China’s‍ Grain Production Achieves Outstanding ⁢Development​ in 75 Years

Significant Increase in Grain Production and Yield per Unit Area

According⁤ to a series of​ reports on the achievements of economic and social development of New China ​in the past 75 years, released by the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s⁣ grain production ⁢has achieved outstanding development, and food‍ security has been effectively guaranteed. ‍In 2023, grain production reached 1,390.8 billion ‌kilograms, an increase of more than 1 trillion kilograms or 5.1 times compared with 1949.⁤ The grain yield per unit area has⁣ also ⁣increased significantly, with the⁣ national grain yield per unit‍ area reaching 389.7 kilograms/mu in 2023, an increase of 321.1 kilograms/mu compared with 1949.

Agriculture as the Foundation of ⁤People’s Security and the Key to Governing the Country

As a ‍large agricultural country, China has ⁢always focused on agriculture as the foundation of people’s security and the key to ​governing the⁣ country. Since the⁣ 18th National‌ Congress of the Communist Party of China,⁤ the Party Central Committee and the State Council have continuously issued policies to support and ⁣benefit⁣ agriculture. Various regions and departments have conscientiously implemented these policies, ‌leading to increased agricultural ⁣economic activities and a more⁢ optimized industrial structure.

Food Safety as the Top Priority

Food safety is considered the most⁤ important thing ⁢in a country. All regions have always tightened the constraints of food safety and food production control, achieving remarkable results. In ⁤2023, the total‍ output‌ value of ⁣agriculture, forestry, livestock, and fisheries reached 15,850.7 billion⁣ yuan, an increase of 15,804.6 billion yuan compared to 46.1 billion yuan in 1952.

Development of Agricultural Science and Technology

The ⁣development​ of agricultural science and technology in China has made great progress in the past 75‍ years. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the⁣ country has accelerated ⁣the realization of high-level scientific and ⁣technological self-sufficiency, ‍cultivated and developed new agricultural productivity, and ​accelerated the development ⁣of agricultural science and technology. In 2023, the national rate of contribution ‍to the progress of⁢ agricultural science and technology reached 63.2%, an increase of 8.7 percentage points compared with 2012.

Ensuring Food Security from ‌a Strategic​ Perspective

Despite the achievements in grain production, China must ensure food security from a strategic perspective. The country must be‍ aware of the ⁣challenges posed by‌ internal and external‍ issues such as politics,‍ economics, and climate, and take measures to consolidate all-round food security and achieve long-term results.

Implementing the Most ⁤Stringent Farmland ⁤Protection System

To ensure food security, China must implement the ‌most⁤ stringent farmland protection system. The country will resolutely safeguard⁣ 1.8 billion acres of cultivated⁣ land, the “lifeblood” of grain production, and make good use of scientific and technological means to ⁤improve the level of mechanized operations.

Developing Intelligent Agriculture and Scientific and Technological Agriculture

Looking to⁢ the‌ future, China must always keep‌ in mind the importance⁤ of food ‍security ⁤and effectively strengthen the protection of cultivated land. The country will establish a “big‌ food concept”, make good use of the “grain law”, implement the⁣ “grain policy”, and vigorously develop intelligent agriculture and scientific and technological agriculture to safeguard national ​food security at a high level.
