The current status of agricultural development in Henan Province

In 2025, the current status of agricultural development in Henan Province shows a trend of steady growth, steady progress and steady quality improvement‌. The province's grain production has resumed growth, rural industries are in good momentum, infrastructure continues to be complete, farmers' income has grown steadily, and rural reforms continue to advance‌

Grain production situation
Henan Province's grain output has remained stable at more than 130 billion jin for 8 consecutive years, using less than 6% of arable land to produce nearly 10% of the country's grain, of which wheat production accounts for a quarter of the country's total. In 2024, Henan's total summer grain output will be 75.714 billion jin, ranking first in the country, and the total annual grain output will be 134.4 billion jin, ranking second in the country‌
. Henan Province has built a total of 88.08 million mu of high-standard farmland, accounting for about 78% of the province's cultivated land, and its grain disaster resistance and mitigation capacity has been greatly improved.

Agricultural science and technology innovation
Henan Province's agricultural science and technology progress contribution rate reached 65.7%, the coverage rate of major crop varieties exceeded 97%, and the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting is expected to reach 89%, which is about 14 percentage points higher than the national average. The innovation level of the Central Plains Agricultural Valley has leaped, and 178 new varieties have been cultivated throughout the year. The transaction amount of agricultural science and technology achievements has exceeded 100 million yuan.
