Original title: "The rice bowl is mainly filled with Chinese grain" (the general secretary's concern for food security)

　　Food is the leader of the government, and grain is the life of the people.

General Secretary Xi Jinping Nian Zizai hereby said: "Guaranteeing the supply of primary products is a major strategic issue. The Chinese people's rice bowls must be firmly in their hands at all times, and the rice bowls mainly contain Chinese grains." Let others get stuck in our necks when it comes to basic survival issues." "There must be no slack in food security."

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has inspected and investigated time and time again.

"Can the crops be watered?" "Is there any interplanting of beans in the ground?" "Let's stop playing with flails." The homely words are meaningful and full of the general secretary's earnest expectation for the "Chinese rice bowl".

　　The earnest admonition to "firmly hold the initiative in food security" has turned into a practical action of "grain production should be carried out every year".

In 2021, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, we have overcome difficulties such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic, floods and natural disasters, and the total grain output will reach 1,365.7 billion catties, an increase of 26.7 billion catties over the previous year, and continue to stabilize at 1.3 trillion. on the steps.

　　Nowadays, from the land of Lingnan to the Northeast Plain, from the land of fish and rice to the south of the Yangtze River, the terraced fields are being irrigated, the arable land is being "upgraded", and the agricultural machinery is queuing up for maintenance.

　　This year is an important year for my country to embark on a new journey towards building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way and marching toward the second centenary goal.

Fighting the first battle of agricultural production in the spring, firmly maintaining the bottom line of food security, and dealing with the uncertainty of the external environment with the certainty of stable domestic production and supply, are of great importance for economic work to "take the lead and seek progress while maintaining stability". significance.

　　Stable output

　　Pick the "golden pole" for farming

　　Can you sit back and relax with a bumper crop year after year?

　　"For a large country like ours with a population of 1.4 billion, the basic status of agriculture cannot be ignored or weakened at any time. It is the truth at any time to have food in hand and not to panic."

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping thought of danger in peace, and stated that food security plays a pivotal role in national security.

　　To stabilize the granary, the output must be stabilized.

The goal of grain output in 2022 is to stabilize at more than 1.3 trillion catties.

　　How is the output stable?

Good seeds are the foundation.

　　"We must be determined to develop my country's seed industry, quickly cultivate excellent varieties with independent intellectual property rights, and ensure national food security from the source." On April 12, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when he inspected the National Nanfan Scientific Research and Breeding Base. .

　　"We keep in mind the general secretary's entrustment and redouble our efforts to cultivate high-yield and high-quality varieties." This year's Spring Festival, the team of Zhu Renshan, a professor at the School of Life Sciences of Wuhan University and an expert in rice breeding, spent another time in Nanfan. After the improvement of the 311' rice variety, it not only has the characteristics of resistance to rice blast and brown planthopper, but also increased the yield by 10%."

　　Good seeds settle in the fields.

In Bumo Village, Gancheng Town, Dongfang City, Hainan Province, in the demonstration field for screening new varieties of double-cropping rice in Hainan, varieties such as "Chaoyou Qianhao" and "Ton Liangyou" have entered the tillering stage.

　　"China's grains mainly use Chinese species".

Up to now, improved varieties of major crops in my country have basically achieved full coverage, with more than 95% of the area of ​​self-selected varieties, the self-sufficiency rate of rice and wheat, the two major ration crops, has reached 100%, and the contribution rate of improved varieties in agricultural production increase exceeds 45%.

　　Technology is the key to stabilizing production.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "We must give agriculture the wings of science and technology" and "let farmers master advanced agricultural technology and use the best technology to grow the best grain".

　　"We must take grain production as the primary task, and with the attitude of fighting against the water and extraordinary strength, we will resolutely win the tough battle to ensure a bumper grain harvest in summer, and strive to achieve a bumper grain harvest throughout the year." The main responsible comrades of the Central Agricultural Office and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Express.

　　This year’s spring ploughing is ready, and all regions are asking technology for yield.

Anhui Province deepened the "Science and Technology Commissioner +" action, and planted high-quality special varieties in a row; Jiangxi Province carried out centralized seedling raising to solve the problem of double-cropping rice and oil rice planting stubble, and actively broke through the bottleneck of rice production; Heilongjiang Province promoted high-horsepower high-end intelligent agricultural machinery , comprehensively carry out soil testing and formula fertilization, and increase the yield per unit of lading and increase the total output.

　　In the near future, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will organize agricultural science and technology forces at all levels to go deep into the fields, strengthen the integrated promotion of the green and high-yield model, give full play to the demonstration and driving role of thousand-mu squares and ten-thousand-mu slices, and promote centralized seedling raising, large ridges and dense planting, and simultaneous sowing of seed and fertilizer. The production increase measures have been implemented in the fields.

　　Looking at the vast fields, the combination of good seeds and good methods, agricultural machinery and agronomy cooperation, agriculture and technology are being deeply integrated.

