DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Herbicides China News 2013 - 03" report to their offering.
The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) issued its instructions on 2013 planting industry at the end of Feb., claiming to maintain the grain production area to be not less than 111.27 million ha in 2013. The MOA pointed out that the domestic total grain output should be increased steadily relying on the planting expansion of some high-yield crops such as corn and rice. The total grain output should be over 525 million tonnes in 2013, the exact goal set by the MOA.
It is noteworthy that currently in some regions, farmers have been abandoning their farming land and this is a common phenomenon. This situation in China must be given enough attention. There are two main reasons behind the this phenomenon. First, many cultivated land are of bad quality and are now no longer suitable for growing crops; Second, farms in villages lack labor because many young labors prefer to work in prosperous cities due to the low benefit of farming, which leads to the reduction of rural population .
Anyway, reflecting by MOA's announcement, the Chinese officials have fully attached great importance to agriculture, which is good for the development of China's pesticides industry.
