Can the "nine consecutive increase" look at this spring

This year, grain production must maintain stable production at a high base of “Eight Increases”, and this will increase the difficulty. Grasping the production of spring plowing and winning the first battle for the production of summer grain is the basis for achieving the goal of grain production throughout the year.

“The spring equinox came up and it was worth a thousand dollars.” As the weather gets warmer, winter wheat that has returned to green has been dyed green. From the Jiangnan Water Township to the northeastern black land, from the southwestern mountainous region to the North China Plain, spring agricultural production is in full swing. This year's first agricultural production has been fully started.

The climax of production started

The one-year plan is spring. The spring is an important period for the management of winter crops, and it is also the key season for the autumn seed crops to grow seedlings. It is a time when the farming season is very busy during the year and it is also a critical season for agricultural production throughout the year. The spring sown grain area accounts for more than half of the whole year, and grasping the spring plowing production has a major bearing on the summer grain and oil harvest. Grasping spring field management and spring farming production is the foundation and prerequisite for winning harvest of food and agriculture for the whole year, and it is also a key measure for the state to manage inflation expectations and maintain stable and rapid economic development.

Statistics show that in 2011 China’s prices rose rapidly, and the consumer price index rose by 5.4%. The increase in food prices driven by a variety of factors has an important impact on prices; at the same time, the prices of major international agricultural products still operate at high levels that have been rising for many years. 2011 The annual cereal price index has increased to the highest level since the 1970s. With the increase in the prices of agricultural products in domestic and foreign markets, if China's food crops fall, the risk of agricultural product markets will expand rapidly, putting even greater pressure on stabilizing prices.

Although China's total grain output has reached 114.24 billion jins last year, achieving the first consecutive eight-year increase in production for half a century, “but the pattern of tight grain supply and demand in China remains unchanged, and the foundation for grain production is still not solid, maintaining a high base. The difficulty of stable development will increase. This year we must achieve a target of 4% price adjustment, and we must ensure that agriculture regains a bumper harvest.” Han Changfu, Minister of Agriculture, said that the current downward pressure on China’s economic growth coexists with upward pressure on prices, and food and agricultural production are guaranteed. The basic industries of increasing, stabilizing prices, reassuring people, and increasing confidence have an irreplaceable key role in relieving "double pressure." Han Changfu said that the Ministry of Agriculture has determined that every year this year will do everything possible to ensure that the country’s grain output is stable at more than 1,050 billion kilograms, and the first test to win the harvest of the whole year is whether the summer grain harvest can be achieved.

Obviously, whether or not it is possible to maintain stable production and thus achieve "nine consecutive increases," it is crucial to grasp spring cropping and strive for a good summer harvest. Only by winning the first round can we lay a solid foundation for achieving the goal of food production throughout the year.

Coexistence of opportunities and challenges

According to Ye Zhenqin, Director of the Department of Farming of the Ministry of Agriculture, the start of spring plowing this year is generally smooth, and the basis for summer grain and oil production is good. Due to the good mood during the autumn and winter of last year, high quality sowing and technical measures in place, the growth of winter wheat and rapeseed is a better year in recent years.

However, this year's spring plowing is also facing some unfavorable factors. In particular, the impact of meteorological disasters is still outstanding. Due to the low temperature and low sunshine in the south, the winter wheat fields in the north meet with spring drought, and the spring plowing operation has been postponed.

According to the forecast of the China Meteorological Administration, most of China’s spring weather has less rainfall, warmer temperatures and slower climate conditions than in the previous year; drought conditions continue in the northeast and southwestern parts of the country, and severe droughts are more likely in the Northeast China; North China and Yellow are expected. Spring drought may occur in most parts of Huai River, Huaihe River, and central and eastern parts of South China, affecting the turning green of winter wheat and getting jointed. There is a wide range of continuous low temperature, rain, and sunshine in the south, which is detrimental to rapeseed production and affects early rice planting and breeding. According to the person in charge of the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, since last winter, precipitation in some parts of the northeast, southwest, and north China has been severely low, and the amount of water flowing from rivers has dropped, leading to a serious shortage of water for water conservancy projects. About 18 million mu.

The drought-resistant and low-temperature-resistant, Baochunchunchunbaochun task is arduous, and the price increase of agricultural production materials also has adverse effects. All localities reported that the general increase in the prices of fertilizers and other agricultural materials this year will boost the increase in agricultural production costs. According to the National Agricultural Technology Promotion Center's survey of 104 counties in 13 provinces, the price increase of several major agricultural materials in February was all above 3%. Moreover, with the gradual recovery of temperatures, wheat diseases and pests are severe in some areas. As of March 15, there were cumulative 80.3 million acres of wheat diseases and insect pests across the country.

