Abstract:

Grain production is a strategic industry to stabilize people and secure the nation. Guangdong Province is the largest grain consumption region in China, and it is of practical significance to stabilize its grain production and ensure food security. Firstly, the study sorted out the basic situation of grain production in Guangdong, from 2010 to 2019, its grain yield and planting area were slightly decreased. Secondly, the study analyzed the restricting factors on grain production capacity of Guangdong, including the small scale of agricultural production, high cost of grain production, low economic benefit of grain production, prominent planting structure problems and low potential of agricultural mechanization. Finally, countermeasures were put forward from seven aspects, such as replanting abandoned arable land, adjusting planting structure, improving production capacity, thus providing useful references for stabilizing and improving the grain production capacity of the province.

Key words: grain production, scale of agricultural production, economic benefit, agricultural mechanization, countermeasures and suggestions, Guangdong Province
