China’s Ministry⁢ of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Holds National Video ⁢Conference on Agricultural Production

On September 20, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural ⁣Affairs held a ‌national video conference on agricultural production during the “three autumns”. ⁢Han Jun, Secretary of the Party Committee and ⁣Minister of the Ministry, attended ⁣the meeting and delivered a speech. The​ meeting emphasized⁤ the importance of‌ implementing‍ the ‌arrangements of the State Council’s executive meeting and grasping​ the various tasks of ​autumn harvest and autumn planting.

The meeting pointed out that‍ the “three autumns” production⁣ is not only the final battle of grain production this year, but also the first season of ⁢harvesting a bumper harvest ‌next year. Agricultural and rural departments at all levels must deeply understand the importance of⁤ doing a good ‍job in this year’s “three autumns” agricultural production, and with a‍ high sense of political responsibility and a sense of urgency, make careful ⁢plans, do‍ a good job in autumn‍ management and harvest, promote autumn sowing ⁣and winter management without delay.

The meeting stressed that we must seize‌ the last window of​ opportunity, carefully manage‌ the late autumn grain ⁤field, continue to implement key measures to stabilize and increase production, and strive to increase grain ⁢weight and yield. We must ⁣make every effort to harvest autumn grains, closely follow weather changes and autumn harvest ​progress, give full play to the role of agricultural machinery as the main ‍force, strengthen the organization and dispatch of machinery, coordinate to ensure smooth transportation, and continue to do a good job in mechanized harvesting and loss reduction.

The meeting⁣ required that we should keep a ⁣close eye on outstanding ⁣problems and⁣ risks, and coordinate the key tasks of​ agricultural production in the “three autumns”. We ⁣should speed up the post-disaster production ⁢recovery in areas severely affected by the typhoon, and carry out​ work such as dredging and clearing silt in farmland, pest control, aquatic seedling‌ replenishment, and repair ⁣of damaged facilities.

The ⁢meeting was chaired by Zhang​ Xingwang, Vice‍ Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and⁢ Rural Affairs, and ‍attended by Tao Huaiying, ⁤Chief Veterinarian (Officer), and⁢ Pan⁣ Wenbo, Chief Agronomist.
