Han Wenxiu: We must make greater efforts to implement the new round of action to increase grain production capacity.

The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the morning of February 4th. Han Wenxiu, Deputy Director in charge of daily work at the Central Finance and Economics Office and Director of the Central Agricultural Office, stated that efforts must be made to implement a new round of grain production capacity enhancement action, comprehensively solidifying the foundation of grain production. It is necessary to enhance production capacity from arable land. Strictly adhere to the red line of arable land, strictly manage the balance between land occupation and compensation, and resolutely crack down on all kinds of illegal acts that damage arable land. At the same time, it is necessary to promote the construction of high-standard farmland by region and category, improve the mechanism of project approval, construction, acceptance, and management, and ensure that once a piece of land is developed, it should be fully utilized. Production capacity must also be obtained from technology. It is necessary to improve the efficiency of agricultural science and technology innovation, strengthen the key core technology research and efficient transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements in agriculture, promote the deep integration of technology innovation and industrial innovation, and empower modern agriculture development with modern technologies such as artificial intelligence.
