Another record high! According to data, in 2026, the country's summer grain production was 301.49 billion kg, breaking 300 billion kg for the first time, an increase of 2.0 billion kg over the previous year, an increase of 0.7%. By region, out of 25 summer grain production areas, 22 have increased production. Summer grain surpassed 300 billion kg for the first time this year. One highlight is the steady increase in summer grain yield. In 2026, the country's summer grain yield was 378.8 kg per mu, an increase of 3.2 kg over the previous year, an increase of 0.8%. Lu Xiutao, deputy director of the Planting Industry Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, pointed out that during the fall planting period last year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs earnestly implemented the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, further promoted large-scale yield improvement actions in major summer grain production areas, relied on the “hard power” of high-standard farmland, accelerated drainage and dispersion to create planting conditions, gave full play to the role of science and technology to support the “soft power” and implement key technologies to explore the potential to increase production. In particular, more than 70 million mu of dryland wheat accounts for 20% of the total area of wheat harvested in summer, and the yield has increased dramatically compared to last year.
