East China's Jiangsu province has continuously improved its comprehensive grain production capacity and supply level, ensuring the food supply for 85 million people in the province, and making contributions to ensuring the national food security.
In a planting base in Guantan Town, Xuyi County of Huai'an, Bai Fangbiao is busy dispatching and directing the agricultural machinery operators to speed up the harvest while the weather is fine.
This year, Bai Fangbiao planted 370 mu of rice through made-to-order mode with the grain processing enterprises uniformly supplying seeds, raising seedlings, fertilizing, purchasing, and transporting the rice directly to the company after harvest.
Farmers do not have to worry about rice storage. The purchase price of rice, which is slightly higher than the market average price, also makes farmers more productive.
