China News Service, Zhengzhou, December 3 (Reporter Liu Peng) "Central Plains Granary" Henan Province exposed the "grain love family foundation" on the 3rd: a food industry with a scale of over one trillion yuan (RMB, the same below) has been formed, stocking wheat energy Meet the consumption needs of residents in the province for one and a half years.

  Under the background of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the topic of food supply has attracted much attention from the public.

As one of the major grain-producing provinces in China, what is the situation of grain supply and demand in Henan and what measures have been taken to effectively ensure grain supply?

The Henan Provincial Government Information Office held a press conference on the 3rd to answer this question.

  Xu Fuyong, deputy director of the Henan Provincial Grain and Reserve Bureau, said in announcing the province’s grain situation that Henan’s annual grain sown area has remained above 160 million mu; the standard grain warehouse has a capacity of more than 95 million tons, ranking first in the country; it has become a grain and oil processing enterprise. There are more than 1,700 companies, and the total output value of the grain industry ranks among the top in the country.

  It is known that Henan's grain production capacity has exceeded 130 billion jin (city jin, the same below) for four consecutive years, and wheat has exceeded 70 billion jin for six consecutive years.

The grain consumption in Henan has been stable at 80-90 billion catties all year round. Compared with consumption, the grain output has a large surplus. The self-sufficiency rate of grain is over 100%, which can ensure that grains are basically self-sufficient and rations are absolutely safe.

  In recent years, with the diversification of food consumption, Henan Province’s food imports have grown from scratch, and purchases from outside the province have also increased. However, the two accounted for a very low proportion of food production. They are mainly used for ration adjustments and feed grains. .

As an important grain production base in the country, Henan annually transfers more than 60 billion jin of raw grains and finished products to other provinces. It is the country's largest wheat transfer province. The annual transfer volume is much greater than the transfer volume, which not only guarantees the entire province. The consumption of food rations has also strongly supported the country’s food security.

  Xu Fuyong introduced that Henan has sufficient grain stocks, especially wheat, which can meet the consumption needs of residents in the province for one and a half years.

In addition to government reserves, Henan Province also has a large-scale enterprise inventory and a large number of urban and rural residents to store grain. The social grain storage has a rich level, a balanced inventory structure, and a strong ability to ensure safety and prevent risks.

  Talking about the ability to guarantee food processing, Xu Fuyong said that Henan Province has formed a food industry with a scale of more than one trillion yuan around wheat, corn, rice and oilseeds and other related agricultural products.

Among them, the flour processing capacity and output rank first in the country, the annual output of industrialized steamed buns, dried noodles, and instant noodles all account for 1/3 of the country, and the annual output of quick-frozen food accounts for 2/3 of the country.

  With regard to the food emergency system, Henan Province has currently integrated 3,618 emergency supply companies of various types, realizing the full coverage of the food emergency network in urban and rural areas, and establishing a coordinated emergency response mechanism for raw grain reserves and commercial grain and flour stocks, which can ensure that the enterprise society Responsibility reserves and government reserves at all levels respond in sequence and seamlessly connect.
