It is urgent to strengthen the safety management of grain depots.

On October 8, a fire broke out in a grain depot in Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province. it was not until about 7: 00 on the 10th that the fire was put out and lasted for more than 50 hours. On May 31 last year, a fire broke out in the directly affiliated warehouse of China Grain Storage in Lindian, Heilongjiang Province, causing 40,000 tons of grain to overshoot. Now, more than a year later, a fire broke out again in the national reserve grain depot, resulting in a serious loss of grain inventory, which is regrettable!

October 16 is the 34th World Food Day, and the whole society is promoting the love of grain and saving grain. At present, the autumn harvest is entering a critical moment, and all parts of the country are going all out to return to the warehouse. Under this background, it is even more distressing to see the news that the grain has been engulfed by the fire!

Every grain is hard to come by. Farmers work hard to hit more than 1,000 jin of grain per mu a year, and scientific and technological workers work hard only to increase grain yield by a few percentage points. In every battle of "worms to seize grain" and "fight drought and protect grain", how many people stay awake all night and fight against disasters, just to recover even hundreds of tons of losses? today, a fire so easily torched tens of thousands of tons of grain and how many people's hard work. How can it be unbearable?

"Hong Fan eight politics, food as the head of government." Grain is not only a necessity for human survival and life, but also wealth and strategic materials. grain reserves are of great significance as a strategic reserve established by the country to stabilize grain market prices and deal with major natural disasters and emergencies. At present, with the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization in China, the sustained and rapid growth of grain demand, the intensification of rigid constraints on land and water resources, food supply and demand will be in a tight balance for a long time, and ensuring food security is the top priority of China's economic and social development. In order to maintain the defense line of food security, to firmly hold the rice bowls of the Chinese people in their own hands, and to fill the rice bowls with Chinese grain, over the years, from the central to local levels, party committees and government departments at all levels, the broad masses of agricultural workers, scientific and technological workers, and hundreds of millions of farmers, up and down can be said to be thinking, doing everything possible, and making untold hardships! At present, although China's grain production has had bumper harvests for many years and created the miracle of "ten consecutive increases", we must not forget history and be blindly optimistic on the grain issue, and we cannot forget the taste of starving yesterday when we are full today.If we cannot increase grain production year after year, we will not see the difficulty and pressure of ensuring food security in the future, and the task of ensuring food security is still very arduous.

The successive incidents of fire in the reserve granary have sounded the alarm and put forward higher requirements for the safety management of the granary in our country. China is the largest grain-producing country in the world. With the continuous development of agricultural production and the continuous increase of grain production for many years, the task of grain reserve is increasing day by day. In the future, with the rapid economic and social development in rural areas of our country, the number of grain farmers gradually decreases and the amount of grain stored by farmers decreases significantly, and more of their own grain will enter the large grain circulation. As a result, the proportion of people who need to rely on commodity grain security supply is increasing day by day, and the pressure and dependence on grain and oil enterprise warehousing are further increased. In such a situation, it is necessary to put forward higher requirements for the safety management of grain depots, and it is urgent to strengthen the safety management of grain depots. We should not only establish a complete set of daily management system, do a good job in risk assessment, material reserve, team building, and improve equipment under normal conditions, but also improve the ability to deal with emergencies such as earthquakes, fires, floods, and so on, and do a good job in pre-planning drills to prevent trouble. what's more, it is necessary to formulate a strict accountability system, give full play to the deterrent effect, and improve the work responsibility and consciousness of all aspects of personnel.

Successive incidents of fire in grain reserves also require us to further deepen our understanding of food security. Food security is more important than Mount Tai, focusing not only on planting and harvesting, but also on storage and management. Food security is not only a matter of production, grain depot security is also an important part of food security. Needless to say, in recent years, due to poor storage conditions, improper management and other reasons, there has been a serious loss of grain in the storage link, with worms, molds and quality deterioration and loss reaching millions of tons every year. If you add in the impact of sudden meteorological and geological disasters and major safety accidents such as fires, the amount of losses is even more astonishing! Under the new development situation, before the increasingly severe challenges to food security, we should have a more profound and three-dimensional understanding of food security, not only in production, but also in storage, transportation, storage and other links. Build the whole process, three-dimensional food security system.

As long as there is no major problem with grain, things in China will be stable. At present, China is in the critical stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and ensuring national food security is facing a new situation and tasks. We must accurately grasp the rich connotation of the national food security strategy under the new situation with a broader vision, grasp the implementation of the major tasks and measures of national food security with more practical and effective means, persist in increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and pay attention to production, storage and transportation at the same time, firmly tighten the string of food security in every step and link, and really build a solid building for China's food security.
