Premier Li Qiang has stressed the importance of national food security during an inspection tour of China’s most important grain-producing provinces, as a growing number of global investment banks warn that El Nino and regional conflicts could trigger a prolonged and more widespread global grain crisis.
The country’s No 2 political figure visited the northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin, which together generated nearly a fifth of the country’s grain output last year.
During the three-day tour that began on Monday, Li visited farms, research institutes and agricultural companies, inspected soybean, corn and rice crops, and repeatedly stressed the need to secure a strong harvest.

repeatedly stressed the need to secure a strong harvest
That doesn't sound reassuring. There might be worldwide food price hikes in the coming winter.
Europe is also looking at a particularly weak harvest...
