en.Wedoany.com Reported - The pace of the national summer grain harvest has accelerated, with 200 million mu of wheat harvested as of 5:00 PM on June 6, achieving a progress rate of 58.87%. The wheat harvest progress in Anhui and Henan has exceeded 95% and 90%, respectively, while Jiangsu has surpassed 55%, Shaanxi and Shandong over 25%, and Hebei and Shanxi close to 10%. In areas such as Nanyang, Henan, large combine harvesters have been deployed, completing the harvesting and threshing of one mu of land in less than 10 minutes. A bountiful summer grain harvest is regarded as a crucial foundation for stabilizing the annual economy.
The "Plan for Accelerating the Construction of an Agricultural Powerhouse (2024–2035)" was released in April 2025, outlining the overall strategy for accelerating the development of an agricultural powerhouse. The plan prioritizes ensuring the stable and secure supply of grain and key agricultural products, takes the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization as a key component, and is driven by the dual engines of technology and reform. It emphasizes relying on China's own capabilities to secure food security, developing agriculture based on the dual-tier management system, advancing ecological and low-carbon agriculture, preserving farming civilization, and steadily promoting common prosperity. Grain output has remained stable at over 1.4 trillion jin for two consecutive years.
In terms of industrial revitalization, various regions are developing rural specialty industries tailored to local conditions. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs supported the construction of 210 advantageous and distinctive industrial clusters, 250 modern agricultural parks, and 1,098 projects for strong agricultural industry towns, fostering a number of specialized villages and towns such as Apple Village, Wood Ear Township, and Daylily Town. Currently, there are 94,000 agricultural leading enterprises at the county level and above nationwide, including 2,250 national-level leading enterprises. With technological support, the contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress has exceeded 64%, and China's agricultural science and technology innovation has entered the world's top tier. Urgently needed varieties such as high-quality high-yield rice and water-saving disease-resistant wheat have been bred, while breeds like white-feathered broiler chickens and Huaxi cattle have broken foreign monopolies. The "15th Five-Year Plan for Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization" proposes, for the first time, the cultivation and expansion of emerging and future industries in the agricultural sector.
In terms of rural construction, since the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, various regions have continuously improved the rural living environment. Data shows that the penetration rate of sanitary toilets in rural areas has reached approximately 77%, the treatment rate of domestic sewage has reached 55%, the total mileage of rural roads has exceeded 4.64 million kilometers, the tap water penetration rate has reached 96%, and the 5G coverage rate in administrative villages has exceeded 95%. The proportion of administrative villages where village clinics are included in the medical insurance designated points has reached over 98%, and the share of diagnosis and treatment volume at primary-level medical and health institutions has reached 52.6%. Regular monitoring and assistance to prevent a return to poverty are being continuously implemented.
According to the plan's targets, by 2027, significant progress will be made in building an agricultural powerhouse, substantial results will be achieved in comprehensive rural revitalization, and agricultural and rural modernization will reach a new level. By 2035, notable achievements will be made in constructing an agricultural powerhouse, with agricultural modernization basically realized. By the middle of this century, an agricultural powerhouse will be fully established, with complete urban-rural integration and comprehensive rural revitalization.
