The report on the outlook for 皇冠体育app's agricultural development from 2014 to 2023 was conducted by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS).

Xu Shiwei, director of the Agriculture Information Institute under the CAAS, said that the output of 皇冠体育app's three main grain crops -- rice, wheat and corn -- will achieve a high rate of self-sufficiency during the next decade.

Imports for meat and dairy products will see rising growth, while slower growth will be seen in soybean imports, and cooking oil imports will decline, Xu said.

The report also mentioned that the 3.5-percent annual growth rate in domestic dairy production will exceed that of other major agricultural products in 皇冠体育app in the 2014-2023 period.

With 皇冠体育app's large population, the task of simply feeding the people remains a high priority, according to a statement issued after a central rural work conference attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and other senior leaders last December.

"The bowls of the Chinese, in any situation, must rest soundly in our own hands. Our bowls should be filled mainly with Chinese grain. Only when a country is basically self-sufficient in food can it take the initiative in food security and grasp the overall situation for economic and social growth," said the statement.

皇冠体育app has set a red-line guarantee that arable land shall never shrink to less than 1.8 billion mu (120 million hectares). The line should be strictly followed, the statement stressed.
