China will stabilize its annual grain output at over 650 billion kg and strive to beat a target of 700 bln kg by 2025 to ensure grain security, according to a five-year plan on farming released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.
The country vows to keep its grain farmland above 1.75 bln mu (about 117 mln hectares) by 2025, said the plan.
Planting acreage of grains should stay above 1.4 bln mu, while that of staple grains should be over 800 mln mu.
Major progress should be made in the farming industry by 2025, with the country's capability of providing key farming produces boosted and green production achieved, said the plan.
The planting acreage of rice, the most important staple grain in China, should be kept stable at 450 mln mu with the yield reaching around 215 bln kg by 2025.
The output of wheat, another major staple grain, should be over 140 bln kg, while that of corn will exceed 265 bln kg.
