At present, during the traditional winter slack season, the vast Sanxiang fertile field is busy.
High-standard farmland is under construction. In the greenhouse, fruits and vegetables such as peppers and tomatoes are warm for the winter. On the modern rice production line, granular rice is turned into finely packaged rice, and the whole process is controlled by computer. On the automatic intelligent screening production line, oranges are cleaned, sorted and packaged, and then transported to Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area …
The lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full. Hunan, known as the "land of plenty", has always been an important production base of high-quality agricultural products in China, and has made important contributions to ensuring national food security and the supply of major agricultural products.
Thanks to modern production technology and business model, the "Hunan" of fish and rice is better than the past. In 2023, Hunan’s total grain output was 61.36 billion Jin, of which rice planting area and output ranked first in the country.
Fertile land is used for food, and the basic agricultural sector is becoming more and more stable.
To ensure high grain yield, Hunan should pay close attention to, stabilize, and do a good job in fertile fields and water conservancy.
"The original dump and mixing station are now planted with rapeseed, which is really good." Recently, residents of the new urban area of Dongkou Railway Station in Shaoyang City told reporters that more than 150 mu of cultivated land and forest land temporarily occupied by road network construction have been rectified and reclaimed under the promotion of relevant departments. In 2023, our province restored a total of 4536 mu of cultivated land.
Strictly observe the red line of cultivated land. The provincial party committee and the provincial government attach great importance to the protection of cultivated land. From adhering to the red line of cultivated land to implementing the strategy of "storing grain in the ground" to protecting cultivated land like protecting giant pandas, not only the quantity of cultivated land is guaranteed, but also the quality standards are improved.
At present, all localities take advantage of the winter leisure period to seize the time and catch up with the progress, and carry out high-standard farmland construction and water conservancy winter repair. In 2023, Hunan built 3.45 million mu of high-standard farmland, and the accumulated investment of seven major water conservancy projects under construction was 8.627 billion yuan. In addition, the provincial level raised 1.1 billion yuan to start a three-year operation for the construction and management of small agricultural water conservancy facilities.
"Good fields come to hand and show their talents." Caitaoyuan Village, Tongguan Street, Wangcheng District, Changsha City, built 1,400 mu of high-standard farmland last year. The villagers once transferred 800 mu of double-cropping rice, established a modern seedling raising factory, and bought several transplanters and dryers to make high-standard farmland produce high benefits.
Up to now, Hunan has built a total of 42.5 million mu of high-standard farmland. High-standard farmland mainly flows to the hands of large grain growers, realizing the matching of "fertile land+improved varieties+good methods", increasing the comprehensive grain production capacity per mu by about 100 kilograms, and increasing production and efficiency by cutting costs per mu more than 200 yuan.
High quality farmland produces high quality food. The whole province, from top to bottom, the party and government have the same responsibility to grasp grain production, and the grain planting area has increased steadily. In 2023, the province’s grain planting area was 71.453 million mu, exceeding the planned task by 103,000 mu.
With the help of science and technology, agricultural production is getting easier and easier.
In the deep winter, more than 2,300 builders are racing against time to seize the construction period at the construction site of the Yuelushan Laboratory Agricultural University Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Strong farming must be strong planting. Hunan has built a state-level modern seed industry industrial park and a provincial Nanfan scientific research and breeding park with high standards, and the Yuelushan laboratory has entered trial operation. At present, hybrid rice in our province has achieved five consecutive rounds of high-yield jumps, and hybrid rice seed production and sales rank first in the country. The yield per mu of 10,000 mu of contiguous demonstration plots of saline-alkali tolerant rice in northwest China exceeded 573.8 kg, and the first rice variety with low cadmium accumulation approved by the state was bred. At the same time, the province has intensified the promotion of fine varieties, and the main crop varieties have basically achieved full coverage.
Give full play to the strength of science and technology to revitalize generate, a traditional agricultural province. The contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress in the province has increased from 58% in 2012 to about 64% in 2022, which is 3 percentage points higher than the national average. More and more farmers are moving from "relying on the weather" to "relying on science and technology", so that limited resources can produce more benefits.
Pengsheng Modern Agriculture Company in Shigu District, Hengyang City has built a high-standard multi-span greenhouse of 125,000 square meters, and the vegetable planting has changed from the traditional two crops a year to three to four crops a year. The Fengrui Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Yueyang County has built the largest seedling-raising factory in dry land in the province, with a daily seedling-raising capacity of nearly 1,000 mu. The staff of Ziyang Fish Breeding Farm can control the 1,400-square-meter factory with one mobile phone. Taojiang Fulilai Technology Co., Ltd. turned livestock manure into green organic fertilizer, which not only purified the environment but also promoted the reduction of chemical fertilizer …
The fundamental way out for agricultural modernization lies in mechanization. Give full play to the role of Hunan intelligent agricultural machinery innovation research and development center. In the past three years, Hunan has independently developed 41 "small and clever" characteristic machines suitable for hilly areas in the south.
In the past three years, the main link of grain and oil production in Hunan has been subsidized by 2.113 billion yuan, which has driven the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvest in the province to increase steadily, and the total power of agricultural machinery and equipment ranks sixth in the country.
Market-oriented, the benefit of growing grain is getting better and better
For a long time, the benefit of growing grain was not high, and "who will grow grain" and "how to grow grain" became a difficult problem. Committed to improving the efficiency of growing grain, Hunan has vigorously supported leading agricultural enterprises, farmers’ cooperatives, family farms and other new business entities for many years, promoted moderate-scale operation and developed agricultural socialized services.
The service subjects purchase the means of production in a centralized way, carry out large-scale mechanical operations in a unified way, implement standardized large-scale production, and send new varieties, technologies, agricultural machinery and other services to village households to achieve high quality and good price, increase production and income.
At present, 88,000 agricultural socialized service organizations have emerged in the province, serving 5.45 million small farmers, taking on more than 60% of the province’s grain production, and increasing the income per mu by more than 180 yuan.
In addition, Hunan explores and innovates in rural areas, revitalizes idle resources and swells farmers’ pockets.
In the Rural Property Rights Exchange Center of Heshan District, Yiyang City, 150,000 mu of cultivated land resources in the whole region are packaged into transferable project products in units of villages and plots, which intelligently match the customers in the national market of the Agricultural Exchange Center, ensuring the standardized and efficient transfer of land projects and improving the transfer income of farmers’ contracted land.
In Beihu District of Chenzhou City, through the action of "Awakening Old Houses", 316 old houses were renovated and used for catering, homestay, handicraft workshops, cultural heritage, rural youth entrepreneurship and agricultural products processing.
Explore the multiple functions of agriculture and develop the multiple values of rural areas. In recent years, Hunan has vigorously developed leisure agriculture and agricultural products processing industry, promoted the vigorous development of rural industries, and injected a steady stream of kinetic energy into the development of modern agriculture.
There are 17,300 leisure agriculture business entities in the province. The Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs predicts that the number of leisure agriculture receptions in the province will reach 238 million in 2023, up 13% year-on-year, and operational income will reach 53.5 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year.
At present, Hunan has established 13 national agricultural modernization demonstration zones, 10 national modern agricultural industrial parks and 71 national agricultural industrial towns. The total number of leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization at or above the provincial level is close to 1,000, and there are 22 agricultural listed enterprises in the province, ranking first in central China. The sales revenue of agricultural products processing industry reached 2.1 trillion yuan in 2022, ranking first in the country.
