China has achieved significant milestones in agricultural development and rural modernization, marking a strong start to 2026 following the successful completion of its 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025). Officials confirmed this progress during a State Council Information Office briefing on February 3, highlighting sustained efforts to strengthen food security and improve rural livelihoods.
Han Wenxiu, deputy director of the Office of the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission, emphasized that China's grain production capacity has reached new heights while maintaining stable farmland preservation measures. "Our coordinated approach to rural revitalization has created tangible improvements in infrastructure and living standards," Han stated, noting the integration of ecological protection with agricultural innovation.
The government's 2026 agenda prioritizes smart agriculture technologies and cross-regional resource allocation systems. These initiatives aim to support the growing network of rural e-commerce platforms that have connected farmers directly to urban markets across the Chinese mainland.
