乌克兰总理乌梅罗夫：乌克兰及其伙伴将于11月4日至5日在布鲁塞尔举行会谈。

China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said on the 4th that autumn grain sown area is expected to be steady to slightly higher and more than 90% of the crop has been harvested, effectively confirming a bumper harvest. Beijing is advancing a new round of measures to raise grain production capacity by 100 bln jin, focusing on stabilizing sown area, raising per-unit yields and cutting losses. Summer grain output reached 301.49 bln jin (about 150.7 mln tonnes), the first time above 300 bln jin and a record high. Early rice output was 56.58 bln jin (about 28.3 mln tonnes), remaining above 56 bln jin for six years. Full-year grain production is likely to stay above 1.4 tln jin (about 700 mln tonnes) for a third consecutive year.
