According to a report by Cailian Press on September 17, China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has issued the 'National Plan for the Development of Crop Farming during the 15th Five-Year Period.' The plan sets a target for China's comprehensive grain production capacity to reach approximately 1.45 trillion jin (725 million metric tons) by 2030. It aims to ensure basic self-sufficiency in cereals and absolute security in staple food supplies. The plan also seeks to consolidate production capacities for soybeans, oilseeds, cotton, and sugar crops, while maintaining reasonable self-sufficiency levels. It calls for balanced and safe supplies of vegetables, fruits, and tea. Other goals include the steady development of high-efficiency water-saving agriculture, scientific application of fertilizers and pesticides, improved green production levels, more accurate monitoring and early warning systems for agricultural conditions and disasters, and comprehensive strengthening of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. The plan emphasizes leveraging new quality productive forces in agriculture to achieve high-quality development in crop farming.

According to a report by Cailian Press on September 17, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has recently issued the National Plan for the Development of Crop Farming during the 15th Five-Year Period.
Key Objectives by 2030
The plan outlines several major goals for China's crop farming sector:
- Grain production capacity: China's comprehensive grain production capacity is expected to reach approximately 1.45 trillion jin (725 million metric tons) by 2030.
- Self-sufficiency: Steady improvements in overall grain production capacity will ensure that basic self-sufficiency in cereals and absolute security in staple food supplies are firmly maintained.
- Other key crops: Production capacities for soybeans, oilseeds, cotton, and sugar crops will be consolidated and enhanced, maintaining reasonable levels of self-sufficiency.
- Vegetables, fruits, and tea: Supplies will be balanced, diverse in variety, and safe in quality, with diversified supply better aligned with consumer demand.
Strategic Priorities
The plan proposes the following strategic measures:
- Enhancing supply security capacity for grain and other key agricultural products
- Deeply advancing the green transformation of crop farming
- Leveraging the leading role of new quality productive forces in agriculture
- Strengthening capabilities for disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief
Expected Outcomes
- Water-saving agriculture: High-efficiency water-saving agriculture will develop steadily.
- Fertilizer and pesticide use: Chemical fertilizers and pesticides will be applied scientifically and precisely.
- Green production: The level of green production in crop farming will continuously improve.
- Disaster monitoring: Monitoring and early warning systems for agricultural conditions and disasters will become more accurate.
- Disaster response: Capabilities for agricultural disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief will be comprehensively strengthened.
- High-quality development: Significant progress will be achieved in the high-quality development of crop farming.
