The total output of summer grain in China in 2015 was 141.066 million tons.

In the first half of the year, under the continued pressure of slowing growth of the national economy, agricultural and rural development once again brought good news. China's summer grain production reached a total output of 141.066 million tons of summer grain, an increase of 4.47 million tons or 3.3% over 2014.

From an industrial point of view, the increase in summer grain production in 2015 benefited from the increase in area and per unit yield. The sown area of summer grain in 2015 was 27692.3 thousand hectares, an increase of 110.7 thousand hectares or 0.4 percent over 2014. Due to the increase in sown area, the output increased by 548000 tons, accounting for 12.3 percent of the increase. In 2015, the national yield of summer grain reached 5094.0 kg per hectare, an increase of 141.6 kg per hectare, or 2.9%, over the previous year. Due to the increase in per unit yield, the yield increased by 3.922 million tons, accounting for 87.7% of the increase.

From the external conditions of the industry, first, the state continues to implement the minimum purchase price policy in the main wheat producing areas, and in the autumn of 2014, the minimum purchase price for wheat in 2015 was formulated and announced, which played an important role in stabilizing the sown area of wheat. Second, the central government will continue to increase support for strengthening agriculture and benefiting farmers, and promptly allocate various subsidy funds such as grain direct subsidies and improved seed subsidies in 2015. Third, the structure of sown area is adjusted greatly. Mainly in the main summer grain producing areas, the planting area of cotton and summer harvest rapeseed was reduced, and the planting of summer grain such as wheat was increased.
