The recent dispatch of agricultural conditions by the Ministry of Agriculture and villages shows that at present, the harvest of autumn grain in China is coming to an end, with the exception of some middle and late rice and late autumn crops in the south, other harvests have come to an end. 

This year, the areas of summer grain, early rice and autumn grain have all increased in the three crops throughout the year. 

The per unit yield of summer grain and early rice increased, and the per unit yield of corn and soybean increased significantly in many main autumn grain producing areas. 

Judging from the actual harvest in various localities and reflected in many aspects, the grain harvest for the whole year will be good again. 

Grain saving and loss reduction to ensure food security. 

Although there has been another bumper grain harvest this year, with the increasing environmental constraints on resources such as fresh water and cultivated land, it is becoming more and more difficult to increase the area and output of grain. 

Therefore, China regards grain loss as an important starting point to ensure food security, and continues to take effective measures to reduce food loss and waste in the whole chain. 

What is the current situation of global food losses? 

What positive progress has been made in grain conservation and impairment in China? 

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the annual loss of global food from production to retail accounts for about 13.9% of the world's food output. 

A 1 percentage point reduction in this loss is equivalent to an increase of more than 27 million tons of grain, enough to feed 70 million people for a year.

In our country, the loss rate of the whole grain chain is up to 8%. 

Among them, production and harvest accounted for about 27% of the total grain loss and waste, storage and transportation accounted for about 33%, processing and packaging accounted for about 9%, and consumption accounted for about 31%.

To save grain and reduce losses is to increase production and ensure supply. 

In recent years, China has made efforts to reduce the loss of machinery, improve facilities and equipment, and promote grain conservation. 

This year, the reduction of grain consumption has become a bright spot in the whole grain chain.
