The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Wednesday that the early rice production in China saw an expansion of 3.9 percent in 2020 following seven years in a row of declines.
The production came in at 27.29 million tons, rising 1.03 million tons compared to 2019.
The stable rise in the early rice output was mostly over an expansion in the cultivation area, even though strong floods in parts of southern China resulted in a decline in per unit area yield, according to Li Suoqiang, an NBS official.
A bumper summer harvest along with a rise in early rice output gave a solid foundation for stable grain output of the year, the official said.
