National Development and Reform Commission: five major measures to deploy grain transportation

It has been learned from the National Development and Reform Commission that China's grain has increased for many years in a row, but the regional distribution of production, marketing and storage sites is uneven, and the task of transportation, especially the task of transferring grain storage under the national policy, is very arduous. the National Development and Reform Commission recently issued a circular to deploy grain transportation with five major measures.

First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the organization and coordination of grain transportation. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Finance, the State Grain Administration, the China Railway Corporation and the China Grain Storage Corporation have jointly established a coordination mechanism for grain transportation and formulated a comprehensive work plan and policy measures to ensure grain transportation. Coordinate and solve major problems.

The second is to do a good job in the deployment and collection of transport capacity and loading and unloading work. The circular requires that transport departments and enterprises should always regard grain as a key material, overcome difficulties, organize meticulously, and give priority to meeting the needs of grain transportation in terms of transport capacity. Grain enterprises should prepare sufficient manpower and machinery in advance, strengthen the organization of gathering, loading and unloading, and work day and night as far as possible when the task of dispatching is heavy, so as to speed up the speed of loading and unloading and improve the efficiency of vehicle and ship turnover.

The third is to ensure the safe transportation of grain. The circular requires all relevant departments to take practical and effective safety measures to ensure the safety of grain in and out of warehouses, gathering, loading and unloading and transportation.

The fourth is to adjust the transport demand and strive to achieve balanced transport. The notice said that due to the relatively limited railway transport capacity and the non-storage of transport capacity, the transfer of grain in a short time and large volume may lead to prominent contradictions in time-based transport. The relevant departments of development and reform, finance, and grain should strengthen overall planning, arrange grain allocation tasks in an early and balanced manner, and strive to achieve a balance between grain allocation and transportation, so as to avoid the situation of concentrated rush transportation of grain and massive crowding out of other material transport capacity.

Finally, great efforts should be made to develop bulk grain transportation. The circular requires that the transportation of bulk grain should be vigorously promoted in grain transportation. Transport and grain enterprises should actively develop equipment suitable for bulk grain loading, unloading and transportation, transform warehouse sites with large scale, and be equipped with facilities and equipment that can ship, pick up and unload bulk grain. The departments concerned should take measures to encourage the development of bulk grain transport by special ships, vehicles and containers, and strive to increase the proportion of bulk grain transport.
