Sunbird Commentary- Strive for the -rich- harvest season in the golden autumn and secure the -Chinese rice bowl-
As October unfolds, the vast fields transform into vibrant canvases of harvest. Golden rice sways gently, and the air is fragrant with fruits, while farmers bustle about, their faces reflecting the joy of abundance. According to the latest report from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the national harvest of autumn grains is now in full swing, reaching over 40 percent completion, slightly ahead of last year’s pace.
Food security is a foundational pillar for our nation. In this season of harvest, the landscape is dotted with scenes of productivity and happiness. Each farm embodies hope and celebration—symbolizing the fruits of a year’s hard work. The autumn grain yield accounts for three-quarters of the year’s total grain production, underscoring its significance. As farmers work tirelessly to secure their harvest, the drive to ensure every grain is accounted for remains paramount. This effort is viewed as crucial for maintaining our nation’s food supply, enabling countless individuals to feel confident about their food security.
Moreover, as we celebrate this abundance, there is an opportunity to enhance rural tourism. By developing diverse tourism routes and offerings, we can create engaging experiences that invite more people to join in the celebration of the harvest. This not only highlights local culture but also empowers the overall revitalization of rural areas.
The gratifying harvest we see is a testament to labor well spent. The cyclical nature of agriculture—spring planting, summer nurturing, autumn harvesting, and winter storage—illustrates both the value of timely farming and the ongoing dedication to sustaining our nation’s food resources. Each farm tells its own story of hard work, contributing to our country’s food security. With advances in technology, we are committed to storing food in both the ground and through innovative practices. Each step, from mechanized production to intelligent planting techniques, plays a role in ensuring that we grow high-quality crops, enriching our national food supply.
This picturesque season is not just about the livelihood of over 1.4 billion people; it’s about uncovering new opportunities for growth among the colorful landscapes of harvest and unique cultural traditions. By integrating agriculture with tourism, we aim to strengthen food security while revitalizing agricultural resources. This includes highlighting beautiful harvest scenes, local landscapes, specialized industries, and farming cultures to attract people to rural tourism. Events such as agricultural competitions, harvest-themed games, and fun activities honor the hard work of farmers while also creating unique local tourism experiences, enhancing the economic value of our rural areas.
With the harvest progress now exceeding 40 percent, we are accelerating our efforts to transform the promise of abundance into tangible results. The joy of the harvest reflects the dedication behind every drop of sweat shed by workers, showcasing the beautiful outcome of rural revitalization. By harnessing favorable weather and mobilizing all available resources, we can push for harvest progress, aiming to turn ‘harvest on the horizon’ into ‘harvest in hand’—ensuring that people can enjoy improved living conditions. This requires not only sound policies that stabilize grain purchase prices but also innovative sales methods, leveraging the internet to market agricultural products effectively and boost economic returns.
Sharing in the joy of this harvest drives us to continue striving for even greater results. A good harvest should lead to good profits, providing farmers with the rewards of their hard work and motivating them to persist in their efforts, thus painting a brighter picture of high-quality agricultural development, rural harmony, and farmers’ well-being.
