China News Service, December 6th. According to the website of the National Bureau of Statistics, Wang Minghua, deputy director of the Rural Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, explained the situation of grain production on the 6th, and pointed out that the national grain production data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the total national grain output in 2021 1365.7 billion catties, an increase of 26.7 billion catties or 2.0% over the previous year, the annual grain output reached a new high and remained above 1.3 trillion catties for seven consecutive years.

Among them, the output of autumn grain was 1017.8 billion jin, an increase of 19.1 billion jin or 1.9% over the previous year.

The sown area of ​​grain increased by 12.95 million mu, an increase of 0.7%

　　In 2021, all localities will consolidate their grain production responsibilities, implement the most stringent farmland protection system, resolutely curb the “non-agriculturalization” of farmland and prevent “non-grainization”, further increase support for grain production, and support the reclamation of abandoned land. Develop winter fallow fields and increase farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain.

The sown area of ​​grain nationwide was 1.764 billion mu, an increase of 12.95 million mu or 0.7% over the previous year, achieving growth for two consecutive years.

　　The sown area of ​​maize and wheat increased, and the rice grains decreased slightly.

In 2021, the national grain sown area will be 1.503 billion mu, an increase of 33.2 million mu or 2.3% over the previous year.

Since last year, corn prices have risen sharply, planting benefits have improved, and farmers' willingness to plant corn has increased. The national corn planting area has reached 650 million mu, an increase of 30.9 million mu or 5.0% over the previous year.

Affected by favorable factors such as suitable soil moisture during the sowing period and increasing planting benefits, the wheat sown area was 354 million mu, an increase of 2.83 million mu or 0.8% over the previous year, reversing the downward trend of the area for four consecutive years.

The sown area of ​​rice was 449 million mu, a decrease of 2.31 million mu or 0.5% from the previous year.

　　The area of ​​beans has declined, and the area of ​​potatoes has increased steadily.

In 2021, the sown area of ​​beans nationwide will be 152 million mu, a decrease of 22.09 million mu or 12.7% from the previous year.

Among them, the sown area of ​​soybeans was 126 million mu, a decrease of 22 million mu or 14.8% from the previous year, mainly due to the lower income of soybeans compared with corn and the weakening of farmers' willingness to plant.

The sown area of ​​potatoes nationwide was 110 million mu, an increase of 1.84 million mu or 1.7% over the previous year.

Grain yield increased by 4.8 kg, an increase of 1.2%

　　In 2021, although extremely heavy rainfall in Henan and other places caused floods, some parts of northwestern Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia were staged droughts. During the autumn harvest period, continuous rainy weather occurred in northern China and the Huanghuaihai region, which had a certain impact on the autumn grain in some areas, but most of the main agricultural areas in the country The light, temperature and water are well matched during the time period, and the meteorological conditions are generally conducive to the growth and development of food crops and the formation of yields.

At the same time, the sown area of ​​corn, a high-yield crop, has been expanded to increase its share of grain crops, which has promoted an increase in grain yield.

A sample survey of actual grain production measurements shows that in 2021, the national grain crop yield is 387 kg/mu, an increase of 4.8 kg per mu over the previous year, an increase of 1.2%.

　　Yields per unit area of ​​wheat and rice increased, while corn decreased slightly.

In 2021, the national grain yield will be 421 kg/mu, and the yield per mu will increase by 1.4 kg or 0.3% over the previous year.

Among them, the rice yield per mu was 474 kg/mu, which was an increase of 4.6 kg per mu over the previous year, an increase of 1.0%; the wheat yield was 387 kg/mu, and the yield per mu was 4.6 kg or 1.2% more than the previous year.

Affected by flood disasters in the Huanghuaihai region such as Henan, the national corn yield was 419 kg/mu, and the yield per mu was 1.7 kg or 0.4% less than the previous year.

　　Yields of legumes declined, while potato yields increased slightly.

In 2021, the national bean yield is 129 kg/mu, and the yield per mu is 2.1 kg or 1.6% lower than the previous year.

Among them, the soybean yield was 130 kg/mu, and the yield per mu was 2.3 kg or 1.8% lower than the previous year.

The national tuber yield was 277 kg/mu, and the yield per mu was 0.5 kg or 0.2% higher than the previous year.

Total grain output increased by 26.7 billion catties, an increase of 2.0%

　　In 2021, the output of summer grain and early rice was 291.9 billion jin and 56 billion jin, an increase of 6.2 billion jin and 1.4 billion jin respectively over the previous year; the output of autumn grain was 1017.8 billion jin, an increase of 19.1 billion jin over the previous year.

The total grain output for the year reached 1365.7 billion catties, an increase of 26.7 billion catties over the previous year, an increase of 2.0%.

　　The output of rice, wheat, and corn has all increased.

In 2021, the national cereal output will be 1,265.5 billion catties, an increase of 32 billion catties or 2.6% over the previous year.

Among them, the output of rice was 425.7 billion jin, an increase of 2 billion jin over the previous year, an increase of 0.5%; the output of wheat was 273.9 billion jin, an increase of 5.4 billion jin over the previous year, an increase of 2.0%; the output of corn was 545.1 billion jin, an increase of 23.8 billion over the previous year Catties, an increase of 4.6%.

　　The output of beans has decreased significantly, and the output of potatoes has increased.

In 2021, the national output of beans will be 39.3 billion jin, a decrease of 6.4 billion jin or 14.1% over the previous year.

Among them, the soybean output was 32.8 billion jin, a decrease of 6.4 billion jin or 16.4% over the previous year.

The national potato output was 60.9 billion catties, an increase of 1.1 billion catties over the previous year, an increase of 1.9%.

　　The three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia contributed significantly to the increase in production.

Of the 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the country, 27 increased grain production.

Among them, the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia increased the total output by 18.8 billion catties, which contributed 70.3% to the increase in national grain production.

Xinjiang, Anhui, Hunan, Sichuan, and Shandong all increased production by more than 1 billion jin.

Affected by extremely heavy rainfall, Henan was severely affected, reducing production by 5.6 billion catties.

　　In 2021, there will be another bumper crop in the country. Grain output has stabilized at more than 1.3 trillion catties for seven consecutive years. This will provide strong support for ensuring the country’s food security, coping with the complex and volatile domestic and foreign situations, and overcoming various risks and challenges. The "Fourth Five-Year Plan" started well and started well, promoted high-quality economic and social development, and laid a solid foundation for building a new development pattern.
