Zhongxin Finance, June 15th. The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the 15th to introduce the operation of the national economy in May. At the meeting, a reporter asked a question: On June 6th, the United Nations World Food Program and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization issued a report warning that , multiple food crises are approaching.Excuse me, how much impact will this have on my country's food security?What will we do in the next stage to stabilize food prices?
In this regard, Fu Linghui, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics and director of the National Economic Comprehensive Statistics Department, said that since the beginning of this year, the international situation has been complicated and severe, especially the intensification of geopolitical conflicts, which has led to a sharp increase in international commodity prices, especially food and energy prices. The rise has raised concerns about food security.As things stand, geopolitical conflicts have led to increased global impact on Russian and Ukrainian food production.
Faced with this situation, many countries have introduced measures to restrict grain exports, further exacerbating the contradiction between supply and demand, and global grain prices continue to run high.my country continues to increase measures to stabilize grain production.In general, we have been attaching great importance to food production and food security in recent years. my country's grain output has stabilized at more than 1.3 trillion kilograms for seven consecutive years, and the grain inventory is relatively abundant.Although recently affected by international factors, domestic grain prices have risen, but the magnitude is significantly lower than the international level.Judging from the current situation, the production of summer grains is already in the harvest stage, and a better harvest is expected.Last year, due to the severe autumn flood, the planting period was postponed in some areas, and the seedling situation was complicated.But this year, the overall climatic conditions are good, the field management has been strengthened in all aspects, and the guidance for personnel production has been strengthened.Of course, the current international environment is relatively complicated. In the next stage, we must continue to focus on grain production, further reduce the pressure on agricultural production caused by rising prices of agricultural materials, and ensure a stable growth of grain output throughout the year.(Finish)
