Record Grain Yield Expected in China, Despite Challenges

China Daily  

China's grain yield is expected to hit a record high, with an increase of 3.625 million tons compared to the previous year. The output of early rice, cultivated in early spring and harvested in summer in southern provinces, was down 0.6 percent due to reduced productivity caused by unfavorable weather conditions. However, the growing areas for food crops that ripen in autumn and contribute to more than 70 percent of China's annual food output have expanded this year, leading to improved productivity across the board.
