China secured yet another bumper harvest this year, with grain output up 2 percent year on year, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Monday.
China's grain output reached nearly 1.37 trillion jin (683 billion kg) in 2021, up 13.4 billion kg from last year.
This is the seventh consecutive year that the country's total grain production has exceeded 650 billion kg.
The bumper harvest comes despite extreme regional weather conditions, including record rainstorms in Henan Province and periodical droughts in the northwestern areas, said Wang Minghua, an NBS official.
The harvest has laid a solid foundation for China to cope with complex and volatile domestic and international environments, overcome risks and challenges, and achieve high-quality development, Wang added.
