In 2014, the minimum purchase price program for mid-to-late rice was launched in Heilongjiang and Hunan

Currently, the market prices of newly harvested mid-to-late rice in Heilongjiang and Hunan provinces have fallen to the minimum purchase price announced by the state, meeting the conditions for launching the minimum purchase price implementation plan. In order to earnestly implement the state's policy of strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers and enriching farmers, and effectively protect the interests of grain-growing farmers, with the approval of the State Administration of Grain, the 2014 minimum purchase price implementation plan for mid-to-late rice was launched in Hunan Province from October 30 and in Heilongjiang Province from November 1.

At this point, among the 8 southern production region provinces implementing the minimum purchase price plan for mid-to-late rice, 7 provinces including Anhui, Sichuan, Hubei, Henan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Hunan have launched the plan; Heilongjiang Province has become the first northeastern production region to launch the minimum purchase price plan for mid-to-late rice.
