CCTV News: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has consolidated the foundation of food security in an all-round way, and the comprehensive agricultural production capacity has continued to improve.

At present, my country's total grain output ranks first in the world, and the Chinese people's rice bowl is firmly in their own hands.

　　In the past ten years, my country's grain production capacity has increased steadily. The output has stabilized at more than 1.3 trillion catties for seven consecutive years, and has reached a new level of 100 billion catties in ten years.

The per capita grain output reached 483.5 kilograms, which was higher than the internationally recognized grain safety line of 400 kilograms.

　　In the past ten years, agricultural infrastructure has been significantly improved. A total of 900 million mu of high-standard farmland has been built, and a number of modern irrigation areas have been built. The effective irrigation area of ​​farmland accounts for more than 54%, and the situation of relying on the weather has accelerated.

　　In the past ten years, the state has bred and released more than 950 leading varieties, which have been sown in areas with insufficient natural resource endowments.

A large number of high-quality varieties, such as saline-alkali-tolerant rice, lodging-resistant corn, and drought-tolerant wheat, have made every piece of land above the saline-alkali land, hills and mountains, and arid land have better output.

At present, the improved varieties of grain crops have basically achieved full coverage, and the area of ​​self-selected varieties accounts for more than 95%, so that China's grains mainly use Chinese seeds.

　　In the past ten years, more than 950,000 agricultural social organizations have been cultivated, with a service area of ​​nearly 1.7 billion mu, and services have driven more than 78 million small farmers.

The comprehensive mechanization level of crop cultivation and harvesting across the country has increased from 57% to over 72%, and the mechanization rates of the three major grain crops of rice, corn and wheat have exceeded 85%, 90% and 97% respectively.
