General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that ensuring the supply of primary products is a major strategic issue. The rice bowl of the Chinese people must be firmly in their own hands at all times, and the rice bowl is mainly filled with Chinese food.
This year, my country overcame the difficulties of large-scale late sowing of winter wheat, severe high temperature and drought in the south, and strengthened food security. Grain production hit a record high, stabilized the basic agricultural market, and provided a solid foundation for coping with various risks and challenges and building a new development pattern. Solid support.
Right now, the winter wheat sown in autumn and winter in my country has entered the overwintering period, and the growth of the seedlings is significantly better than that of the previous year. The area is expected to increase steadily, laying a solid foundation for next year's summer grain harvest.
Not long ago, my country's grain production once again delivered a gratifying report card: the annual grain output reached 1,373.1 billion catties, the summer grain production increased by 2.89 billion catties, the early rice production increased by 210 million catties, and the autumn grain production increased by 4.25 billion catties. The harvest increased.
More than one billion people need to eat, which is the biggest national condition of our country.
The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core always regards food security as the top priority in governing the country.
On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping braved the wind and snow to visit Shanxi.
In October last year, there was the strongest autumn flood since meteorological records existed in the local area, and it was difficult for some winter wheat to be planted on time.
The general secretary inspected the situation of post-disaster restoration and reconstruction, autumn and winter replanting, etc.
This year, during a domestic inspection, the general secretary looked at the situation of seedlings, asked about the harvest, looked at the protection of cultivated land, and learned about the innovation of the seed industry. He pointed out that it is necessary to plan ahead and always tighten the string of food security.
This year, the central government implemented the assessment of the same responsibility of the party and the government for food safety for the first time, and compacted the local responsibility for grasping food.
The central government has allocated more than 300 billion yuan to support grain production, including rice subsidies, corn soybean producer subsidies, arable land fertility protection subsidies, and one-time subsidies for farmers who actually grow grain, stabilizing farmers’ expectations for growing grain.
The annual grain sown area reached 1.775 billion mu, an increase of 10.519 million mu over the previous year.
Faced with the unfavorable situation that one-third of the winter wheat seedlings are weak and the epidemic spreads in many places, the country has taken multiple measures to ensure smooth flow.
This is the agricultural material supply network of the national supply and marketing system, with more than 20,000 agricultural material management outlets and grassroots service centers, which deliver seeds, pesticides and fertilizers to the fields in a timely manner without delaying the farming season.
The key to firmly grasping the initiative in food security lies in improving the comprehensive agricultural production capacity and truly implementing the "storage of grain on the ground and technology".
This year, 1 billion mu of high-standard farmland will be built, stably guaranteeing my country's grain production capacity of more than 1 trillion catties.
In Yongxiu, Jiangxi, the local high-standard farmland has accounted for 72.6% of the arable land area. The project area has successfully resisted the continuous high temperature and drought that is rare in the history of the southern region this year, and the output of mid-season rice has remained stable.
This year, the level of agricultural machinery and equipment is moving towards higher quality. There are more than 900,000 intelligent agricultural machinery with Beidou positioning function, and the operating efficiency has increased by more than 20%.
This year, the revitalization of the seed industry has been solidly advanced. The number of large national seed production counties and regional breeding bases for fine varieties has increased to 216, which has guaranteed more than 70% of the country's crop seed needs, and fully utilized the potential for increasing production in hilly and mountainous areas, cold and dry land, and saline-alkali land. Dig it out.
This year, substantial progress has been made in the expansion of soybean planting, and the area of soybeans that are in short supply in the market has increased by more than 20 million mu, which is the highest area since 1964.
Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences:
In 2022, it is not easy to achieve double increases in grain area and output. Further optimization of the structure will play a role in ensuring national food security, coping with complex and changing domestic and foreign situations, and overcoming various risks and challenges. The role of ballast stones.
The warehouse is solid, and the world is safe.
The just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference made it clear that next year, my country will implement a new round of action to increase grain production capacity of 100 billion jin, and the foundation of the granary of a big country is being consolidated like never before.
