How to achieve stable grain production and stable meat prices?

What is the current food production situation and how to ensure stable prices of agricultural products such as corn and pork? On April 20, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs responded at a press conference that the stable and increased production of food, the restoration of pig production, and the supply of food in the market are all guaranteed
.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs introduced that the current spring plowing and spring planting has entered a critical stage, and the current agricultural and rural economic situation is generally good
.

Annual grain output should be stabilized at more than 1.
3 trillion catties

1.
3 trillion catties is not only the first time that grain output has been included in the macroeconomic control target, but also the requirement for the implementation of the food security strategy during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period
.

Last year, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, spring ploughing encountered difficulties for a time

In the first quarter of this year, due to high and fluctuating corn prices, food supply issues have attracted much attention
.

The current corn price is still rising slightly, what is the food supply situation? Song Danyang, deputy director of the Department of Market and Information Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that according to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the operation of the corn market in the first quarter was roughly divided into two stages

"At present, the purchase price of corn in Northeast China is maintained at 1.
35-1.
4 yuan/kg, while the price in North China remains at 1.
45-1.
5 yuan/kg
.

At present, corn has only risen slightly

An authoritative information release system for the entire pig industry chain will soon be established

"The current pork price has dropped to the lowest point since the recovery of pig production capacity in this cycle
.

" Chen Guanghua, deputy director of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said at the meeting that the most tight period of pork supply has passed, and the supply will become more and more loose in the later period

In the first quarter of this year, "unstable" pork prices have also become the focus of attention
.

According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in the third week of April (April 12-18), the price of pork in the national bazaar was 38.

From the perspective of supply, pork prices may hardly reach their previous highs
.

According to Chen Guanghua, extrapolating from the number of newborn piglets in the previous period, it is expected that in the second quarter of this year, the year-on-year growth rate of fat pigs from large-scale pig farms across the country will reach 50%.

The high price of live pigs will drive up the price of pork, and the price of live pigs will fall too fast, which will put pig farmers into trouble
.

Chen Guanghua said that the price of pigs has indeed fallen a bit fast in recent months, and the price of pork has now fallen to the lowest point since the recovery of pig production capacity in this round

“At present, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is working with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs and the National Bureau of Statistics to establish an authoritative release system for the entire industry chain of pigs
.

Through a unified and authoritative release window, the information on the entire industry chain of pigs will be released to guide production entities.

The added value of the primary industry exceeded 1 trillion yuan in the first quarter

Zeng Yande, director of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the agricultural and rural economy performed well in the first quarter, with the primary industry added value of 1133.
2 billion yuan, an increase of 8.
1% year-on-year
.

.
It is worth noting that in the first quarter of this year, more funds flowed to agriculture
.
Zeng Yande said that in the first quarter, the added value of the national agricultural and sideline food processing industry increased by 15.
2% year-on-year
.
Agricultural investment has grown rapidly.
Fixed asset investment in the primary industry was 236.

69 billion, a year-on-year increase of 33.
8%; exports were US$18.
1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 11.
5%
.

In the future, the characteristic planting and breeding industries in poverty alleviated areas will usher in positive benefits
.
Zeng Yande said that the implementation of the characteristic planting and breeding industry promotion action was clearly put forward in the No.
1 Central Document this year, and the core task is to cultivate leading industries
.
In the next step, in terms of planning and guidance, guide poverty-stricken areas to formulate the "14th Five-Year" characteristic industry development plan; in terms of cultivating leading industries, guide poverty-stricken areas to rely on resource advantages and industrial foundations to cultivate a group of leaders with good growth and strong driving ability.
Industry: In terms of building platform carriers, support each poverty alleviation county to choose 1-2 leading industries to build agricultural product processing parks and modern agricultural industrial parks
.

“In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will strive to capture the summer grain and oil harvest, ensure that the production of'vegetable basket' products such as pigs are stabilized, vigorously implement rural construction actions, continue to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation, and ensure that grain output remains above 1.
3 trillion catties.
To ensure that there is no large-scale return to poverty, the production of live pigs will be restored to normal levels, and the income of farmers will continue to grow steadily, and efforts will be made to maintain the good momentum of agricultural and rural economic development
