Speeding up the transformation from a big agricultural province to a strong agricultural province

　　These five years have been extraordinary.

　　In the past five years, the total grain output in Henan has been rising steadily. For four consecutive years, the total grain output has been stable at more than 130 billion Jin, which not only solves the problem of feeding its 100 million people, but also transfers 60 billion Jin of raw grain and finished products every year, making an important contribution to ensuring national food security.

　　In the past five years, the seed supply capacity of crops in Henan accounted for about one tenth of the whole country, and the seed supply capacity of wheat and peanuts ranked first in the country. "Henan Seed" has made a "core" contribution to the national grain production increase.

　　In the past five years, all the indexes of animal husbandry in Henan rank among the top in the country, the number of live pigs ranks first in the country, the total amount of meat, eggs and milk ranks second in the country, and the annual processing capacity of dairy products ranks among the top three in the country. Henan, a big animal husbandry province in China, deserves it.

　　In the past five years, Henan has optimized its structure, improved quality and increased efficiency, and the agricultural product processing industry has become one of the two trillion-level industries in the province. Henan is moving from a "granary for Chinese people" to a "kitchen for Chinese people" and enriching the "dining table for the world".

　　Looking forward to the "14th Five-Year Plan", we should fully implement the rural revitalization strategy, speed up the construction of a strong modern agricultural province, and strive to be at the forefront of the country in agricultural and rural modernization. The drums of Henan Province are urging the levy to set sail.

　　Let Chinese people put more "Henan grain" in their rice bowls.

　　Taking the year as the horizontal axis and the total grain output of the whole year as the vertical axis, when you look at the total grain output of Henan in the five years of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" in the coordinate system, you will find that this curve is rising all the way. For four consecutive years from 2017, the total grain output in Henan has stabilized at more than 130 billion Jin, and last year it crossed the 135 billion Jin step for the first time. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the contribution rate of grain production increase in Henan Province to the national grain production increase reached nearly 40%.

　　Food security is "the biggest in the country". It is true at all times that you have food in your hand and don’t panic in your heart.

　　In this fertile land of the Central Plains, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader climbed high and looked far, painting the overall situation, thinking of it here, and expecting a good talk. From 2014 to now, every time General Secretary of the Supreme Leader comes to Henan, he must look at agriculture and talk about grain production, emphasizing that "Henan agriculture, especially grain production, is a big advantage and a trump card, which cannot be lost at any time". In May this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader got off the bus temporarily on his way to visit the head of Taocha Canal in Xichuan, Nanyang, and walked into a wheat field to see the growth of wheat. The summer harvest was bumper, and the economy was bottomed out all year round.

　　It is an unshirkable political responsibility for Henan to bear in mind the earnest entrustment of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, resolutely shoulder the heavy responsibility of stabilizing food security and ensuring national food security, and it is also a bottom line task that cannot be lost.

　　The total grain output accounts for one-tenth of the country’s total, and the wheat output accounts for more than a quarter of the country’s total, so that people can put more "Henan grain" in their rice bowls. How did Henan do it?

　　The policy of strengthening agriculture and benefiting farmers is a powerful engine to stabilize grain production.

　　"Direct grain subsidies, agricultural machinery subsidies, agricultural subsidies, improved varieties subsidies … From the central government to the local government, and finally to me, the average subsidy for an acre of land can reach more than 150 yuan. For large grain growers, this money is considerable." Liu Tianhua, chairman of Tianhua Planting Professional Cooperative in Shangshui County, lamented that the policy of benefiting farmers has improved farmers’ enthusiasm for growing grain and made agriculture a promising industry.

　　During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the central financial support for Henan’s special agricultural transfer payment funds reached 94.539 billion yuan. This year, some places were hit by torrential rain. In the first batch of 3 billion yuan central financial subsidy funds, the Henan provincial government allocated 269 million yuan to subsidize replanting seeds in the affected areas, effectively reducing the burden on farmers. Henan Province strictly implements the policies of farmland fertility protection subsidies, agricultural machinery purchase subsidies and the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice, increases the awards for major grain-producing counties, and mobilizes the enthusiasm of grass-roots governments to grasp grain and farmers to grow grain.

　　Increase policy support, so that there is hope for growing grain, and implement the "long teeth" measures to ensure farming.

　　Henan Province adheres to the responsibility of the party and the government, pays close attention to the implementation of the responsibility system for food safety, and links the implementation of the responsibility system for food safety and the completion of food production tasks with project funding arrangements and special support policies to effectively stabilize the grain planting area. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the grain planting area in Henan has been stable at more than 161 million mu for five consecutive years.

