Friends, recently looking at the data of the outbreak of the epidemic abroad, is it a fear in my heart. So some people spread rumors of food crisis, and everyone must not be deceived!
Recently, there have been voices on the Internet calling on netizens to "go to the supermarket to buy some rice and stock up on the amount for three months." The reason for this is that the rumored outbreak could trigger a global food crisis.
Many netizens confirmed that their supermarkets and grain and oil markets have people hoarding goods.
Everyone's reaction to this matter is different, some netizens said that people around them are hoarding, but they can't understand. Will there be a food crisis in our country? Wang Liaowei, senior economist of the National Grain and Oil Information Center, said
China has achieved "basic self-sufficiency in grain and absolute security of rations"
With the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic around the world, some grain exporting countries sent out information restricting exports, Wang Liaowei, senior economist of the National Grain and Oil Information Center, said on the 28th that China has achieved "basic self-sufficiency in grain and absolute security of rations", and the overall supply and demand of grain is relaxed, which can fully meet the daily consumption needs of the people and effectively cope with the test of major natural disasters and emergencies.

Q: If some grain exporting countries restrict exports, will it have an impact on the rice bags of the chinese people?
A: As covid-19 spreads around the world, Vietnam recently announced a moratorium on rice exports. Vietnam exports about 7 million tons of rice per year, accounting for about 15% of world trade, and restricting exports may cause fluctuations in rice prices in the international market. Some food-exporting countries may also take measures to restrict exports in order to ensure domestic supply. Of course, this should not normally happen.
In 2019, China imported only 480,000 tons of Vietnamese rice, the lowest level since 2011; from January to February this year, only 30,000 tons of rice were imported from Vietnam. The fact is that since the implementation of the reform of the grain collection and storage system in China in 2016, the amount of rice imports has declined year by year, and in 2019, rice imports were 2.55 million tons, down 530,000 tons year-on-year, and imported rice accounted for about 1% of China's rice consumption, mainly for the adjustment of varieties of surplus, such as Thai fragrant rice, even if rice is not imported, it will not affect the supply of the domestic market.
Although in recent years there have been several "roller coaster" grain prices in the international market, due to the continuous bumper harvest of grain in China, the supply is abundant, the inventory is sufficient, and the guarantee is strong, and the grain market has remained stable as a whole.
With grain in hand, there is no panic in the heart. At present, China's grain stocks have maintained a relatively high level, and the material foundation for ensuring national food security is relatively solid. In 2019, China's grain planting area was stable, and the grain harvest was bumper again, with a total annual grain output of 663.84 million tons, an increase of 5.94 million tons year-on-year, an increase of 0.9%. On the whole, China's grain supply and demand are generally relaxed, which can fully meet the daily consumption needs of the people and effectively cope with the test of major natural disasters and emergencies.

Question: Three meals a day are inseparable from rice and noodles, what is the situation of rice and wheat in China?
Answer: China's rice supply is abundant, and the characteristics of stage surplus are obvious. In 2019, China's rice production was 209.6 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 2.52 million tons, and edible consumption was 158 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 500,000 tons, although rice feed and industrial grains have increased, the annual balance is expected to be 14.3 million tons, which has been surplus for many years, and the characteristics of stage surplus are obvious.
With the support of national policies, the area of early rice in China's main producing areas will increase. During the epidemic prevention and control period, the relevant departments reasonably arranged policy-oriented rice auction sales, and began to increase the release of 800,000 tons of medium and late rice to Hubei region every week from February 10, with a turnover rate of only 0.28%, effectively meeting the market supply.
Wheat supply and demand are more than balanced, and the production exceeds the demand for many years. In the face of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the adoption of export restriction measures by major exporting countries may aggravate the fluctuation of grain prices in the international market, but the impact on the current grain market in China is not large, which is conducive to digesting unreasonable grain stocks and alleviating the pressure on the inventory of some domestic grain varieties.
Finally, Xiaobian also wants to say that it is understood that some rice grain merchants in Guilin have said that there will be no food pressure, although the price may rise a little because of the epidemic, but it is only within a small range, so there is no need for everyone to worry.
