Spring sowing in China is in full swing, with 9.3 million hectares of grain areas planted, about 15 percent of the total acreage. Planting is progressing 0.6 percentage points faster than last year, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The ministry says early-spring rice seedling cultivation has been all but completed, and nearly 60 percent of the rice seedlings sown. Spring plowing and management work are well underway to lay a solid foundation for a bumper harvest this year.
