粮食安全是世界和平与发展的重要保障，是构建人类命运共同体的重要基础，关系人类永续发展和前途命运。作为世界上最大的发展中国家和负责任大国，中国始终是维护世界粮食安全的积极力量。中国积极参与世界粮食安全治理，加强国际交流与合作，坚定维护多边贸易体系，落实联合国2030年可持续发展议程，为维护世界粮食安全、促进共同发展作出了积极贡献。

Food security is an essential guarantee for world peace and development, a significant foundation for a global community of shared future, and an influential factor for the development and future of humanity. As the world’s largest developing country, and a major country that shoulders its responsibilities, China has always been a positive force in safeguarding world food security. China has been an active part of global food security governance, enhancing international exchanges and cooperation, supporting the multilateral trade system, and implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this sense, China has made a positive contribution to improving global food security and promoting common development.

　　为全面介绍中国粮食安全成就，增进国际社会对中国粮食安全的了解，特发布本白皮书。

　　一、中国粮食安全成就

The Chinese government is publishing this white paper to provide a full picture of how food security operates in China, in order to increase the international community's understanding in this important field.

I. China’s Achievements in Ensuring Food Security

　　中国人口占世界的近1/5，粮食产量约占世界的1/4。中国依靠自身力量端牢自己的饭碗，实现了由“吃不饱”到“吃得饱”，并且“吃得好”的历史性转变。这既是中国人民自己发展取得的伟大成就，也是为世界粮食安全作出的重大贡献。

　　（一）粮食产量稳步增长

With one fifth of the world population, China accounts for a quarter of total global food production. China is self-reliant in securing its own food supply; its people now have not only enough to eat, but also a greater range of choices. Compared to past times when they were underfed, this historical change has been made possible by the Chinese themselves through hard work and development. It is also a key contribution to world food security.

1. Steady growth in food output

　　——人均占有量稳定在世界平均水平以上。目前，中国人均粮食占有量达到470公斤左右，比1996年的414公斤增长了14%，比1949年新中国成立时的209公斤增长了126%，高于世界平均水平。

　　——单产显著提高。2010年平均每公顷粮食产量突破5000公斤。2018年达到5621公斤，比1996年的4483公斤增加了1138公斤，增长25%以上。2017年稻谷、小麦、玉米的每公顷产量分别为6916.9公斤、5481.2公斤、6110.3公斤，较1996年分别增长11.3%、46.8%、17.4%，比世界平均水平分别高50.1%、55.2%、6.2%。

– Per capita food output remains above the world average. Currently China’s per capita food output is around 470 kg, growing by 14 percent from 414 kg since 1996 when China published its first white paper on food – The Grain Issue in China, and by 126 percent from 209 kg in 1949, when the PRC was founded. This is higher than the world average.

– Per unit yield has significantly increased. The average food yield per hectare is as follows:

• more than 5,000 kg in 2010;

• 5,621 kg in 2018, an increase of 1,138 kg, or 25 percent, over 1996.

– The yields per hectare for rice, wheat and corn in 2017 are as follows:

• 6,916.9 kg, up 11.3 percent over 1996, 50.1 percent higher than the world average;

• 5,481.2 kg, up 46.8 percent over 1996, 55.2 percent higher than the world average;

• 6,110.3 kg, up 17.4 percent over 1996, 6.2 percent higher than the world average.

– Total food output has seen a steady increase. China’s total food output surpassed

• 550 million tons in 2010,

• 600 million tons in 2012,

• 660 million tons in 2015,

• 650 million tons for four years from 2015.
