Since this year, Jizhou has closely focused on the development goals of stabilizing grain production, increasing income, strengthening the foundation and improving people's livelihood. With the support of technology, Jizhou has guided farmers to complete the farmland harvest of 345,000 mu, with a total output of 153,700 tons.

This year, the Shangcang grain reserve warehouse plans to store more than 50,000 tons of summer grain. At present, the nine large grain warehouses have been opened to store grain to full capacity.
