China News Service, Hohhot, December 11 (Reporter Li Aiping Uyana) The Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region stated on the 11th that the total grain output in Inner Mongolia this year reached 73.28 billion catties, an increase of 230 million catties over the previous year, an increase of 0.3%. "17 Lianfeng" ranks 8th in the country, exceeding the goal of grain production assigned by the state to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
This data also means that the total grain output of Inner Mongolia has remained above 70 billion jin for three consecutive years.
Under the epidemic situation, how can Inner Mongolia's grain output achieve the "17 consecutive harvests"?
According to the official statement, during the critical period before spring planting, Inner Mongolia issued 14.6 billion yuan in corn, soybean, potato producer subsidies and arable land subsidies, of which 427 million yuan was added for potato production subsidies. Inner Mongolia's agricultural and pastoral departments actively released policies. The signal has stabilized farmers’ enthusiasm for production in the face of the adverse situation affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic and strengthened their confidence in growing grain and increasing income.
In addition, in terms of increasing support for food production, Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia implemented the "Rise of Potato Industry" plan and compiled the "Plan for the Rise of the Modern Potato Industry in Hulunbuir (2019-2022)"; Bayannaoer City Government issued "Ten Opinions on the Development of High-quality Wheat", Ordos City has allocated 10 million yuan to support the development of the miscellaneous grains and beans industry. These measures have also stimulated farmers' enthusiasm for farming to a certain extent and led to a bumper harvest in Inner Mongolia.
