At present, 15.6 percent of the mainland's grain has been sown in the spring, and the progress is going smoothly. This year, all localities have comprehensively improved the quality and level of high-standard farmland construction, and accelerated the improvement of grain production capacity.
The construction of high-standard farmland is a major supporting project for a new round of 100 billion catties of grain production capacity improvement. This year, the central government has raised the investment standard, which has nearly doubled compared with previous years, and comprehensively improved the quality and level of high-standard farmland construction.
Hunan will build and renovate more than 3 million acres of high-standard farmland this year. In the past few days, the 250,000 acres of high-standard farmland just built in Yiyang ushered in spring sowing, and along the newly built machine farming road, the rice transplanter can work directly from the provincial road.
Liu Xiaoyu, a large grain grower in Ziyang District, Yiyang City, Hunan Province: Our degree of mechanized operation can basically reach more than 90% after the construction of high-standard farmland.
Zhejiang invested 458 million yuan to improve the digitalization level of high-standard farmland. Jiashan has built more than 10,000 acres of digital high-standard farmland, thanks to digital management, the efficiency and quality of local spring plowing and spring management have been improved this year.
Yang Hang, the person in charge of the future farm of Zhejiang Nongyun Grain and Oil Future Farm, Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province: The unmanned, mechanized and efficient production management can reduce labor costs by 20% and increase the average income per mu by 200 yuan.
141 high-standard farmland construction projects in Heilongjiang have all started, and this year will focus on increasing the treatment of erosion ditches, and it is expected to complete the treatment of 12,000 erosion ditches to improve the ability of farmland to resist disasters and reduce disasters.
Sichuan will speed up the implementation of the action of tackling tough problems and improving the quality of Tianfu's fertile land, first easy and then difficult, and advance piece by piece, and will gradually build all permanent basic farmland into high-standard farmland. Hongya has demarcated three areas according to different terrains such as local dam areas and mountainous areas, and promoted the construction by category.
Su Hong, Deputy Director of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province: Especially in our dam area, we have also innovated the construction of an integrated irrigation system of water and fertilizer, laid a 700-kilometer biogas slurry transportation pipe network, and effectively increased the soil fertility of 100,000 mu of high-standard farmland.
At present, more than 1 billion mu of high-standard farmland has been built across the country, accounting for more than half of the cultivated area, and the average production capacity per mu has increased by about 10%. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will optimize the construction layout and give priority to the cultivated land in the black soil area, plain area, and areas with water conservancy and irrigation conditions in Northeast China to be built into high-standard farmland.
