There is a famous saying in ancient China: "The foundation of a country is adequate food." The food issue is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and is a major matter that all countries at home and abroad attach great importance to in ancient and modern times. my country's per capita share of grain

On March 5, the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress held an opening ceremony at the Great Hall of the People. After the meeting, the first "Ministerial Channel" interview event was held.

This year’s government work report stated in the “Main Expected Development Goals for This Year” that grain output should remain above 1.3 trillion kilograms. It also requires improving the supply security capabilities of grain and important agricultural products. The key to ensuring food security is seeds and arable land. It is necessary to strengthen the protection and utilization of germplasm resources and the selection and promotion of excellent varieties, and carry out research on key core agricultural technologies.

As for the current food production situation, whether our food security is guaranteed, and the considerations and arrangements for turning around the seed industry, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs responded to the "Ministerial Channel".

The minister said frankly that in a large country like ours with a population of 1.4 billion, the issue of food has always been a top priority in state governance and an eternal theme in our agricultural and rural work.

This year’s Central Government Document No. 1 clearly requires that the party and government share the responsibility for food security, which shows the importance attached to food security. The minister revealed that with the approval of the State Council, we have assigned each province this year's grain area and production tasks, and formulated a series of policies and measures to support grain development.

Including the minimum purchase price of indica rice and wheat, which increased by 1 cent per catty last year and will continue to increase by 1 cent this year. In addition, the subsidy policy for corn and soybean producers continues to remain stable, and the pilot programs for full cost insurance and income insurance have been expanded to cover the three major grain crops.

In addition, in order to implement the strategy of storing grain in the ground and storing grain in technology, we vigorously promote the construction of high-standard farmland and black soil protection projects. This year we also plan to build 100 million acres of high-standard farmland. ? These efforts were not in vain. The minister said that according to dispatch, the amount of winter wheat across the country has increased by more than 3 million acres compared with last year, and the seedling conditions and moisture conditions are especially good. At present, wheat has turned green in a large area, and the number of first- and second-grade seedlings is about 87.5%, an increase of 1 percentage point from the previous year.

However, he also said that we should not be too optimistic. To achieve a good summer grain harvest, we have to go through five hurdles and kill six generals. We also need to prevent spring cold, spring drought, lodging, diseases and insect pests, and there will be dry and hot winds behind. Finally, There may also be bad rain. ?In short, we must pass one hurdle after another, grasp each link, and strive to have a bumper harvest of summer grain before the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party. ?

my country’s grain supply has been abundant for 17 consecutive years, and has been stable at more than 1.3 trillion catties in the past six years. At present, our per capita grain possession is 474 kilograms. The international community generally considers 400 kilograms to be a standard line for food security. We have exceeded it for many years in a row. Therefore, our food security can be fully guaranteed, and we can fully stabilize the jobs of the Chinese people.
