September 23 is the fifth harvest festival for Chinese farmers. In the early autumn, in the vast fields, agricultural machinery gallops vertically and horizontally, farmers work hard, and the fields are very busy. According to the latest agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, 236 million mu of autumn grains have been harvested across the country, nearly 20% of which have been completed. The first victory in autumn grain production has laid the foundation for a bumper grain harvest throughout the year, injected confidence, and demonstrated the background and quality of the "Rice bowl Chinese".
Cang Lin is real, the world is safe. Since the beginning of this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important instructions on food security and rural revitalization many times during his inspections in Sichuan, Xinjiang, and other places, which fully reflects his consistent attention to the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" and food security, the "bigger of the country". I am here. For China, with a population of 1.4 billion, the basic status of agriculture cannot be ignored or weakened at any time. It is the truth at any time to have food in hand and not to panic.
Harvest Festival for Chinese Farmers
Food security is a top priority for the national economy and people's livelihood. It is the foundation of national security and a long-term challenge faced by the international community. After years of hard work, China has solved the problem of feeding 1/5 of the world's population with 9% of the world's arable land and 6% of the world's freshwater resources.
In 2021, China's grain sown area will be 1.764 billion mu, an increase of 12.95 million mu over the previous year; the total grain output has reached a new high of 1,365.7 billion catties, increasing production and harvesting for 18 consecutive years. In 2021, China's per capita grain possession will reach 483 kilograms, much higher than the international safety standard of 400 kilograms per capita; China's grain self-sufficiency rate has always remained above 95%, ensuring the basic self-sufficiency of grains. Facts have proved that China's food security situation is at its best in history, and China has the ability to firmly hold the rice bowl in its own hands.
A hard work, a harvest. This year's autumn harvest is hard-won, and behind every harvest is the careful drip irrigation from all over the country. Since the beginning of this year, the international grain market has been turbulent, the world situation is complex and changeable, and the domestic new crown epidemic has repeated, all of which have brought unprecedented pressure to the bumper grain harvest.
Consolidate the cornerstone of food security and stabilize the "Rice bowl Chinese"
Faced with the severe situation, all regions and departments in China have taken vigorous and unconventional measures to strive for a bumper grain harvest. In order to alleviate the impact of rising agricultural material prices on spring plowing production, at the beginning of the year, the central government issued a fund of 20 billion yuan to provide a one-time subsidy to the actual grain farmers, and put 1 million tons of national potash fertilizer reserves;
The risk of distribution and the supply chain of international agricultural products has increased sharply. China's railway department has implemented preferential policies for the transportation of agricultural materials and overcome the difficulties of the epidemic to provide a green channel for the transportation of agricultural materials such as fertilizers.
Among them, the railway department in the Yangtze River Delta region shipped 201,000 agricultural materials such as fertilizers in April. ton, a year-on-year increase of 252.3%... This series of deployments minimized the impact of adverse factors on grain production and ensured that the annual grain output remained above 1.3 trillion catties.
The concern of the Party Central Committee and the concern of all sectors of society have laid a solid foundation for a bumper harvest. However, a bumper grain harvest is inseparable from the hard work of the farmers who guard the fields. The cold early morning, the dark winter night, the sweat under the scorching sun, the neat seedlings in the sunset...
Rice bowl Chinese
A pair of hands, sowing hope among the ridges, and two feet, stepping into the future in the land. A bumper harvest is in the hard work; the bumper harvest in hard work; the bumper harvest is in the spring and autumn; the bumper harvest is in the hands of Chinese farmers. It is the yearning and dedication of countless Chinese farmers for a better life that makes food security within reach and a better life just around the corner.
The Chinese Farmers Harvest Festival is not only a day for hundreds of millions of farmers to celebrate and enjoy the harvest, but also a vivid embodiment of the harvest of grains and the prosperity of the country and the people. Salute to the hard-working farmers. All parties in China work together to build a solid national food security defense line, consolidate the foundation of food security, and make the ballast stone more stable. In this way, China will be more confident in coping with various risks and challenges and pursuing a better life. (Editor in charge: Leshui Anran Yuxin)
