General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Food security is the 'bigger of the country'." "Securing 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. "
Since the beginning of this year, various regions and departments have efficiently coordinated epidemic prevention and control and spring agricultural production, seized the farming time, grasped field management, promoted spring ploughing, and implemented various measures to stabilize grain production. Continuing to improve, the "Three Summers" work is gradually being carried out across the country.
Starting today, this newspaper has launched the column "Exploring the Front Lines of Grain Production" to report on the new practices and achievements of stabilizing grain supply in various places, showing our confidence and confidence in holding our jobs firmly in our own hands.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must firmly grasp the initiative in food security, and we must pay close attention to food production every year."
Since the beginning of this year, various regions and departments have taken more vigorous and unconventional measures to solidly promote grain production.
According to the relevant data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the area of grain planted in spring this year is about 940 million mu, a slight increase over the previous year; as of May 25, more than 90% of the grain planted in the country has been planted in spring, and the progress is slightly faster than that of the previous year.
In the fields of Hengdao Village, Dongfeng Town, Dongfeng County, Jilin Province, the rice transplanter shuttles back and forth. Villager Wang Haibo said while busy, "Machine transplanting rice saves labor and labor and is highly efficient."
In Changchun Village, Shazhenxi Town, Zigui County, Hubei Province, villagers are planting medium-sized rice. Mei Chaohui, a major grain grower, said: "The policy is affordable and irrigation is convenient. This year, we will continue to grow alpine cold rice."
With the vast fields, agricultural machinery galloping vertically and horizontally, and farmers working hard, the food production situation continued to improve, laying a good foundation for the completion of the annual grain production target.
Strengthen policies, focus on field management, and consolidate the foundation for a bumper grain harvest
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The more we face risks and challenges, the more we must stabilize agriculture and ensure the safety of grain and important non-staple food."
Since the beginning of this year, in the face of factors such as the late sowing of winter wheat, rising prices of agricultural materials, and the spread of domestic epidemics, all regions and departments have stepped up efforts to strengthen and benefit farmers and enrich farmers, implemented various measures to stabilize grain production, and firmly safeguarded national food security. This bottom line.
——The policy is powerful, and the expectation of grain planting is stabilized.
"There are subsidies for farming, the price trend is good, and the energy to grow double-cropping rice is even stronger," said Xiao Quan, a major grain grower in Tangli Village, Yangxi Town, Anfu County, Jiangxi Province.
Policies stabilize expectations and strengthen confidence.
On the basis of the one-time subsidy of 20 billion yuan to the actual grain farmers, the central government recently issued a one-time subsidy of 10 billion yuan for agricultural materials.
This year, the state continued to implement the minimum purchase price policy for wheat and rice in some major producing areas, and the minimum purchase price levels for wheat, early indica rice, mid-late indica rice and japonica rice were raised in an all-round way.
——The field management is powerful, and the grain production is stabilized.
"Without reducing corn production, harvest one more season of beans." Pang Zenghua, head of Jinfeng Farm, Niuzhuang Town, Dongying District, Dongying City, Shandong Province, decided to develop soybean and corn ribbon compound planting this year. "The special planter has become a good helper. The operating area is more than 260 acres.”
This year, Shandong Province has launched actions such as "Overcoming Difficulties to Win Summer Grain Harvests" and "Strengthening Seedlings with Science and Technology". 68,000 grain planting cooperatives and nearly 180,000 family farms have promoted the promotion and application of new technologies.
Jiangxi Province has introduced policies to support centralized seedling raising and increase farmers' enthusiasm for planting double-cropping rice and "rice-rice oil". Currently, 163 new rice mechanized seedling raising centers have been built.
——The service is in place to ensure the smooth development of agricultural production.
Henan Province has opened a green channel for the transfer of agricultural machinery, and implements priority inspection and priority release for vehicles and self-propelled agricultural machinery that transfer agricultural machinery.
Heilongjiang Province has adopted precise prevention and control, classified management and other means to minimize the impact of epidemic prevention and control on spring ploughing production, so that people do not stop, and all efforts are made to rush to sow fast seeds.
All regions and departments should scientifically organize and guide them to ensure that farmers who go out to go back to their hometowns for farming, agricultural materials to enter the villages, agricultural machinery to pass, and agricultural technicians to provide services, to ensure that the farming time is not missed and the crops should be planted.
Stabilize area, stabilize production capacity, and escort a bumper grain harvest
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Farmland is farmland, and farmland must be fertile land." "Let farmers master advanced agricultural technology and use the best technology to grow the best food."
The foundation of food security is capacity security.
This year, nearly 109.6 billion yuan of central subsidy funds have been issued to continue to support local governments in strengthening the construction of high-standard farmland.
