Pressing down grades and prices, and violating fees can be reported... Henan takes multiple measures to ensure the weather for summer grain procurement | wheat | summer grain
The continuous rainy weather has put the summer grain procurement work to the test. In order to conscientiously carry out the summer grain procurement work in 2023, on June 2, the reporter learned from the Henan Provincial Grain and Material Reserve Bureau that, in accordance with the deployment of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, excessive wheat that can only be used as feed and industrial grain will be classified and purchased by the local government to strictly prevent unqualified grain from flowing into the grain market and maximize the protection of the interests of grain farmers.
At present, the grain and material reserve departments in the province are actively organizing market-oriented procurement, strengthening monitoring, early warning, and information dissemination of the wheat market, guiding local state-owned grain enterprises, government reserve rotation enterprises at all levels, and other market entities that have signed collection and storage agreements to enter the market for procurement, ensuring smooth and orderly procurement activities. Build a purchasing and sales docking platform, actively connect with large grain consuming enterprises inside and outside the province, and achieve stable channels for production and sales cooperation. At the same time, strengthen the quality inspection of wheat and timely organize the quality inspection of newly harvested wheat. In response to the damage of wheat caused by cloudy and rainy weather, the Provincial Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, together with the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, and the Henan Branch of the Agricultural Development Bank of China, issued a notice on further improving the summer grain procurement work, clarifying the principles for identifying and disposing of damaged wheat, and requiring all regions to conscientiously implement the Henan Province Management Measures for the Disposal of Excess Grain and properly carry out the procurement work. For wheat that meets the edible standards, actively organize production and sales coordination, and guide the implementation of market-oriented procurement; For excessive wheat that can only be used as feed and industrial grain, the local government shall classify and purchase it, strictly prevent unqualified grain from entering the grain market, and maximize the protection of the interests of grain farmers.
At the same time, our province is prepared to launch policy based acquisitions at any time, guarding the bottom line of farmers being able to sell their crops. The minimum purchase price for wheat announced by the state in 2023 is 1.17 yuan/jin. In order to ensure that the policy of minimum purchase price for wheat fully plays a policy support role, the Provincial Grain and Material Reserve Bureau will strengthen cooperation with relevant departments such as the Henan Branch of China Grain Reserves Corporation to formulate a minimum purchase price work plan, organize the filing of grain purchase qualifications, require all regions to start price monitoring in a timely manner, determine storage points in advance, and reasonably set up purchase points to ensure that once conditions are met, it can be immediately launched, and safeguard the bottom line of farmers' ability to sell their crops. At the same time, in conjunction with market regulatory departments, we will strengthen the law enforcement supervision of summer grain procurement, focus on investigating and punishing violations such as grading and price reduction, issuing "white bars", illegal charging, and cheating using weighing instruments, in order to maintain good market order. At present, local state-owned grain enterprises in the province have prepared warehouses for the purchase of 44 billion kilograms of summer grain, preparing to purchase 26000 sets of equipment, 10000 sets of testing and testing equipment, and 3600 sets of cleaning equipment. The Henan Provincial Branch of Agricultural Development Bank of China has prepared an initial acquisition fund of 50 billion yuan, which can meet the acquisition needs.
The grain and material reserve departments at all levels will conscientiously fulfill their duties, facilitate consultation, communication, and complaint reporting channels, and promptly accept public demands. Intensify the "double random and one public" spot check efforts, strengthen the "four no's and two direct" covert investigation and undercover investigation, achieve full coverage of supervision and inspection of enterprises participating in acquisitions, eliminate regulatory blind spots, and resolutely maintain the order of acquisitions. At present, the grain and material reserve departments at the provincial, municipal, and county levels have set up summer grain purchase consultation and complaint hotline. The acceptance hotline of the Provincial Grain and Material Reserve Bureau is: for policy consultation on weekdays, you can call 0371-65683100, for complaints and reports, you can call 0371-65683884, and for other times, you can call 0371-65683884. The Provincial Grain and Material Reserve Bureau is determined to investigate all illegal and irregular behaviors reported and will not tolerate them.

Grabbing and grabbing, Henan regards wheat harvesting as the top priority in the current province. As of 17:00 on June 2nd, the province has harvested 34.99 million mu of wheat, accounting for approximately 41% of the planting area. Among them, the wheat harvest progress of Nanyang, Xinyang, and Zhumadian in the three cities of southern Henan has exceeded 80%; The machine harvested area of Nanyang is 10.74 million mu, accounting for 96.7% of the planting area, and the large head has basically landed.
Since the wheat harvest battle in our province on May 31st, the machine harvested area on June 1st and 2nd has exceeded 10 million mu. On June 2nd, 15.43 million mu of wheat was harvested, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the province's wheat planting area in one day. A daily investment of 138500 combine harvesters was made.
While rushing to harvest, our province is accelerating the drying and drying of wheat. 4660 drying machines operate non-stop day and night; In front and behind the house, on rural roads, and on cultural squares, freshly harvested wet wheat is hung to dry. In response to the damage of wheat caused by cloudy and rainy weather, the Provincial Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, together with the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, and the Henan Branch of the Agricultural Development Bank of China, has clarified the principles for identifying and disposing of damaged wheat. It is required that all regions conscientiously implement the "Management Measures for the Disposal of Excess Grain in Henan Province" and properly carry out the procurement work. To ensure the income of wheat farmers, the Provincial Department of Finance issued a notice requiring all agricultural insurance underwriting institutions to make every effort to handle wheat insurance claims.
"The current wheat harvest in southern Henan is about to hit the ground, and the harvested wet wheat needs to be dried and dried as soon as possible. All drying equipment should be turned on at full power to ensure that people do not stop working. Various public places should be fully utilized, and more public spaces should be opened up to provide space for wheat drying." said Guo Tiancai, consultant of the Wheat Expert Guidance Group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and professor of Henan Agricultural University.
Guo Tiancai suggested that after the wheat harvest in southern Henan has landed, areas such as central, eastern, western, and northern Henan should seize the sunny weather to rush to harvest. They should organize the rush to harvest according to the order of seed fields, normal fields, sprouted fields, and sprouted fields. Relevant departments should scientifically, accurately, and orderly do a good job in agricultural machinery scheduling, so that one acre can be rushed to harvest, and one extra point can be collected.
Summer harvest is linked to summer planting. Guo Tiancai reminds us to seize the favorable opportunity of sufficient soil moisture after wheat harvest, plant enough and good autumn crops, scientifically manage the fields, strive to supplement summer with autumn, ensure stable annual grain production, and minimize the impact of wheat loss on the total annual grain production.
