The Information Office of the State Council held a press conference today. Relevant officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that the agricultural and rural economy maintained a steady, moderate and positive momentum in the first half of this year, providing strong support for the national economy to continue its overall stability and move towards a new positive trend. We enjoyed a good harvest of summer grains. Summer grain production overcame the effects of large-scale late sowing and multiple rounds of rainfall during the harvest period. Production reached 301.49 billion kg, breaking 300 billion kg for the first time, achieving success in the first round of grain production throughout the year; summer harvest oil also had another good harvest. The area under cultivation of autumn grains is expected to increase steadily and slightly. Field crops are generally growing normally, and there is a good basis for seizing a good harvest of grain throughout the year.
