BEIJING, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- China will take multiple measures to ensure that grain output remains at 1 in 2024More than 3 trillion catties.
Xinhua News Agency reporters Yu Qiongyuan and Yu Wenjing.
* The Rural Work Conference emphasized that we should do a good job in the production of grain and important agricultural products, stabilize the sown area of grain, promote a large-scale increase in grain yield, consolidate the results of soybean expansion, explore the establishment of an inter-provincial horizontal interest compensation mechanism in grain production and marketing areas, and do a good job in agricultural disaster prevention, mitigation and relief to ensure that grain output will remain at 1 in 2024More than 3 trillion catties.
In 2023, in the face of complex and severe domestic and international situations and frequent and recurrent natural disasters, the national agricultural and rural system will go all out to overcome difficulties and maintain the momentum of steady improvement and steady progress in agricultural and rural development. All regions continued to increase support for grain production, and effectively overcame the impact of unfavorable factors such as the rare "bad rain" in the Huanghuai River and the severe floods in North and Northeast China.
The reporter learned from the recent meeting of directors of the National Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs that in 2023, the grain output will hit a record high, the soybean area and output will increase, the self-sufficiency rate will continue to increase, and the supply of meat, eggs, milk, cotton, oil, sugar, fruits, vegetables and fish will be sufficient, and the quality and safety will be guaranteed.
How to ensure the "rice bags" and "vegetable baskets" of more than 1.4 billion people in 2024?
Tang Renjian, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in view of the frequent recurrence of agricultural disasters and the complex and severe external environment, it is necessary to insist on stabilizing the area and increasing the yield to ensure that the grain output is stable at 1More than 3 trillion catties. Solidly promote a new round of 100 billion catties of grain production capacity improvement action;Adhere to the concept of big agriculture and big food, build a diversified food supply system, continue to improve the production capacity and self-sufficiency rate of soybean oil, improve the production capacity control mechanism, stabilize animal husbandry and fishery production, and ensure effective supply at a higher level.
Industry experts said that in the face of increasingly tight resource and environmental constraints and higher and higher requirements for stable production and supply, we must broaden our horizons, innovate ways and means, and do a good job in agricultural production with food security as the focus.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the next step will be to stabilize rations, corn and soybeans, continue to expand the rape area, and strive to increase yields. We should earnestly increase the yield of major crops such as grain and oil, continue to promote the production of soybean oilseeds, and ensure that the soybean area will be stable at 1 next yearMore than 500 million acres.
At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will focus on stabilizing the supply of "vegetable basket" products, optimizing the pig production capacity regulation mechanism, promoting the balance of dairy production and demand, promoting the balance of vegetables and fruits, accelerating the development of deep-sea aquaculture, and strengthening the supervision of the quality and safety of agricultural products.
* The Rural Work Conference emphasized that the protection and construction of cultivated land should be strengthened, the quantity, quality and ecology of cultivated land should be improved, and priority should be given to turning cultivated land in the black soil areas, plain areas and areas with water conservancy and irrigation conditions into high-standard farmland, and the level of investment subsidies should be appropriately increased. Support the construction of agricultural science and technology innovation platforms, and accelerate the revitalization of the seed industry.
The person in charge of the relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that it is necessary to systematically promote agricultural and rural scientific and technological innovation, highlight the application orientation, optimize the agricultural and rural scientific and technological innovation system, organize all aspects of scientific research forces to focus on industrial bottlenecks, focus on tackling key problems and joint operations, innovate mechanisms, strengthen scientific research project management, and steadily promote the industrialization of biological breeding.
At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will vigorously improve the quality of cultivated land, do a good job in the third national soil census, improve the level of high-standard farmland input, and coordinate the promotion of key tasks such as the protection of black soilPromote the green development of agriculture, and smooth the production of rural households, the combination of planting and breeding, and the rural ecological cycle.
