Wei Fenghua, director of the Rural Affairs Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, explained the early rice production situation and said that according to the results of the actual sampling survey results of early rice harvesting in 10 provinces, the country's early rice planting area has increased slightly, and yield has declined. Early rice production is 56.58 billion kg, which has stabilized at more than 56 billion kg for 6 consecutive years, and has remained stable overall. This year, various regions are stepping up efforts to increase large-scale yield of grain and oil crops, vigorously promoting technical measures such as plugging in machines, reasonable densification, and deep-side fertilization to promote an increase in the yield level of early rice. Since early rice was planted, most of the main production areas had a good match of light and water, and early rice grew well. During the peak season, major production areas such as Jiangnan and South China experienced continuous heavy precipitation. Early rice experienced “rain washing” in some regions, which affected pollination and fruiting. The emptiness rate increased, and the fruiting rate declined. During the ripe harvest period, major production areas such as South China were affected by multiple rounds of typhoons. Some low-lying farmland was flooded, and some plots of early rice fell, affecting early rice grouting and mature harvesting.
