Core Insights - A new "agricultural black technology base" has been launched in Huangjiaxi Village, Suzhou, which challenges traditional agricultural practices and emphasizes modernization through technology [1][2] - The facility has a total investment of 20 million yuan and covers an area of 6,534.30 square meters, with capabilities to dry 80 tons of rice and process 60 tons of rice daily [1] Group 1 - The facility features advanced drying machines that address inefficiencies of traditional sun-drying methods, ensuring timely drying and reducing grain loss [1] - Farmers can now sell rice instead of raw grains, effectively doubling their income [1] - The center aims to provide services to local smallholders, facilitating a shift from selling raw grains to selling processed rice, thus enhancing farmers' income [1] Group 2 - The center will also serve as an educational and experiential base, allowing children to engage with agricultural practices and appreciate farming culture [2] - Wujiang District has established 26 agricultural centers, equipped with 246 drying machines, achieving a daily drying capacity of 3,203 tons and a rice processing capacity of 999 tons, both of which have doubled since the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan [2] - Wujiang District has been recognized as a pilot area for comprehensive agricultural service center construction and as a model county for full mechanization of agricultural production [2]

Core Viewpoint - Shandong province emphasizes both increasing grain production and reducing losses, implementing comprehensive strategies to ensure food security and sustainability [1][3]. Grain Production - Shandong has maintained a stable grain production of over 110 billion jin for four consecutive years, with summer grain yield and total production growth ranking first in the country this year [3]. - The province's mechanization rate for wheat and corn planting and harvesting exceeds 98%, significantly reducing losses during harvesting [3][4]. - A reduction of 0.1 percentage points in wheat harvesting loss can recover over 50 million jin of grain, equivalent to planting over 60,000 mu of wheat [3]. Mechanization and Training - Continuous efforts in optimizing equipment and training machine operators have led to a decrease in average harvesting loss rates for wheat and corn to 0.81% and 1.57%, respectively, both below the targets of 1% and 2% [4]. - Compared to the previous year, wheat and corn harvesting loss rates decreased by 0.18 and 0.06 percentage points, translating to an increase in wheat and corn production of over 97 million jin and 32 million jin, respectively [4]. Grain Storage - The implementation of the "Green Storage Improvement Action" has led to the construction of high-standard grain warehouses and upgrades to existing facilities [4]. - The comprehensive loss rate for local grain reserves has been reduced to 0.38%, significantly below the national standard of 1% [4]. Grain Processing - Processing enterprises are adopting advanced techniques to maximize output, with some companies achieving an increase in flour yield from 77% to 79% through innovative processing methods [5]. - The average loss rate in the grain processing sector is maintained below 1%, with an overall utilization rate exceeding 98% [5]. Food Consumption - Shandong promotes initiatives like the "Clean Plate Campaign" and encourages the adoption of shared dining practices to reduce food waste [5]. - The province has seen a growing awareness of food conservation, with 6,830 large-scale dining establishments implementing shared dining systems [5].
