Right now, autumn grain procurement across the country has entered its peak period. The National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration. 12 Moon 18 Daily data released show that, as of now, the cumulative procurement of autumn grains by various grain entities across the country has exceeded... 1.6 100 million tons, with an average daily procurement volume reaching 200 Over 10,000 tons, the procurement pace is faster than the same period last year, safeguarding farmers. “ Grain can be sold at a good price. ” Bottom line.

Autumn grain procurement across various regions has entered its peak period.

According to data from the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, the total amount of autumn grain purchased by various grain entities nationwide has now exceeded— 1.6 100 million tons, an increase of approximately... compared to the same period last year. 10% ; The average daily acquisition volume reaches 200 Over 10,000 tons, with acquisition progress faster than the same period last year.

By variety, mid-to-late rice procurement. 7000 Ten thousand tons, among which Henan, Jiangsu, Heilongjiang, and Anhui provinces have collectively purchased more than the minimum procurement price for mid-to-late-season rice. 400 Ten thousand tons—the policy’s bottom-supporting role has been effectively utilized. Corn procurement. 9000 Ten thousand tons, with the Northeast region exceeding... 5000 Ten thousand tons. Farmers are selling their grain smoothly, enterprises are actively purchasing grain, market buying and selling activities are becoming more vigorous, and the overall market operation remains stable.

Grain not only needs to be grown well but also stored properly. In recent years, with the rapid development of modern agriculture, China’s grain-storage methods have been shifting toward refined management. A relevant official from the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration stated that... “ 14th Five-Year Plan ” Since then, various regions have actively promoted the construction of high-standard grain storage facilities and the upgrading and renovation of existing warehouses, significantly improving key performance indicators such as airtightness and thermal insulation of grain storage facilities.

As of now, the nationwide capacity of low- and sub-zero temperature grain storage facilities has exceeded... 2 100 million tons, storage capacity utilizing controlled-atmosphere grain storage technology 5500 10,000 tons. Currently, the comprehensive loss rate during the storage period in state-owned grain depots is controlled at... 1% Within this framework, local areas are fully leveraging the role of post-harvest grain service centers, strengthening technical guidance and services for farmers on scientific grain storage practices, thereby helping farmers reduce losses and increase income. Recently... 10 In recent years, the rate of grain loss among farmers has decreased by approximately... 5 percentage point.

In addition, this year the state continues to implement the minimum purchase price policy in major rice-producing areas. The China National Grain Reserve Corporation has successively activated its pre-plans for implementing the minimum purchase price for mid- and late-season rice in eligible regions across the four provinces of Henan, Jiangsu, Heilongjiang, and Anhui. Currently, the China National Grain Reserve Corporation has announced the designated storage locations for purchasing rice at the minimum support price. 217 One, daily inbound capacity exceeds 17 Ten thousand tons—acquisition proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.

Various support policies are taking effect and yielding results.

2024 This year, China has once again achieved a bumper harvest of grain, with grain production reaching... 1.41 Trillion 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 one trillion jin, it has taken the first step onto... 1.4 A new milestone of one trillion jin. Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics and head of the Department of Comprehensive National Economic Statistics, stated that various supportive policies have taken effect and yielded significant results, helping to ensure another bumper harvest of grain this year.

This year, China has introduced a series of policies aimed at strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers, and enriching rural areas. These policies include continuing to raise the minimum procurement prices for wheat and early-maturing indica rice, maintaining subsidies for protecting arable land fertility, producer subsidies for corn and soybeans, and rice subsidies. Additionally, the scope of fully cost-based insurance and income insurance for crop production will be expanded. Mechanisms for ensuring stable supply and prices of agricultural inputs will be refined, and systems for safeguarding farmers’ incomes from grain production will be improved. Through a combination of these measures, farmers’ enthusiasm for grain cultivation will be boosted, and the area planted with grains will remain stable. 2024 This year, the nationwide area sown with grain reached 17.9 Hundred million mu, an increase over the previous year. 0.3% , consecutive 5 Maintains growth annually.

Meanwhile, implementation is being carried out in various regions. “ Store grain in the land, store grain in technology. ” Strategically promote the construction of high-standard farmland and initiatives to significantly boost per-unit yields of major crops such as grains and oilseeds. Also, popularize practices like reasonable plant density increases and integrated water-fertilizer management. “ One spray, three protections “” One spray, multiple promotions ” These technologies effectively boost grain yield per unit area. Moreover, throughout this year, most agricultural regions have experienced generally favorable weather conditions, with a good match of sunlight, temperature, and water. 2024 The national grain yield per mu reached... 394.7 Kilograms, an increase compared to the previous year. 1.3% The contribution rate of yield increase to the growth in grain production exceeds... 80%。

In implementing responsibilities for grain production, localities have stepped up their support for grain production. 2024 Year, nationwide 31 Among the provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) there is... 26 The increase in production, especially the significant boost in major grain-producing areas, fully demonstrates... ‘ We share the rice bowl together and shoulder responsibilities together. ’ The requirements. ” Fu Linghui said.

Enhance the capacity to ensure agricultural product supply.

How has grain production reached a new high? “ Looking at cultivated land, this year’s grain sowing area has increased compared to last year. 525.8 Ten thousand mu, and the pace of improving cultivated land quality is accelerating. The renovation of agricultural infrastructure is steadily advancing, and the central government has raised its subsidy standards for the construction of high-standard farmland. From the perspective of agricultural science and technology, this year the contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress has exceeded... 63% The development of full-process mechanization in grain production has reached a new high. We are implementing large-scale initiatives to boost the yield of major crops such as grains and oilseeds, thereby ensuring increased grain production. ” Zhong Yu, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

“ Overall, despite relatively severe natural disasters in some local areas this year, thanks to the concerted efforts of the entire country, grain production achieved another bumper harvest for the year, reaching a new milestone. This has laid a solid foundation for ensuring national food security and promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. ” Fu Linghui said.

Recently, the Central Rural Work Conference was held in Beijing, focusing on... 2025 Year “ Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers ” Specific deployment and arrangements have been made to ensure the successful implementation of grain production and stabilize... “ China's rice bowl ” The direction has been clarified.

Cheng Guoqiang, a professor at Renmin University of China and director of the National Institute for Food Security Strategy, stated that the Central Rural Work Conference called for... “ Strictly manage the balance between cultivated land occupation and replenishment, and establish a monitoring system for the intended use of cultivated land. ” This helps ensure that the total amount of cultivated land does not decrease and its quality does not decline, and firmly curbs the encroachment on cultivated land. “ De-agriculturalization ” Prevent “ Non-grainization ” Ensure that cultivated land is primarily used for food production.

“ For agriculture to be strong, the capacity to ensure the supply of food and other important agricultural products must also be strong. ” Zhu Juan, Director of the Agricultural Situation Information Division of the Crop Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, stated that as China continues to achieve new breakthroughs in grain production, the difficulty of attaining further leaps is also increasing. The next step will be to launch a new round of initiatives aimed at boosting grain production capacity by 100 billion jin, vigorously develop new agricultural productivity, and implement large-scale yield-enhancement programs for major crops such as grains and oilseeds, thereby continuously consolidating and enhancing grain production capacity and ensuring food security. 14 The livelihoods of over 1.4 billion Chinese people.

A relevant official from the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration stated that they will strengthen the coordinated organization of grain procurement, earnestly promote market-oriented procurement and policy-based storage, guide diverse entities to actively enter the market, and enhance the vitality of market buying and selling.
