On April 17, the State Council Office held a press conference on the operation of the national economy in the first quarter of 2020. In response to the current problem of people’s food hoarding, Mao Shengyong, a spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics, said that under the influence of the epidemic in the first quarter, China’s grain prices were generally stable, and there were no major fluctuations in prices in some key areas, including Wuhan. On the one hand, it shows that our food supply capacity is strong, on the other hand, it also shows that the market supply and demand relationship is generally stable.
Mao Shengyong believes that China’s current agricultural production situation is good, grain prices are generally stable, and it is no problem to hold the rice bowl firmly in its own hands.
