State Grain Administration: 282.1 billion jin of summer grain this year set a record high for autumn grain to buy land.

On the morning of the 9th, the State Grain Administration announced the progress of China's summer grain acquisition and autumn grain purchase preparations this year.

This year, China's summer grain output reached a new high of 282.1 billion jin, an increase of 8.9 billion jin over the same period last year. At the same time, the purchase of summer grain in the main producing areas is progressing smoothly. At present, the peak summer acquisition season is basically over, and the purchase volume of wheat and early indica rice in the main producing areas this year showed a downward trend compared with the same period last year.

Qin Yuyun, deputy inspector of the Regulation and Control Department of the State Grain Administration, said that according to statistics, as of September 30, 11 major producing areas, including Hebei, had purchased a total of 132.6 billion jin of wheat, a decrease of 14.6 billion jin over the same period last year, and eight major producing areas such as Jiangxi had purchased 15.9 billion jin of early indica rice, a decrease of 1.1 billion jin over the same period last year. The main reason for the decrease in acquisitions is that more imperfect grains of wheat have exceeded the standard due to continuous overcast and rain during harvest in some areas.

In addition, the purchase of autumn grain is an important part of grain purchase throughout the year. At present, the preparatory work in various localities is basically ready, and the purchase of autumn grain is being carried out one after another. Qin Yuyun, deputy inspector of the Regulation and Control Department of the State Grain Administration, said that at present, the acquisition of middle and late indica rice is off to a good start.

Qin Yuyun said that at present, the new production of medium and late indica rice in southern China has been put on the market, and Anhui, Sichuan and Hubei provinces have launched plans for the implementation of the lowest purchase price for middle and late rice. According to statistics, as of September 30, Jiangsu and other six major producing areas had purchased 29 jin of medium and late indica rice, an increase of 800 million jin over the same period last year.

In terms of temporary collection and storage of corn, the temporary purchase of corn this year began on November 1, with a purchase price of 1 yuan per jin.

Qin Yuyun told reporters that Cofco as the main body of policy implementation, COFCO, AVIC, and AVIC as supplementary forces, were entrusted with the task of collecting and storing corn. At the same time, this year's temporary corn collection and storage strictly implemented the national quality standards, and the corn that did not meet the quality requirements was purchased by local governments.

Gu Hongming, deputy director of the research office of the General Office of the China Grain Storage Corporation, said that this year, the policy-based grain acquisition card system will be comprehensively promoted and applied in autumn grain purchase, covering all 15 provinces and regions that carry out the task of supporting cities and temporary storage.

Qin Yuyun pointed out that directly subordinate enterprises should uniformly undertake loans, settle accounts, and pay for the acquisition funds of all entrusted storage points, and change the previous "unified loan management" to "unified loan unified management" to strengthen supervision and control over the collection and storage behavior and acquisition rhythm of entrusted storage points, so as to prevent the occurrence of violations.
