Ministry Of Agriculture: The Spring Sowing Area Of Cotton Is Expected To Increase Slightly In 2010.

The Ministry of Agriculture recently said at a news conference that it is expected that this year's grain crops will be sown 1 billion 642 million mu, an increase of more than 7 million mu over the previous year.

Among them, the area of spring sown grain reached 900 million mu, an increase of about 8000000 Mu over the previous year.

In recent years, the fluctuation of production and price of a few agricultural products has aroused the concern of the society and the media.

The State Council held a meeting to crack down on farm products speculation, and the three departments of the NDRC jointly issued a document to combat hoarding and driving up prices of agricultural products.

The Ministry of Agriculture held a regular press conference in May 28th. Sui Pengfei, inspector of market and Economic Information Department of the Ministry of agriculture, Ma Shuping, deputy director of the Department of crop planting, introduced the recent situation in the operation of agricultural products market and answered reporters' questions.

In introducing the current crop production situation, Ma Shuping said that this year, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to agriculture and grain production. In view of the special difficulties brought by the continuous low temperature in the northern region and the severe drought in Southwest China, many meetings were held to arrange the work in a timely manner, and a series of policies and measures to further support agricultural production were introduced.

The agricultural departments at all levels conscientiously carry out the central government's decision-making and deployment, intensify the implementation of policies, actively respond to the impact of abnormal climate, adjust the technological line in a timely manner, innovate the service mode, give full play to the role of agricultural machinery, seize the favorable opportunity for good weather since May, and speed up the progress of spring sowing in a thousand ways, strive to improve the quality of spring sowing and ensure the implementation of the spring sowing area.

Ma Shuping said that based on the annual planting intention, on the basis of the steady development of grain production, the economic crops showed a trend of coordinated development, and the planting structure was further optimized.

First, the stable increase of grain area.

According to the agricultural dispatch, it is estimated that this year's grain planting area will be 1 billion 642 million mu, an increase of more than 7 million mu over the previous year.

Among them, the area of spring sown grain reached 900 million mu, an increase of about 8000000 Mu over the previous year.

The two is the increase in sugar area recovery.

Because of the global sugar reduction last year, the market price rebounded overall, driving farmers' planting intention to increase, and sugar planting area showed a restorative increase.

The current spring plan has been completed and sugar area has increased over the previous year.

Three, the area of cotton and oil is basically stable.

From the current progress of spring sowing, spring sowing cotton and oilseeds are coming to an end, and the sown area is slightly higher than that of last year.
