中国的粮食产量尽管有所下降,但仍保持强劲,由于良好的天气条件,单位产量有所提高。[照片/图片]国家统计局(NBS)周六表示,中国在2018年又实现了丰收,粮食产量保持在较高水平。国家统计局在其网站上发表声明称,粮食产量为65789万吨,比去年下降371万吨,降幅为0.6%。国家统计局(NBS)统计员侯睿将下降归因于种植结构的变化和种植面积的减少,比去年减少了95.2万公顷。侯说,尽管粮食产量有所下降,但中国的粮食产量仍然强劲,由于良好的天气条件,单位产量有所提高。NBS的数据显示,谷物产量达到每公顷6120公斤,比去年增长了0.3%,而大豆的单位产量增长了2.7%。

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Saturday that China has achieved another year of bumper harvest in 2018 with grain output remaining at a high level.

The grain output stood at 657.89 million tonnes, down by 3.71 million tonnes or 0.6 percent from last year, the NBS said in a statement on its website.

NBS statistician Hou Rui attributed the decline to changes in cropping structure and decrease in planting area, which shrank by 952,000 hectares from the previous year.

China's grain output remained strong despite the decline, and per unit yield has improved thanks to favorable weather conditions, Hou said.

Cereal output reached 6,120 kg per hectare, up 0.3 percent from last year, while the per unit yield of beans grew by 2.7 percent, NBS data showed.
