News from CCTV: The State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences on the theme of "Getting Started" on the 15th Five-Year Plan on September 21 to introduce the situation of guarding and managing the "granary of the great country" and ensuring national food security.

Liu Huanxin, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the National Development and Reform Commission and Director of the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves, said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, all regions and relevant departments have unswervingly followed the path of food security with Chinese characteristics. my country's comprehensive grain production capacity has continued to improve, and grain outputReaching the level of 700 million tons, the grain industry continues to upgrade. The annual total industrial output value of grain companies exceeds 4 trillion yuan. Grain circulation is efficient and smooth. The grain market has sufficient supply and overall stable operation. The uncertainty of the external environment is effectively dealt with with the certainty of stable domestic production and supply. The Chinese people's jobs are more secure and of better quality.

During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the national food security strategy will be implemented in depth, adhering to the simultaneous focus on production capacity, production ecology, and increasing production and income, improving the ability to coordinate the guarantee of grain production, purchase, storage, and sales, strengthening grain purchase, sales, and reserve management, promoting the improvement of grain circulation quality and efficiency, promoting the connection between grain production and demand, structural optimization, and quality improvement, and accelerating the establishment of a modern grain circulation system consistent with my country's status as a major country.At work, we will focus on three key tasks.

The first task is to do a good job in the purchase and sale of grain and promote smooth circulation and stable operation of the grain market.Focusing on firmly adhering to the bottom line of "you can grow grain and sell it" and "eat grain you can buy", we will further invigorate the purchase and sale of grain.Adhere to the combination of both hands, make good use of the invisible hand of the market, vigorously create a good environment, and guide various grain business entities to actively enter the market; make good use of the visible hand of the government, organize policy-based procurement and storage, and play a supporting role in ensuring supply and stable prices.Focus on both ends, starting from the supply side, promote grain order planting, strengthen grain post-production services, improve grain quality, and adapt to market demand; start from the demand side, strengthen grain market monitoring and early warning, make good use of reserve throughput and other means, focus on pre-adjustment and fine-tuning, stabilize market expectations, and promote grain prices to remain at a reasonable level.Pay attention to both soft and hard work, improve the grain trading platform system, optimize services for farmers, strengthen the connection between production and marketing, and standardize the order of the grain market; strengthen the construction of grain logistics channels, strengthen the functions of core hubs and key nodes, enhance the logistics carrying capacity of important grain channels such as "North Grain to the South", and improve the efficiency of cross-regional transportation.

The second task is to ensure good food reserves and ensure that the "granary of a great country" is as solid as a rock and as stable as a mountain.Reserved grain is the food that protects the people's livelihood. It must be managed and used well to further enhance the confidence of "having food in hand and not panic in heart."Focusing on sufficient preparation, we will continue to optimize the variety structure and regional layout of grain reserves to make grain reserves more suitable for market adjustment and emergency supply needs.Focus on good storage, coordinate the stock and increase of grain storage facilities, optimize layout, improve functions, steadily increase the scale of high-standard grain silos, and at the same time upgrade qualified old warehouses.Focusing on the need, scientifically grasp the timing, rhythm and intensity of grain reserve throughput, and give full play to the role of "reservoir" and "regulator" of the reserve.Improve the food emergency security system and improve the efficiency and level of food supply under different situations.

The third task is to do a good job in the grain industry and promote the quality improvement and resilience of the grain industry chain and supply chain.The grain industry requires both "quantitative accumulation" and "qualitative improvement."During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, high-quality grain projects will be implemented in depth to continuously improve the quality and efficiency of the development of the grain industry. The grain industry is expected to achieve an annual gross industrial output value of more than 4.5 trillion yuan, better meeting the people's needs for the transformation from "eating well" to "eating well" and "eating nutritiously and healthily".To do a good job in addition, the focus is to extend the grain industry chain and guide the coordinated development of intensive grain processing, primary processing, and comprehensive utilization processing.In particular, major grain-producing counties are supported to enhance their grain processing and transformation capabilities, strengthen the county grain industry economy, and improve the value-added benefits of the grain industry.We should do a good job in subtraction, promote the whole chain of post-production grain conservation and loss reduction, accelerate the integrated application of green grain storage technology, vigorously develop the grain circular economy, and cultivate the "invisible grain field" of grain conservation and loss reduction.Do a good job in multiplication, stimulate the multiplier effect of industrial innovation, cultivate and expand leading and key enterprises, guide small and medium-sized enterprises to develop in special and new directions, strengthen the construction of food brands, and drive the transformation of the food industry into new and better ones.

In order to complete these three tasks, it is necessary to continuously strengthen the three supports.Strengthen the support of reform, consolidate and deepen the results of the reform of the grain purchase, sale and reserve management system and mechanism, continuously improve the system and mechanism, and continue to stimulate the development momentum and vitality of the grain industry.Strengthen the support of the rule of law, increase supervision according to law, improve the new model of food supervision, and rely on the power of the rule of law to protect the "granary of a great country."Strengthen the support of science and technology, strengthen the research on key core technologies in the grain field, promote the promotion and application of advanced technology and equipment, strengthen the cultivation of talents in the grain industry, and form a new situation in which science and technology and talents promote grain and storage.

Our country is a large country with a large population. Solving the problem of food has always been the top priority in governance.During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the grain and material reserve department will do a solid job in the grain market and circulation, actively promote the high-quality development of the grain industry, continuously enhance the country's food security capabilities, and provide favorable conditions for high-quality economic and social development.
