Foreign Media: China Promotes Record-Breaking Food Security Plan to Cope with Global Supply Chain Pressures
Amid geopolitical turmoil and unstable global supply chains, China has pledged to significantly increase grain production over the next five years to ensure food security for its 1.4 billion population.
China plans to raise annual grain capacity to a historical high of 725 million tons by 2030, mainly relying on the widespread application of high-end agricultural machinery and the promotion of advanced breeding technologies. Grain production continues to be one of the eight "constrained indicators," making it a mandatory target.
By comparison, the previous five-year plan set a minimum capacity of 650 million tons, while actual production in 2024 exceeded 700 million tons for the first time.
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of grain, traditionally dominated by small-scale farming, but now accelerating its transition toward modern, smart agriculture.
