[Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: Closely Monitor the Impact of Super El Niño and Solidly Promote the Construction of High-Standard Farmland] On September 21, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a national video conference on agricultural production during the autumn harvest season. The conference emphasized the need to stabilize winter wheat production by all means, to ensure the shared responsibility of the Party and government for food security, to implement planting area targets, to improve planting quality, and to combine controlling excessive growth with promoting robust seedling development before winter to lay a solid foundation for next year's summer grain production. The integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy will promote large-scale yield increases in rapeseed, and multiple measures will be taken to enhance oilseed production capacity. Close attention must be paid to the impact of the super El Niño climate, and emergency plans for meteorological disasters and pests and diseases must be refined. The construction of high-standard farmland must be solidly promoted, and the repair and improvement of farmland ditches and the management of flood-prone areas in plains must be continuously carried out. Shortcomings in emergency response capabilities such as drying and storage must be addressed quickly to improve agricultural disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. Efforts should be made to ensure stable prices and supply of agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, and to vigorously promote water-saving and fertilizer-saving technologies such as integrated water and fertilizer management to effectively guarantee the fertilizer needs of agricultural production.
