Let "rice bags" contain more "high-quality grains"

The Spring Festival is approaching.

From 90% to 98%: Enterprises are actively entering the market, and autumn grain purchases and sales are booming

Autumn grain accounts for three-quarters of China's annual grain, and is called the "ballast stone" of food security

At present, the purchase of autumn grain in the southern region is nearing completion, and the peak season purchase will end at the end of January

According to Qin Yuyun, Director of the Grain Reserve Department of the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves, at present, the total amount of grain purchased in China is at a normal level, and market purchases and sales are active

The latest data shows that as of January 5 this year, the enterprises in China's main grain producing areas have purchased 110 million tons of autumn grain, an increase of 5 million tons year-on-year

"From the perspective of the purchase of autumn grain this year, the characteristics of high quality and high price are more prominent

With the deepening of the reform of the grain procurement and storage system, grain farmers take the initiative to connect to the market.

"At present, the Northeast region is still in the peak season for purchases, and farmers still have a lot of surplus grain.

From "Eat enough" to "Eat well": Food security must be current, but also long-term

With the escalation of the consumption demand of the people, whether the Chinese rice bowl can be held up with more stable and powerful hands will not only allow the people to "eat well" but also "eat well", and let the "rice bags" contain more "high-quality food", showing The dialectics of "quantity" and "quality" from the perspective of the big food security concept

Since 2017, the central and local finances and society have invested more than 81.

According to Qian Yi, Director of the Planning and Construction Department of the State Bureau of Grain and Material Reserves, as of the end of 2020, 9238 high-quality food projects have been implemented in various regions, of which 8,888 have been under construction and 7,798 have been completed, with an operating rate of 96.

In Huzhou, Zhejiang, by supporting and cultivating the development of the whole grain industry chain, grain enterprises have solved the pain point of insufficient storage capacity, and grain depots have solved the problem of loss of grain reserves.

With the implementation of the high-quality grain project and the continuous deepening of the reform of the grain purchasing and storage system, the high-quality development of the grain industry has been promoted from point to aspect and comprehensively.

From high inventory to tight balance: market expectations are stable, and supply capacity is sufficient

In the face of the sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic, various localities have taken multiple measures to ensure the supply of grain and oil, safeguard food security, and lay a solid material foundation for ensuring stable economic and social development

"But we must also see that China's grain production and demand will still maintain a tight balance in the medium and long term, and there are still many potential hidden dangers that affect food security

According to Qin Yuyun, China’s grain inventories are currently at a relatively high level.

The two special surveys of farmers’ grain storage conducted by the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves last year showed that the grain storage in the hands of farmers has increased compared with normal years
.
Commodity inventory responds more flexibly to market demand.
Under the premise that the total inventory of the whole society remains high, China's grain inventory structure is further optimized, and the ability to resist market risks and maintain effective supply is further enhanced
.

According to Qin Yuyun, international food prices have risen to a certain extent recently, but from the perspective of the past 10 years, they are still at a relatively low level.
Imported grains have gradually arrived in Hong Kong, forming an effective supplement to the domestic market
.

"The Spring Festival is coming, and there is ample supply of grain and oil products in the market.
It is recommended that consumers purchase the New Year's goods in appropriate quantities according to their needs to avoid unnecessary losses and waste caused by large quantities of overdue storage
