Official of the development research center of the State Council: there is no food shortage in China

Lead: Beijing, April 22: from October last year to now, China's grain price has increased by more than 40% Now the grain price is approaching the highest level in history Is there any problem with China's grain? Han Jun, Minister of the rural economy Department of the development research center of the State Council, pointed out today that the supply and demand of grain is changing from loose to tight, but there is no shortage of grain At today's "glorious cause and agricultural industrialization forum", Han Jun focused on analyzing China's agricultural development strategy He reminded that there should be a cyclical view of food production Food is not more beneficial, but in fact, the government cannot afford to have more food China formulated a very strong grain policy in 1994 By 1998, the per capita grain output had exceeded 400 kg At present, China's consumption structure and income level, as long as the per capita grain share exceeded 360 kg, there would be a grain surplus So food prices have been falling for six years, down to October last year Since 2000, China's grain policy has been fine-tuning The core is to control grain production, and to this end, China has formulated a huge policy of returning farmland to forests and grasslands, with a considerable amount of grain to subsidize farmers every year Han Jun said that the current rise in food prices is restorative and should be viewed objectively Don't think that last year's grain quantity came down, which means that there was a problem with grain He believes that the increase of grain price will bring benefits to farmers, and that the increase of grain price will increase farmers' income by 2300 yuan per mu He thinks it is very important for Chinese agriculture to stimulate the enthusiasm of farmers We should be confident that since the reform and opening up, there have never been any problems with food, and there will never be any major problems in the future Han Jun thinks it is advisable to import grain properly Han Jun believes that the level of China's agricultural industrialization should be greatly improved However, some problems need to be taken seriously One is that China does not have a leading multinational agricultural industrialization enterprise The second is to realize that agriculture is not a profiteering industry He thinks that agriculture is a stable industry To make agricultural industrialization, we should have long-term plans and do not want to make huge profits in a short time, but there will not be too much risk
