Autumn Grain Harvest Meets Peak The trend of increasing output in many major producing areas is obvious

At present, the autumn grain harvest across the country has entered the peak period
.
Agricultural dispatch shows that the autumn grain harvest nationwide has reached nearly 60%, the growth of autumn grain in the main producing areas of northeast, Huanghuaihai and northwest is generally good, the yields of corn, rice, and soybeans have increased to varying degrees, and autumn grain is expected to be harvested again
.

"This year is a good year, the accumulated temperature is also sufficient, it is a bumper harvest year, soybean acres yield is about 500 jin, an increase of 560 jin over last year, corn mu yield is about
2,000 jin.
" Lin Haifei, a villager in Yongjin Village, Jiaxinzi Town, Baoqing County, Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province, said that the autumn harvest began in late September and has now completed the harvest of more than 500 mu of corn and 1,100 mu of soybeans planted by the cooperative
.

Zhang Qiang, deputy director of the Baoqing County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, told reporters that this year's crop planting area in the county is 2.
8982 million mu, and the annual output is expected to exceed 2.
1 billion jin, and it is expected to complete the harvesting of most crops by the end of
October.

In Henan, on October 7, Shi Guochen, a major grain grower in Gezhuang Village, Caiyuan Town, Anyang City, was directing a large harvester to harvest corn, "This year's corn harvest is generally good, and one mu of land can receive about
1,300-1,400 jin.
" ”

According to data from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Henan Province, as of October 9, 101.
98 million mu of autumn crops in the province have been harvested, 86%
complete.

Looking at the whole country, 56.
4% of the autumn grain harvest has been completed, and the progress is 3 percentage points
faster than the same period last year.
As each major producing area enters the concentrated harvest period, large-scale harvesting has been in full swing
.

Autumn grain is the "majority" of annual grain production, mainly including middle and late indica, japonica rice, corn, soybeans, etc.
, and the output accounts for about
three-quarters of the annual grain output.
According to the dispatch of agricultural conditions, most of the main autumn grain producing areas, especially the northern part, are growing well this year, and the trend of increasing autumn grain output in many main producing areas is obvious
.

"This year is another bumper harvest year, and we are sure
to achieve the goal of more than 1.
3 trillion jin.
" Zeng Yande, chief agronomist and director of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said
.

Behind this heavy harvest answer, this year's grain production has undergone multiple tests, and the results have not been easy to come by: to overcome the impact of extreme weather such as last year's rare autumn rain and autumn flood, and this summer's severe high temperature and drought in the Yangtze River Basin, but also to deal with risk challenges
such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic and international commodity price fluctuations.

A good harvest is inseparable from a series of food production support policies
.
During the critical period of autumn grain production, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs sent 25 provincial parcel contact working groups and 12 scientific and technological teams to key provinces of autumn grain and key areas affected by high temperature and drought to carry out technical guidance, and issued a number of technical opinions such as the resistance of southern rice to high temperature and heat damage, and provided accurate guidance services
for crops due to disasters and places.

At the end of August this year, the central government released 10 billion yuan to once again issue one-time agricultural input subsidies to actual grain farmers to alleviate the impact of rising agricultural input prices, so far, the cumulative subsidy funds issued by the central government in 2022 have reached 40 billion yuan
.

In addition, large-scale construction of high-standard farmland, vigorous promotion of the whole process of mechanization of grain production, promotion of moderate-scale grain operation.
.
.
A series of measures have taken a long-term view to consolidate and improve food production capacity
.

The data show that the comprehensive mechanization rate of wheat, corn and rice cultivation and harvest in China exceeds 97%, 90% and 85% respectively; According to the plan, by the end of this year, China's high-standard farmland will be built on a cumulative basis of 1 billion mu
.

Standing on the hill of Yongjin Village, you can look down at the high-standard farmland that can be watered by drought, drained by waterlogging, square fields, and smooth roads
.
"This year's grain harvest is indispensable
to the high-standard farmland built by the county.
" Lin Haifei told reporters that in the past, the field roads were narrow, the terrain was low-lying, and there were no drainage ditches, and tractors often fell into the field when it rained, delaying the farming time
.
After the construction of high-standard farmland, you can drive to the field to check the growth of crops, and field management is also much
more convenient.

At present, China's grain output has been stable at more than 1.
3 trillion jin for seven consecutive years, and grain output in 2021 reached a record high, reaching 1,365.
7 billion jin
.

This year, under the situation of the spread of the global epidemic and the complex and severe international environment, China's summer grain harvest is bumper, early rice production is stable, and grain prices are generally stable
.
After the harvest of summer grain and early rice, autumn grain is also expected to be harvested again
.

"At present, China's grain harvest has been bumper year after year, the supply is abundant, and the market is stable, which is in sharp contrast
to the ups and downs of the international grain market.
" Wu Xiao, director of the Department of Rural Economy of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that this fully shows that we have firmly grasped the initiative of food security, and the road of food security with Chinese characteristics has become more and more stable
.

Wu Xiao said that we should also soberly realize that China's grain production and demand will remain in a tight balance in the medium and long term, and the string of ensuring national food security cannot be relaxed for a moment, and we must continue to make efforts
to build a higher-level, higher-quality, more efficient and more sustainable food security system.
