The Chinese people’s rice bowl must be firmly in their own hands. After all, China is so big. Now the country’s food security policy should be gradually improved in terms of policy, but the key is how to unblock the channels for policy implementation. Let the policy be better implemented.
[Explanation] Since 2004, China's grain production has achieved a bumper harvest for 16 consecutive years. From 430.7 million tons in 2003 to 663.8 million tons in 2019, it has reached a 200 million-ton level.
Since 2015, the grain production capacity has stabilized at a level of over 6.5 billion tons.
The Chinese people's job is firmly in their own hands, playing a "ballast stone" role for China's economic and social development.

From the perspective of food security, it is to strengthen the construction of two capacities based on the domestic supply, one is the construction of domestic supply guarantee capacity, and the other is the construction of reserve control capacity. The supply guarantee capacity is nothing more than our base in the country, we must concentrate resources to ensure Our grains are basically self-sufficient, and our rations are absolutely safe. How can we store our grains on the ground? That is to say, while ensuring the production of our rice, wheat and other rations, we can ensure ecological security and sustainable use of arable land resources.
In addition, it is to store food in technology, which means that in the future, under the background of resource constraints such as more people and less land, our food will be basically self-sufficient. Perhaps the fundamental way out for basic self-sufficiency lies in technology.
[Explanation] In the exhibition hall, the digital exhibition area of the whole industry chain has attracted everyone's attention. There are many advanced equipment based on 5G, Internet +, artificial intelligence and other technical support.
Technological innovations such as digital warehousing and smart grain depots provide strong momentum for high-quality development of enterprises, and also provide strong support for ensuring national food security.

In the food industry, we are actively promoting such measures to ensure our food security through modern and intelligent means.
In the past, food was mainly managed by humans. If we were managed by humans, because we were large in scale and large in size, and then the personnel were very scattered, this would be a big difficulty for the upper management. But now We are different, that is, we have technological means to ensure that the flow of our grain out of the warehouse can be traced to us, and the quality and quantity of the grain in the warehouse can be controlled.
[Concurrent] Yin Mengchen, representative of Jilin exhibitors
We are engaged in food work. We will control food security very well. First of all, we strictly follow the requirements of grain circulation quality in the process of production, purchase and sale. Each batch of grain is in accordance with the requirements after leaving the factory. We all go for food quality certification, and in the production and processing links, we are very serious about implementing them in accordance with the requirements.
[Explanation] The reporter learned that during the 3rd China Grain Trade Conference, there will also be a number of forum activities such as the Grain Production and Marketing Cooperation Forum and the Grain Industry Digitalization Forum.
The organizers also hope that through the holding of the conference, to strengthen cooperation in grain production and marketing, promote the high-quality development of the grain industry, improve the country's ability to guarantee food security, and gather wisdom from many sources for building a strong grain industry and stabilizing food security.
