China has continuously strengthened its food self-sufficiency, as seen in every annual government report. Everyone must work together to ensure that the country's "rice bag" and "vegetable basket" are well-filled and that we have a secure food supply for more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, as laid out in the country's government work report on March 5, 2022.

The country held a National Grain Security Publicity Week from Oct. 10 to 16, with the theme of "ensuring food supplies and securing Chinese rice bowls."
