    According to a survey of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country, the total national grain output in 2022 will be 1.
    37306 billion jin, an increase of 7.
    36 billion jin over the previous year, an increase of 0.
    5%, and grain output has been stable at more than
    1.
    3 trillion jin for eight consecutive years.
    In 2022, the national grain harvest will be bumper again, providing strong support for stabilizing the macroeconomic market and maintaining economic operation in a reasonable range, laying a solid foundation for coping with the complex and severe international environment, overcoming various risks and challenges, and making positive contributions
    to stabilizing the global grain market and food security.

    In 2022, the total national grain output will be 1.
    37306 billion jin, an increase of 7.
    36 billion jin over the previous year, an increase of 0.
    5%, and grain output has been stable at more than
    1.
    3 trillion jin for eight consecutive years.

    Grain production and harvest increased throughout the year

    According to the announcement, the national grain sowing area 118332 thousand hectares (177498 million mu), an increase of 701 thousand hectares (10.
    52 million mu) over 2021, an increase of 0.
    6%.

    The national grain area output was 5802 kg/ha (387 kg/mu), 3.
    3 kg/ha (0.
    2 kg/mu) less than in 2021, down 0.
    1%.

    The total national grain output was 686.
    53 million tons (1,373.
    1 billion jin), an increase of 3.
    68 million tons (7.
    4 billion jin) over 2021, an increase of 0.
    5%.

    Among the 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the country, 23 provinces have increased their grain production
    .
    Among them, Henan reduced production due to floods last year, and this year's recovery increased by 4.
    9 billion jin; Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Shanxi and Jilin all increased grain production by more than 800 million jin
    .

    Heilongjiang is China's largest grain producing province, with grain output of 157.
    35 billion jin last year, accounting for 11.
    5% of the country's total grain output, ranking first
    in the country for 12 consecutive years.
    According to the person in charge of the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in early November this year, Heilongjiang's autumn harvest production has been fully successful, and the "nineteen consecutive feng"
    has been achieved.

    The existing arable land area of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is 172 million mu, ranking second in the country in terms of total arable land, and it is one of the 13 major grain-producing areas and 8 grain-scale transfer provinces and regions in the country, and the output of corn, soybeans and potatoes and other major grain crops and miscellaneous grains and beans such as millet, sorghum and mung beans ranks first
    in the country.
    This year, Inner Mongolia's grain output reached a new high, reaching 78.
    01 billion jin, an increase of 1.
    2 billion jin over the previous year, and remained above
    75 billion jin for five consecutive years.

    Security assurance capabilities continue to improve

    In 2022, the central government will continue to raise the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice, stabilize the subsidy policy for corn and soybean producers and rice, and successively issue a one-time subsidy of 40 billion yuan to farmers who actually grow grain to increase farmers
    ' enthusiasm for growing grain.
    All localities have compacted their responsibilities for grain production, strengthened the control of cultivated land use, and tapped the potential
    of area through methods such as returning forests to fields, replanting crops, and continuous improvement of farmland.

    Cong Liang, member of the leading party group of the National Development and Reform Commission, secretary of the leading party group and director of the Food and Reserve Bureau, said that food is related to the national transportation and people's livelihood, and food security is an important foundation
    for ensuring national security.
    China's food security capacity has continued to improve, and there are five major manifestations, namely, grain output has achieved a high level, the foundation of food production has been continuously consolidated, food circulation has remained efficient and smooth, food emergency protection has been more powerful, and the operation of the grain market has been generally stable
    .

    At present, the national standard warehouse has a good storage capacity of 700 million tons, and the storage conditions have generally reached the world's advanced level
    .
    At present, there are 6,000 grain emergency processing enterprises, 53,000 emergency supply outlets, 4,199 emergency storage and transportation enterprises, and 3,047 emergency distribution centers, which have the ability to respond to various major natural disasters and public emergencies
    .

    In recent years, due to various factors, the international grain market has fluctuated greatly
    .
    In contrast, China's grain market has sufficient supply and overall stable operation, effectively meeting the consumption needs of the people, and playing an important role
    in sustained and healthy economic development and social harmony and stability.

    Cong Liang said that China's food security situation is good, and he has firmly held the Chinese's rice bowl in his own hands, and it mainly contains Chinese grain
    .
    In the future, we have the foundation, conditions, ability and confidence to always firmly grasp the initiative of food security, and the road to food security with Chinese characteristics will surely become broader
    and broader.

    Promote the construction of high-standard farmland

    In 2022, the national summer grain and early rice output will be 294.
    81 billion jin and 56.
    25 billion jin respectively, an increase of 2.
    89 billion jin and 210 million jin
    over the previous year.
    This year, the southern region continued to experience high temperatures and droughts, which adversely
    affected autumn grain production.
    The central government has made emergency arrangements for agricultural production and water conservancy disaster relief funds, and all localities have made all-out efforts to fight drought and disaster relief, and strengthened field management, especially the high-standard farmland built in recent years, which has played an important role
    in agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation.

    In November this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and other five departments jointly issued the Notice on Promoting the Pilot Work of High-standard Farmland Construction in the Whole Region, deciding to promote the construction
    of high-standard farmland in the whole region on a pilot basis in areas where conditions permit 。 With the primary goal of improving grain production capacity, we should pay attention to the protection of cultivated land and the improvement of land productivity, strengthen the overall planning and connection with the construction and transformation of large and medium-sized irrigation areas, focus on consolidating the foundation, promoting advantages, strengths and weaknesses, strengthen protection and utilization, strictly control the "non-grain" of cultivated land, continue to promote the construction of farmland infrastructure, explore and practice to build all permanent basic farmland into high-standard farmland with drought and flood protection, play a leading role in the construction of high-quality high-standard farmland, and further consolidate the foundation
    of food security.

    It is reported that in 2021, Guizhou Province launched a high-standard farmland construction quality improvement action, and as of December 9, 2022, the province has completed 2.
    54 million mu of high-standard farmland construction tasks, and is expected to exceed the annual task
    of 2.
    6 million mu.
    According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Jilin Province, Jilin Province has built a total of 44 million mu of high-standard farmland, accounting for 53% of the province's permanent basic farmland, and this year Jilin Province has built 5.
    5 million mu of new high-standard farmland, a record high
    .

    According to the requirements of the pilot, the pilot work of promoting high-standard farmland construction in the whole region is divided into three categories
    : the municipal level, the whole county level and the whole irrigation area according to the characteristics of the region.
    The first batch of pilot projects to promote high-standard farmland construction in no more than 20 entire regions will be supported on the basis of merit in some areas, and all permanent basic farmland that meets the conditions for project approval in a certain area will be built into high-standard farmland
    .
