China has reaffirmed its commitment to stabilize grain and edible oil production as part of its top agricultural priorities, with the aim of bolstering food security and reducing reliance on imports. This pledge came during the Central Rural Work Conference held at the end of December 2025, where senior officials laid out key strategies for the coming year.  

The government emphasized efforts to maintain and expand food output, encouraging improvements in crop varieties, quality, and farming techniques. High‑standard farmland development and the use of modern agricultural technology were highlighted as integral to improving overall production capacity.  

China is pushing to enhance domestic soybean and other oilseed production to strengthen self‑sufficiency in edible oils, a major goal in its food security strategy. This is part of broader policy moves to reduce dependence on imported soybeans and edible oils, which currently form a significant share of domestic consumption.  

 National statistics show China’s total grain output has continued to grow, with 2025 production estimated above 1.4 trillion jin (~700 million tones) — marking a steady increase and helping secure domestic supply.  Policy support & farmers: Authorities plan enhanced support for farmers through income‑boosting measures, extended land‑use contracts, and pilot programs to stabilize rural labor and investment in agriculture.   

With ongoing global uncertainties and trade tensions, China’s focus on strengthening its domestic agricultural base aims to safeguard food supplies, moderate import exposure, and support rural livelihoods in the years ahead.