Data shows that in 2021, the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting will exceed 72%, and the loss rate of the three major grains will be reduced by an average of 1 percentage point, ensuring food security is more confident.

　　stable area

　　Party and government share responsibility

　　Grain production is the top priority, and the key is to stabilize the planting area.

In the past, it was a south-to-north transfer of grains, but now it is a north-to-south transfer of grains, and grain production is facing new situations and new issues.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "Promoting the structural reform of the agricultural supply side does not mean that grain production can be ignored." Production areas, main sales areas, and production and sales balance areas must ensure area and output.”

　　Stabilize the area and shoulder the responsibility of focusing on agriculture and grain.

　　According to the annual grain production target, the national grain sown area in 2022 should be stabilized at 1.76 billion mu.

In order to promote the smooth progress of spring ploughing, in late January, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the grain production targets approved by the State Council to all provinces, one variety by one variety, one region by one region, and one link by one link, to consolidate responsibilities and ensure the implementation of measures.

　　"The rice bowl is served together, and the responsibility is shouldered together." All localities have taken active actions.

Heilongjiang Province fully implements the responsibility of the Party and the government for food security, and strictly prohibits the abandonment of cultivated land; Jiangxi Province resolutely curbs the "non-agriculturalization" of cultivated land, prevents "non-grain conversion", and ensures that the sown area of ​​grain will only increase; To ensure quality, promote the development of the seed industry, and decompose the responsibility of grain production to each field plot.

　　Stabilize the area and put it into solid action.

　　"Keep the sown area and output of grain stable" and "1.8 billion mu of arable land must live up to its name. Farmland is farmland, and it must be fertile land."

Words of proverbs, sincere words.

　　The season does not leave idleness, and the land does not leave empty.

This year, Shandong Province plans to build 6.65 million mu of high-standard farmland; Jiangxi Province intends to plant 18.3 million mu of early rice, an increase of 18,000 mu year-on-year.

According to the agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, although the sowing date of winter wheat this year is slightly later than normal, the sown area has remained basically stable.

At present, winter wheat has been jointed in the southwest, winter wheat in Jianghuai region has gradually sprung up and turned green, wheat in Huanghuaihai region is still overwintering, and early rice in South China is about to be soaked and raised, and the fields of hope are bred with a new bumper harvest.

　　stabilization policy

　　Farmers eat "reassurance pills"

　　To ensure food security, hundreds of millions of farmers are the main body.

　　"It is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain, and to stabilize and strengthen subsidies for farmers."

The powerful words reflect the general secretary's deep feelings for the people.

　　The policy is powerful, allowing farmers to grow grain without losing money.

　　Rotary cultivators, rice transplanters, drones... All kinds of agricultural machinery fill the yard, Cheng Xibing, a big grain grower in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, smiled and said, "The drone that integrates spraying and fertilizer has been launched. Only, spring ploughing will come in handy this year."

　　On April 25, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on rural reform in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui, and emphasized: "In terms of policy, we must consider how to improve the efficiency of grain production, increase farmers' income from growing grain, and realize farmers' production of grain. go hand in hand with increasing revenue.”

　　The spring breeze has turned into rain, and the agricultural support and protection system has been continuously improved.

With increased investment, the national general public budget for agriculture, forestry, and water expenditure in 2021 will arrange 2,497.547 billion yuan, an increase of 4.5% over 2020.

Strengthen support, build a price, subsidy, and insurance support policy system, appropriately increase the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice, and improve the subsidies for corn and soybean producers. In 2022, the full cost insurance and planting income insurance of the three major grain crops will cover all production in the main producing provinces. Liangda County, allowing farmers to share more policy dividends.

Farmers' income expectations have stabilized, and their enthusiasm for growing grain is high.

　　Operational efficiency increases, allowing farmers to grow grain more profitably.

　　In the face of the basic national conditions of big countries and small farmers, how to solve the problem of "who will farm the land"?

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "It is necessary to innovate grain production and operation models, optimize production technology measures, implement various support policies, protect farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain, and focus on improving grain production efficiency." The effective organizational form of "making agricultural management profitable and making agriculture a promising industry".

　　The management system was innovated, and the level of agricultural professional social services was continuously improved.

At present, there are more than 3 million family farms and more than 2.4 million farmers' cooperatives in the country under the management of the directory system. The agricultural socialized service area has reached 1.67 billion mu times, and it has driven more than 78 million small farmers.

This year, we will expand the coverage of policies such as arable land rotation, green and high-yield grain actions, and agricultural socialization services, and develop specialized socialized services based on agricultural machinery operations, so as to reduce production costs for small farmers, improve the efficiency of grain cultivation, and provide food production. Solid organizational security.

　　Living up to the good spring, the vast fields played the spring plowing march.

On the new journey, we will adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, work hard and persevere, and we will surely reap the joy of more harvests.
