China News Agency, Zhengzhou, March 29 (Reporter Li Guigang) Since this month, many provinces in China have released the "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee" for 2022, and all have listed food security as a "top priority".

  In early March, Hunan Province, the main rice producing area, issued the "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee", proposing to firmly adhere to the "two bottom lines" of ensuring food security and the supply of important agricultural products and not returning to poverty on a large scale; in mid-March, Jiangxi The "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee" proposes to stabilize the sown area and output of grain, and the "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee" in Sichuan proposes to highlight food security, prevent large-scale return to poverty and protect cultivated land; on March 29, Henan, a major grain-producing province in China The "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee" issued also listed food security as a "top priority".

  The above-mentioned "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee" all put forward specific grain sown area and output.

Hunan Province proposes to ensure that the sown area of ​​grain is stable at more than 71.35 million mu and the output is more than 60 billion jin (1 jin is 500 grams, the same below) in 2022; Jiangxi Province proposes to ensure that the sown area of ​​grain is stable at more than 56.593 million mu and the output in 2022. Stabilized at more than 43.9 billion catties; Henan Province proposed to stabilize the grain sown area at more than 160 million mu in 2022, and the grain output at more than 130 billion catties.

  In China's total grain production, Henan's grain production occupies a pivotal position.

Since 2006, the total grain output of Henan Province exceeded 100 billion catties for the first time, and the "Zhongyuan Granary" has become more and more full and higher.

In 2021, the total grain output in Henan Province will be 130.884 billion catties, which has exceeded 130 billion catties for five consecutive years.

This also means that the province's total grain output has exceeded 100 billion catties for 16 consecutive years.

  From the above-mentioned "No. 1 Documents of the Provincial Party Committee" in 2022, it is not difficult to find that many provinces put food security in an important position, and even listed it as a "top priority" for local governments.

Among them, from the "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee" in Henan, it can be seen that the content of "stabilizing the area, stabilizing the output, stabilizing the policy, and the party and the government are responsible for food security", etc., it can be seen that this large grain-producing province pays enough attention to food security.

  When interpreting Henan's "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee", Song Huzhen, director of the Agricultural Office of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and director of the Henan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, emphasized the importance of "holding grain in the land" and "reserving grain in technology", and resolutely curb the "cultivation of arable land". It also proposed to support Shennong Seed Industry Laboratory to create a national laboratory and plan to build a "Central Plains Agricultural Valley".

  In 2021, Henan suffered a severe flood disaster, and autumn sowing in some grain-producing areas was affected.

The "No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee" specifically proposes post-disaster recovery and reconstruction and capacity building for disaster prevention and mitigation.

Among them, it also involves the restoration of high-standard farmland damaged by water and agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation.

  A reporter from China News Agency recently visited Hebi, Xinxiang and other severely affected areas in Henan and found that although the wheat was sown late due to the disaster, the wheat seedlings were better than expected.

Xu Weigang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an expert in wheat breeding, said in an interview with reporters, "Last year's floods delayed the planting of wheat, but we still have many technologies to make up for this problem. From the perspective of resisting natural disasters, we need to improve the quality of wheat. Disaster resilience or disaster avoidance capability.”

  Official data show that in 2022, the wheat sown area in Henan Province will continue to stabilize at more than 85 million mu.
