CCTV News: On January 20, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences on "The achievements of China's high-quality economic development" to introduce the relevant situation of "consolidating the basic foundation of the 'three rural areas' and solidly promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas".

At the meeting, Pan Wenbo, director of the Planting Industry Management Department (Pesticide Management Department) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs regards stabilizing the production and supply of "vegetable basket" products as an important task in the current "three rural" work, and my country is actively stabilizing production, promoting sales and ensuring supply. Overall, the supply of "vegetable basket" products during the Spring Festival is completely guaranteed.

He said that according to the agricultural situation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the national vegetable area output will increase both times in 2024. The current vegetable area in the fields is 80.2 million mu, an increase of about 800,000 mu over the same period last year. Since the beginning of winter, the temperature is relatively high and the light is relatively sufficient. Whether it is facility vegetables or open-field vegetables, they are growing well. The number of winter storage vegetables is not small, and the production of meat, eggs, milk and other products are also stable. It should be said that the supply is sufficient. At the same time, large and medium-sized cities organize supply through multiple channels and channels to appropriately increase stockpiling volume. Therefore, we say that the foundation for stabilizing production and supply of "vegetable basket" products is very solid.

The next step is to tighten the mayor’s responsibility system of “vegetable basket” and guide local governments to take targeted measures. First, we will focus on monitoring, strengthen agricultural situation scheduling and market dynamic monitoring, timely release supply and demand information, reasonably guide the listing period, and promote balanced supply. The second is to stabilize production, timely release disaster warning information, strengthen production guidance services, strengthen quality and safety supervision, and ensure sufficient supply and reliable quality. The third is to smooth circulation, promote local governments to implement the "green channel" policy for transportation of fresh agricultural products, improve the emergency response mechanism for purchasing and selling agricultural products, broaden sales channels, so that farmers do not have to worry about selling, and citizens can buy with confidence, so that everyone can have a safe New Year.
