Beijing, 23 Dec (Xinhua) -- At the end of the year, corn and other autumn grains have entered the peak period of purchase. Up to now, various grain enterprises in the main producing areas have purchased more than 100 million tons of autumn grain.
The latest data released by the State Food and Material Reserves Administration on the evening of the 23rd show that since the autumn grain was listed, all kinds of grain enterprises have actively entered the market to buy, and the market purchase and sales have been active, and the market has remained basically stable. At present, all kinds of grain enterprises in the main producing areas have purchased more than 100 million tons of autumn grain, and more than half of the purchase progress has been made. In terms of sub-regions, the acquisition progress in Northeast China is about 40%, in North China is about 50%, and in the south is nearing the end.
It is reported that in order to effectively protect the interests of grain farmers, the relevant state departments have promptly approved the implementation plan for the minimum purchase price of medium and late rice in eligible areas in Heilongjiang. At present, Heilongjiang has arranged for the purchase of more than 200 storage points with a warehouse capacity of more than 8 million tons, which can meet the needs of farmers for grain sales.
In view of the recent heavy rain and snow in many places across the country, the State Food and Material Reserves Administration requires all localities to actively and steadily grasp the purchase of autumn grain, guide farmers to store grain scientifically, make reasonable use of drying capacity, give full play to the role of grain postpartum service centers, help farmers reduce losses and increase income, optimize on-site services for purchase, increase the intensity of reservation purchase, and effectively meet the needs of farmers to sell grain, so that farmers can sell "warm food" and "comfortable food".
