Han Wenxiu: We need to intensify the implementation of a new round of grain production capacity enhancement initiatives

The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the morning of February 4. Han Wenshou, Deputy Director of the Central Finance Office responsible for daily operations and Director of the Central Agriculture Office, stated that efforts should be intensified to implement a new round of grain production capacity enhancement initiatives, comprehensively consolidating the foundation of grain production. We must increase capacity from arable land. Strictly adhere to the red line of cultivated land, enforce strict management of the balance between cultivated land occupation and compensation, and resolutely crack down on all illegal activities damaging arable land. At the same time, we should promote the construction of high-standard farmland in different regions and categories, improve mechanisms for project approval, construction, acceptance, and management, ensuring that each piece of land built is effectively utilized. Additionally, we need to increase capacity through science and technology. We should enhance the effectiveness of agricultural technological innovation, strengthen research on key core agricultural technologies, and promote the efficient transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements. We must foster deep integration of technological innovation and industrial development, empowering modern agriculture development with modern technologies such as artificial intelligence.
