China's Harvest Map: A Summer Warehouse with Wind Blowing Wheat Waves. This week | Wheat | Map
CCTV News: Summer grain harvest is busy, and all grains are returned to the warehouse. Let's continue to open this week's China Harvest Map and visit farmland in various places to experience the joy and busyness of summer harvest.
This week, the wheat harvest in various regions continues to be in full swing. As of 17:00 on June 10th, a total of 224.42 million mu of winter wheat has been harvested nationwide, with a harvest progress of 73.71%. The wheat harvest in Anhui has basically ended, and the wheat harvest in Henan is coming to an end. The progress in Jiangsu is nearly 80%, Shaanxi is over 50%, Shandong is over 40%, Hebei is over 20%, and Shanxi is over 10%.
Let's take a practical look at the current Central Plains land. In each wheat harvest area, the wind blows and the wheat waves turn golden everywhere, becoming the most beautiful scene in the summer.
After a moment of wheat ripening, the value lies in the competition. The meaning is that wheat ripens quickly and can undergo changes at noon, reminding people to harvest it in a timely manner. Therefore, in the endless wheat fields, the harvester carefully and responsibly sweeps the earth, leaving behind a golden hope all the way.
On the map of China, wheat is distributed from north to south. The flat and vast Huanghuaihai Plain is the largest and highest yielding wheat region in China. The total area of winter wheat planted in five major wheat producing provinces exceeds 70% of the national wheat production, with a yield of nearly 80%. This place is located in a warm temperate zone with long exposure to sunlight, and the climate is suitable for wheat growth; The flat terrain is also conducive to large-scale mechanical operations.
When it comes to the "C position" in these large granaries, Henan is undoubtedly the most "middle" "Central Plains granary". The annual wheat production in Henan has exceeded 38 million tons since 2021, accounting for nearly 1/4 of China's total and ranking first in the country.
Standing in Henan and looking north, the line of sight crosses the Great Wall, and the fragrance of wheat drifts to the Sanjiang Plain in Heilongjiang Province, which is the easternmost point of Chinese wheat. The hard red spring wheat produced is of excellent quality, no less than imported wheat.
Turning around and looking west, thousands of years ago, the first stop for wheat to arrive in China from the Western Regions was dotted with wheat waves on the land of Kashgar. The extremely high yield of wheat here also made Xinjiang's Nang diverse.
In the Hetao area of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, the wheat produced has a high protein content and is an excellent high gluten flour. "Hetao Snow Flour Powder" made of wheat cob has become a bowl of Lamian Noodles noodles in northwest China.
In the Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi Province, wheat on both sides of the Wei River has become the soul of Guanzhong cuisine such as trouser belt noodles, saozi noodles, Bi á ngBi á ng noodles, as well as large bowls of stewed noodles from Henan people, Mantou and steamed buns from Shandong people... Pasta has become an important window to open Chinese culture.
Looking further south, in contrast to the high gluten and medium gluten wheat in the north, the south of the Yangtze River has contributed the best weak gluten wheat in the country, which is an important raw material for cakes, biscuits, sanzi, egg tarts, pastry Dim sum and other pasta snacks.
Although there is a characteristic of "south to north" among the people, the wheat production in Jiangsu and Anhui is not insignificant, ranking among the top five in the country year-round, with a production of over ten million tons.
Nowadays, the annual production of wheat in China is stable at over 100 million tons, and it is in a basic supply-demand balance. Moreover, the yield of wheat per mu reaches 390.4 kilograms, ranking first among countries producing wheat in the world.
From not having enough to eat to being the world's number one, the golden wheat fields outline the veins and palms of China, and also support the confidence of China's food security.
