全国收购秋粮超1亿吨

CCTV.com report (Xinwen Lianbo): Autumn grain purchasing is now getting underway across China, with cumulative purchases exceeding 100 million tonnes and progress broadly on par with last year.

The latest monitoring figures from the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration show that autumn grain purchasing has made a steady start. More than 41 million tonnes of mid- and late-season rice have been purchased, while corn and soybeans are entering the market in concentrated volumes; supplies in the northeast are gradually increasing.

In Hengshan Village, Boli County, Heilongjiang, 18 newly commissioned air-drying silos have welcomed their “new residents”—moist corn is carried along conveyor belts to the tops of the 18-meter-high silos, where exposure to the wind naturally reduces its moisture content.

As newly harvested grain is being brought into storage faster, grain storage is also becoming smarter. Integrated inspections combining “air, space, ground, silos, and people” are gradually being rolled out—drones patrol overhead and inspection robots check on the ground, rapidly transmitting grain temperature, humidity, and pest information.

This year's autumn grain purchasing began in late September and is expected to continue until the end of April 2027. To safeguard grain farmers' earnings, the state is continuing to implement the minimum purchase price policy. Six provinces, including Hunan and Hubei, have now activated their plans for implementing minimum purchase prices for mid- and late-season rice. Sinograin has announced more than 140 storage sites with a capacity of more than 3.3 million tonnes, and has purchased nearly 1 million tonnes of mid- and late-season rice at minimum purchase prices.
