Growing Grain Stockpiles Spur Gov't to Plan More Storage Facilities

(Beijing) – The central government has announced a plan to build granaries with the capacity of 50 million tons this year as China continues adding to its world-beating stockpile of grain.

The move will help address a shortage of facilities related to domestically grown grain, the plan published on June 15 said. Some of the granaries are to be built in the northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin.
