China News Service, Changsha, January 24 (Reporter Deng Xia) According to data released by the Hunan Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics on the 24th, the total grain output in Hunan in 2021 will be 30.744 million tons, an increase of 592,000 tons or 2.0% over the previous year. A six-year high.
Among them, the output of summer grain was 452,000 tons, an increase of 4.7%; the output of early rice was 7.438 million tons, an increase of 3.5%; the output of autumn grain was 22.854 million tons, an increase of 1.4%.
According to an analysis by the Hunan Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics, the bumper harvest of grain production in Hunan is due to factors such as the continuous increase in planting area, the potential for increasing unit yields, and adequate policy and mechanism guarantees.
According to reports, the party committees, governments and relevant departments at all levels in Hunan have consolidated their responsibility for grain production, resolutely curbed the "non-agriculturalization" of arable land, prevented "non-grain transformation", adjusted the planting structure, increased efforts to eliminate waste, and stabilized the area of grain.
In 2021, the province's grain sown area will be 71.376 million mu, an increase of 54,000 mu or 0.1% over the previous year, an increase for two consecutive years.
At the same time, Hunan has deeply implemented the strategy of "holding grain in the land and storing grain in technology", strengthening the scientific and technological innovation of the seed industry, the protection and utilization of germplasm resources, and the construction of farmland water conservancy facilities. The potential for improving the level of grain yield per unit increases.
Coupled with better climatic conditions, the grain yield per mu has increased over the previous year.
In 2021, the province's grain yield per mu will be 430.7 kilograms, an increase of 8.0 kilograms or 1.9% over the previous year.
In addition, Hunan has also effectively implemented the party and government responsibilities for food security, strengthened the construction of farmland water conservancy facilities, and deepened the structural reform of the agricultural supply side.
Hunan produces 4.5% of the country's grain with 2.8% of the country's arable land, achieving both growth in grain output and planting area, contributing "Hunan strength" to national food security.
