Yesterday 16th was World Food Day, and this week is also China's Food Security Awareness Week. In recent years, China has had consecutive bumper harvests in grain production, with abundant grain reserves and ample market supply.
The food security situation in our country continues to improve, with the total grain output remaining stable at over 1.3 trillion catties for nine consecutive years. Grain stocks are abundant, far higher than the international food security warning line of 17% -18%. The wheat and rice stocks can meet the national people's demand for food rations for more than one year. The domestic grain market has always maintained a good situation of adequate supply and stable operation.
At present, the intact storage capacity of national grain standard warehouses exceeds 700 million tons, an increase of 36% compared to 2014; The low-temperature quasi low-temperature grain storage warehouse has a capacity of 200 million tons, and the controlled atmosphere grain storage warehouse has a capacity of 55 million tons. The comprehensive loss rate of grain storage in state-owned grain depots is controlled within 1% during the storage period. More than 5500 post harvest service centers across the country provide timely cleaning, drying, and storage services for farmers.
Efforts have been made in various regions to promote high-quality grain projects, allocate over 34 billion yuan in fiscal funds, and drive social investment of over 43 billion yuan. Significant achievements have been made in improving the resilience of the grain industry and supply chain, and promoting the construction of a modern grain industry system.
Thirteen provinces have an annual output value of over 100 billion yuan in the grain industry, with Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Guangdong, Sichuan and other provinces exceeding 200 billion yuan.
Look at the 'technological paradigm' in farmland
Consolidating the foundation of a great country's granary is supported by technological equipment. At present, the contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress in China has reached 63.2%, and the overall innovation of agricultural science and technology has entered the forefront of the world. This year's autumn harvest and planting have brought more technological innovations to the fields. Let's take a look together.
At present, the autumn harvest in China has exceeded 60%, and winter wheat planting has also begun in some areas. In Qihe County, Dezhou, Shandong Province, new agricultural machinery is showing off its skills in the fields.
Li Chao, Vice Chairman of Bohao Agricultural Machinery Service Professional Cooperative in Qihe County, Dezhou City, Shandong Province: The sowing parameters of the seeder can be accurately adjusted according to different wheat varieties, soil conditions, and agronomic requirements. Coupled with an unmanned driving system, the accuracy of the operation can reach centimeter level, greatly improving the accuracy of the operation compared to manual driving.
In addition, the "unmanned driving" mechanical farming data is timely uploaded to the cloud, forming agricultural production big data and providing intelligent data suggestions for agricultural production.
Corn is the largest grain crop planted in China. Inner Mongolia is an important corn production area. In the demonstration base of Tongliao's 10000 acre smart farm, field agricultural robots and crop protection drones have become a new choice for pest and disease control through aerial operations.
Agricultural drones not only shuttle through the corn fields in Tongliao, but also serve more grain fields, fruit orchards, and economic crop planting areas across the country. Currently, the number of crop protection drones in China has reached 200000. In Chongqing, the widespread application of drones has given rise to new employment opportunities. Wu Jing, the head of Chongqing Supply and Marketing Cooperative Supply and Marketing Smart Agricultural Service Group, said that in the entire agricultural production process of plowing, planting, management, and harvesting, intelligent agricultural machinery has been combined with new agricultural technologies and practices. Through the large-scale promotion of agricultural socialized services, there has been a significant improvement in grain yield and quality.
The promotion and application of technology support and digital agriculture have steadily improved China's comprehensive grain production capacity.
Cheng Guoqiang, a professor at Renmin University of China and president of the National Institute for Food Security Strategy, said that this year is the first year of the implementation of the Action Plan for a New Round of 100 Billion Tons of Grain Productivity Improvement. The goal of this action plan is to achieve more than 100 billion jin of new grain capacity by 2030, and further enhance the comprehensive grain and food production capacity of the country. Consolidate the foundation of food security at a higher level and in all aspects, ensuring that it can be produced and supplied when needed. (CCTV News)
