In the fields of hope, a bountiful autumn harvest is in sight across the country
CCTV News: This year, China has achieved a bountiful summer harvest and increased early rice production. At present, a bountiful autumn harvest is in sight, and the annual grain production situation is good.
The latest agricultural situation dispatch from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the autumn harvest in China has reached nearly 20%, and more than half of the autumn harvest in the southwest region. In Changshun County, Guizhou Province, more than 16 million yuan of funds have been integrated this year to continuously improve agricultural infrastructure and supporting agricultural machinery, resulting in new improvements in the production efficiency and quality of rice.
The early maturing rice varieties in the Northeast Plain have already harvested. In Tieli City, Heilongjiang Province, after 4 years of research and development and cultivation, cold rice has been tested and produced on site, with an average yield of 1261 jin per mu, an increase of over 10% compared to last year.
Potatoes in North China and Northwest China are also being harvested continuously. This year, Shanxi Province continues to promote the construction of processing potato planting bases, expanding the planting area from 1 county to 11 counties. Based on the harvest situation, the 110000 mu of processing potatoes in the province are generally growing well.
Since the beginning of this year, various regions have stabilized land area, increased yield per unit area, timely and effectively responded to natural disasters, and laid the foundation for a bountiful grain harvest throughout the year.
During the summer harvest, various regions strive to overcome the impact of disasters such as "rotten fields and rain", and make every effort to ensure timely harvesting of summer grain and the return of grains to storage. The summer grain production is 292.3 billion catties, ranking second in history and still the harvest season.
This year, the area of early rice in China has reached over 71 million mu, basically maintaining stability, and achieving dual growth in yield per unit and total yield.
This year, the autumn grain area reached 1.31 billion mu, an increase of about 7 million mu compared to the previous year, of which the high-yield crop corn area increased by 13 million mu. The area of soybeans has slightly increased, and the area of soybean corn strip compound planting has expanded to 20 million mu, an increase of 5 million mu compared to the previous year.
This year, China has launched a large-scale increase in yield, with a focus on setting up 43 soybean technology integration innovation centers, production area centers, and sub centers for the two crops of soybean and corn, and formulating technical plans according to regions. At the same time, 200 corn producing counties were selected to carry out high-yield creation demonstrations. At present, the average corn planting density in these demonstration areas has increased by 500-800 plants, laying the foundation for a bountiful harvest.
