Liu Guozhong emphasized the need to continuously carry out anti-disaster and harvest-related work in arranging the deployment of autumn grain production and agricultural disaster prevention and reduction, ensuring the completion of the annual grain production target.

On the 20th, Liu Guozhong, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, held a video dispatch meeting at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to arrange and deploy autumn grain production and agricultural disaster prevention and reduction work. He emphasized the need to earnestly implement the important directives and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and to firmly establish the ideology of disaster resistance to achieve a bumper harvest, and to do our best to do well in field management of autumn grain and agricultural disaster prevention and reduction, ensuring the completion of the annual grain production target. Liu Guozhong emphasized that there is still more than a month before the large-scale harvest of autumn grains, which is a critical period for yield formation and a period when natural disasters are more likely to occur. It is necessary to continue to strengthen disaster monitoring and early warning, implement the "call and response" mechanism for disaster warning, and provide reliable basis for disaster prevention and relief. It is necessary to implement a large-scale single-crop yield improvement action, focus on field management by crop, implement precise water and fertilizer regulation, and other measures such as "one spray, multiple promotions". It is important to adhere to bottom-line thinking, closely monitor disasters such as droughts, floods, typhoons, high temperatures, frost damage, diseases, and pests, and conduct effective prevention and response in different areas to minimize disaster losses. It is important to promptly organize agricultural post-disaster recovery, repair damaged farmland, water conservancy facilities, etc. It is important to pay close attention to the situation of poverty-stricken areas and populations affected by disasters, accurately implement support measures, and resolutely prevent a return to poverty. Liu Guozhong emphasized that disaster resistance and bumper harvest are important tasks in the current work relating to agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, and must be urgently and effectively carried out. Localities should strictly implement the requirements of joint responsibility of party and government for food security and timely coordinate and solve difficult problems. Relevant departments should closely cooperate and coordinate to ensure financial support, insurance claims, market regulation of food, and supply of agricultural inputs, to ensure a bumper harvest of autumn grains.
