    Conference maps out policies for the development of rural regions

    BEIJING - China has pledged to intensify its construction of rural infrastructure to boost the country's grain production, which is threatened by natural disasters and shrinking arable land.

    More investment will be made in the construction of water conservation and other facilities in rural areas, according to a statement released after the two-day annual central rural work conference concluded on Wednesday.

    The conference mapped out policies for next year's development of agriculture and rural regions.

    Senior officials of the State Council, China's cabinet, and provincial-level officials attended the conference.

    Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu said at the conference that boosting the country's grain production will be the primary task in 2011.

    "China will maintain its grain planting acreage at above 107 million hectares next year and try to increase grain yield to ensure food supply," he said.

    Despite floods and drought, the country's grain production will rise to 546.4 billion kilograms in 2010, an increase of 15.6 billion kg on last year, the seventh consecutive year of growth for China's grain output.

    The minister said the increase in grain production this year is more than expected and supports the nation's overall economic growth.
