"Twelfth Five-Year Plan" and "National Grain Production Project" started in Beijing

The 13 major grain producing provinces (regions) are Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

“Under the current situation that international food prices have risen sharply, market supply has tightened, and the food security situation is extremely tight, it is necessary to recognize the new situation faced by China’s food security in the 12th Five-Year Plan and fully deploy systematically grain science and technology work.” Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang said.

He put forward five requirements for the "12th Five-Year Plan" grain science and technology work. The first is to raise awareness; the second is to highlight scientific and technological innovation, promote the integration of high-yield food technology and increase production in large areas; the third is to encourage and support scientific and technological personnel to go to the frontline of the rural grassroots; fourth is to strengthen the construction of food production and high-tech science and technology bases, platforms, and personnel; Increase food science and technology investment.

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the “National Scientific Project for High-yield Food Production” highlighted the "three major crops" of rice, wheat, and corn, based on the "Three Great Plains" of the Northeast, North China, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and strengthened the research field, core area, and demonstration area. , radiation area "a field three areas" construction.

In the past five years, with science and technology innovation as the core, government guidance and market integration as the mainstay, namely the "one machine and two wings" of rural science and technology innovation and entrepreneurial action, has promoted the effective implementation of the "national grain production science and technology project."

According to statistics, through the implementation of the project, the country has accumulated an area of ​​835 million mu in the “three districts” and increased production of more than 46.66 million tons of grain in five years. The increase in grain production accounts for more than 17% of the country’s total over the same period; the increase in the unit production is 2.7 of the national average. Times.

In addition, the project has led to the integration of 180 sets of high-yield, high-yield and high-yield cultivation techniques for grain crops with regional characteristics, which has increased the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers in the core area by more than 10%, decreased the use of pesticides by more than 25%, reduced disaster losses by more than 15%, and created the Yangtze River. The single-season rice production exceeds 900 kg in the single-season rice, 1,325 kg in the double-season rice, 750 kg in the wheat in the Huang-Huai-Hai region, and 1,700 kg in the winter wheat/summer corn per year. This is to achieve food production increase and protection. National food security provides strong technical support.

Food is a strategic commodity that ensures life, prices, and people's confidence. To ensure food security is a top priority for the people's livelihood. China has proposed the goal of adding 100 billion kilograms of grain by 2020.