　　Cultivated land is the lifeblood of grain production. Henan province has implemented the strictest farmland protection system, resolutely curbed the "non-agricultural" and prevented the "non-grain" of cultivated land. After the state issued the grain production target task, the Henan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs immediately decomposed the grain area and output target task into cities and counties to ensure that the cultivated land area was stable at more than 120 million mu.

　　To stabilize the area, we must pay close attention to the construction of high-standard farmland. Up to now, 69.1 million mu of high-standard farmland has been built in the province, and 44% of low-and medium-yield farmland in the province needs urgent transformation.

　　"The state has designated 78,445,200 mu of grain production functional zones and 10,313,100 mu of important agricultural product production protection zones in Henan Province. To play a good role in grain production, the key is to grasp the’ two zones’, make overall plans to promote a new round of high-standard farmland construction, build 80 million mu of high-standard farmland by 2025, strengthen the integrated application of comprehensive technologies, build a national food safety industrial belt, and accelerate the transformation of grain production from quantitative to quality." Song Huzhen, director of the Agriculture Office of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said.

　　On the basis of doing a good job in the management of grain production process, Henan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs focuses on preventing disasters such as drought, flood, dry hot wind and low temperature freezing injury, strengthens monitoring and early warning of disaster weather, implements disaster prevention plans, and minimizes losses; Focusing on the prevention and control of major pests and diseases such as wheat stripe rust, scab and meadow moth, we will strengthen monitoring and early warning, carry out emergency prevention and control and large-scale unified prevention and control, and realize "the worm catches the grain."

　　Stabilizing policies, stabilizing areas, strengthening management, and implementing the strategy of storing grain in the ground, Henan’s grain output is proud of the whole country, and it is well-deserved as a "granary for Chinese people." In the next step, Henan Province will speed up the construction of modern grain production functional zones, build modern grain production systems, management systems and industrial systems, and build "six centers" of grain ration production, grain storage and transportation, food processing, agricultural equipment, agricultural science and technology, and agricultural products futures, so as to make the ace of grain production more shining and this advantage more prominent.

　　The level of breeding and seed production is famous throughout the country.

　　On the eve of this year’s wheat harvest, Xinxiang, Xuchang and other places suffered from strong convective weather such as strong winds and hail, and many farmland reduced production, but the 3000-mu strong gluten wheat breeding base in Renxiaoying Village, Zhaipo Town, Xinxiang County had little impact.

　　"I planted Xinmai 45, which is 5 cm shorter than ordinary wheat, with thick stems and strong lodging resistance." Ma Youyong, the owner of the base, is an "old-fashioned" farmer. He took a fancy to it at a glance from many varieties.

　　Let’s take a look at these "star" seeds: high-quality strong gluten wheat "Zhengmai 369" broke the strange circle of wheat varieties "high quality but not high yield, high yield and not high quality", with an average yield of about 1200 Jin per mu, which is about 5 cents higher than that of ordinary wheat; "Zhoumai 36" can resist 8 winds and has good resistance to stripe rust … The contribution rate of improved varieties to grain yield has exceeded 45%.

　　The way out for grain production lies in science and technology. In the case of limited arable land and water resources, we must seize the key point of seeds, implement the strategy of storing grain in technology, and demand output, quality and efficiency from science and technology.

　　Henan province is a veritable seed industry province, and the protection and utilization system of germplasm resources is constantly improving. Henan Province took the lead in drawing the fine physical map of wheat related species-rye genome in the world, and created a number of breakthrough new germplasm that meet the needs of production and market, such as maize ace inbred lines Zheng 58 and Chang 7-2, wheat broad-spectrum hybrid lines Zhou 8425B and C5/ Xinxiang 3577, peanut backbone hybrid varieties Yuanza 9102 and Kaixuan 016, leading the innovation direction of agricultural germplasm resources in China.

　　The main position of enterprise innovation has been continuously strengthened. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, there were 501 varieties of main crops in Henan Province, accounting for 77% of enterprises; There are 423 varieties under national examination, accounting for 78% of enterprises, initially forming a new pattern of commercial breeding development with enterprises as the main body.

　　The construction of breeding R&D platform has been continuously improved. Not long ago, Shennong Seed Industry Laboratory was unveiled and established, which set up a higher platform for Henan Province to stand on the peak of seed industry. Henan Province has built nine national high-level R&D platforms, such as the National Biological Breeding Industry Innovation Center, and the breeding level of new varieties of wheat, corn, peanuts and other crops in Henan Province is leading the country. Wheat varieties Zhengmai 9023, Aikang 58, Zhengmai 366, Bainong 207 and maize variety Zhengdan 958 have successively become the largest crop varieties in China. In 2019, the top ten varieties of wheat, corn and peanut in the country accounted for 4, 5 and 5 respectively, accounting for the highest proportion.

