Every year 70 billion catties of grain disappear on the way to the table...

China’s grain output has remained above 1.

At least 5% of the food "leaks" on the way to the table

This year, China's annual grain output will continue to remain above 1.

Among them, about 2% of the food was lost in storage

Food loss in the transportation and processing links cannot be ignored either

The work of saving and reducing losses in the whole grain industry chain is promising

"Careful planning" in the circulation link has achieved results

It is worth noting that in recent years, the amount of grain loss has been reduced through "careful calculations" in the circulation links

Qin Yuyun, director of the Grain Reserve Department of the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves, said that at present, China's grain storage conditions are continuously improving, and safe grain storage is more secure

Since the implementation of the "Quality Grain Project" in 2017, the construction of the grain post-production service system has played an important role in saving grain and reducing losses

Qian Yi, director of the Planning and Construction Department of the National Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, said that high-quality food enterprises have accelerated the standardized and refined management of storage, and stored them in warehouses according to the types and grades of food to ensure the quality of high-quality food storage and strengthen market bargaining power

How to save food and reduce losses in circulation

The plan focuses on the problems of loss and waste in grain storage, transportation, and processing, and puts forward targeted measures

In view of the storage problems of aging and obsolete storage facilities, large storage gaps and large losses of farmers’ grain storage, the plan proposes to include complete sets of grain drying facilities and equipment into the scope of the new agricultural machinery product subsidy pilot program, and encourage major grain-producing counties to promote the application of environmentally friendly drying facilities Encourage new agricultural business entities, grain enterprises, and grain post-production service centers to provide farmers with grain drying services; strengthen farmers' scientific grain storage technology training and services, and carry out the selection and demonstration applications of grain storage equipment for farmers of different scales and regions; encouragement; green storage and carry out actions to enhance standardized green pilot grain storage, repair old barns and other upgrades

Aiming at the problems of insufficient application of specialized grain transportation vehicle equipment, low standardization of transportation, and omission of spillage, the plan is clear to construct special railway lines, special terminals, bulk grain transit and supporting facilities; improve the rural grain logistics service network and improve Rural transportation network; develop a standardized, standardized, and informationized bulk grain transportation service system

In view of the problems in processing links such as reduced output rate, loss of nutrients and waste caused by excessive grain processing, the plan is clear to increase the conversion rate of grain and oil processing, such as formulating and revising standards for rations and edible oil processing; strengthening feed grain reduction and substitution; effective utilization By-products of grain and oil processing produce edible products, functional substances and industrial products

In addition, technology has become a mainstream trend to help save food and reduce losses

“Our country’s farmers’ grain storage technology is not high, and the management method is relatively simple.
