2024 In the past year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, all regions and departments have rigorously implemented their responsibilities for protecting arable land and ensuring food security. Despite facing adverse impacts such as relatively severe natural disasters, they have continued to focus on grain production, achieving another bumper harvest for the year. 2024 Annual total grain production nationwide 14130 Hundred million jin, an increase over the previous year. 221.8 Hundred million jin, growth 1.6% , continuously 9 Stabilized annually at 1.3 On the basis of exceeding one trillion jin, it has for the first time stepped onto... 1.4 A new milestone of one trillion jin.

I. Increased area planted with grain crops 525.8 Ten thousand mu, growth 0.3%

2024 This year, the central government has continued to intensify its support for grain production by further raising the minimum procurement prices for wheat and early-season indica rice, stabilizing subsidies for farmland fertility protection, as well as subsidies for corn and soybean producers and rice growers. The scope of implementation of full-cost insurance and crop income insurance policies has been expanded, and mechanisms for ensuring stable supply and prices of agricultural inputs have been refined. These multifaceted measures are aimed at boosting farmers’ enthusiasm for grain cultivation. Localities have rigorously implemented the principle of joint responsibility between Party and government for food security, strengthened protection of arable land and control over land use, promoted comprehensive land remediation, expanded the area planted with second-crop grains, and fully tapped the potential for increasing grain acreage. Nationwide, the area sown with grain crops has... 17.90 Hundred million mu, an increase over the previous year. 525.8 Ten thousand mu, growth 0.3% , consecutive 5 Maintains growth annually.

As a result, the soybean planting area has remained stable for three consecutive years. 1.5 Over 100 million mu. Nationally, the sown area of tuber crops. 1.06 Hundred million mu, a decrease from the previous year. 13.4 Ten thousand mu, decline 0.1% 。

II. Increased grain yield per mu 5.1 Kilograms, growth 1.3%

2024 This year, despite localized disasters such as floods, droughts, and typhoons, most agricultural regions across the country have experienced favorable matches among sunlight, temperature, and water availability. Overall, meteorological conditions have been conducive to the growth, development, and yield formation of grain crops. Localities have continued to advance the construction of high-standard farmland, improving agricultural production conditions, and have deeply promoted initiatives aimed at significantly boosting yields of major crops such as grains and oilseeds. They have also widely adopted practices including reasonable plant density increases and integrated water-fertilizer management. Technologies such as “one spray for three protections” and “one spray for multiple boosts” effectively enhance grain yield per unit area. National grain yield per unit area. 394.7 kilogram / mu, yield per mu increased compared to the previous year. 5.1 Kilograms, growth 1.3% 。

(1) The yields of rice, wheat, and corn have all increased. 2024 Year, national grain yield per unit area 432.9 kilogram / mu, yield per mu increased compared to the previous year. 4.9 Kilograms, growth 1.2% Among them, the yield per unit area of rice grains 477.0 kilogram / mu, an increase compared to the previous year 1.2 Kilograms, growth 0.3% ; Last year's wheat harvest was severely affected. The “bad-weather rain” has led to a decline in yield per unit area; however, this year we’ve achieved recovery growth, with wheat yields per unit area... 396.0 kilogram / mu, an increase compared to the previous year 10.6 Kilograms, growth 2.7% ; Corn yield per unit area 439.4 kilogram / mu, an increase compared to the previous year 4.0 Kilograms, growth 0.9% 。

(2) Yields of legumes and tubers have increased. 2024 Year, national average yield of legumes 133.2 kilogram / mu, yield per mu increased compared to the previous year. 0.7 Kilograms, growth 0.5% Among them, soybean yield per unit area 133.3 kilogram / mu, an increase compared to the previous year 0.7 Kilograms, growth 0.5% National per-unit yield of tubers 289.7 kilogram / mu, an increase compared to the previous year 4.6 Kilograms, growth 1.6% 。

III. Total grain production increased. 221.8 Hundred million jin, growth 1.6%

2024 Year, national summer grain production 2997.8 Hundred million jin, an increase over the previous year. 74.8 Hundred million jin; early rice yield 563.5 100 million jin, slightly down from the previous year. 3.3 Hundred million jin. The nationwide sown area of autumn grains has remained stable with a slight increase. Although some local areas have been affected by disasters resulting in reduced autumn grain yields, most agricultural regions have experienced relatively mild damage, leading to an overall increase in autumn grain production. Coupled with adjustments in planting structures—particularly the significant expansion of corn acreage, a high-yield crop—the total autumn grain output has risen. Nationwide autumn grain production... 10568.7 Hundred million jin, an increase over the previous year. 150.3 Hundred million jin, growth 1.4% Total grain production for the year 14130.0 Hundred million jin, an increase over the previous year. 221.8 Hundred million jin, growth 1.6% 。
