Autumn grain accounts for about three quarters of China’s annual grain output,
and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs says more than 90% of the
Autumn harvest is complete, making a bumper autumn crop effectively assured.
Beijing has stepped up a new round of capacity-raising measures targeting 100
billion jin (~50 mln tonnes) of additional grain output, launching for the first
time 20 large-area yield‑improvement cities and expanding whole-county
implementation from 702 to 1,000 counties to promote broader, balanced yield
gains. In Tongliao, Inner Mongolia, experts measured a 13.54 mln mu
yield‑improvement demonstration area; 4.0699 mln mu reached 'one ton per mu'
(≈15 t/ha), the strongest large-area single-yield outcome reported nationally.
