  The "Notice" states that all localities and departments should conscientiously implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, solidly promote the annual key tasks of the food security governor responsibility system, and ensure the smooth implementation of the national food security strategy.

  The "Notice" pointed out that 2020 is the year when a well-off society will be fully built and the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" will be completed. It is of special importance to stabilize the production and supply of important agricultural products such as grain to stabilize the overall situation of the economy and society. The people ’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government should improve their political positions, earnestly implement the overall national security concept and national food security strategy, fully understand the importance of implementing the food security governor ’s responsibility system, and further improve food production capacity, reserve capacity, and circulation capacity. Accelerate the construction of a higher-level, higher-quality, more efficient and more sustainable food security guarantee system to effectively guarantee national food security.

  The "Notice" emphasizes that all localities must adhere to the general tone of steady progress and earnestly implement the various responsibilities identified in the "Some Opinions of the State Council on Establishing and Improving the Responsibility System of the Governor of Food Security" (Guo Fa [2014] No. 69) On the basis, focus on the Central Economic Work Conference, the Central Rural Work Conference and the 2020 Central Document No. 1 on the decision-making and deployment of ensuring national food security, and highlight the implementation of key annual tasks in five aspects.

  First, enhance the comprehensive grain production capacity. All localities are required to strictly observe the arable land red line and the permanent basic farmland control line, strengthen the construction of high-standard farmland, accelerate the construction of farmland water conservancy, actively promote the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices, vigorously promote the promotion and application of major agricultural technologies, and develop various forms of moderate scale operations.

  The second is to keep the grain planting area and output basically stable. Emphasizing that grain production should take the lead, policy, area and output should be stable, the main grain production areas should give full play to their advantages, and the main sales area and the production and sales balance area should strengthen grain production to ensure that the annual grain area and output remain basically stable. Encourage qualified regions to resume double-season rice production, increase support for early rice production, do everything possible to increase the area of ​​early rice, and promote the return of double-season rice production. All localities are required to scientifically prevent and mitigate disasters, strengthen the monitoring of Spodoptera frugiperda, desert locusts and domestic locusts, resolutely curb the outbreak of disasters, and achieve a good harvest for food and food.

  The third is to strengthen the safety management of grain reserves. Emphasizing that all localities should conscientiously implement the “Several Opinions on Reforming and Improving System and Mechanism and Strengthening the Safety Management of Grain Reserves” issued by the Central Office and the State Council, optimize the regional layout and variety structure of local reserves, actively explore the establishment of corporate social responsibility reserves, and promote the formation of government reserves A new pattern that complements the corporate reserve function and is highly efficient and collaborative.

  The fourth is to do a good job in the food market and circulation. Deploy localities to make overall plans for policy acquisitions and market-oriented acquisitions, create conditions for various entities to conduct market-based acquisitions, and firmly adhere to the bottom line of "growing grains for sale". It is required to continuously improve the cooperation mechanism of grain production and marketing, strengthen the construction of grain logistics facilities at important nodes, implement in-depth quality grain projects, and accelerate the construction of a strong grain industry. At the same time, do a good job in food quality and safety supervision, and promote food saving and loss reduction.

  Fifth, strengthen grain emergency support capacity building. All localities are required to fully understand the importance and urgency of grain and oil supply guarantee during epidemic prevention and control, comprehensively strengthen the organization and leadership, improve the response guarantee mechanism, focus on grain source guarantee, ensure that grain and oil supply is not out of stock, and keep on file, to ensure stable market operation and prices stable. According to the recovery situation of live pig production, we will organize the feed grain "North Grain South Transport" through market-oriented means. Strengthen food statistics monitoring, early warning and information release. Improve the grain emergency plan, strengthen the construction, management and policy support of grain emergency outlets, improve the emergency processing capacity of grain and oil, increase the construction and maintenance of emergency facilities, and enhance the emergency support capability.

  The "Notice" requires that all localities place the protection of local food security in a more prominent and important position, and comprehensively strengthen the construction of food production, storage and circulation capacity.

  First, we must strengthen leadership and make overall plans. In accordance with the requirements of "focusing on key points, making up for shortcomings, and strengths and weaknesses", we will carefully formulate the work plan for implementing the responsibility system of the governor of food security in 2020, clarify the division of tasks and timetables, road maps, and invest the necessary human and material resources to ensure that all The key tasks are carefully implemented.

  Second, we must make overall plans and highlight the key points. Focus on the latest decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on food security, in accordance with the requirements of Guofa [2014] No. 69 document, earnestly carry out long-term and basic work related to food security, and strive to enhance the ability to prevent risks and the level of security.

  Third, we must adapt to local conditions and highlight characteristics. The main grain production areas should give full play to the advantages of grain production, build on the core area of ​​grain production, accelerate the construction of high-standard farmland, and highlight the key points of stabilizing grain production, steadily increasing grain production capacity, grain quality and safety, reforming grain storage and storage systems, and grain circulation supervision; The production-sales balance area should focus on building a batch of high-standard farmland that guarantees high yields and maintains droughts and floods, and effectively guarantees the basic self-sufficiency of grain; Grain management, grain supply and price stability, grain quality and safety, grain circulation supervision and other key points.

  Fourth, we must face the problem directly and seek practical results. Adhere to the problem-oriented, establish and improve a long-term mechanism for implementing the responsibility system of the provincial governor of food security and ensuring food security. It is necessary to be tougher, adopt a more resolute attitude and the most effective measures, do a good job of rectification of problems found in the assessment, and promote the implementation of various policies and measures of the food security governor responsibility system.
