The price of Muscadine grapes in South Korea has experienced an avalanche, with prices shrinking by nearly 90% in three years. Fruit farmer Liu Changyu pointed out that the current selling price is lower than the production cost, resulting in the loss of one box sold. The main reason is that the planting area has increased by more than 23 times in seven years, the market is seriously oversupplied, and some farmers have harvested early, which affects the quality, further damaging market confidence.

The 2026 soybean autumn production observation event was held at the Acheng Base of Northeast Agricultural University. Scientific research experts have used AI breeding and integrated cultivation technology to explore high-yield models in black soil. The yield of multiple new strains has exceeded 350 kilograms per mu, helping to revitalize the national seed industry and ensure food security.
Data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the national autumn grain harvest has exceeded 40%. The Northeast region has entered the harvest peak, and operations in the Huang-Huai-Hai region have been stepped up. Various localities have adopted measures such as mechanized operations, order planting, and straw return to fields to ensure that grain particles are returned to warehouses and improve the effect of reducing losses and increasing income.
In the golden autumn, special crops in the Hetao area of Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia enter the harvest season.
