China’s top political advisors gathered in Beijing this week as the CPPCC National Committee kicked off its 2026 annual session – and agriculture took center stage. 🌍 New Hope Group chairman Liu Yonghao told CGTN that decades of reform have transformed China from food scarcity to self-sufficiency, declaring: "We’ve firmly grasped our rice bowl in our own hands." 🍚👐
Liu, a key voice in China’s agribusiness sector, highlighted how 40+ years of economic opening created "a domino effect" 💥: tech-driven farming, sustainable practices, and global market integration. With New Hope operating in 30+ countries, he emphasized how China’s agricultural evolution now impacts worldwide food security.
Young entrepreneurs take note 📈: The CPPCC discussions signal continued innovation in smart agriculture and rural revitalization. As climate challenges grow, China’s hybrid rice tech and vertical farming models are becoming exportable solutions – perfect timing as the UN’s 2030 sustainability goals approach.
