Doing a good job in grain collection and storage has a bearing on the overall situation of national food security. With the large-scale harvest of autumn grain, as the "majority" of the year's grain, the process of autumn grain procurement is accelerating. Up to now, various grain enterprises in the main producing areas have purchased more than 20 million tons of autumn grain.
Autumn grain accounts for the "majority" of the year's grain production, accounting for 75 percent of the total output all year round. This year's autumn grain is expected to be bumper again, and it is expected that the peak season purchase volume will be about 200 million tons, which is a steady increase from the previous year.
Luo Shouquan, Director of the Grain Reserve Department of the State Food and Material Reserves Administration: At present, the middle and late rice in the south has been put on the market, and the autumn grain in the northeast and north China will also be listed in about half a month. At present, the main producing areas are preparing to purchase more than 300 million tons of warehouse capacity, which can meet the needs of farmers to sell grain.
In order to fully guarantee the purchase of autumn grain this year, the Agricultural Development Bank has arranged 200 billion yuan of credit funds in advance for the purchase of autumn grain, and will allocate funds at any time according to the purchase needs in the future, so as to ensure that farmers "sell grain and get money." The Jiangxi Branch of the Postal Savings Bank optimized its services and adjusted the upper limit of the credit limit to 3 million yuan in response to the capital needs of grain purchase, so as to ensure the whole chain of "farming, planting, management, harvesting and drying" and ensure that the autumn grain "returns to the warehouse".
Lu Yaxiong, President of the Xiushui County Branch of the Postal Savings Bank: We have opened up a green channel for grain collection and made every effort to ensure that the autumn grain loans were disbursed in full and in a timely manner. Up to now, more than 200 million yuan of loans have been issued to the autumn grain industry.
The State Food and Material Reserves Administration said that the next step will be to strengthen the monitoring of the grain market, take into account the production situation and market trends of corn, rice and soybeans, and reasonably grasp the timing, rhythm and intensity of the rotation of storage to ensure the orderly progress of autumn grain purchases. We will further intensify the promotion and application of reservation purchases, improve the convenience and practicability of reservation purchases, and allow grain farmers to run fewer errands, queue less, and sell grain quickly.
Luo Shouquan, Director of the Grain Reserve Department of the State Food and Material Reserves Administration: The autumn grain purchase involves many varieties, large quantities and a wide range, and the peak season purchase time will last until the end of April next year. The State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves will further strengthen the regulation and control of grain procurement and storage, adhere to the policy of dividing varieties into varieties, effectively stimulate the vitality of market purchase and sales, give full play to the role of policies in supporting the bottom line, and firmly guard the bottom line of "growing grain and selling it" for farmers.