　　The ability of seed production and seed supply has been continuously enhanced. The province’s crop seed production area is 5.1 million mu, with an annual output of about 2.1 billion kilograms. The seed supply capacity of crop seeds in Henan province accounts for about one tenth of the whole country, and the seed supply capacity of wheat and peanut ranks first in the whole country.

　　"From the 1980 s, by adjusting planting,’ East, West, North and South varieties competed in the Central Plains’ to becoming an important crop breeding province and a major seed supply province in China, Henan’s breeding ability has achieved leap-forward development." The relevant person in charge of the Seed Industry Management Office of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department of Henan Province said that during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, Henan Province will focus on the implementation of five major projects, namely, the protection and utilization project of germplasm resources, the improvement project of breeding innovation ability, the improvement project of improved seed breeding system, the cultivation project of leading seed enterprises and the seed industry market governance project, so as to accelerate the construction of a strong modern seed industry and create a "Central Plains agricultural valley".

　　All the indexes of animal husbandry rank among the top in China.

　　Pig food is safe in the world, and Henan has a great responsibility. Pig food is safe in the world, and Henan contributes a lot.

　　Pig food is safe for the world, and what is safe is national strategic security.

　　The rapid development of animal husbandry in Henan has made important contributions to ensuring the effective supply of livestock products in the whole province and even the whole country and building a national food strategic security system.

　　Henan is a big province of animal husbandry. In 2020, the output value of animal husbandry in the province was 285.6 billion yuan, ranking second in the country, accounting for 28.7% of the total agricultural output value of the province. All the indexes of animal husbandry are in the forefront of the country, with the number of live pigs, poultry and sheep ranking first, second and fourth respectively, and the output of meat, eggs and milk ranking third, second and sixth respectively. Shuanghui Group, the largest meat processing enterprise in the world, is the largest meat processing province in China. There are 60 national pig transfer counties, accounting for 12% of the national total, and the number of pigs transferred ranks first in the country.

　　Pig food is safe in the world, and it is the table safety of the people.

　　Henan province is a big province of animal husbandry and animal products processing. Henan contributes 3/5 of the country’s glutinous rice balls and 7/10 of the dumplings. The annual slaughter and processing capacity of pigs, poultry and beef cattle reaches 52 million, 1.1 billion and 1.24 million respectively, and the annual processing capacity of dairy products reaches 4 million tons, ranking first in the country. There are 249 leading enterprises in animal husbandry industrialization at or above the provincial level, including 28 national leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization.

　　Pig food is safe in the world, and it is safe for farmers who get rich through farming.

　　Henan is a big province of animal husbandry economy. In 2020, the output value of animal husbandry in the province was 285.6 billion yuan, ranking second in the country, accounting for 28.7% of the total agricultural output value of the province. According to estimates, animal husbandry and its related industries have driven more than 10 million people to obtain employment and increased farmers’ net income by about 16 billion yuan. Animal husbandry has made important contributions to increasing farmers’ income, winning the battle against poverty and promoting rural revitalization.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Animal Husbandry Department of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department of Henan Province said that in the next step, we will strengthen the pig industry by implementing the rural revitalization strategy, and all pigs will be slaughtered in the province to realize the transformation from "adjusting pigs" to "adjusting meat"; Expand the cattle and sheep industry, transform the advantages of straw resources into industrial advantages, and promote high-quality grass and livestock to become a brand industry in Henan; Do a good job in poultry industry, open up new space from the creation of high-end and characteristic brands, enhance the market competitiveness of poultry products, and make every effort to build a modern animal husbandry production system, management system and industrial system.

　　Accelerating the construction of a strong modern agricultural province with high-quality agricultural development

　　Last October, at the first Henan high-quality featured agricultural products fair, 400 Henan high-quality featured agricultural products, including Yanjin Wheat, Yongcheng Flour, jia county Red Bull and Xinyang Maojian, were unveiled in Shanghai. I miss your jujube industry, miss food, Sanquan Food and other well-known Henan agricultural products processing brands to promote, and more and more "excellent products of Henan agriculture" entered people in Shanghai.

　　With the structural reform of the supply side as the starting point, Henan Province has made great efforts to extend the grain industry chain, upgrade the value chain, build a supply chain, and continuously improve the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture.

