Food and energy are the top priorities for China’s national security. Cong Liang, director of the National Grain and Material Reserve Bureau of the mainland, said that China’s per capita grain output will reach 483.5 kilograms in 2021, exceeding the international safety line. In addition, under the influence of many factors such as the current tight energy supply and demand and geopolitical changes, Ren Jingdong, deputy director of the National Energy Administration of the mainland, said that by 2025, China’s domestic comprehensive energy production capacity will reach more than 4.6 billion tons of standard coal; In 2025, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will reach about 20%.
Cong Liang said that China’s grain output has remained above 1.3 trillion catties for seven consecutive years since 2015; China’s per capita grain output has reached 483.5 kilograms. Even without considering imported supplements and abundant stocks, per capita grain output alone has exceeded the internationally recognized food safety line of 400 kilograms.
Cong Liang said that the national arable land area in the mainland is 1.918 billion mu, 1.058 billion mu of grain production functional areas and important agricultural product production protection areas have been designated, 900 million mu of high-standard farmland has been built, and the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress has reached 61%. achieve full coverage. Grain circulation remains efficient and smooth. Standard warehouses across the continent have an intact storage capacity of 700 million tons, and storage conditions have generally reached the world’s advanced level.
In addition, Ren Jingdong said that China, as a major energy producer and consumer, ensures energy security is always the primary task of doing a good job in energy work, and will maintain the bottom line of energy security from three aspects.
Ren Jingdong said that the first is to consolidate the foundation and strengthen the foundation. Adhere to the domestic diversified supply to ensure security, give full play to the role of coal ballast and the basic regulatory role of coal power, vigorously enhance oil and gas exploration and development, and strive to achieve China’s domestic comprehensive annual energy production capacity of 4.6 billion tons of standard coal or more by 2025. At the same time, it is necessary to further establish and improve the coal and oil reserve system to ensure that the energy supply maintains a reasonable elastic margin.
Ren Jingdong said that the second is orderly replacement to ensure that the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will reach about 20% by 2025 and about 25% by 2030. The third is risk management. Continue to strengthen bottom-line thinking and risk awareness, vigorously promote the building of energy security monitoring and early warning capabilities, and establish and improve early warning mechanisms for coal, oil and gas, and electricity supply and demand. The goal is to resolutely ensure the safety of people’s production and life.
