Recently, authorities in Jilin province held a conference on water conservation for winter
and spring farmland as well as on high quality farmland construction. Authorities plan that by 2025, Jilin
Province will create 3.2 million hectares of high quality farmland and transform and upgrade 253 thousand hectares of farmland. By 2030, Jilin province will create 3.9 million hectares of high quality
farmland. These plans aim to increase agricultural
production in Jilin Province.
Recently, the Department of Agriculture and
Rural Affairs of Jilin Province issued a "Notice on Accelerating the
Construction of a High Quality Farmland Construction Planning System",
which requires all parts of the province to draft farmland construction plans
in the region, and carefully plan new farmland upgrading projects as part of
China's fourteenth Five Year Plan. Among the goals of the Five Year Plan are
the increase of grain production in key areas, protection of imporant
agricultural areas, and the establishment of permanent basic farmland. The farmland construction layouts, goals, and
funding arrangements should be clarified by local authorities, and tasks should
be assigned to townships and land parcels in order to complete these plans.
Xi Jin Ping urges Jilin Province to protect and utilize chernozem
"black soil" farmland
In 2021, the Jilin Provincial Party Committee
and the Provincial Government implemented ideas given by General Secretary Xi
Jin Ping in a speech made after an espection of the agricultural measures of
Jilin Province in 2020, as well as to strictly protect and use chernozem, known
colloquially as "black soil." These measures aim to stabilize and
increase grain production, as well as to increase farmers' income.
This year, Jilin Province has ushered in a
bountiful harvest. The abundant grain harvest and the increase in production
have helped Jilin Province solidly promote the construction of high-quality
farmland, and in 2021, the province planned to build 330 thousand hectares of
high-quality farmland. During November, Jilin Province already succeeded in creating
250 thousand hectares of high-quality farmland, and 23 thousand hectares of
land was dedicated to efficient water-saving irrigation methods. In November,
these plans were completed to 75% and 121% of their targets, respectively, and
these plans played an important role in the abundant harvest achieved this
year. The province will ensure that the remaining part of the project is
completed on schedule before the end of this year.
Jilin
authorities collaborate with experts to advance agricultural technology
The Deputy Governor of Jilin Province spoke to
the press regarding these plans for agriculture production. The Deputy Governor
stated that in the year of 2021, the provincial Party committee and the
provincial government of Jilin Province made a focused effort on strengthening
their protection of chernozem in order to maintain China's food security and to
implement the key ideas given by General Secretary Xi Jin Ping in his speech
made after his inspection of Jilin province's agricultural facilities. The
provincial authorities of Jilin province also hired four academics to form an
expert committee on agricultural matters and signed a cooperation agreement
with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in order to strengthen agricultural
efforts. Furthermore, the provincial authorities made plans to invest more
resources into the development of scientific technology for the purpose of
creating and advancing chernozem granaries.
