62.4%
Contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress
To build an agricultural power, the sharp weapon lies in science and technology. In recent years, China’s agricultural science and technology innovation ability has been steadily improved, and the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress has increased from 54.5% in 2012 to 62.4% in 2022, which has provided strong kinetic energy for the high-quality development of agriculture. Science and technology are the fundamental way to stabilize and increase grain production. All regions and departments are guided by tackling key agricultural core technologies and oriented by industrial demand, focusing on chassis technology, key agricultural machinery and equipment, and constantly strengthening agricultural science and technology support.
With the support of science and technology, farming will become a "smart farming". Modern information technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and Beidou navigation have been accelerated in planting production, and technologies and equipment such as precision sowing, smart irrigation and plant protection drones have been widely promoted. Sending skills to the fields and serving the villages, nearly 500,000 agricultural extension workers in China play an irreplaceable role in stabilizing grain supply, increasing production and income. A new technology has landed, and the fields are full of scientific and technological kinetic energy, highlighting the hard support of the "golden pole" of agricultural modernization. With the help of science and technology, agricultural production is constantly improving quality and efficiency.
1 billion mu
Built-up area of high standard farmland
Cultivated land is the lifeblood of food production, and farmland construction is a key measure to consolidate the foundation of food security in all directions. In recent years, with the joint efforts of various regions and departments, the work of farmland water conservancy has been solidly promoted, and the construction of high-standard farmland has been steadily accelerated, which has played an important role in ensuring the stable and safe supply of grain and important agricultural products. By the end of 2022, a total of 1 billion mu of high-standard farmland had been built in China, thus ensuring a stable grain production capacity of more than 1 trillion Jin, providing a basic support for ensuring a stable and safe supply of grain and important agricultural products. In the first ten months of this year, about 60.5 million mu of high-standard farmland construction was completed nationwide.
High-standard farmland has strong ability to preserve soil, fertilizer and water, and the average grain yield per mu is generally increased by 10%-20%, with high and stable yield, drought and flood, and green planting … At present, the quality of cultivated land in China has entered a stage of continuous improvement and overall improvement.
Insist on storing grain on the ground and storing grain in technology, vigorously promote the construction of farmland water conservancy and high-standard farmland in all localities, and continuously improve the quality of cultivated land, laying a solid foundation for ensuring national food security and accelerating the construction of an agricultural power.
73%
Comprehensive mechanization rate of farming and harvesting
Advanced mechanical equipment is an important material basis for storing grain in technology. At present, the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvest in China has exceeded 73%, with 1.8 million sets of agricultural machinery and equipment equipped with Beidou positioning operation terminal, and the foundation of granaries in big countries has been continuously consolidated.
Agricultural mechanization has brought about changes in production methods. Sprinkle the medicinal plant protection drone, and you can apply fertilizer accurately by clicking the screen of the mobile phone; The electric-driven high-performance seeder cooperates with Beidou navigation and driving, and the linear error is less than 2.5 cm … In the sky, in the ground and in the internet, all kinds of intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment "show their talents", and mobile phones have become "new farm tools".
Agricultural mechanization is an important guarantee for grain saving and loss reduction. In the past, harvesting wheat by hand was time-consuming and laborious, and the loss was 5%-8%. Nowadays, the average harvest loss under normal conditions is only about 1%, and the new intelligent Beidou navigation combine can further reduce the harvest loss.
At present, agricultural mechanization is accelerating from the cultivation and harvesting of main crops to the whole process of grain production such as straw treatment and drying. Vigorously promote agricultural mechanization and intelligence, and insert the wings of science and technology into agricultural modernization.
23 million people
Number of rural practical talents
The key to rural revitalization lies in people. At present, there are more than 23 million rural practical talents in China, of which 8 million have cultivated high-quality farmers. In recent years, the demonstration and driving ability of rural practical talents has been continuously enhanced, and more and more high-quality farmers have joined the vast countryside. In 2022, the proportion of high-quality farmers who obtained the titles of peasant technicians and national vocational qualification certificates increased by 6.64 percentage points and 3.46 percentage points respectively compared with that in 2021. The participation of a large number of new forces such as college graduates and migrant workers has promoted the continuous improvement of the rural talent team structure.
At present, all localities and departments actively build nests to attract phoenix, strengthen the combination of local training of rural talents and external introduction, implement talent engineering projects, increase policy support, optimize the entrepreneurial environment and corresponding services, and guide more talents who love agriculture, understand technology and are good at management to join modern agriculture and rural construction. We will implement the project of cultivating "Head Goose" for rural industry revitalization leaders, carry out training for rural practical talents, further give full play to the leading role of high-quality farmers in the fields of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and inject new kinetic energy into rural comprehensive revitalization.
96%
Coverage rate of improved varieties of crops
Seed is the "chip" of agriculture, and improved varieties play a key role in promoting grain production. In recent years, the revitalization of seed industry has been solidly promoted and a number of breakthrough results have been achieved. At present, the coverage rate of improved varieties of crops in China is over 96%, the contribution rate of improved varieties in agricultural production is over 45%, and the area of self-selected varieties accounts for over 95%.
This year is the third year of seed industry revitalization in China. As of October, more than 530,000 germplasm resources of crops, livestock and poultry and aquatic products have been newly collected in China, and the "national team" of improved seed breeding consisting of 216 crop seed production bases and 300 livestock and poultry breeding stations has improved its seed supply support capacity from 70% to 75%. Generally speaking, China’s seed science and technology has been at the advanced level in the world. This year, all localities focused on promoting high-oil and high-yield soybean varieties, the quality of soybeans was significantly improved, and the variety structure was further optimized.
Promoting the revitalization of seed industry for a long time. It is necessary to give further play to the institutional advantages, accelerate the self-reliance and self-reliance of high-level seed industry science and technology, guide resource elements to gather in seed industry enterprises, and realize the modernization of the whole industry chain of seed industry.
6.2 million
Number of new agricultural management entities
Strong management system is one of the important characteristics of a strong agricultural country. By the end of September this year, there were more than 2.21 million farmers’ cooperatives and nearly 4 million family farms, and the number of new agricultural business entities reached 6.2 million. More than 1.07 million organizations have provided socialized services and become farmers’ intimate "field nannies", serving more than 91 million small farmers, covering over 1.97 billion mu.
Organize the advantages of farmers to appear. Farmers’ cooperative members take farmers as the main body, organize small farmers to carry out specialized production and large-scale operation on the basis of stabilizing the contracted management of farmers’ families, and cooperate to break into the market, thus effectively improving the efficiency of agricultural operation. As an effective organizational form to develop moderate scale management and modern agriculture under the market economy, cooperatives and family farms give new connotations to the two-tier management system and inject vigorous vitality into the rural basic management system.
Service-driven ability is enhanced. The business scope of cooperatives and family farms covers the production of major agricultural products such as grain, cotton, oil, meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables, tea, etc., and has carried out contiguous planting and large-scale feeding, making a number of advantageous industries with "township name" and "local name" bigger and stronger, and promoting the integrated development of rural primary, secondary and tertiary industries.
