Beijing, September 24 (Xinhua) — China expects a bumper grain harvest this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced on Tuesday.
Nearly 20 percent of the autumn grain harvest has now been collected nationwide. A stable spring grain harvest and an increase in the early rice yield have laid a solid foundation for the annual grain harvest, despite the droughts and floods that occurred earlier this year, the ministry reported.
According to the ministry, the summer harvest amounted to 149.74 million tons, and the early rice harvest amounted to 28.52 million tons, which is 340 thousand tons more year-on-year.
Summer harvests form the basis of China's annual grain production, and planting areas have been expanded, with yields exceeding average levels.
Technological advances were a key factor in the increase in grain yields, contributing 63.2 percent to the total. New varieties of corn, soybeans, and rice developed by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences contributed significantly to the increase in grain yields.
Modern agricultural machinery, such as hybrid tractors and gardening robots, is also used to increase efficiency.
Higher-quality and more efficient agricultural processing has also led to a significant increase in farmers' incomes. In 2024, per capita disposable income in rural areas rose to 23,119 yuan (approximately $3,254), and more than 100,000 large agricultural processing enterprises operated nationwide, each with an annual turnover of at least 20 million yuan in their core business.
China has taken measures to boost agricultural consumption, with leading e-commerce companies launching promotions and financial institutions offering incentives. In July, the central government released a plan to further boost agricultural consumption, aiming to optimize supply, improve distribution, and stimulate market demand.
