Streamlined grain procurement strengthens national granary

Henan Daily

Zhengzhou: As a major wheat-producing region in China, Henan has been diligently advancing its summer grain procurement efforts, which are crucial not only for securing the livelihoods of millions of farmers, but also for maintaining market stability and encouraging grain production. In recent years, Henan has focused on market-driven procurement, offering tailored services to overcome challenges in grain purchasing and sales. By ensuring that every grain is accounted for and transformed into tangible income for farmers, Henan is steadily making China’s national grain reserves more stable and sufficient.

Making grain sales easier and more reassuring for farmers starts with paying attention to the details. In the past, long queues and complicated procedures were major challenges during the summer grain procurement season. Today, with the widespread use of digital and smart platforms, farmers can easily sell their grain online. From timely weather updates to precise guidance on scientific grain storage, Henan is providing thoughtful services that honor the hard work of farmers.

Advancing summer grain procurement with high quality is a complex and systematic task that requires seamless collaboration across multiple departments. This includes strengthening communication with meteorological and transportation agencies to ensure smooth and orderly procurement processes; providing technical guidance on grain drying and storage to help farmers minimize post-harvest losses; and enhancing the connection between production and sales, as well as fostering stronger ties between farmers and enterprises to improve circulation efficiency for high-quality development of the grain industry. As the saying goes, “Grain and farmers are crucial to national stability.” By aligning services with market demand and pursuing innovation, Henan is working tirelessly to improve summer grain procurement, turning farmers’ hard work into tangible income, strengthening food security, and supporting rural revitalization.
