1.191 billion mu of autumn grain has been harvested nationwide, 91.2% completed.

According to the agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on October 31, 1.
191 billion mu of autumn grain has been harvested nationwide, 91.
2% completed, and the progress is 0.
8 percentage points
faster than the same period last year.
In terms of regions, the autumn grain harvest in the northeast and northwest regions has basically ended, with the harvest in the Huang-Huaihai region being ninety percent, the southwest region harvesting nearly 90 percent, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and South China harvesting over 70 percent
.
According to comprehensive analysis, China's autumn grain is expected to reap another bumper harvest
.

The reporter learned that there are three main reasons for the bumper harvest of autumn grain:

First, the sown area of autumn grain has increased steadily, and there is a foundation for
a bumper harvest.
All localities strictly implement the party and government responsibilities for food security, strengthen the control of cultivated land planting use, tap the potential of grain area, increase policy support, ensure farmers' income from growing grain, and increase farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain
.
This year, the sown area of autumn grain nationwide has increased steadily, exceeding 1.
3 billion mu
.
In addition, the expansion of soybean oil seeds has achieved remarkable results, the scale of grain and bean rotation has expanded, the soybean and corn strip compound planting area has exceeded 15 million mu, and the soybean area has increased a lot
.

Second, the impact of agricultural meteorological disasters, diseases and pests is generally light, and there are conditions for
a bumper harvest.
Judging from the situation of agricultural situation dispatch nationwide, China's average annual crop disaster area in the past 10 years is 360 million mu, and this year's affected area is 120 million mu, and the overall agricultural disaster situation is light
.
Although some areas in the south suffered from historically rare high temperature and drought this summer, the northeast, Huanghuaihai and northwest major producing areas, which account for more than 70% of the country's autumn grain area and output, have a good match of light and temperature and water, and the growth trend of autumn grain is the best in recent years, and the yields of corn, rice, and soybeans have increased, making up for the losses
caused by high temperature and drought in the south.
Through the implementation of the "insects seizing grain" campaign to ensure a bumper harvest, we have grasped early treatment of small crops, regional management, joint prevention and control, vigorously promoted unified prevention and control, and the occurrence of major diseases and insects such as fall armyworm and rice "two migration" pests is obviously lighter than expected, and has not adversely affected
autumn grain production.

Third, measures to stabilize grain from the central to the local level have been implemented, and a bumper harvest has been supported
.
This year, the central government has further increased its support for
grain production.
In the whole year, 40 billion yuan was distributed in three batches to distribute one-off agricultural input subsidies to farmers who actually grow grain, doubling the amount of funds compared with the previous year; Arrange 10 billion yuan of agricultural production and water conservancy and disaster relief funds through the central reserve fee, and fully support all localities to do a good job in drought relief, autumn grain prevention and stable production; The incentive funds of major grain-producing counties have increased
compared with the previous year.
The agricultural and rural systems have implemented detailed work measures and gone all out to seize a bumper harvest
of autumn grain.
During the critical period of autumn grain production, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs dispatched 25 provincial parcel contact guidance working groups, 10 expert guidance groups and 12 science and technology teams to the front line to guide all localities to grasp the field management in the later stage of autumn grain; Agricultural and rural departments at all levels have actively organized grassroots agricultural technicians to carry out guidance services, and implemented key measures
for disaster prevention, reduction, stable production, and increased production, such as "one spray and multiple promotions" for autumn grain.

It has also been learned that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has demanded that all localities unswervingly grasp the harvest of autumn grain while completing the autumn and winter planting work
with quality and quantity.
As of October 31, 85.
6 percent of winter wheat had been sown nationwide, significantly faster than last year's year affected by the autumn flood; 86.
8 percent
of winter rapeseed had been sown.
