Soy, cotton and sugar crops to see stronger boost under new China agenda

Under the new plan, China will reinforce the output of soybeans, oilseeds, cotton and sugarcane, preserving a level of self‑reliance that matches domestic demand. At the same time, the government will work to diversify the supply of vegetables, fruits and tea, aligning production with changing consumer preferences. Investments in modern irrigation, efficient fertiliser application and eco‑friendly pest control are expected to drive higher yields without compromising environmental standards.
