The Fertile Land of Henan: A Foundation of Responsibility, Hope, and Revitalization
South of the Yellow River lies the fertile land of Henan. This region is a crucial cradle of China's agricultural civilization and a vibrant "Central Plains granary" that has thrived through eight millennia of wind and rain. With less than 6% of the nation's arable land, Henan produces nearly 10% of the country's grain, etching the word "fertility" into every inch of its soil and transforming it into the sturdiest "Central Plains shield" safeguarding national food security.
The fertility of this land stems not only from the natural endowments bestowed by the Yellow River but also from the cultivation wisdom passed down through generations and the sense of responsibility embraced by the people of Henan. For countless individuals from Henan, "returning home to harvest wheat" is more than a call of nostalgia—it is a farming memory and duty ingrained in their blood. Even in years of frequent climate challenges, facing droughts and relentless rains, Henan has consistently delivered abundant and stable harvests by deeply integrating quality farmland, superior seeds, advanced methods, and modern machinery, leveraging the power of technological innovation to protect its fields.
The fertile land bears the richest fruits. As the largest wheat-producing province in China, Henan's wheat industry chain profoundly influences the dining tables of the nation. Behind astonishing figures lies Henan's quiet dedication: half of the country's ham sausages, one-third of instant noodles, one-quarter of steamed buns… These "Chinese flavors," born from the wheat fragrance of the Central Plains, journey from Henan's fields to households across the country, delivered warm and fresh through modern logistics networks.
Fertility signifies responsibility and nurtures hope. Henan is leveraging 18 rural wealth-building industry chains to construct six major agricultural industry clusters, continuously enhancing the value derived from the land.
The fertile land of Henan serves as a solid foundation for industrial revitalization and farmers' income growth. It will continue to uphold the grand vision of an "agricultural powerhouse" with its selfless dedication and innovative vitality.
