Imagine fields of golden wheat stretching towards the horizon, symbolizing progress in food security and rural vitality. A new report from the Chinese Agriculture Outlook Committee under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the Chinese mainland is on track to break last year's record and reach 709 million tonnes of grain output in 2025.
Last year, grain production on the Chinese mainland hit a record-high of 706.5 million tonnes. With large-scale efforts to boost per-unit crop yields and growing enthusiasm among farmers, the report projects a 2.5 million tonne increase for 2025. Soybean output is also expected to rise by 2.5 percent year on year, reaching 21.17 million tonnes.
As domestic production grows and consumption cools slightly, imports of bulk agricultural products are likely to dip. Over the next decade, analysts anticipate a breakthrough in overall productivity, stronger risk-management capabilities and more resilient food systems.
This upward trend not only reinforces the Chinese mainland's capacity to supply grain and key agricultural products, but also has ripple effects on global markets and sustainability goals. As the sector evolves, the world will be watching these developments closely to see how they shape future food security and economic landscapes.
