The Ministry of Agriculture strives to stabilize the wheat area in five provinces at about 240 million mu

Report from our correspondent on October 15, the Ministry of Agriculture held a symposium on wheat production and development in Huanghuaihai area in Hebei Province. Yu Xinrong, vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, stressed at the meeting that wheat production development and stable area are important prerequisites, and improving yield per unit area is the fundamental way. In the future, according to the general idea of "stabilizing area, focusing on yield, improving quality, reducing costs, improving efficiency, increasing investment and improving ability", efforts should be made to stabilize planting area, strengthen policy propaganda and information guidance, arrange planting structure, guide farmers to plant a variety of wheat and wheat, and strive to stabilize wheat area in Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces at about 240 million mu.

Yu Xinrong pointed out that wheat is an important ration variety and must be based on domestic self-sufficiency; Huanghuaihai area is an advantageous wheat producing area and must be brave to undertake heavy responsibilities. To promote the stable development of wheat production, we should not only summarize the successful experience of popularization, but also pay attention to solving the problems of water resource restriction, disaster impact, low benefit, shallow tillage layer, large sowing amount and low seed supply rate, so as to promote the sustained and stable yield increase of wheat.

In addition, he also said, Efforts should be made to strengthen infrastructure construction, New batch of drought and flood guaranteed yield of high-standard farmland, Improve cultivated land quality, Strengthen agricultural machinery equipment, Strengthen the ability to resist natural disasters; Efforts should be made to promote scientific and technological innovation, Speed up the breeding of a number of new varieties of cold resistance, drought tolerance, disease resistance and heat resistance, Integrate a batch of regional, standardized high-yield and high-efficiency technical models, To provide technical support for wheat sustained and stable yield increase; Efforts should be made to promote disaster prevention and mitigation, focusing on four key links: fine land preparation, proper sowing, pest control and "one spray and three prevention", so as to actively avoid disasters, scientifically resist disasters and effectively mitigate the impact of disasters; efforts should be made to promote scale management, accelerate the cultivation of new business entities, build a new business service system, and improve the scale, organization and specialization of wheat production.
