"From the perspective of China's food security situation, my country's food security situation is good, and food security is guaranteed. A good food security situation is mainly reflected in high output, stable supply, and sufficient reserves. Grain production has been "seventeen consecutive harvests." ', the country's total grain output has stabilized at more than 1.3 trillion catties for six consecutive years, and the rations are completely self-sufficient. At the same time, the per capita grain occupancy is more than 470 kilograms, far higher than the international average of 400 kilograms." Liang Yan said.
Liang Yan introduced that for many years, our food market has been abundant, not out of stock, and constantly on file. Even at the worst of the epidemic, our food market supply was stable at sufficient prices, and the people had nothing to worry about.
At the same time, our country's grain inventory reserves are sufficient. While stabilizing the scale of the central reserve, the country will increase the size of local grain reserves in accordance with the market demand in the production area for 3 months, the sales area for 6 months, and the production and sales balance area for 4.5 months.
Liang Yan introduced that the amount of policy-based inventory formed by the minimum purchase price and temporary purchasing and storage policies is also very considerable.
The stocks of rice and wheat can meet the market demand for more than one year, and 36 large and medium-sized cities have more than 15 days of market demand reserves for finished rice and noodles.
"Of course, we are also soberly aware that although our food situation is good and national food security is guaranteed, the string of national food security still cannot be relaxed." Liang Yan said, because in the medium and long term, Our food supply and demand will still be in a tight balance, especially in the face of the complex international situation, the continuous growth of domestic food demand, the shortage of land and water, and the number of people, the relatively low efficiency of growing food, and the fact that food is prone to some natural disasters. Sexual contradictions are more prominent and there are potential risks and hidden dangers, and the string of ensuring national food security cannot be relaxed for a moment.
In response to the question of "what are the arrangements for ensuring food security," Liang Yan pointed out that in ensuring food security, the first is to strengthen food production security.
To ensure that grain production continues to stabilize at 650 million tons, that is, more than 1.3 trillion catties, this is also a security-related binding indicator that must be implemented.
The second is to strengthen reserve security.
Give full play to the role of "ballast stone" and "have food in your hands and not panic in your heart." This is the truth at all times.
The third is to strengthen the safety of circulation and smooth all links of grain production, purchase, storage, and sales. It is also a problem that grain cannot be shipped out, so circulation is also a very important link.
The fourth is to strengthen industrial support.
Improve the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the overall food industry, and provide strong industrial support for national food security.
The fifth is to strengthen the construction of facilities.
Consolidate the foundation of food security, including the "14th Five-Year Plan", which has specific provisions for grain storage facility projects, green storage upgrade projects, and logistics hub projects.
"During the '14th Five-Year Plan' period, we will follow the requirements of the Party Central Committee and the overall deployment of the '14th Five-Year Plan' to further strengthen food security safeguards in all aspects, so that the Chinese people's rice bowl will be firmly in our hands. The main thing in the bowl is Chinese grain, which gives our country a higher and higher level of food security.” Liang Yan said.
