Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs launched the “100-Day Campaign to Combat Disasters and Secure a Bountiful Autumn Grain Harvest,” calling on agricultural and rural departments across the country to prioritize grain production, rigorously implement all key measures, and strive to minimize yield losses in severely affected areas, maintain stable yields in moderately affected regions, and boost production in other areas, doing everything possible to achieve a strong autumn grain harvest.

According to reports, the bulk of annual grain production comes from the autumn harvest. At present, with the exception of late‑season double‑cropped rice, sowing of autumn crops is essentially complete. Overall, this year’s autumn‑crop acreage is expected to remain broadly stable while registering a modest increase, and crop emergence and growth are generally on track. Nevertheless, securing a bumper harvest still faces uncertainties, including regionally concentrated, short‑term droughts and floods, as well as outbreaks of major pests and diseases. To address these challenges, the “100‑Day Campaign to Combat Disasters and Ensure a Bountiful Autumn Harvest” has been launched, aiming to achieve three key objectives: first, to maintain steady growth in planted area, targeting over 1.29 billion mu of autumn crops; second, to ensure overall yield stability by leveraging technological advances to boost per‑unit yields; and third, to keep disaster‑related losses under control, limiting meteorological‑related losses to around 5% and losses from major pest and disease outbreaks to no more than 5%.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has instructed agricultural and rural departments at all levels to maintain a bottom-line mindset, strengthen risk awareness, and prioritize disaster prevention and mitigation in order to secure a bumper harvest. Emphasis should be placed on key regions, close monitoring of critical stages, and region‑specific, category‑based implementation, with meticulous execution of all essential measures to ensure a bountiful autumn grain harvest and a successful year‑round grain production. The following priorities must be addressed: First, enhance scientific disaster prevention and reduction. Strengthen monitoring and early warning systems, promptly disseminate alert information, and institute daily reporting for major disasters. Refine disaster prevention and response plans, implement evidence‑based countermeasures, and ensure the efficient allocation and deployment of relief supplies to meet emergency needs. Second, effectively control major pests and diseases. Focus on preventing and managing five key pests and one disease—namely, the fall armyworm, rice planthoppers, rice stem borers, corn borers, cutworms, and rice blast. Further improve the “three zones and four belts” defense strategy for the fall armyworm, implement regionally coordinated management of rice‑transferred migratory pests, and vigorously promote unified pest control and joint prevention and control efforts to curb outbreaks and epidemics. Third, provide precise, region‑ and crop‑specific guidance. Develop and issue technical guidelines for field management and disaster prevention and mitigation tailored to different crops; dispatch experts to the production frontlines to deliver technical services and conduct on‑site巡回指导, thereby increasing the adoption rate of key technologies. Deeply advance the Green, High‑Quality, and High‑Efficiency Action, integrating, assembling, and promoting regionally adapted, standardized technological models to foster balanced yield and efficiency gains across large areas. Fourth, reinforce market oversight of agricultural inputs. Intensify coordination with departments of supply and marketing, industry, and information technology to ensure the stable production and supply of key inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides; effectively manage supply‑demand imbalances and regional reallocations to guarantee a steady and reliable supply of agricultural materials.
