CHINA-AGRICULTURE: CCTV HIGHLIGHTS HIGHER SUMMER GRAIN HARVEST THIS YEAR

The state-owned CCTV (May 29) highlighted that China's central government invested an unprecedented 6 billion yuan to promote a stable and bumper summer grain harvest. It said various localities have increased investment, and agricultural and rural departments at all levels have continued to promote the implementation of technical measures to increase production. The latest wheat harvest progress shows that nearly 38 million mu of winter wheat has been harvested across the country. The wheat harvest in Sichuan is coming to an end, Hubei is over 80%, Henan and Anhui are over 10%, and Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and other provinces have successively opened up. The suitable harvest period is 3-5 days after the wheat is mature, and more than 97% are harvested by machine. In order to ensure that the harvesters are not affected by the epidemic, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has joined hands with major wheat-producing provinces to accurately collect the area of machine harvesting, and vigorously promote the orderly flow of agricultural machinery. 60,000 agricultural machinery service organizations across the country will participate in summer harvesting operations.
