    The whole country consumes about 1.4 billion catties of grain a day, that is, 700 million kilograms, that is, 700,000 tons of grain. Therefore, it can be seen that the country's 1.4 billion people can consume about 700,000 tons of grain a day.

    Inventory lasts a long time.

    In 2019, China's total grain output reached 1,327.7 billion catties, or 663.84 million tons, an increase of 11.9 billion catties, or 5.95 million tons, over 2018, an increase of 5.95 million tons, an increase and the highest level in history. Therefore, judging from the grain production in 2019, now our stocks are able to eat for a long time, and we now have national reserves, as well as reserves of various flour enterprises, as well as some reserves of various families, so it can be said that our current grain reserves are sufficient.

    In 2019, the total grain output was 1,327.7 billion catties, and we had 1.4 billion people, with an average of 948 catties of grain per person. If each person eats 1 pound of grain a day, in this way, the grain output in 2019 alone will be enough for us to eat for more than two and a half years.

    An annual United Nations study shows that the number of hungry people is on the rise. Over the past five years, the number of chronically undernourished people has increased by tens of millions, and countries around the world continue to struggle with malnutrition in all its forms.

    The latest edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World, released today, estimates that nearly 100 million people suffered from hunger in 2019, an increase of 10 million compared to 2018 and nearly 60 million more than five years ago. High costs and low affordability mean that billions of people do not have access to healthy, nutritious food. Asia has the highest number of hungry people, but Africa is growing the fastest.

    Globally, it has been reported that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic could add more than 100 million people to chronic hunger by the end of 2020 (a number that could be further increased by the sudden onset of severe hunger during the pandemic).

    Summary of the 2020 report The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFS) continues to track progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition and is the most authoritative global study in this field, co-authored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Agricultural Development Association (IFAD), the United Nations Children's Programme (UNICEF), the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

    In'Foreword'part, the heads of five institutions[i] issued warnings,'Five years ago, the world made a commitment to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, but five years later, there is still no guarantee that we will be able to achieve this goal by 2030'。

    Deciphering hunger-related figures.

    In this year's report, the global estimate of the number of hungry people has been significantly revised down to 100 million due to updates to key data for China and other populous countries[ii]. However, the general trend has not changed. Despite revisions to all hunger-related data series since 2000, we have come to the same conclusion:

    After decades of steady decline, the number of chronically hungry people has slowly increased since 2014 and continues to do so.

    Report Chart: Nearly 100 million people, or the world's population, are currently estimated to be hungry, an increase of 10 million in one year and nearly 60 million in five years.

    The number of undernourished people continues to be the highest in Asia (100 million), followed by Africa (100 million), followed by Latin America and the Caribbean (48 million). The global prevalence of undernourishment, or the proportion of people who are hungry, has remained largely unchanged, but the absolute number has been increasing since 2014. This means that over the past five years, the number of hungry people has grown in tandem with the global population.

    Report Chart: If recent trends continue, the distribution of the world's hungry people will change dramatically, with Africa becoming the region with the highest number of undernourished people by 2030.

    Report Chart: A quarter of the world's population faces moderate or severe food insecurity.

    Behind this is a huge difference between regions: in terms of percentages.

    In 2020, I continued to sing and ate hundreds of millions of food, but one of the five people did not have enough to eat, so I said that I had to save food.
