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.

The National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration has responded to concerns over the impact of a "super El Niño" on food security, stating that China's food security is reliably guaranteed.
Stable Production with Strong Resilience
From a production perspective, China's grain output remains stable and resilient. This year, as various policies and measures take effect, the country's comprehensive grain production capacity has steadily improved. Additionally, due to China's vast territory, the stability of grain production is relatively strong.
Comprehensive and Well-Functioning Reserve System
China has established a complete grain reserve system, including both government reserves and enterprise reserves, developed over many years. In the event of abnormal market fluctuations, the government can regulate grain supply and demand through reserve releases and replenishments to stabilize the grain market.
Robust Processing Capabilities
China's grain processing chain is complete and backed by strong capacity. In recent years, the country's grain industry has shown strong development momentum, characterized by sufficient processing capacity, wide coverage, and strong guarantee capabilities.
