Well-balanced consolidation of food security

Over the past decade, China, with nearly one-fifth of the world's population, has effectively prevented and resisted all kinds of risks and challenges by keeping a firm grip on its food security.

Last year, China's per capita grain supply was 483 kilograms, much higher than the international food security standard of 400 kg. That has helped lay the foundation for the country to make remarkable achievements in stabilizing macroeconomic development, meet the needs of the people, and respond to international turbulence.

With the continuous improvement of the mechanism for maintaining grain stability, the main contradiction of grain supply has changed from food shortage to imbalanced structure. So at present, optimizing the grain structure and improving the quality of grain have become the focuses for the nation's efforts related to food security.
