AI-generated summary
Autumn grain is an important part of China's grain production, and its harvest progress is directly related to the annual grain output and farmers' income.
my country's autumn grain harvest is stepping up. The latest agricultural dispatch from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the national autumn grain harvest has exceeded 40%. Various regions are taking advantage of the farming season and taking multiple measures to ensure that grain particles are returned to warehouses.
At present, the Northeast region has entered the peak of autumn grain harvest. Heilongjiang has harvested more than 68 million acres of grain, accounting for about 30% of the province's autumn grain area. In Youyi County, Shuangyashan City, 100,000 acres of glutinous rice has ushered in a concentrated harvest period. Through the implementation of standardized planting, the glutinous rice production here has basically realized the full mechanization of "cultivation, planting, harvesting and storage". The local area also actively promotes the order planting model. After the glutinous rice is harvested, it is sent to the company for storage and processing, so that the "good harvest" becomes "good income" for farmers.
Liaoning's autumn grain harvest is nearly halfway through, and the speed has increased compared with the same period last year. All regions in Liaoning coordinated the deployment of agricultural machinery and organized cross-regional operations. In Changtu County, Tieling City, corn harvesting of more than 4 million acres is in full swing. This year, the local government has further promoted the combination of mechanized harvesting of corn and protective farming of black soil. By supporting crushing and spreading devices, straw can be returned to the fields and the soil can be protected.
The autumn grain harvest in the Huang-Huai-Hai region has been accelerated. Hebei Province has harvested nearly 31 million acres of corn, accounting for about 60% of the planting area. This year, Hebei Province deployed 810,000 agricultural machinery and tools to promote the integrated operation model of "machine harvesting, drying, and warehousing". In Renze District, Xingtai City, large combine harvesters shuttle back and forth, picking ears, peeling, crushing straw and returning it to the field in one go, greatly speeding up the corn harvest. More than 30% of the area in Anhui province has been harvested for autumn grain, and new equipment has become an important guarantee for reducing losses and increasing income. In Woyang County, Bozhou City, patches of corn are growing plumply with ears full. This year, the local area has vigorously promoted intelligent agricultural machinery for direct grain harvesting, which can complete the multi-step operations of corn picking and threshing in one trip to the field. From ear harvesting in the past to grain harvesting now, corn kernels do not fall to the ground throughout the entire process, ensuring the quality and loss of autumn grain harvest.

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.
In the golden autumn, special crops in the Hetao area of Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia enter the harvest season. Through land transfer, contract farming and technological empowerment, specialty industries such as colored peppers, sea buckthorn and onions have not only increased the income of local farmers, but also promoted the ecological management and industrial development of the Ulan Buh Desert.

Since its trial operation in October 2025, Guangxi's "Didi Agricultural Machinery" platform has registered more than 9,000 users and has access to more than 17,500 Beidou agricultural machinery terminals, which has contributed to the agricultural machinery operating area of more than 620,000 acres. It has increased the utilization rate of agricultural machinery by more than 30% and reduced the average harvesting cost by about 40 yuan per mu. It also solves the problem of "difficulty finding machines and expensive machines" through intelligent dispatching. The service scope covers rice, sugarcane and other industries, and supports online applications for subsidies.
During the National Day holiday, 10,000 acres of jasmine fields in Lijiang Street, Yuanjiang County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province ushered in the harvest peak. Flower farmers skillfully picked fresh and tender buds, and production and sales were booming. Yuanjiang County is one of the main jasmine producing areas in the country, with an existing planting area of 11,400 acres. The average daily flower transaction volume is stable at more than 27 tons, with a maximum of 70 tons, and the average purchase price is 21.99 yuan/kg. The local government has promoted the industry from scale expansion to quality improvement through measures such as bringing technology to the countryside and improving quality, which has continued to increase the income of flower farmers.
The harvest of pigmented peppers on 180,000 acres of Heshuo County in Xinjiang is about to begin. Bright red peppers are dried in the Gobi Desert to form a red carpet. Chili peppers are edible and their pigments can be extracted for use in products such as lipstick. Mechanized harvesting is highly efficient, and the industry drives farmers to increase their income. The business in Zunyi Chili City in Guizhou is booming, with an annual trading volume of hundreds of thousands of tons. Researchers are cultivating new varieties to increase capsanthin content and disease resistance.
