At the recent National Agricultural Development Conference, the mainland's agriculture sector unveiled a series of strong measures aimed at significantly increasing farmers' income from growing grain by 2024, while focusing on increasing grain production, strengthening the soybean industry, and improving farmland and water infrastructure.
In order to make growing grain more profitable, the government plans to directly increase farmers' incomes by raising the price of grain purchases, increasing agricultural subsidies, and providing more favorable agricultural credit policies. These measures are aimed at stimulating farmers' enthusiasm for growing food crops and enhancing the economic efficiency of agriculture.
We will continue to increase grain production
In terms of food production, scientific and technological innovation will be a key driver. The government will increase investment in agricultural scientific research, promote new varieties of crops with high yields and high quality, and improve the management level of agricultural production. Agricultural technology extension and service systems will also be strengthened to ensure that farmers are able to use scientific methods to grow crops and thus increase food production.
Ensure soybean self-sufficiency
Soybean production is also a priority for agricultural development in 2024. In order to meet the growing demand for soybeans in the country, the government will encourage farmers to increase the acreage of soybeans and take measures to increase soybean yields. At the same time, the construction and upgrading of the soybean industry chain will also be supported by policies to increase the overall competitiveness of the industry.
Build high-standard farmland
The improvement of farmland water conservancy infrastructure is an important part of sustainable agricultural development. The government plans to vigorously promote the basic construction of water conservancy in farmland, ensure that farmland can receive sufficient water supply, and improve the ability of agriculture to resist drought and flood. In addition, the protection of agricultural resources and the promotion of environmentally friendly agriculture will also be emphasized to achieve sustainable development of agriculture.
To sum up, a blueprint for the mainland's agricultural development in 2024 has been drawn, focusing on the improvement of farmers' income from grain planting, the increase of grain production, the strengthening of the soybean industry, and the improvement of farmland and water conservancy infrastructure. These measures will strongly promote the development of mainland agriculture in a more prosperous and sustainable direction, ensure national food security, and promote agricultural modernization.
