China's grain continues to increase production difficulty in successive years

From the site of the Grain Science and Technology Week organized by the State Grain Administration, it was learned that China’s annual post-production loss of grain exceeds 100 billion kilograms, accounting for more than 9% of the country’s total grain output, equivalent to 145 million acres of grain production, and there is great potential for reducing grain consumption. The task is also very heavy.

It is understood that the annual loss of farmer households in China is more than 40 billion kilograms from the insect pests of Boletus cinerea. Over 10 billion kilograms of meat and oil are lost through processing. The loss of grain storage and transportation is about 10 billion kilograms; More than one hundred million pounds.

As one of the activities of the 2013 Food Science and Technology Week series, the photography exhibition with the theme of “Scientific grain reduction and safeguarding food security” was held in the same period of Wuhan University of Light Industry. At the launching ceremony, the students of Wuhan University of Light Industry issued a proposal for “Love Food and Grain from Me”, advocating for teachers, students and practitioners from all colleges and universities across the country to be advocates, practitioners, and propagandists for love and food, and to care for food. Eliminate waste.

Relevant experts stated that after the "nine consecutive increase" in China's grain production, it is increasingly difficult to increase production in successive years. Saving grain means increasing production, that is, developing intangible farmland, and doing a good job of grain saving is not only a long-term strategic task, but also an urgent task at the moment.
