[The autumn harvest progress is faster than the previous year, new technologies and new varieties help improve quality and efficiency] On October 25, the latest agricultural dispatch from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs showed that the national autumn grain harvest currently exceeds 80%, and the progress is faster than the previous year. A batch of new technologies have been promoted and applied on a large scale to help improve quality and efficiency. Zhang Haiyang, leader of the specialty oil expert guidance group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the yield is 20% higher than that of ordinary varieties. This new variety mainly combines comprehensive traits such as high oleic acid, high sesamin, disease resistance, stain resistance, resistance to grain shattering, and suitable for machine harvesting. It greatly reduces farmers’ harvest costs and ensures the country’s food and oil security. (CCTV Finance)
