China Confident in Food Security Amid Global Market Volatility, Official Says
In a press conference on September 21, Liu Huanxin, head of China's National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, stated that while global food markets are experiencing volatility due to the El Niño phenomenon and geopolitical conflicts, China's food security is reliably guaranteed. He attributed this to three pillars: stable production, with annual grain output exceeding 6.5 billion tons since 2015 and reaching 7.15 billion tons in 2025; a comprehensive reserve system with a stock-to-consumption ratio well above the international safety threshold of 17-18%; and a robust processing industry with 24,000 enterprises capable of meeting domestic demand. Liu emphasized the need for continued vigilance and proactive measures to address potential risks.

At a September 21 press conference on the '15th Five-Year Plan,' Liu Huanxin, head of China's National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, stated that global food security uncertainty is increasing due to the intensifying El Niño phenomenon and geopolitical conflicts disrupting transport and raising fertilizer costs. He emphasized that China's food market remains stable and its food security is reliably guaranteed. Liu noted that China's grain production has shown strong resilience, with annual output stabilizing above 650 million tons since 2015, reaching 715 million tons in 2025, and per capita grain possession exceeding 500 kilograms. He highlighted a comprehensive reserve system with a grain stock-to-consumption ratio well above the 17-18% international security threshold, allowing for market stabilization through reserve releases. Additionally, China's grain processing industry, with 24,000 enterprises and an annual industrial output value exceeding 4 trillion yuan, is fully capable of meeting domestic consumption needs for flour, rice, and edible oil.

The National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration of China responded to concerns about the impact of a 'super El Niño' on food security, stating that China's food security is reliably guaranteed. The administration cited three key factors: first, strong production resilience and stable output, with comprehensive grain production capacity steadily improving due to policy measures and China's vast territory; second, a complete and well-functioning grain reserve system, including government and enterprise reserves, which can be used to regulate supply and demand and stabilize markets in case of abnormal fluctuations; and third, a complete and strong grain processing chain, with recent years showing robust development in the grain industry, characterized by sufficient processing capacity, wide coverage, and strong guarantee capability. The statement aims to reassure the public and markets about food supply stability amid extreme weather risks.

China's Food Agency Says El Niño Impact Manageable, Food Security Assured
China's National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration responded to concerns about the impact of a 'super El Niño' on food security, stating that the country's food security is reliably guaranteed. The agency cited several factors: strong resilience and stable production due to China's vast territory and effective policy implementation; a comprehensive and well-functioning grain reserve system, including government and enterprise reserves, which can regulate supply and demand through reserve releases if market fluctuations occur; and a complete and robust grain processing chain with sufficient capacity, wide coverage, and strong support capabilities. The response, reported by People's Financial News, emphasizes that China's grain production stability is relatively strong and that the overall food security system is prepared to handle potential disruptions from the El Niño weather phenomenon.
