Release Date:2021-12-19
National grain production in 2021 reached a new record high
-- Wang Minghua, deputy director of the Rural Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, explains the situation of grain production
National grain production data released by the National Bureau of Statistics show that the total national grain output in 2021 was 68.285 billion kg, 13.35 billion kg more than the previous year, an increase of 2.0%, and the annual grain production reached a new record high, remaining above 0.65 trillion kg for seven consecutive years. Among them, the autumn grain production 50.89 billion kg, 9.5 billion kg more than the previous year, an increase of 1.9%.
First, the grain sown area increased by 12.95 million acres, an increase of 0.7%
In 2021, around the layers of responsibility for food production, the implementation of the strictest arable land protection system, resolutely curb the arable land "non-agricultural", to prevent "non-food", further increase support for food production, support the reclamation of abandoned land, the development of winter fields, to improve Farmers' enthusiasm to grow food. National grain sown area of 1.764 billion acres, an increase of 12.95 million acres over the previous year, an increase of 0.7%, for the second consecutive year to achieve growth.
(一) corn, wheat sown area increased, rice slightly decreased. 2021, the national grain sown area of 1.503 billion acres, an increase of 33.2 million acres over the previous year, an increase of 2.3%. Since last year, corn prices rose sharply, the planting benefits improved, farmers are willing to plant corn to enhance the national corn sown area reached 650 million acres, an increase of 30.9 million acres over the previous year, an increase of 5.0%. Affected by the sowing of soil moisture and planting benefits tend to be good and other favorable factors, wheat sowing area of 354 million acres, an increase of 2.83 million acres over the previous year, an increase of 0.8%, reversing the momentum of four consecutive years of decline in area. Rice sowing area of 449 million acres, 2.31 million acres less than the previous year, a decline of 0.5%.
(二) the area of beans fell, potatoes increased steadily. 2021, the national bean sowing area of 152 million acres, down 22.09 million acres from the previous year, a decline of 12.7%. Among them, soybean sowing area of 126 million acres, 22 million acres less than the previous year, down 14.8%, mainly due to the low return on soybeans compared with corn, farmers are less willing to plant. National potato sowing area of 110 million acres, 1.84 million acres more than the previous year, an increase of 1.7%.
Second, grain yields increased by 4.8 kg, an increase of 1.2%
In 2021, although extreme heavy rainfall in Henan and other places caused by flooding, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia local areas in the northwest stage of drought, autumn harvest period in northern China and the Yellow river and Huaihai regions have a series of rainy weather, autumn grain in some areas have a certain impact, but the country's major agricultural areas for most of the time light, temperature and water match well, meteorological conditions are generally conducive to food crop growth and development and yield formation. At the same time, the expansion of high-yielding crops corn sown area, accounting for the proportion of grain crops to increase the proportion of grain yields. Grain yield real cut and measured sample survey shows that in 2021, the national grain crop yield of 387 kg per acre, the yield per acre than the previous year increased by 4.8 kg, an increase of 1.2%.
(一) wheat, rice yields increased, corn slightly reduced. 2021, the national cereal yields 421 kg per acre, the yield per mu than the previous year increased by 1.4 kg, an increase of 0.3%. Among them, the rice yield of 474 kg per acre, per acre yield increased by 4.6 kg over the previous year, an increase of 1.0%; wheat yield of 387 kg per acre, per acre yield increased by 4.6 kg over the previous year, an increase of 1.2%. Affected by flooding in Henan and other areas of the Yellow river basin and Huaihai Sea, the national corn yield of 419 kg / mu, per mu yield decreased by 1.7 kg over the previous year, down 0.4%.
(二) Bean yields fell, potatoes increased slightly. 2021, the national bean yields 129 kg per acre, the yield per acre than the previous year decreased by 2.1 kg, down 1.6%. Among them, soybean yields 130 kg per acre, per acre yield than the previous year, a decrease of 2.3 kg, down 1.8%. National yields of 277 kilograms per mu of potatoes, the yield per mu than the previous year increased by 0.5 kilograms, an increase of 0.2%.
Third, total grain production increased by 13.4 billion kg, an increase of 2.0%
In 2021, summer grain and early rice production of 146 billion kg and 28 billion kg, respectively, an increase of 3.1 billion kg and 0.7 billion kg over the previous year; autumn grain production of 50.89 billion kg, an increase of 9.6 billion kg over the previous year. Total annual grain production reached 68.29 billion kg, 13.4 billion kg more than the previous year, an increase of 2.0%.
(一) rice, wheat and corn production all achieved an increase. 2021, the national cereal production 63.28 billion kg, an increase of 16 billion kg over the previous year, an increase of 2.6%. Among them, rice production 212.9 billion kg, an increase of 2 billion kg over the previous year, an increase of 0.5%; wheat production 137 billion kg, an increase of 2.7 billion kg over the previous year, an increase of 2.0%; corn production 272.6 billion kg, an increase of 11.9 billion kg over the previous year, an increase of 4.6%.
(二) beans decreased significantly, potato production increased. 2021, the national output of 19.6 billion kg of beans, 3.2 billion kg less than the previous year, a decline of 14.1%. Among them, soybean production 16.4 billion kg, 3.2 billion kg less than the previous year, a decline of 16.4%. National potato production 30.5 billion kg, 0.55 billion kg more than the previous year, an increase of 1.9%.
(三)The three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia contributed more to the increase in production. The country's 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), there are 27 food production. Among them, the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia region, a combined increase in production amounted to 9.4 billion kg, the national contribution to the increase in food production of 70.3%. Xinjiang, Anhui, Hunan, Sichuan and Shandong all increased production of more than 0.5 billion kg. Affected by extreme heavy rainfall, Henan provinces was severely affected by the disaster, reducing production by 2.8 billion kg.
In 2021, the national grain harvest, grain production for seven consecutive years stable at more than 0.65 trillion kg, to ensure national food security, to deal with the complex and changing situation at home and abroad, to overcome various risk challenges to provide strong support for the "14th Five-Year Plan" to start a good start, a good start, to promote high-quality economic and social development, to build a new development The pattern laid a solid foundation.
Note: The national summer grain data was revised according to the actual wheat production in Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other parts of the country.
