China plans to raise grain production capacity to 725 mln tons by 2030
China aims to raise its grain production capacity to 725 million tonnes by 2030 under its 15th Five-Year Plan, focusing on food security, resource efficiency and agricultural modernization. The country plans to boost productivity through advanced technologies, improved crop varieties, smart machinery and sustainable practices while strengthening self-sufficiency in key agricultural commodities.
China plans to increase its overall grain production capacity to 725 mln tons by 2030. The target is included in the national crop farming development plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period of 2026–2030, released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
The plan aims to maintain basic self-sufficiency in grains and ensure stable supplies of key staple foods. Particular attention will also be given to soybean, oilseed, cotton and sugar crop production in order to maintain a reasonable level of self-sufficiency.
To achieve these targets, China plans to improve the efficiency of land, water and other resource use. Measures will include wider adoption of water-saving technologies, more precise use of fertilizers and crop protection products, and a continued transition toward greener agricultural production.
Technological modernization is expected to play a key role in raising productivity. The plan calls for developing and promoting new high-yielding varieties, expanding the use of smart agricultural machinery and digital technologies. Technology already contributes more than 64% to the growth of China’s agricultural output.
China produced around 714.9 mln tons of grain in 2025, exceeding 700 mln tons for the second consecutive year. The 2030 target therefore implies a further increase in production capacity of about 10 mln tons from the 2025 level, alongside efforts to improve productivity and strengthen the country’s food security
