Grain production this year, "ten continuous increases", but still imports food from some Southeast Asian countries, in this regard, the Korean long Fu explained that increased food imports in these few years, the increase is due essentially, is the amount of increase in production was not yet possible to fully meet the rigid growth in consumption.

农业部回应粮食十连增后仍进口：利用国际市场|粮食|进口|农业部_新闻资讯

　　中新网12月6日电 农业部部长韩长赋今日表示，粮食增产幅度还不能够完全满足消费刚性增长的幅度。要立足国内解决吃饭问题，同时也适度利用国际市场。

　　国新办今日举行新闻发布会，介绍中国粮食增产、农民征收以及贯彻落实十八届三中全的有关情况。

　　今年粮食生产实现“十连增”，但依然从东南亚一些国家进口粮食，对此，韩长赋解释道，这几年粮食的进口数量在增加，增加的原因从根本上讲，就是增产幅度还不能够完全满足消费刚性增长的幅度。

　　韩长赋表示，中国人口在绝对增长，城市化人口在快速增加，另外生活水平提高、消费结构升级，加上农产品加工的因素，所以还增加了需求。

　　韩长赋指出，从贸易角度讲，有两个原因：一是中国粮食还需要一些品种调剂，比如不缺少小麦，库存也比较丰富，但是要进口面包粉。二是价格因素，国际上一定的时段粮食价格比国内低，所以这在一定程度上也刺激了进口。

　　但中国进口总量并不多，去年谷物进口也就200多亿，占总产量的比例很小，今年1—9月进口的数量是下降的。

　　“总之，我们还是要立足国内解决我们的吃饭问题，同时也适度利用国际市场。”韩长赋说。
