Sesame seeds are being updated, wheat is being upgraded... The Central Plains granary is truly in the middle!

Henan is not only a province with a large economy and population, but also a major grain producing province. Henan has a flat terrain and a suitable climate. The Yellow River has formed a large fertile plain, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture, both in terms of natural geography and climate conditions.

Henan uses 1/16 of the country's arable land to produce 1/10 of the country's grain and 1/4 of the country's wheat. Not only does it solve the food problem for 100 million people in the province, but it also transfers about 60 billion kilograms of raw grain and its finished products every year, making it one of the five provinces with net grain exports in the country. Henan's grain production has remained stable at over 130 billion kilograms for six consecutive years, ranking among the top in the country.

Autumn Grain "awesome"! Strive to achieve a total annual production of over 130 billion kilograms by supplementing summer with autumn

This year, the autumn grain area in Henan continued to stabilize at over 76 million mu, slightly increasing compared to last year. Among them, the corn area is over 57 million mu. To achieve high yields in corn, dense planting is the key. The average planting density in Henan this year has reached over 4400 plants per mu, an increase of over 200 plants compared to the previous year, laying the foundation for a bountiful harvest.

This year, in order to promote the increase of autumn grain yield, Henan has also arranged more than 400 million yuan in funding, selecting 20 counties to promote the integration of yield improvement and 55 counties to carry out yield improvement projects for large-scale grain and oil production, and carrying out yield improvement actions to drive a large-scale and balanced increase in autumn grain production.

Sesame, open the door! New varieties suitable for machine harvesting are moving towards full mechanization

Henan is not only a major province of grain in China, but also a major province of oil crops, with sesame planting area ranking first in the country. This year, the planting area of sesame in Henan is about 1.7 million mu, accounting for about one-third of the national total.

For a long time, the varieties used in sesame production in China have generally had inconsistent grain maturity, resulting in "frying at the first ripening" and "dropping at the first touch", making it impossible to use mechanical harvesting and greatly limiting the development of sesame production.

Now in Henan, the emergence of new varieties of sesame that are suitable for machine harvesting and the use of fully mechanized sesame production technology have completely changed the situation. The situation where manual harvesting of sesame seeds used to be time-consuming, laborious, and prone to losses has become a thing of the past. New varieties, new machinery, sesame production, brand new debut, shining debut!

Upgrading the Wheat Industry Chain with the "Password" of High Quality, Specialized, Stable and Increased Production

The planting area of grain in Henan has remained stable at over 160 million mu throughout the year, of which the wheat area has remained stable at over 85 million mu, ranking first in the country. How to make this "ace" shine even brighter? High quality wheat undoubtedly plays a leading role.

What can wheat be made into? Sweet and soft cakes, chewy bread, and refreshing noodles... With the changing consumer demand in the market, high-quality wheat varieties have become a must-have. Henan has been increasing the planting area of high-quality specialized wheat year by year, gradually forming a high-quality wheat supply system, and making the "Yumai" brand famous nationwide. How to make good use of good wheat, such as grain, food, and agricultural products? We also need to rely on deep processing, and the longer the industrial chain, the better!

Mantou "fire out of the circle"! More nutritious and healthier, rediscovering the "taste of childhood"

Do you know? One out of every four Mantou on the market is produced in Henan. From "having enough food" to "eating well" to "eating more" and "eating healthily", consumers have higher requirements for good food materials, fine craftsmanship and various tastes, and Mantou has more and more patterns. From the fields to the dining table, Henan firmly holds the "rice bowl" of the Chinese people.

There are many delicious foods in the Central Plains granary

In addition to grain bags, Henan is also the country's meat plate, milk bottle, and fruit basket. Throughout the year, the province's oil production exceeded 6.8 million tons, vegetable production exceeded 76 million tons, melon and fruit production exceeded 15 million tons, total pig, beef, sheep, and poultry meat production exceeded 6.5 million tons, and milk production exceeded 2.1 million tons, all ranking among the top in the country.
