Grain output to hit record

Bumper harvest will contribute to stabilizing global prices: Experts

The nation's grain output is likely to reach a record 530 million tons this year, which analysts said would help anchor global grain prices.

It would be the third consecutive year in which the country's grain production exceeded 500 million tons and the sixth straight year it recorded an increase year-on-year, according to the two-day central conference on rural affairs which concluded in Beijing yesterday.
