According to agricultural situation reports from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, spring planting across the country is now progressing from south to north. Relevant officials stated that, while prioritizing epidemic prevention and control, it is essential to keep logistics channels open and steadily advance preparations for spring farming.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, this year’s spring plowing preparations have seen an overall ample supply of agricultural inputs. Supplies of hybrid corn, hybrid rice, soybeans, and cotton seeds all exceed demand, ensuring a sufficient seed supply. At present, pesticide stocks are ample and sufficient to meet the needs of spring farming. Fertilizer supplies are generally sufficient to meet current demand, with April and May representing the peak period for fertilizer use. Provided that enterprises resume production promptly and transportation remains smooth, market demand can be largely satisfied. Adequate agricultural machinery investment.

An official from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs stated that, According to agricultural situation reports from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and feedback from across the country, preparations for spring plowing are progressing in an orderly manner. However, issues such as disruptions to the transportation of agricultural inputs in certain regions cannot be overlooked.

Pan Wenbo, Director-General of the Department of Crop Production Management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: At present, while ensuring effective epidemic prevention and control, we must also ensure the adequate supply of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. In particular, it is essential to keep logistics channels open and ensure that these agricultural inputs can reach villages and retail outlets, thereby meeting the needs of spring‑time farming for seeds, fertilizers, and plant protection products.

This year’s No. 1 Central Document clearly states that total grain output will remain stable at over 650 million metric tons. Pan Wenbo emphasized that major grain-producing regions should seize the critical off-season period before spring planting to accelerate the development of high-standard farmland and strive to boost production capacity. They should also conduct trials and demonstrations of new varieties, technologies, and equipment, and showcase integrated solutions, thereby driving large-scale yield increases and quality improvements in grain production.

Pan Wenbo, Director-General of the Department of Crop Production under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, stated that it is essential to vigorously and orderly advance spring plowing and preparation—activities that lay the foundation for the year’s grain production—and to follow up on the implementation of policies supporting grain production in order to stabilize the area sown to grain.
