CHINA yesterday vowed it will ensure a bumper grain harvest for the eighth consecutive year.
China aims to keep its 2011 grain production at more than 500 million tons while maintaining the grain planting acreage at last year's level, following seven straight years of bumper harvests, said a State Council circular.
Efforts should be made to boost grain production and ensure food supply to curb inflation, maintain economic development and social stability, said the circular published on the official website of the government.
"China is facing increasing inflationary pressures this year, and so more grain output is required," Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu said.
The severe winter-spring drought in China's major wheat belt, less enthusiasm for wheat cultivation and rising production costs have complicated the grain production situation this year, the statement said.
To achieve good harvests, the government is promoting modern farming techniques and efficient irrigation.
