CHINA is likely to see growth in grain output for the ninth consecutive year in 2012 with a bumper harvest expected for autumn grain crops, the agricultural minister said yesterday.
Han Changfu said at a work conference that despite natural and biological disasters, as well as rising costs and global market fluctuations, planting areas of autumn crops are higher than last year's level. The major autumn crops are now in good growth conditions, he added.
China saw growth of 8.2 billion kilograms during the summer grain harvest this year, according to Han, who urged local authorities to prevent damage from temperature drops and pests during the autumn harvest.
More typhoons this year have given rise to pest damage on the farm, especially in the rice-growing provinces in south China, Han said.
