grain in technology, starting from arable land, water conservancy, seeds, agricultural machinery, fertilizers and pesticides, and cultivation technology, strengthen coordination and technological integration innovation, strengthen the construction of grain production capacity, vigorously develop moderate scale operation, improve the mechanism for ensuring the income of grain farmers and the compensation mechanism for the interests of main production areas, and take the path of increasing grain with improved infrastructure, strong technological support, and intensive, economical, and green conservation. Accelerate the implementation of policies, and various regions should seize the opportunity to grow good crops during the agricultural season. In Lingling District, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, busy rice transplanters can be seen everywhere as the temperature rises. It is understood that Lingling District has rewarded grain growers from multiple sources, actively encouraged, supported, and subsidized farmers to purchase agricultural grain machinery, effectively improving agricultural production efficiency. In Lingxianguan Village, Fujiaqiao Town, Lingling District, the grain grower Tang Zhongke has planted dozens of acres of rice this year compared to last year. "It is expected that all early rice transplanting can be completed by mid to late April," Tang Zhongke said. In Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, drones have transformed into "new agricultural tools", greatly improving the efficiency of field management. "At present, wheat is in the period of returning to green and jointing. Taking advantage of the sunny weather in these days, it is necessary to spray foliar fertilizer on the wheat in a timely manner." Zhang Xiaodan, director of the Agricultural Technology Promotion Center of Xiayi County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, said that the coverage rate of high-quality varieties in the local area has reached 100%, and the entire process of cultivation and harvesting has basically been mechanized. Optimizing the variety structure and regional layout to implement a new round of action to increase grain production capacity by billions of kilograms. We need to comprehensively consider the situation of grain supply and demand, regional natural resource conditions, and grain production foundation, adjust and optimize the structure and production layout of grain varieties, solidly promote green agricultural development, and focus on improving the quality of grain supply.