All regions and departments should do a good job in arable land protection and soil fertility improvement, strengthen scientific and technological support, and escort a bumper grain harvest.
——Insist on "storing grain in the land", and more farmland will become fertile land.
"High-standard farmland can be irrigated during drought and can be drained from waterlogging, and the wheat harvest is stable." Gu Baomin, Secretary of the Party Branch of Dongyang Village, Tianchi Town, Mianchi County, Henan Province calculated the increase in income: wheat plus corn, two seasons a year, per mu Can earn more than 2000 yuan.
The quality of cultivated land is improved, and grain cultivation increases confidence.
Jiangsu Province strictly implements the arable land protection system, and has built 46 million mu of high-standard farmland, of which 83% is medium and high-grade arable land.
Shanxi Province proposed that the permanent basic farmland should be mainly used for grain production, especially ration production. The grain production capacity is more than 1 trillion kilograms.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, focusing on grain production functional areas and important agricultural product production protection areas, we will build a national food security industry belt and implement high-standard farmland construction projects. By 2025, a total of 1.075 billion mu of high-standard farmland will be built.
——Insist on "holding grain in technology" to save costs and increase efficiency in grain production.
"The application of organic fertilizers promotes the reproduction of microorganisms, the black soil is fertile and loose, the rice seedlings are neat, and the scientific and technological farming is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." said Su Yanling, a demonstration household of claw crab rice breeding at the frontier farm of the Great Northern Wilderness in Heilongjiang.
Rows of automated greenhouses are neatly arranged, and the corn is growing well.
"The new corn line we are developing has good herbicide resistance and insect resistance," said Wu Chunren, team leader of the China Yangling Technology Center of Syngenta Group.
Up to now, my country's main crop varieties have basically achieved full coverage, the contribution rate of improved seeds in agricultural production increase exceeds 45%, and the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting exceeds 72%, which is more and more confident to ensure food security.
Improve quality, optimize supply, green becomes the main theme of food production
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "On the basis of ensuring national food security, efforts should be made to optimize the structure of industrial products."
Since the beginning of this year, various regions and departments have been focusing on the market to adjust structure and varieties, and continue to release new momentum for agricultural development.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs proposed that this year, the sown area of grain should be stabilized at 1.76 billion mu, and the area of soybean oil should resume to increase.
——Adjust the varieties and adjust the structure in a down-to-earth manner.
Gou Tianming, a major grain grower in Guangming Village, Baishui Town, Wangcang County, Sichuan Province, has planted all soybeans this year.
Since the beginning of this year, various regions have divided the task of expanding soybean planting into cities and counties and assigned them to specific fields.
The policy supports the compound planting of soybean and corn strips. This year, more than 15 million mu have been added in the northwest, Huanghuaihai, southwest and middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
—— Adjust the way, and accelerate the development of green production.
"One water is used for two purposes, fresh water is used to raise fish, fish eat rice worms, fish manure fertilizes fields, rice fragrant fish, and organic rice can be sold at a good price." said Liu Xinyi, head of Xintong Breeding Family Farm in Anfu County, Jiangxi Province. When the organic product certification is reached, the income per mu will be more than 3,500 yuan." This year, the planting area of green rice in Anfu County will exceed 170,000 mu.
A green production technology has fallen into the field.
At present, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in my country has experienced negative growth for five consecutive years. The utilization rate of chemical fertilizers and pesticides for the three major food crops has exceeded 40%, and the coverage rate of green prevention and control of major crop diseases and insect pests has reached 46%.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, 60 million mu of new high-efficiency water-saving irrigation area was added.
——Optimizing the quality, there are more and more green agricultural products.
Soil preparation, ploughing, ridge raising, agricultural machinery galloping.
"Take advantage of the good weather and sufficient moisture content, hurry up to plant good varieties of corn." Tao Xingliang, a big planter in Xiaozhanggezhuang Village, Mingcun Town, Pingdu City, Shandong Province, is very busy. "Using the integrated water and fertilizer technology, one person can manage more than 100 acres of land. One crop uses 40 kilograms of fertilizer less, and the output is stable at more than 1,500 kilograms."
With the support of the central government, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs continued to implement green, high-quality and high-efficiency actions, selecting more than 300 key counties to integrate and promote high-yield, high-efficiency, resource-saving, ecological and environmental protection technology models to increase the supply of green and high-quality agricultural products.
In the first quarter of this year, the pass rate for routine monitoring of the quality and safety of agricultural products across the country was stable at over 97.5%, and the cumulative number of green, organic and geographically indicated products reached 62,000.
At present, the "Three Summers" work is gradually being carried out across the country.
By sharing the rice bowl and shouldering the responsibilities together, we will be able to complete the annual grain production goals and tasks, and gain the initiative to deal with various risks and challenges.
