China Grain Reserves Group Ltd (Sinograin), the country's largest grain storage and transportation company, pledged to apply more digital technologies and enhance cross-industry cooperation during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period to help ensure national food security, said its top executive.
Deng Yiwu, chairman of the centrally-administered State-owned enterprise, said that thanks to support from a system of storage technologies targeting specific eco-regions and varieties of grains, smart technologies have already been applied to the company's business operations.
It now runs the world's largest internet of things network in the global grain storage sector.
The company will continue to carry out standardized and technology-based warehousing management to guarantee the authenticity and high quality of all kinds of grain storage, Deng said.
The Beijing-based group currently operates more than 960 grain, oil and cotton storage facilities, with a combined storage capacity of nearly 100 million metric tons.
Even though emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic have had an impact on the country's economic growth as well as changes in grain supply and demand in certain provinces, Sinograin has actively worked with grain processing companies across China to cumulatively put more than 100 million tons of grain and oil into the market, thus ensuring sufficient and reliable grain supply and helping stabilize food prices.
"Strengthening scientific and technological innovation is an inevitable requirement for us to respond to the new situation of international competition and implementing an innovation-driven development strategy," he said, adding that it is an inevitable requirement for implementing the new national food security strategy, and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the grain industry.
Based on its role in implementing macroeconomic regulatory policy, Sinograin－supported by more than 40,000 employees and 30 subsidiaries－undertakes the tasks of grain and oil procurement, sales, allocation and storage.
Guided by government policies such as the country's first policy document of the year, the company ensures that: farmers can sell their grain at reasonable prices; domestic grain supply meets market demand; grain prices are basically stable, and farmers' economic interests and national grain security are guaranteed.
It also sells central grain and oil reserves that are nearing expiration dates, and purchases grain and oil up to certain quality standards in accordance with government plans each year.
This is the 17th consecutive year in which the document－issued annually by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council－has focused on grain production and rural issues.
