In 2023, the national grain output will reach a new high, in order to stabilize the global grain market and maintain the worldFood securityMake a positive contribution. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the fact that the grain sowing area in 2023 will exceed 1.8 billion muCultivated land red line, whether this represents ChinaCultivated land red lineWhat about the policy being broken?This article will explain this issue in detail.
According to data published by the National Bureau of Statistics, the national grain output will reach 13,908 in 2023200 million catties, a year-on-year increase of 13%。Among them,CornProduction was 5776800 million catties, an increase of 42%；RiceThe output was 4132100 million catties, down 09%；WheatProduction was 2731800 million catties, down 08%；PotatoesThe production was 602800 million catties, an increase of 12%；LegumesThe total grain production was 476800 million catties, an increase of 14%。
It is worth noting that this is the ninth consecutive year that the national grain output has been stable at 1More than 3 trillion catties. Such achievements have contributed to the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization and accelerated constructionAgricultureA strong country provides a solid foundation for the maintenance of the worldFood securityA positive contribution has been made. China's achievements in food production are not only for itselfAgricultureThe affirmation of development is more important to the worldFood security's positive contributions.
When we look at grain production, we inevitably have to pay attention to the sown area of grain. In 2023, the whole countryCornThe sown area is 66.3 billion mu, an increase of 27%；RiceThe sown area is 43.4 billion mu, down 17%；WheatThe sown area is 35.4 billion mu, an increase of 05%；LegumesThe sown area is 1800 million mu, an increase of 10%；PotatoesThe sown area is 10.6 billion mu, down 19%。
According to statistics, the total sown area of grain in the country is 178.5 billion mu, an increase of 954 over the previous year60,000 acres, an increase of 05%。The contrast to this figure is ChinaCultivated land red linepolicy, ieArea of cultivated landIt cannot be less than 1.8 billion mu. One might think that the area sown with grain exceeds thatCultivated land red line, which means:Cultivated land red lineThe policy was broken. However, this is not the case.
Cultivated land red lineThe 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land required by the policy does not refer to the actual sown area, but comprehensively considers China's comprehensivenessEconomyAn estimate based on factors such as development, demographic status and food yields. In fact, the sown area of grain is calculated according to the number of multiple croppings, and a piece of land can be planted with crops in different seasons in a year, and each time it is counted as one sowing. As a result, the sown area of grain tends to be largerArea of cultivated land
in our countryArea of cultivated landIn addition to the sown area of food crops, the redline policy also includes melons and fruitsVegetablesCotton, oil crops, sugar crops and other crops. Among these crops, melons and fruitsVegetablesof the sown area occupies the main share, reaching 3. per yearWith about 500 million acres, it is the largest melon and fruit in the worldVegetablesAcreage area.
In accordance with the relevant regulations,Area of cultivated landThe priority use should be used for grain and cotton, oil, sugar,VegetablesetcAgricultural productsproduction. Therefore, it can be said that of our countryCultivated land red lineThe policy is taken into accountFood securityand othersAgricultural productsA comprehensive balance of demand. After years of planning, our countryCultivated land red lineGradually improved, from 1.8 billion mu during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period to 18 during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period6.5 billion mu.
By looking at the grain production and sown area in 2023, we can conclude that although the sown area of grain exceeds 1.8 billion muCultivated land red line, but that doesn't meanCultivated land red lineThe policy is broken. Cultivated land red lineThe required 1.8 billion mu of arable land is based on a single data based on comprehensive factors, while the actual sown area is calculated on a per-seeding basis. In addition,Cultivated land red lineFruits and melons are also taken into account in the policyVegetablesCottonThe sown area of other crops, such as oil crops and sugar crops, makes the use of cultivated land more rich and diverse. Therefore, we can see that the Chinese oneCultivated land red lineThe policy has not been broken, but has been continuously improved and guaranteedFood securitywithAgricultural productsof diverse needs.
