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 at all levels to prioritize grain production, rigorously implement 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 stable while expanding slightly, and seedling emergence and growth are generally normal. However, securing a bumper harvest still faces uncertainties, including regionally localized, temporary droughts and floods, as well as outbreaks of major pests and diseases. The “100‑Day Campaign to Combat Disasters and Ensure a Bountiful Autumn Harvest” aims to achieve three key objectives: first, to maintain steady growth in planted area, striving for an autumn‑crop acreage of at least 1.29 billion mu; second, to keep overall yields stable by leveraging science and technology to boost per‑unit productivity; and third, to keep disaster losses under control, limiting meteorological‑related losses to around 5% and losses caused by 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 attention paid to critical stages of production, and region‑specific, category‑based measures implemented with meticulous execution to ensure a bountiful autumn grain harvest and a successful year‑round grain output. The following priorities must be addressed: First, enhance scientific disaster prevention and reduction. Strengthen monitoring and early warning systems, promptly issue alerts, and institute daily reporting for major disasters. Refine disaster prevention and response plans, implement scientifically sound 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 five pests and one disease—namely, the fall armyworm, rice planthoppers, rice leafrollers, corn borers, cutworms, and rice blast. Further improve the “three zones and four belts” deployment strategy for the fall armyworm, adopt regionally coordinated management of migratory rice pests, and vigorously promote integrated pest management and joint prevention and control to curb outbreaks and epidemics. Third, provide precise, tailored guidance by region and crop category. Develop and disseminate technical guidelines for field management and disaster prevention and mitigation for each major crop; dispatch experts to the production frontlines to deliver technical services and conduct on‑site guidance, thereby increasing the adoption rate of key technologies. Deeply implement the Green, High‑Quality, and High‑Efficiency Action, integrate, assemble, and promote regionally adapted, standardized technological models to foster balanced yield and efficiency gains across large areas. Fourth, reinforce oversight of the agricultural inputs market. 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; manage supply‑demand imbalances and facilitate inter‑regional reallocation to guarantee a steady and reliable market supply.