　　High-quality development of agriculture requires policy planning first. Henan Province has successively formulated Opinions on Accelerating the High-quality Development of Agriculture to Build a Strong Modern Agricultural Province, Opinions on Adhering to the Three-chain Isomorphism to Accelerate the High-quality Development of Grain Industry, Opinions on Accelerating the High-quality Development of Animal Husbandry, Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Agricultural Mechanization, Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Agricultural Informatization and Digital Village, and Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of High-standard Farmland to Build a National Important Grain Production Core Area, etc., to build a "1+N" for promoting the high-quality development of agriculture.

　　Adjust and optimize the agricultural structure with the focus on "four excellent and four modernizations". During the "Three Summers" period, the benefits of "weak gluten" and "strong gluten" dancing in the Central Plains, "high quality" and "special use" were highlighted, and high quality wheat became the dazzling "pearl" of wheat industry development.

　　In 2020, the province’s high-quality special wheat will grow to 15.3 million mu, accounting for 18% of the province’s wheat planting area. The wheat quality is excellent and the order rate is over 90%, forming a suitable area for the production of strong gluten wheat in northern Henan and weak gluten wheat along the Huaihe River in southern Henan. The peanut planting area in the province is over 18.92 million mu, ranking first in the country, with high-oil and high-oleic peanuts accounting for more than 50%, forming a large-fruit peanut area for oil along the Yellow River and the old course of the Yellow River and a high-quality small-fruit peanut area in southern and southwestern Henan. In the past three years, more than 200,000 beef cattle and 50,000 dairy cows have been added each year. Dominant and characteristic agriculture such as fruit, vegetables, tea, edible fungi, Chinese herbal medicines and aquatic products has developed steadily, and a number of dominant and characteristic agricultural bases have been built.

　　From a grain of wheat to a bag of flour to a bag of bread, the "value" of wheat has increased several times. In Yanjin, using local wheat brand resources, the development layout of "yan zhen" was formed, with wheat as the head goose and the industrial chains of "special flour-noodles-frozen food-baked food" and "liquor-packaging-e-commerce-logistics" as two wings. There are 30 peanut deep processing enterprises in Zhengyang County, and a peanut characteristic town and a peanut trading center in Zhengyang Bohai Sea have been built to promote the integration of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and small peanuts in Zhengyang have become a big industry.

　　Henan is a big province of agricultural products processing industry in China, and the output value of agricultural products processing industry ranks second in the country for many years. There are 6238 agricultural products processing enterprises above designated size in the province, with an annual output value of 1.16 trillion yuan, which is one of the two trillion-level industries in the province. Focusing on the five major food industries of flour, meat, oil, milk and fruits and vegetables, Henan has implemented the "Five Actions" of enterprise upgrading, chain extension and value-added, green development, quality standards and brand cultivation, and continued to make excellent flour products, stronger meat products, refined oil products, large dairy products and special fruit and vegetable products. The five major food industries have developed rapidly, and the processing scale of characteristic agricultural products has continued to grow, with overall improvement in quality and efficiency.

　　Create a new carrier for industrial development. There are 8 national modern agricultural industrial parks, 80 provincial-level and 206 municipal-level in the province. The construction system of national, provincial and municipal modern agricultural industrial parks has been basically established, and the work pattern of step-by-step promotion has gradually taken shape.

　　Accelerate agricultural open cooperation. We have accelerated cooperation in agricultural projects and built overseas agricultural cooperation parks such as Zhongta Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration Zone, China-Kyrgyzstan "Asia Star" Agricultural Industry Cooperation Zone, Luoyang-Bukhara Agricultural Cooperation Zone, St. Petersburg-Xuchang Agricultural Cooperation Demonstration Zone in Russia, and Henan International Industrial Park in Gwadar Free Zone in Pakistan. We carried out in-depth cooperation between Henan and Shanghai, actively prepared for the Shanghai Fair of Henan high-quality agricultural products, and planned a number of major agricultural cooperation projects.

　　Five years is just a moment in the long history, but it is a milestone for Henan agriculture. Song Huzhen, director of the Agricultural Office of Henan Provincial Party Committee and director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the agricultural and rural systems at all levels in the province will thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 11th Party Congress, anchor the "two guarantees", fully implement the rural revitalization strategy, give full play to the role of "ballast stone" and "stabilizer" in grain production, resolutely safeguard national food security, highlight Henan’s responsibility of turning over the seed industry, deepen the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, cultivate and expand the industrial clusters with regional advantages and characteristics, and safeguard agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
