Wen said the country's self-reliance in feeding its 1.3 billion people with its own grain production was a great contribution to the world.
"China has abundant grain reserves standing at 150 million to 200 million tonnes," said Wen. The government had already taken a series of measures to support farm and rural sectors.
The central government vowed this year to spend 562.5 billion yuan (80.1 billion U.S. dollars) to support farms and the rural sector, 130.7 billion yuan more than last year.
The State Council, or Cabinet, decided last month to spend another 25.25 billion yuan in addition to this year's rural budget, mainly to subsidize farmers' purchase of seed, diesel, fertilizers and other production materials.
