一位高级官员上周二表示，尽管我国粮食连年增产丰收，但粮食的年产需缺口仍然达到了990万公吨。
Despite bumper harvests, China still has a 9.9 million tonne shortfall in the amount of grain it produces and consumes annually, a senior official said on last Tuesday.
在新闻发布会上，我国国家粮食局局长任正晓表示，从长远看，我国的粮食安全状况仍令人担忧。
In the long term, China's food security situation is still alarming, Ren Zhengxiao, head of the State Administration of Grain, said during a press conference.
任局长表示，随着我国人数的增加以及工业化占用了大量的农田，粮食安全的形势变得越来越严峻了。此外，水和土壤的污染又使的这一情况进一步恶化。
China's food security is now more urgent with a rising population and industrialization encroaching on farmland. The situation is also aggravated by water and soil pollution, said Ren.
我国的粮食总产量逐年上升，到去年为止实现了十二连增，2015年的产量达到了6.21亿公吨。
China's total grain output increased 2.4 percent year on year to 621 million tonnes in 2015, the 12th straight year of growth.
2015年底，决策者们在一会议上重申了对粮食安全的承诺。他们表示将保障粮食供应，保护农田，维持生产力。
Policymakers renewed their commitment to food security during a conference at the end of 2015. The government will secure the supply of staples, protect farmland and maintain production capacity, they said.
根据来自新闻发布会上的信息，我国将保证主要粮食产区的产出，保障谷物类的自给自足以及粮食的绝对安全。
China will ensure grain output in major producing regions, trying to keep cereal largely self-sufficient and staples absolutely safe, according to the conference.
此外，政府将对大规模种植农作物提供政策优惠，同时保证农民从事农业活动的利益。对于一些重要的农产品，中国还将完善价格构成机制及政府采购措施。
The government will offer preferential policies to large-scale grain farms while making sure that farmers benefit from agricultural development. China will also improve price formation mechanisms and government purchase measures for important farm products.
