In 70 years, China's annual grain production has increased nearly fivefold

, Beijing, Sept. 22 (Xinhua Yu Wenjing) September 23 will usher in a harvest festival for Chinese farmers, the joy of the harvest is Shendian - 70 years since the founding of New China, China's annual grain production has increased nearly fivefold, from 194 In 9 years, 226.36 billion pounds increased to 131.578 billion pounds in 2018, and the annual per capita share more than doubled, from more than 400 pounds to more than 900 pounds, higher than the world average.
70 years, China's food production has been making continuous progress, if we take hundreds of billions of pounds as a step calculation, has stepped up to 11 new levels, from the shortage of supply to the basic balance between supply and demand. Among them, grain production in 1996 historically exceeded the 1 trillion catties mark, and from 2012 to 2018 production remained at more than 1200 billion catties. Since 2004, food production has achieved "15 consecutive abundances".
hard-won achievements in stabilizing the harvest, both to overcome frequent natural disasters and pests and diseases, but also to face increasingly tight soil and water resources, to address price and cost pressures. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has adhered to the national food security strategy of "focusing on me, based on domestic, ensuring production capacity, moderate imports, and scientific and technological support", and maintained the self-se ratio of rice, wheat and maize at more than 98%. As it turns out Chinese's job is always firmly in your hands.
behind the solidity of the warehouse is the continuous improvement of infrastructure and the continuous improvement of scientific and technological capabilities. The effective irrigation area of farmland exceeds 1 billion mu, wheat production is basically mechanized, corn and rice cultivation and harvest comprehensive mechanization rate is more than 80%, the main crop varieties are basically fully covered, scientific fertilization, water-saving irrigation, green prevention and control and other technologies are widely popularized.
70 years, Chinese bowls of grain varieties from thick to fine to coarse, the number from less to more to less, people pay more and more attention to thick matching, less and more refined. The change of a bowl of rice reflects the improvement of people's living standard and social change.
Guoxiang, a
