Achievements in China's agriculture

1. In the area of variety cultivation, a number of excellent germplasm resources and genes have been unearthed, and the genetic mapping and sequencing of major crops such as rice, wheat and maize have been basically completed, as well as the sequencing of the genomes of animals such as pigs, cows and sheep, and the molecular breeding technology system of Holstein cattle in China has been established.

2. In terms of technological research and development, the comprehensive management of low-yield areas in the Yellow and Huaihai Plains and the two-line hybrid rice technology won the Grand Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

3. Important progress has been made in the research of animal and plant epidemic prevention and control and integrated management of pests and diseases, and the monitoring and early warning technology system for major animal and plant epidemics tends to be perfected. The research and development of highly pathogenic avian influenza vaccine is at the international leading level.

4, under the role of scientific and technological progress, over the past 40 years, China's grain yield per mu increased from 135 kilograms in 1978 to 367 kilograms in 2017, the total grain output from 300 million tons in 1978 to 400 million tons, 500 million tons, 600 million tons of consecutive steps, the total meat production for more than 20 consecutive years ranked first in the world.

Expanded Information

The production structure of Chinese agriculture includes planting, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and sideline industries; however, planting has been the mainstay for thousands of years. Because of the large population and relatively small area of arable land, grain production is especially dominant.

In the traditional concept, the cultivation of grains is almost synonymous with agricultural production.

After the 1950s, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries and secondary industries have grown on their original bases, but the proportion of their share in the composition of the total value of agricultural output has not changed much in general.

After 1979, due to the reform of the economic system in rural areas, and to determine the "never relax food production, and actively develop a variety of business" policy, the rural economy from a relatively single business to a variety of business transformation of the commodity economy forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries and by-product industries have increased on the original basis, the situation It was only then that striking changes began to appear.

The formation and change of the structure of agricultural production is subject to a variety of factors, the main ones being: natural conditions; historically formed production habits and living habits of the population; the state of productivity; and the social demand for agricultural products.

A country's socio-economic development strategy, especially the long-term approach to agricultural development and agricultural policy, often require appropriate adjustment of the structure of agricultural production, but these requirements are only affecting the change in the structure of agricultural production.

Major changes in the structure of agricultural production depend mainly on the progress of science and technology and the level of development of productive forces, which make it possible for human beings to transform the natural conditions to improve the growth conditions of animals and plants, or to transform the biological characteristics of animals and plants to adapt to the natural conditions.