Although there are many unfavorable factors, the practice of “eight consecutive years” in food has proved that “good policy” is a magic weapon for doing a good job in agricultural production. This year, the Central Government further consolidated and strengthened the policy of strong peasants, farmers, and rich peasants, and issued the ninth central document on agriculture in the new century, namely, “Several Opinions on Accelerating Agricultural Technology Innovation and Continuously Improving the Supply Ability of Agricultural Products.” Not long ago, Wen Jiabao In this year’s government work report, the premier once again stressed that he must “promote stable agricultural development and continuous increase in farmers’ incomes” and made it clear that the central government’s investment in agriculture, rural areas and farmers will be allocated 122.87 billion yuan this year, an increase of 186.8 billion yuan from the previous year. yuan. The state has not only increased the intensity of agricultural subsidies, but also supported the central government's advance financing of 132.5 billion yuan in direct subsidies, comprehensive agricultural subsidies, high-quality subsidies, agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, and high-yield production. The country also announced the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice as soon as possible, and raised the purchase price separately.

These policies and measures have released to the society a strong signal that the central government should continue to support peasants and support agriculture, effectively protecting and mobilizing the enthusiasm of local governments for cultivating crops for agriculture, scientific and technological personnel for grain production, and peasants for farming and growing grain. The intentional planting area will increase by 0.37% over the previous year.

"People work hard" becomes a key factor

With good policies, people still need to work hard. "People's efforts" is a key factor in doing a good job in agricultural production. From the central government to local governments, from the grassroots cadres to the peasants, an upsurge of spring agricultural production is on the rise.

As early as January of this year, in order to fully protect the production and circulation of chemical fertilizers in spring, the National Development and Reform Commission issued joint circulars requesting that the supply of fertilizers for the spring plowing in 2012 be well done, as well as coal and gas oil and gas transportation support departments such as the Ministry of Agriculture, PetroChina, and Sinopec. The member units of the inter- national coordination mechanism have coordinated arrangements for strengthening the supply-demand connection, increasing the supply of resources, and providing services relating to rural areas and farmers.

Just after the first lunar month of the lunar calendar, 123 cadres and agricultural technicians of the Ministry of Agriculture divided into 30 groups and went to rural areas for a month-long household survey. One of the important tasks is to carry out spring agricultural production and technical services, mobilize farmers to manage fields early, manage as early as possible, and urge local governments to do a good job of spring plowing and ploughing. At the same time, we will do our best to implement the spring broadcast area. The planting area of ​​spring sown food crops was stable at 920 million mu and the annual grain sown area was stable at 1.658 billion mu. To this end, we must vigorously promote science and technology to enter villages and households, large-scale the establishment of high-yield production of grain, cotton, oil, and sugar, integrate and popularize advanced and practical technologies, improve the technology's availability, and promote large-area balanced production. The Ministry of Agriculture has launched the "Agricultural Science and Technology Promotion Year" campaign throughout the country, extensively carrying out various forms of scientific and technological services, and agricultural science and technology personnel going to the countryside to direct farmers to implement various agricultural technologies.

All localities have actively implemented the policy of strengthening agriculture, benefiting agriculture, and investing in agriculture, and early deployment of spring plowing and ploughing. The winter training of farmers has been carried out in a down-to-earth manner, and the construction of farmland water conservancy in spring has been strengthened to ensure adequate supply of agricultural resources and the maintenance of agricultural machinery has been put in place. Hunan Province increased the grain production award fund from 34 million yuan to 40 million yuan. The new part is mainly used to reward large grain producers. Henan Province has organized more than 13,000 agricultural scientists and technicians to conduct technical services in rural areas.

The departments of agriculture, industry and commerce, public security, and quality inspection jointly carried out special rectification actions against counterfeiting agricultural materials, severely cracked down on illegal acts such as the production and sale of counterfeit agricultural materials, and purify the agricultural capital market, so that farmers can use farm chemicals with confidence. Regarding the situation of urgent shortage of spring plows and shortage of labor, Zong Jinyao, Director of the Department of Agricultural Mechanization Management of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that he will focus on tractors, ploughing machines, sowing machines, transplanting machines, etc. to guide farmers to actively purchase machines, and strive to increase The amount of equipment for spring plowing and ploughing is put into use, and full-scale role of various agricultural machinery service organizations is exerted to organize cross-regional operations of agricultural machinery. Regarding this year's agricultural conditions and seedling conditions, local governments are phasing out the spring planting spring tube technology plan, because of the land, due to flooding, due to seedlings, because of good fertilizer and water management.

Chunhua Qiushi, people have created new hopes in the land that has created a miraculous "eight-time increase" in food!
