National purchase of autumn grain exceeds 100 million tons

At present, my country's autumn grain procurement is being carried out one after another. The cumulative purchase of autumn grain exceeds 100 million tons, and the progress is basically the same as the previous year.

The latest dispatch from the State Grain and Material Reserves Bureau shows that the autumn grain procurement has started smoothly at present, with more than 41 million tons of mid-late and late rice harvested, and corn and soybeans are being put on the market; quantities are gradually being increased in the Northeast region.

In Hengshan Village, Boli County, Heilongjiang, the 18 newly put into use air-drying warehouses have welcomed "new residents" - the tidal corn is sent to the 18-meter-high warehouse roof along the conveyor belt, and the wind naturally reduces the moisture.

While new grain returns to the warehouse faster, grain storage also becomes smarter. Integrated inspections of "air, sky and ground warehouse personnel" are being rolled out one after another - drones in the sky, inspection robots on the ground, and grain temperature, humidity, and insect status are quickly reported back.

This year’s autumn grain harvesting started in late September and is expected to last until the end of April next year. In order to ensure the income of grain farmers, the state continues to implement the minimum purchase price policy. At present, six provinces including Hunan and Hubei have launched plans to implement the minimum purchase price for mid-late and late rice; Sinograin Group has announced more than 140 storage locations with a warehouse capacity of more than 3.3 million tons, and has purchased nearly 1 million tons of mid-late and late rice at the lowest purchase price.
