Hangjin Banner Accelerates High-Standard Farmland Construction After Spring Festival

After the Spring Festival, Hangjin Banner in Inner Mongolia has seized the construction period, overcome the impact of low temperatures, and accelerated the construction of high-standard farmland projects. This initiative lays a solid foundation for increasing farmland efficiency, grain output and farmers’ income, ensuring stable grain production with "high-standard farmland". At present, the construction of 10,000 mu of high-standard farmland in Duguitala Town, Hangjin Banner has fully resumed work.

At the construction site in Wulanmuduna Village of Duguitala Town, construction machinery roars continuously. Large excavators, drilling rigs and other equipment are operating at full capacity to carry out earth-breaking, soil transportation, land leveling and well drilling, presenting an orderly and busy scene.

The 10,000-mu high-standard farmland project in Duguitala Town, which started on December 28 last year, covers three administrative villages and is carried out around eight aspects: fields, soil, water, roads, forests, electricity, technology and management. By upgrading supporting water conservancy infrastructure, the project aims to achieve the goal of "regular fields, connected canals, accessible roads, irrigation in drought and drainage in waterlogging", helping increase farmland yield and production efficiency, improve farmers’ production and living conditions, and boost rural revitalization.

The project has completed 25% of the total work volume so far and is scheduled to be fully completed by the end of May 2025. With a total investment of 25.2632 million yuan, its main projects will be finished before spring ploughing to avoid affecting farmers’ farming. Once completed, the project will form concentrated, well-equipped, high-yield, stable-yield, ecologically sound and disaster-resistant high-standard farmland.

Before the renovation, local farmland had problems such as scattered plots, uneven terrain, backward infrastructure, insufficient soil fertility and inability to use large machinery. The main crops planted by local farmers were sunflower and corn, with an average yield of about 300 jin per mu for sunflower and 700 jin per mu for corn, barely covering the input cost. After the project is completed, the corn yield is expected to reach 1,300 to 1,800 jin per mu, doubling farmers’ income.

Up to now, Hangjin Banner has built a total of 809,955 mu of high-standard farmland. A total of 65,287 mu of high-standard farmland projects are planned to be implemented in 2025, which is currently awaiting approval.
