China's grain stocks are relatively abundant, and the energy supply is basically stable

Since the beginning of this year, the international situation has been complex and severe, especially the intensification of geopolitical conflicts, which has led to a sharp rise in international commodity prices, especially grain and energy prices, which has aroused widespread concern
.
At the press conference of the State Council New Office on the 15th, Fu Linghui, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics and director of the Department of Comprehensive Statistics of the National Economy, responded to
the issue of ensuring the supply and price stability of grain and energy.

Fu Linghui said that from the current situation, geopolitical conflicts have led to an increase
in the global impact of food production in Russia and Ukraine.
In this regard, many countries have introduced measures to restrict grain exports, which has further aggravated the contradiction between supply and demand, and global food prices have continued to run
at a high level.
China has continued to increase measures
to stabilize grain production.
China's grain output has been stable at more than 1.
3 trillion kilograms for 7 consecutive years, and grain stocks are relatively abundant
.

Although domestic food prices have recently risen due to international factors, the magnitude is significantly lower than the international level
.
Judging from the current situation, summer grain production is already in the harvest stage and is expected to obtain a better harvest
.
This year, the overall climatic conditions are good, all aspects have increased field management, strengthened the production guidance for peasant households, summer grain is expected to achieve a good harvest, laying a good foundation
for a bumper grain harvest throughout the year.

"Of course, now that the international environment is more complicated, we must continue to do a good job in grain production in the next stage, further reduce the pressure on agricultural production brought about by the rise in agricultural prices, and ensure the steady growth
of grain output throughout the year.
" Fu Linghui said
.

Fu Linghui also mentioned that since the beginning of this year, affected by changes in the international situation, global energy prices have risen
sharply.
Although the external import pressure has increased, the domestic efforts to ensure supply and price stability have also continued to increase, and the energy supply is basically stable
.
From the perspective of energy consumption structure, oil and natural gas have a certain degree of external dependence, but the main body of China's energy consumption is coal
.
Domestic coal reserves are relatively abundant, and production capacity is relatively stable
.

Since the beginning of this year, coal production has maintained rapid growth
.
Raw coal production rose more than 10 percent in May, and coal price gains are falling
.
At the same time, we have also made positive progress
in the diversification of energy imports.
In particular, it is necessary to see that the current domestic new energy development maintains a rapid momentum, and the double-digit growth of clean energy power generation in May is conducive to ensuring the stability
of energy prices.

Fu Linghui believes that in general, although the prices of some energy products have risen due to international factors, the increase is significantly lower than the international level, and there are still good conditions for
energy supply and price stability.
