[Commentary] A few days ago, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated that China ’s three major staple foods are completely self-sufficient, and there is no need to worry about shortages in food supplies or skyrocketing prices. On April 3, the reporter visited a number of grain processing, production and warehousing enterprises in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province.
On the morning of the same day, with the roar of the machine, the conveyor belt continued to load a bag of finished rice on the truck. The Nanliang Jingshan Grain Depot in Jiangxi Province, a national grain production county located on the outskirts of Nanchang, was undergoing orderly production.
The reporter learned that this grain depot belongs to the Nanchang National Grain Trading Center and integrates warehousing, processing, trade, logistics, and military grain supply. Its current production supply is still far from reaching full capacity.

We are now out of stock (stable) every day. Like we shipped 65 tons of rice to the market yesterday, there is no problem at all, and we have not yet reached full capacity, because my daily output is 200 tons, but 24 hours (operation).
[Commentary] Huang Yinta, Director of the Grain Control Division of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Nanchang City, told reporters that the stocks of grain and oil stocks at all provinces, municipalities and counties in Nanchang City are adequate and guaranteed. And with the resumption of production of grain and oil processing enterprises, the daily grain output is also considerable.

At present, with the improvement of the epidemic situation, the grain and oil processing enterprises in the city resume production, and the daily production capacity reaches more than 5,000 tons. The rice produced in one day can meet the city's consumption for four days.
[Explanation] In addition, during the epidemic prevention and control period, the Nanchang Agriculture and Rural Bureau also strengthened the monitoring and early warning forecast of the grain market, and the control of the grain and oil reserves at the municipal and county levels, and made all preparations for the grain emergency plan. To ensure sufficient supply of grain and oil, stable prices, stable production capacity and ample supply, it can effectively respond to the test of major natural disasters and emergencies.
