The per capita share of grain in China is close to 900 jin, the highest in history.

Yu Xinrong, vice minister of agriculture, said at a press conference of the third session of the 12th National people's Congress on the 6th that the food security situation in China is constantly improving. Not only the total grain output and grain output per unit unit have reached new highs, but also the per capita grain share has also reached the highest level in history, close to 900 jin.

The per capita share of grain in China is close to 900 jin, the highest in history.

Yu Xinrong said: in 2014, China overcame the effects of severe drought in some areas and a variety of natural disasters, and achieved an "eleventh consecutive increase" in total grain output. It set three new highs: first, the total grain output reached a new high, reaching 1.2142 trillion jin; second, the grain output per unit area reached a new high, reaching 359kg per mu; and third, the per capita share of grain was the highest in history, close to 900jin.

He pointed out: China's total grain output has reached the level of 1 trillion jin for eight consecutive years, 1.1 trillion jin for four consecutive years, and 1.2 trillion jin for two consecutive years, which further shows that China's grain production capacity has steadily reached a relatively high level of development.

"the Chinese people's rice bowls should always be firmly in their own hands, and the rice bowls are mainly filled with Chinese food." Yu Xinrong said: in order to ensure "basic self-sufficiency in grain and absolute safety in grain rations," it is necessary to protect and mobilize the enthusiasm of the broad masses of farmers to work in agriculture and grow grain, so as to make grain production a respected profession and a profession that can become rich. it is necessary to protect and mobilize the enthusiasm of local governments in major grain-producing areas to attach importance to agriculture, so that major grain-producing areas have political honor, economic benefits and work motivation. It is necessary to enhance the ability of basic grain security, properly implement the plan for permanent basic farmland, build a number of high-standard farmland with drought and waterlogging, and store grain on the ground; enhance the supporting capacity of science and technology, and speed up the development of modern seed industry. we will further promote the popularization and application of agricultural science and technology and realize the storage of grain in technology.
