The overall deviation of climate in China during the flood season this year, drought and flood disasters will be more serious than those in China.

At present, China has entered the flood season one after another from south to north, and agricultural flood control and drought relief has entered a critical stage. On May 12, the Ministry of Agriculture held a leading group meeting on flood control and drought relief to study and implement the spirit of Vice Premier Wang Yang's important speech at the first plenary meeting of the State General Administration of Flood Control and drought Relief in 2015, analyze the situation of agricultural flood control and drought relief this year, and make arrangements for disaster prevention and reduction. Yu Xinrong, vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and head of the Ministry's leading group for flood control and drought relief, stressed that agricultural departments at all levels should, with a high degree of self-consciousness and courage, do a good job of disaster prevention and reduction, plan as soon as possible, respond scientifically, strengthen their responsibilities, and pay close attention to implementation. to win the initiative to achieve the goal of stabilizing grain income and agricultural transformation.

Yu Xinrong pointed out that to actively adapt to the new normal of economic development, it is necessary to strengthen disaster prevention and reduction to ensure a bumper harvest and strengthen the strength to deal with the complex economic situation. To achieve the goal of stabilizing grain income and promoting structural adjustment and transformation, we also need to do a good job in disaster prevention and reduction and grasp the initiative. The overall deviation of China's climate during the flood season this year, and the drought and flood disasters will be more serious than last year. In particular, the current El Nino event is still continuing, there may be "flood in the south and drought in the north" in summer, and the task of agricultural disaster prevention and reduction is very arduous. We must firmly establish the idea of resisting disasters and winning a bumper harvest, do a good job of disaster prevention and reduction with a high degree of consciousness and courage, earnestly reduce the impact of disasters, and ensure the safety of agricultural production.

Yu Xinrong demanded that agricultural departments at all levels unswervingly stabilize their goal of increasing grain income, intensify their work, strengthen guidance and services, and solidly promote the implementation of measures for disaster prevention and reduction. First, the responsibility should be clearly defined at an early date. Strengthen coordination, cooperate closely, earnestly perform duties, and ensure that responsibilities and measures are in place. Second, the preliminary plan should be prepared in advance. Organize experts to formulate and improve disaster prevention and mitigation plans, and prepare technology and materials in advance for different regions and different types of disasters. Third, measures should be implemented early. Pay close attention to major weather changes, give full play to the role of information technology such as remote sensing and the Internet of things, timely grasp soil moisture, seedlings and disasters, timely release early warning information, and implement defense measures in advance. Strengthen emergency duty, start emergency response at the right time, and immediately send working groups and expert guidance teams to the disaster areas to guide the implementation of disaster prevention and mitigation measures. Fourth, guidance should be put in place early. Give full play to the strength of experts from various industries, scientifically assess the impact of disasters, formulate technical plans for disaster relief, strengthen classified guidance, and implement key technologies for disaster prevention and mitigation. At the same time, actively strive for the support of finance and other departments. Fifth, propaganda should be planned early. Strengthen the propaganda and guidance of disaster prevention and reduction work, pay close attention to the network public opinion, strengthen propaganda planning, innovate propaganda methods, adhere to rapid response, active guidance and positive propaganda, and create a good atmosphere conducive to agricultural production.

Yu Xinrong stressed that the current period is not only a critical period for the formation of summer grain production, but also an important period for spring ploughing and spring sowing. Agricultural departments at all levels should strengthen guidance services and implement key measures to lay the foundation for a bumper grain and agricultural harvest for the whole year. First, we should pay close attention to the late management of summer grain and plan the production of "three summers" as soon as possible. We will focus on implementing the subsidy policy of "one spray and three precautions" to increase grain weight and per unit yield. Make preparations for the "three summers" as soon as possible, arrange summer harvest and summer seeds, carefully organize cross-district machine harvesting, and realize granule return to warehouse. Second, we should pay close attention to the implementation of the spring sowing area and make every effort to win a bumper harvest of autumn grain. We will continue to step up efforts, pay close attention to the implementation of policies, optimize the planting structure, give full play to the role of agricultural machinery, speed up sowing progress, improve sowing quality, and ensure timely sowing and sowing the whole seedling. Third, highlight the key areas and guard against summer drought and early frost in northeast China as soon as possible. Strengthen disaster dispatching, strengthen guidance services, and ensure the safety of flood and agricultural production. In particular, we should pay close attention to the northeast region and make preparations for preventing summer drought and early frost as soon as possible to ensure safety and maturity.
