BEIJING, April 4 (Xinhua) -- As the weather turns warm, farmers across China are busy with spring farming.
Strenuous efforts nationwide are being made to guarantee the country's grain security amid the global climbing up of grain prices.
Modern farming machinery is widely used in spring farming.
Farmers say the price of fertilizers has been on the rise this year.
China released 1 million tonnes of national potash fertilizer reserves to the domestic market to meet production needs.
New technological innovations have also been adopted to develop superior grain varieties.
China has set a target to ensure the full-year grain output stays above 650 billion kg in 2022.
Last year, China's grain output hit a new high of 683 billion kg, with grain farmland exceeding 117 million hectares.
