The Chinese mainland's grain production is set to reach a historic high of 700 million tonnes in 2024, marking the first time this milestone has been achieved, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. 🌾🌟
Following nine straight years of sustaining grain output above 650 million tonnes, this year’s harvest promises to surpass previous records.
The summer grain and early rice seasons have already concluded, with summer grain output totaling 149.78 million tonnes—up approximately 3.63 million tonnes from last year. Early rice production has remained steady at around 28.2 million tonnes. 📊🌱
The autumn grain harvest is also progressing smoothly, with about 82.5% of the crops already harvested as of Thursday. These figures indicate a bumper harvest for the season, the ministry highlighted during a recent press conference. 🚜💪
