Author:Economic Daily Time:2022.09.13

Recently, the Ministry of Water Resources issued a notice of floods and droughts. Affected by the low rainfall and the low water level of the Yangtze River, the water level of Poyang Lake continued to decline.

"Drought and flooding in July 15th, the harvest of August 15th." The people take food as the sky. Food is a strategic industry that is safe and stable. It is the concern of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. What is the growth of food this year? What is the foundation of harvest? What can the recent autumn drought affect food? Let's look at this issue of Quick Questions ↓↓↓

Question: How is the growth of food this year?

Answer: Autumn grains in most areas across the country are better. The latest agricultural situation scheduling of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that currently corn, soybean and medium rice and other crops generally enter the ripening period of grouting. Except for local drought growth in the southern region, autumn grains in most areas in the country are better, especially those who account for more than half of the production of autumn grains. The growth of corn is better than last year, and the harvest has a foundation and hope.

Q: What is the foundation of harvest?

Answer: Thanks to the enthusiasm of policies and sowing, the construction of farmland has been accelerated. This year, the area of ​​food in autumn has increased steadily, and the production capacity continues to consolidate.

Policy support allows the area of ​​grain to be guaranteed. This year, the state continued to implement the minimum purchase price policy in the main production area. The minimum purchase price of rice and wheat has increased, and the market price of the three main grains is better. In response to the rise in agricultural capital prices and rising food costs, the Central Finance has repeatedly provided a one -time subsidy for the farmers breeding farmers. At the same time, the central government has issued a package of policy funds such as rice subsidy, corn soybean producer subsidy, cultivated land protection subsidies, grain production (oil) rewards. The country has also expanded the scope of the full cost insurance and the implementation of planting income insurance for the three major grain crops, so that the revenue of grain planting is basic guarantee.

The construction of farmland has enhanced the capacity of farming. According to the plan, this year, 100 million mu of high -standard farmland will be built across the country. Among them, the high -efficiency water -saving irrigation area will be 15 million mu. The construction of high -standard farmland plays an important role in enhancing agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities, achieving stable food production and increasing production, and is conducive to achieving high -quality construction, high -efficiency management, and high -level utilization.

Question: What can the recent autumn drought affect food?

Answer: Since July, the Yangtze River Basin has continued to have high temperatures and rain, the rivers are less water, the water level has continued to decline, and the drought development has developed very rapidly. At present, it is the critical stage of the production of autumn grain production. The Yangtze River Basin is an important food area in my country, especially the proportion of autumn grains, and it must not be neglected at all.

Corn is the most important autumn grain crops. This year, the area of ​​corn planting is generally stable. At present, most areas are grouting, and it is generally better. Among them, the production of corn production in the northeast accounted for about 45 % of the country. Since the spring sowing, it has a lot of temperature, more precipitation, and good feelings. The disaster is obviously lighter than all year round. Except for the partial due to the extension of waterlogging, most corn grows better last year. Essence Corn production in the Huanghuaihai area accounts for about 30 % of the country. Most areas are suitable, and corn is expected to achieve recoverable production. The corn output in the northwestern region accounts for about 13 % of the country. This year's drought is significantly light than last year and perennial year. It is expected to increase production. Corn production in the southern region accounts for about 13 % of the country. High temperature drought leads to local corn affected. The affected area of ​​more than 11 million mu, only 10 % of the southern corn area, the overall loss is limited.

Rice is 60 % of Chinese rations and is also important autumn food crops. This year, the area of ​​rice in the country is basically stable, and the early rice has been in harmony. At present, the rice grows in the northeast region. The middle rice in the south is affected by high temperature and drought. The losses are limited.

In addition, starting from August 25, high temperatures in most areas in the south have subsided, and multiple rounds of rainfall occurred, coupled with active drought watering in various places, relieved drought, which was conducive to the recovery and output formation of autumn grain crops.
