The role of China's agricultural sector in the economy is proving significant amid the COVID-19 epidemic, according to a report released this Wednesday (03) by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, reports the agency “Xinhua”.
China's agricultural sector has been less directly affected by the COVID-19 epidemic compared with the industrial and service sectors, the report said, predicting that the country's grain production will reach 670 million tons in 2020. This will provide strong support to achieve economic and social development goals for 2020.
China's agricultural and food system is less dependent on the international market compared to other sectors, with its export share of all production and its import share of all demand below 5%. As a result, employment in this system is poised to return to normal even without a full recovery in import and export trade, the report noted.
The agri-food system includes sectors of agriculture and food processing, and those related to industrial chains, such as intermediate consumption, storage, transport, sales and food processing industries. catering.
