ENGLISH Translation中文 原文

CCTV.com reports (Xinwen Lianbo): The latest agricultural monitoring by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the autumn grain harvest nationwide has entered its peak period, with more than 60% completed.

央视网消息(新闻联播):农业农村部最新农情调度显示,目前全国秋粮收获进入高峰期,进度过六成。

Northeast China accounts for nearly 40% of both the country's autumn grain acreage and output. Weather conditions during the autumn grain growing season in most of the northeast have generally been favorable this year, benefiting grain filling and safe maturation, with a promising outlook for yields. In a 260-mu soybean yield improvement plot at Beidahuang's 856 Farm in Heilongjiang, an expert team measured yields through actual harvesting and recorded a strong average yield of 683.63 jin per mu, setting a new high-yield record for hundred-mu-scale soybean production fields in Heilongjiang.

东北地区秋粮面积、产量占全国秋粮近四成,今年东北大部分地区秋粮生育期内气象条件总体有利,利于籽粒灌浆和安全成熟,产量形势较好。在黑龙江北大荒八五六农场260亩大豆单产提升田块,专家组开展实收测产,得出平均亩产683.63斤的好成绩,刷新黑龙江大豆百亩生产田高产纪录。

03

The Huang–Huai–Hai region accounts for around one-quarter of both the country's autumn grain acreage and output. In Yingshang, Anhui, 720,000 mu of rice are ripening in succession, ushering in harvesting on a large scale. The locality has deployed 100,000 agricultural machines and equipment units or sets of various types, including more than 2,600 tracked harvesters, and established 108 grain drying sites to prevent wet soil or sudden rainfall from affecting harvest progress.

黄淮海秋粮面积、产量占全国秋粮四分之一左右。在安徽颍上,72万亩水稻陆续成熟,迎来大面积收获。当地投入各类农机具10万台(套),其中履带式收割机2600多台,并设置了108个粮食烘干点,防止因土壤潮湿或突然降雨影响收获进度。

04

Recent weather in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been clear, with suitable temperatures benefiting the grain filling and maturation of late rice. Overall weather conditions in southwest China have been relatively good this year, with significantly less severe disasters. Autumn grain crops in northwest China are growing well, and harvesting is accelerating.

长江中下游近期天气晴好、温度适宜,利于晚稻灌浆成熟。西南地区今年气象年景总体较好,灾害明显偏轻。西北地区秋粮长势良好,收获加快推进。

05

Since this year's autumn harvest began, harvesting in China's major autumn grain-producing areas has proceeded relatively smoothly, slightly ahead of the usual pace, and another bumper autumn grain harvest is expected.

今年秋收以来,全国秋粮主产区秋收进展较为顺利,进度略快于常年,秋粮有望再获丰收。
