China Pledges Measures to Stabilize Grain and Edible Oil Production to Strengthen Food Security

At the Central Rural Work Conference held from December 29 to 30, 2025, Chinese authorities unveiled commitments to stabilize grain and edible oil production as part of broader efforts to enhance national food security. According to official reporting, Beijing plans to improve grain quality and diversity, promote high-standard farmland construction, and expand the use of modern agricultural technologies.

The government also intends to support farmers’ incomes and ensure stable employment for migrant workers. Pilot programs will extend rural land-use contracts by 30 years in select provinces, aiming to provide longer-term certainty for agricultural investment. As global food markets face volatility and domestic agricultural challenges persist, these measures underscore China’s focus on reinforcing its agricultural base and securing stable food supplies.
