Research on the Characteristics,Problems,and Countermeasures of Grain Production in Hunan Province in the New Century
Hunan is one of the 13 main grain-producing provinces in China,playing an irreplaceable role in ensuring China's food security.At present,its rice area and yield rank the first and second respectively in China,and its double-cropping rice production ranks at the forefront of the country all year round.Based on the statistical data of Hunan grain production since the new century,the paper analyzes the characteristics and problems of Hunan grain production in the new century,and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to stabilize and increase grain production sustainably in Hunan.The characteristics of Hunan grain production in the new century are mainly as follows:the planting area decreases,and the yield increases;the financial input continues to grow;there are many new varieties and technologies,which are widely popularized and applied;agricultural infrastructure continues to improve.Since the new century,Hunan grain production has been faced with some problems:the difficulty in stabilizing the grain planting area increases;there are still weak links in the construction of agricultural infrastructure;the benefit of growing grain is relatively low,and the enthusiasm of farmers is not high;the contribution rate of improved varieties to grain output increase is not high,and the increase of per unit yield is relatively slow.Hence,the paper puts forward the countermeasures and suggestions for Hunan grain production in the new century,including stabilizing the production area,raising the per unit yield level,and improving the subsidy policy.
