Last year, the utilization rate of fertilizer and pesticide on three staple grains respectively hit 40.2 percent and 40.6 percent, increasing 5 and 4 percentage points, respectively.

The utilization rate of straw reached 86.72 percent last year while that of livestock and poultry manure exceeded 75 percent. The recycling rate of agricultural plastic hit 80 percent, effectively controlling the white pollution in key areas.

More than 65 percent of rural areas now have toilets, and the rural waste collection and disposal system has covered over 90 percent of the villages, according to the report.

Last year, the ministry identified 16 experimental stations, including the CAAS's Changping station in Beijing and Hulunbuir station in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, as the first batch of long-term observation posts for green agricultural development.

However, Mei said China was still in its initial phase of developing green agriculture in the past five years. The utilization and spatial arrangement, in particular, of agricultural products including grains and hogs need to be improved.

"During the 14th Five-Year Plan(2021-25), rural vitalization, high-quality life and a new round of technological revolution will provide opportunities for green agricultural development," he added.
