In 2025, the entire city remained focused on the goal set by the municipal Party committee and government of keeping grain production capacity at the forefront of the province. Emphasizing both expanding cultivation and improving quality, efforts centered on three key factors—arable land, technology, and production models—while advancing six major yield-enhancement initiatives under the “Four Improvements and Two Optimizations” program.

For the year, total grain-sown area reached 9.1976 million mu, up 0.16 percent; average yield stood at 400.48 kilograms per mu, up 0.07 percent; and total grain output reached 7.367 billion jin, up 0.23 percent. Sown area, total output, and yield per unit area all increased simultaneously, marking the twenty-second consecutive year of bumper harvests.

Upgrading mechanization and strengthening financial support to address weaknesses. The city has cumulatively built, renovated, or upgraded 144 comprehensive agricultural service centers for full-process mechanization, now covering most major grain-producing regions and townships. Through innovative financial programs such as agricultural machinery purchase loans and rice seedling cultivation loans, the total number of rice transplanters has risen to 5,878 units. Mechanized rice transplanting now exceeds 4.2 million mu, accounting for 69 percent of the total, fundamentally transforming traditional small-scale farming practices and significantly improving precision cultivation.

Technology empowerment and disaster prevention advancing in tandem. The city has continuously improved its database of 18,000 large-scale grain-producing entities, coordinated professional resources, and established a one-on-one agricultural technical support mechanism to provide targeted guidance. Two demonstration command fields jointly built at provincial, municipal, and county levels and ten precision farming demonstration sites have been created to explore, test, and promote high-yield, high-efficiency production models.

In response to persistent rainfall during the autumn harvest, green channels were opened for cross-regional agricultural machinery operations. A total of 8,475 harvesters were deployed, along with 82 emergency harvest teams, ensuring “harvest as soon as crops mature.” Meanwhile, 297 grain drying centers operated at full capacity to enable immediate drying after harvest, effectively reducing losses from mold and spoilage.
