Jilin focuses on the construction of good farmland to help stabilize and increase grain production. Jilin | Cultivated land | Good farmland
CCTV News: Jilin has implemented the strategy of "storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology", making every effort to improve the quality of arable land, tap into the potential of comprehensive utilization of saline alkali land, and help stabilize and increase grain production.
In the past two days, the standardized corn production base in Lishu County, Jilin Province has been carrying out plant protection operations. Through the widespread use of technologies such as straw returning and no till sowing, soil fertility and grain yield have significantly improved.

Deepening the implementation of the black soil protection project, currently, the protected cultivation area in Jilin has reached 33 million mu, accounting for more than one-third of the grain sowing area. Focusing on issues such as thinning and hardening of the black soil layer, Jilin has also organized key enterprises and research institutes to carry out collaborative research and development, accelerate the research and promotion of advanced supporting agricultural machinery, and promote the standardization, scaling, and digitization of black soil protection and utilization.
While increasing the yield of existing arable land, Jilin is also actively exploring the potential for new arable land. In the western part of Jilin, many soils here have low grain yields due to heavy salt content and high alkalinity. In recent years, the local government has accelerated the implementation of saline alkali land improvement projects, breeding and promoting salt alkali resistant and characteristic varieties. Currently, nearly 2.1 million acres of saline alkali land have been improved.

This year, the goal of Jilin's grain production is to continue to remain stable at over 80 billion catties, and strive to achieve a total grain output of 100 billion catties by 2035.
