On August 20, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Yu Kangzhen stated at a press conference that at present, the planting of late rice across the country has ended, and the area of autumn grain has already landed. From the perspective of agricultural conditions, the area of autumn grain will increase steadily in 2020, and the growth is generally good. Although local droughts and floods were severe, all localities did their best to prevent and reduce agricultural disasters, and resume production after the disaster in a timely and effective manner, reducing disaster losses. Therefore, droughts and floods have not reversed the steady improvement in grain production this year. If there are no major disasters in the later period, the whole year will be a bumper year. In addition, the current grain stocks are still high, China's food security is fully guaranteed, and prices will remain basically stable.
