China’s grain‑industry output tops RMB 4 trillion at Eighth China Grain Trade Conference

According to information released at the Eighth China Grain Trade Conference held in Changsha, Hunan Province, the annual industrial output value of China’s grain‑processing enterprises has exceeded RMB 4 trillion.

Official figures show there are 24 000 grain‑related enterprises across the country. More than one‑third of provincial‑level administrative regions record annual grain‑industry output above RMB 100 billion. A total of 33 provincial‑level public regional grain brands and 117 municipal‑ and county‑level public regional grain brands have taken shape nationwide.

China’s annual grain output has remained steadily above 650 million tonnes, surpassing 700 million tonnes in both 2024 and 2025. Per‑capita grain possession reached 508.9 kilograms in 2025, standing higher than the global average. National grain inventories sit at ample overall levels with continuously optimised structural distribution, capable of meeting domestic supply‑security requirements. The country’s usable standard grain‑warehouse capacity exceeds 730 million tonnes. Storage space fitted for low‑temperature and near‑low‑temperature preservation totals 220 million tonnes, accounting for 30 per cent of all usable standard grain‑warehouse capacity.

Running from 5 September to 7 September, the conference showcases high‑quality grain and edible‑oil produce from across China alongside intelligent grain‑handling machinery. A parallel trade fair presents premium grain and oil goods originating from formerly impoverished regions. More than 3 100 grain‑and‑oil enterprises from every part of the country take exhibition stands throughout the event.

The gathering creates a platform for product display, technical exchange and business matching within the domestic grain sector. It brings together producers, processors and purchasers to facilitate inter‑regional grain co‑ordination and unlock new market channels for specialty agricultural goods. Domestic grain‑storage infrastructure continues upgrading, and brand‑building advances alongside production‑capacity expansion to underpin stable domestic grain supply.
