China has set an ambitious goal to achieve significant progress in rural revitalization and modernize its agriculture by 2027, according to a new plan released by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council.
The plan outlines steps to strengthen national food security and steadily increase agricultural production capacity, ensuring that the country’s food supply firmly remains in the hands of its people.
One of the key targets is to keep grain planting areas stable at about 1.75 billion mu (approximately 117 million hectares) and maintain cereal areas around 1.45 billion mu. The plan also aims to boost grain production capacity to reach about 1.4 trillion jin (700 billion tonnes).
Developed regions in the east and suburban villages in central and western China are set to lead the way, achieving agricultural and rural modernization by 2027 where conditions permit.
Looking ahead to 2035, the plan envisions decisive progress in rural revitalization. By then, agricultural modernization is expected to be essentially realized, and rural areas will be equipped with the basic conditions for modern living.
