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.
