Agricultural experts discuss the hidden worries of food security and be vigilant after the "twelve consecutive increases"

"China's grain production has had a bumper harvest for 12 consecutive years, and the annual output has reached about 1.2 trillion jin, but the hidden worries about food security will not be completely eliminated." Wang Julu, president of China's well-off construction, said here.

At the national high-end forum on investment and innovation in major grain-producing counties hosted by the China well-off Construction Research Association held here, some agricultural experts, including Wang Julu, generally expressed concern about stabilizing grain income in the future.

"China's grain production has achieved'12 consecutive increases', and the achievements are not easy to come by. However, we should also guard against the current tendency of neglecting grain production, and we must further strengthen the construction of grain production capacity. " Chen Mengshan, secretary of the leading party group of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, believes that after China's grain growth has been achieved year after year, some localities and departments have shown a tendency to ignore grain production and reduce agricultural input, especially since the beginning of autumn. the prices of corn and wheat in China's grain production areas have fallen to varying degrees, which has affected the enthusiasm and willingness of farmers to grow grain next year.

Duan Yingbi, president of the China Poverty Alleviation Foundation, warned against food security from the perspective of historical lessons. He believes that at present, China's agricultural production is undergoing the third round of structural adjustment since reform and opening up, and although the first two structural adjustments have achieved certain results, they have sent a signal to farmers to "depress output." the situation of two grain production reductions has been formed.

Experts attending the meeting held that it is necessary to consolidate the foundation of food security, firmly hold the rice bowls of the Chinese people in their own hands, and pay special attention to the production capacity and investment construction of major grain-producing counties in China.

Experts believe that in order to stabilize the current grain production capacity, increasing the production capacity of major grain-producing counties is the key. However, it is difficult to achieve this goal by relying on the self-capital and self-accumulation of the major grain-producing counties. it is necessary to consider the innovation of the investment system, strengthen the support to the major grain-producing counties, and finally consolidate and improve the national grain production capacity.
