Development and Reform Commission: This year's food production is expected to achieve a good eight consecutive years

According to Fang Yan, deputy director of the Department of Agriculture and Economics of the National Development and Reform Commission, despite drought and floods affecting the planting of early rice this year, the situation is better than expected, and the area planted has increased slightly from last year to about 88 million mu. Moreover, due to the pre-drought, the light was sufficient, which was conducive to the growth of crops, and the yield level increased. The total area of ​​autumn grain sowing is 1.15 billion mu, which is an increase of 7 million mu compared with last year. At present, the food production in the whole year is good, especially the autumn food in the four provinces in the northeast is growing well.

In addition, the state’s supportive policies for agriculture, rural areas and farmers are very effective, with more than 16 billion yuan of funds within the budget. This year, the central government has a relatively high rate of funds in place. In most areas, winter infrastructure is used to carry out the construction of water conservancy projects in winter and conditions for field irrigation have been improved. The Development and Reform Commission has also arranged 300 million yuan for the education of the northeastern greenhouse. The four northeastern provinces only plowed the spring this year and invested more than 100 billion yuan, an increase of more than 10 billion yuan from last year. In addition, the grain planting area in Northeast China has increased by a large margin this year, and rice and corn (2285, -8.00, -0.35%) have increased by more than 10 million mu, which has reached a new high and is beneficial to the eight consecutive increase.

On the whole, the National Development and Reform Commission believes that the summer grain crop is now recovering. The early rice crop seems to be relatively clear. As long as there are no major disasters in the autumn crops, especially if there is no early frost in the northeast, floods will not occur in the Yangtze River region. The harvest should be no problem. . However, the National Development and Reform Commission also said that because of the strangeness of the climate this year, we must also be very active in terms of prevention awareness to ensure a good harvest.

In 2010, the grain output reached 54.641 million tons, an increase of 15.59 million tons over the previous year, an increase of 2.9%. Achieved a bumper harvest for seven consecutive years, but in 2010, the summer grain output decreased by 0.3%, early rice decreased by 6.1%, and autumn grain increased by 4.8%. It can be seen that autumn grain production plays an important role in food production throughout the year.

Many officials from the relevant development bureaus of the Development and Reform Commission attending the today's briefing session emphasized that the autumn grain situation this year is very good, especially in the northeast.

According to Wan Jinsong, Director of the Department of Farming and Water Conservation, Price Division of the National Development and Reform Commission, the price of grain in the country has maintained a stable and rising trend in recent years. This year, the price of wheat (2640, -11.00, -0.41%) has risen by more than 60%. The price has increased by 94%. Actually, the drought and flood disaster in the first half of the year did not have a substantial impact on China's grain market and would not have a fundamental impact on the total grain production of the whole year, so it would not have much impact on the price. influences. In addition, the country's grain reserves are abundant and there is a very large adjustment space.
