The general idea of agricultural adjustment has been formed to focus on reducing the planting area of corn.

Pan Wenbo, deputy director of the planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, recently revealed that the general idea of a new round of agricultural adjustment led by the Ministry of Agriculture has been formed. the next step will be in accordance with the grain safety strategy of "storing grain in the land" and "storing grain in technology". Adhere to the "market-oriented, science and technology-oriented, ecological protection priority", and increase production capacity Form the agricultural pattern of grain economy and feeding as a whole, the combination of planting and breeding, the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the integration of planting and breeding. He said that he hopes to maintain the self-sufficiency rate of rations at 100 per cent and the grain self-sufficiency rate at more than 95 per cent. At the same time, it is necessary to stabilize cotton, oil and sugar, the self-sufficiency rate of cotton should basically meet domestic consumption, and the self-sufficiency rate of edible oil should be stable at more than 30%.

According to the Economic Observer Network on December 3, Pan Wenbo made the above remarks while attending the "third China Food and Food Security Strategy Summit". He said that the focus of the new round of grain restructuring is to reduce the planting area of corn, and the key areas of the adjustment are "non-dominant areas." that is, the cold area in the northeast, the ecotone between agriculture and animal husbandry in the north, the arid area in the northwest, the area along the Taihang Mountains, and the stone desert area in the southwest. This part of the region is not only a typical dry farming area, but also an ecologically fragile area, but also a crisscross area of agriculture and animal husbandry, which has a strong demand for high-quality feed.

Pan Wenbo analysis said that on the whole, the demand of the domestic corn market will show rigid growth in the future, so it is necessary to stabilize corn production in the golden area of planting corn in the northeast. In the next step, the state will continue to increase investment in major grain producing areas and strengthen the production capacity construction of the three staple grains.
