On June 15, Fu Linghui, a spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a press conference that since the beginning of this year, the complex and severe international situation, especially the intensification of geopolitical conflicts, has led to a sharp rise in international commodity prices, especially food and energy prices. Raised everyone’s attention to food security. As things stand, geopolitical conflicts have led to increased global impact on Russian and Ukrainian food production. Faced with this situation, many countries have introduced measures to restrict grain exports, further exacerbating the contradiction between supply and demand, and global grain prices continue to run high.
Fu Linghui said that my country continues to increase measures to stabilize food production. In general, we have been attaching great importance to food production and food security in recent years. my country’s grain output has stabilized at more than 1.3 trillion kilograms for seven consecutive years, and grain stocks are relatively abundant. Although recently affected by international factors, domestic grain prices have risen, but the magnitude is significantly lower than the international level. Judging from the current situation, the production of summer grains is already in the harvest stage, and a better harvest is expected. Last year, due to the severe autumn flood, the planting period was postponed in some areas, and the seedling situation was complicated. But this year, the overall climatic conditions are good, field management has been strengthened in all aspects, and the guidance for personnel production has been strengthened.
Fu Linghui said that, of course, the current international environment is relatively complicated. In the next stage, we must continue to focus on grain production, further reduce the pressure on agricultural production caused by rising prices of agricultural materials, and ensure stable growth of grain output throughout the year.
