Since the 1980s, farmers in the Loess Plateau have been striving to stabilize their crops and make money by expanding the planting of flue-cured tobacco, watermelon, apples, pears, dates, pepper, miscellaneous beans and other cash crops. In recent years, they have become my country's production base for high-quality fruits, especially apples. and high-quality herbal medicine production base. The products are exported to Southeast Asia, Europe and other neighboring countries, and have achieved good economic, ecological and social benefits. They are a typical example of the development of high-water-efficiency agriculture in dryland agricultural areas. Gansu Province develops sunshine industry, especially in Zhangye area, taking advantage of relatively abundant water resources and the advantages of local dry climate and abundant sunshine resources to vigorously develop facility agriculture, greenhouse vegetables, fruit trees and flowers and other high-economic crops. Its vegetables and fruits The products sell well throughout the vast northwest region, and great achievements have been made in developing high-water-efficiency agriculture. Developing high-quality and efficient agriculture is the key to the future

Judging from the current agricultural development in our country, from focusing on food crops to vigorously developing economical and efficient crop planting, from ordinary quality high-yielding crops to Transformation of planting high-quality and high-yielding crops; from mainly planting to vigorously developing breeding; from field planting agriculture to facility planting agriculture; from grazing to facility breeding; from individual farming of each household to large-scale intensive and factory agriculture development ; In recent years, my country has been developing ecological agriculture based on biogas. Thousands of ecological households, ecological villages, ecological counties and ecological provinces have appeared. Various breeding and planting industries are connected through biogas. It is also a highly water-efficient agriculture. A model for development. These all show that my country's agriculture is developing towards high-water-efficiency agriculture. On the one hand, we must develop advantageous industries based on the natural resource conditions of various places. At the same time, it is also necessary to introduce advanced technology and experience from home and abroad to promote the development of new high-water efficiency industries. Many things cannot be changed. For example, our country cannot produce high-yield high-quality rice and wheat. We have a large land area. If we produce more and more high-quality agricultural products, we will be more competitive in the international market. . There is no large-scale production and export of flowers, vegetables and fruits in many places in China, and they now account for half of my country's agricultural exports. Under the same natural conditions and using the same water, adjusting the structure of the planting industry to stabilize grain and capture money is the key to the development of highly water-efficient agriculture in our country.

China’s food is a major concern of the world. Who will feed the Chinese people? In the past, it was the Chinese who fed the Chinese. Now and in the future, it will be the Chinese who feed the Chinese. In the 1980s, we were more concerned about my country's self-sufficiency in food and imports. However, in the past 20 years of reform and opening up, many farmers in our country have personally experienced the situation of exporting their own grain and agricultural products abroad. The development of foreign exchange-oriented agriculture is an important way to develop the rural economy. Although there are food shortages and problems in various parts of our country due to unbalanced economic development and the impact of natural disasters in different years and different regions, this is also a general normal phenomenon. The key is to balance the total food supply nationwide. After meeting the living needs of our people and meeting our country's strategic grain reserves, we should not keep excess grain in some domestic provinces, cities and regions. There should be preferential policies to encourage grain to be sold in domestic and foreign markets like other industrial and agricultural products. Circulation, based on the demand for different crop types in different domestic and foreign markets, can invigorate and drive my country's food production and economic development.

It is worth emphasizing that although my country has exported many agricultural products in recent years, due to unscientific cultivation and management, large amounts of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, chemical growth regulators, and unscientific irrigation, On the one hand, it has caused great pollution to our country's water and soil resources, endangering the health of our people. It has also caused the quality of our agricultural products to not meet international standards, so exports have been restricted, causing great economic losses. Therefore, on the one hand, we must emphasize the high water efficiency development of food crops, and on the other hand, we must pay more attention to the high water efficiency development of cash crops, coupled with the high water efficiency production of high-quality agricultural products. Only in this way will my country's agriculture develop sustainably, become prosperous and developed, form high water-efficiency agriculture with Chinese characteristics, and greatly improve water use efficiency, economic benefits, ecological benefits and social benefits.
