Stable Autumn and Winter "Vegetable Basket", People's Daily Review: Focus on Agricultural Disaster Prevention and Reduction in Rural Areas | Vegetables | Vegetable Basket
Recently, due to the impact of typhoons, extreme heavy rainfall has occurred in North China, Huanghuai, Northeast and other areas, causing damage to vegetable facilities and flooding of vegetable fields. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently issued an emergency notice, requiring all levels of agricultural and rural departments to strengthen guidance and effectively carry out disaster prevention and reduction as well as autumn and winter vegetable production.
The "vegetable basket" is closely related to the daily life of the people, and is related to the stability of prices. It cannot tolerate any carelessness. Given the adverse impact of extreme weather on the current local vegetable supply and the significant pressure it will bring to ensuring the supply and stable prices of autumn and winter vegetables nationwide, various regions should effectively improve their political stance, strengthen the mayoral responsibility system of "vegetable baskets", and make vegetable stable production and supply an important task in agricultural and rural work. We should coordinate and grasp various work such as production development, production and sales connection, circulation and transportation, market regulation, quality and safety, stabilize the "vegetable baskets" of the masses, and protect the "wallets" of farmers.
To strengthen agricultural disaster resistance and reduction, the first step is to do a good job in field drainage and management. The notice requires timely drainage and soil moisture reduction in the open field, reducing the water level and soil moisture content in the field, and preparing for autumn sowing. At present, it is not possible to sow fields. It is recommended to organize centralized seedling cultivation and transplant them in a timely manner. Strengthen the drainage and drainage of the facilities, discharge the open water inside the shed, and gradually reduce the soil moisture when the weather is clear and sunny. Various regions should combine actual conditions, scientifically implement agricultural disaster resistance and reduction measures, strengthen moisture reduction and disease prevention measures, and strive to tap into the potential of vegetable production, laying a solid foundation for stable production in the autumn and winter "vegetable basket".
Scientific guidance for autumn sowing and zoning of policies to ensure good production are equally essential. Agricultural and rural departments in various regions should guide farmers to use suitable weather conditions and promptly clear crops for land preparation. We also need to strengthen the analysis of the supply and demand situation of different types of vegetables, and guide the cultivation of different types and growth stages of vegetable varieties. The vegetable production areas of "transporting vegetables from the south to the north" should fully leverage the advantages of winter light and temperature in the southern region, tap into winter fallow field resources, and expand winter vegetable production according to local conditions. The northern facility vegetable production area aims to steadily develop energy-saving and efficient modern facility vegetable production, and increase the supply of fresh vegetables in winter and spring. In short, it is necessary to ensure that vegetable fields are fully planted and stored on the ground, while also implementing classification guidance and ensuring an orderly "relay" of vegetable supply. Furthermore, it is necessary to further coordinate production and sales between the south and the north, ensure the needs of the northern people, and increase the income of southern farmers.
For consumers, the "vegetable basket" products are only counted at their own dining table, which requires the smooth and efficient circulation of vegetables as the "main artery". Agricultural and rural departments at all levels should cooperate with transportation, public security and other departments to implement the "green channel" policy for the transportation of fresh agricultural products, reduce circulation costs, promote cold chain transportation for freshness preservation, and improve circulation efficiency. Ensure the rapid transportation of fresh agricultural products between regions, and achieve the production, transportation, and supply of fresh vegetables.
The modernization and scientific management level of agriculture in our country is steadily improving, and we have the ability to do a good job in various aspects of agricultural disaster resistance and reduction. It is necessary for relevant departments in various regions to enhance their sense of responsibility for ensuring the supply of vegetables, fully resolve the adverse effects of disasters, effectively stabilize the production of autumn and winter vegetables, ensure the supply of tables for urban and rural residents, allow the general public to eat fresh vegetables with peace of mind, and continuously consolidate and enhance the happiness and security of the people.
