Why the food issue cannot be measured in economic terms alone
More than 1.3 billion mouths to feed, every meal matters, not a single day can go without food. Food security cannot be measured by economic accounts alone; it must also be measured by people's livelihood.

As purchasing work gradually progresses, policy grain purchases will gradually expand and become the main force in market purchasing. In the short term, wheat will continue to maintain a loose supply situation, and wheat prices will remain near the support price.
