China's per capita grain output reached 483.5 kg, exceeding the internationally recognized safety line

"Food is related to the national movement and people's livelihood, and food security is an important foundation for
national security.
" On October 17, Cong Liang, member of the leading party group of the National Development and Reform Commission, secretary of the leading party group and director of the State Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, said
at a press conference held at the press center of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Cong Liang described the current food security situation
in China from five aspects.
From the perspective of grain production, it has achieved a high level of climbing
.
In 2012, China's grain output stood on the 1.
2 trillion jin step for the first time, and has remained above
1.
3 trillion jin for seven consecutive years since 2015.
China's per capita grain output reached 483.
5 kilograms, "that is to say, even without taking into account imported replenishment and abundant stocks, per capita grain production alone has exceeded the internationally recognized food security line of 400 kilograms"
.

In terms of production base, the cultivated land area nationwide is 1.
918 billion mu, 1.
058 billion mu of grain production functional zones and important agricultural product production protection zones have been delineated, 900 million mu of high-standard farmland has been built, the contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress has reached 61 percent, and the improved seeds of grain crops have basically achieved full coverage
.
In terms of grain circulation, the national standard warehouse has a good storage capacity of 700 million tons, and the storage conditions have generally reached the world's advanced level
.

Emergency security is also an important part
of national food security.
Cong Liang mentioned that China has 6,000 emergency grain processing enterprises, 53,000 emergency supply outlets, 4,199 emergency storage and transportation enterprises, and 3,047 emergency distribution centers, which have the ability to respond to various major natural disasters and public emergencies
.

"The grain market is generally running smoothly
.
" Cong Liang said that in recent years, the international grain market has fluctuated greatly
due to various factors.
In contrast, China's grain market has sufficient supply, maintained overall stability, effectively met the people's consumption needs, and played an important role
in sustained and healthy economic development and social harmony and stability.

It is worth mentioning that October 16 is the 42nd World Food Day, and the autumn harvest in full swing is also coming to an end
.
According to the latest agricultural dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, 931 million mu of autumn grain has been harvested nationwide, 71.
3% completed, and the progress is 2.
6 percentage points
faster than the same period last year.
In terms of regions, the harvest in the northeast region has exceeded 70%, the Huanghuaihai region has exceeded 70%, the northwest and southwest regions have exceeded 80%, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and South China have exceeded 50%.

At present, the main producing areas are rushing to grasp the agricultural season and accelerate the autumn grain harvest
.

In addition, according to the forecast of the meteorological department, the weather in most autumn harvest areas in the country is fine, and the meteorological grade of autumn harvest is suitable, which is conducive to speeding up the progress of
autumn harvest.
Agricultural experts suggest that in the autumn harvest area in the north, it is necessary to seize the fine weather to grab the harvest and dry mature crops, and after the harvest of the autumn harvest crops in the winter wheat area, it is necessary to do a good job in stubble preparation and preparation for sowing, and take advantage of the mounds to sow winter wheat
at the appropriate time.

Qin Yuyun, spokesman for the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves, said that with the continuous acceleration of the harvest of autumn grain, the new season of autumn grain is being listed
one after another.
According to the dispatch, at present, the purchase price of ordinary varieties of third-class middle and late rice in the main producing areas is basically around 1.
29 yuan / jin, which is roughly the same as the
price in previous years.
