Core Insights - China's grain production has consistently remained above 1.3 trillion jin since the 14th Five-Year Plan, with a projected total output exceeding 1.4 trillion jin in 2024, marking a significant increase of 740 billion jin compared to 2020 [1][3]. Production and Yield - The summer grain harvest this year set a historical second-high record, with early rice yield surpassing 400 kg per mu, and the area for autumn crops showing stable growth [1]. - In Henan, a major grain-producing province, wheat yield is reported at over 1,100 jin per mu, while corn yield is expected to be around 1,200 jin per mu, maintaining levels similar to previous years despite drought challenges [2]. Policy and Support - The central government's policies have prioritized food security, with the implementation of the Food Security Guarantee Law and increased financial support for disaster prevention and production stabilization [3]. - The area of high-standard farmland has exceeded 1 billion mu, and over 80% of winter wheat has irrigation capabilities, enhancing resilience against drought [3]. Technological Advancements - Agricultural technology has significantly contributed to yield increases, with the contribution rate of agricultural technology progress reaching 63.2%, and the average grain yield per mu rising to 394.7 kg, an increase of 12.5 kg compared to the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan [6]. - New agricultural practices, including precision irrigation and the use of advanced machinery, have been widely adopted, leading to improved efficiency and productivity [6]. Sustainable Practices - The implementation of protective farming practices in Northeast China has improved soil health and reduced production costs, with over 1.12 million mu of black soil undergoing protective cultivation [4]. - The promotion of eco-friendly farming techniques has resulted in reduced fertilizer usage and increased profitability for farmers, with green rice fetching higher market prices [4]. Agricultural Workforce - The emergence of new farmers, such as young individuals taking over family farms, is reshaping agricultural practices and ensuring the continuity of grain production [8]. - The cultivation of over 9 million high-quality farmers and the establishment of cooperative farming models are enhancing the agricultural sector's capacity and sustainability [9]. Global Responsibility - China plays a significant role in global food security, producing over 20% of the world's grain with only 9% of the world's arable land and 6% of freshwater resources [10]. - The country has engaged in international cooperation for food security, implementing numerous aid projects in over 30 countries [10].
