China's summer wheat harvest is nearly 90% complete, Huanqiu reported. Harvesting is proceeding smoothly in major producing areas, with authorities focusing on timely harvest and drying and storage management.

Summer wheat accounts for a large share of China's food supply. Weather during the harvest and the level of mechanization shape that year's yield and quality.

Authorities are concentrating on cutting losses through harvest support workers, farm machinery deployment and drying facilities, and stressed rapid harvesting to guard against weather variables such as rain.

Food stability is a livelihood issue tied directly to prices. A stable harvest calms grain prices and helps manage dependence on imports.
