国人厨房
河南位于中原腹地，大部分土地是由黄河冲积而成的肥沃平原，被誉为“中原粮仓”，以占全国6.2％的耕地，生产了中国10％的粮食，粮食总产量连续多年突破6500万吨，不仅养活这个第一农业人口大省，每年还外调出原粮及制成品600多亿斤。同时，河南也是重要的农产品生产加工大省，是中国第一粮食加工大省和第一肉制品大省。
近年来，河南坚持质量兴农、绿色兴农、品牌强农，以保障重要和优质特色农产品供给为目标，以面制品、肉制品、油制品、乳制品、果蔬制品为重点，持续推进食品业转型升级、高质量发展，实现从“中原粮仓”到“国人厨房”的转变。2022年，河南面制品加工能力居全国第一位，粮油加工转化率80%，主食产业化率超过65%；猪、鸡、鹅等畜禽规模化养殖在国内首屈一指，生猪、家禽、肉牛年屠宰加工能力分别达8800万头、14亿只、290万头，均位居全国前列；粮食产业总产值突破3000亿元，其中，优势特色农业不断壮大，产值占比57.8%；绿色食品业加快转型升级，规模以上农产品加工企业5109家，年营业收入同比增长6.4%；方便酸辣粉市场份额占全国80%以上。截至2023年3月，河南省农业产业化省级以上重点龙头企业1169家，其中国家级102家、省级1067家。
随着品质的提升，越来越多河南农产品开始漂洋过海，出口到韩国、日本、美国、俄罗斯、西班牙等多个国家和地区。全省形成了一批特色农产品出口生产基地，并实现了区域化布局、标准化生产和规模化经营，国际竞争力不断增强，河南由此实现了由“中原粮仓”到“国人厨房”，再到“世界餐桌”的转变。
Kitchen of China
Located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Henan boasts highly fertile alluvial soils brought by the Yellow River, hence its fame as the "Central Plains breadbasket." With only 6.2 percent of China's arable land, it produces 10 percent of its grain with a total output exceeding 65 million tons for years. While feeding its over 100 million population – the largest for an agricultural province, it also supplies more than 30 billion kilograms of grain and related products to the rest of the country every year. Henan is a major producer and processer of farm products, providing the most processed food products and meat products among all provinces.
In recent years, Henan has promoted green, high- quality agriculture with leading brands and worked to transform and upgrade the food industry to ensure the supply of major, specialty and competitive farm products such as flour, meat, oil, dairy, fruit, and vegetable. This will help turn the "Central Plains breadbasket" into a "kitchen of China."
In 2022, Henan's flour processing capacity ranked first in China, 80 percent of its grain and oil products were processed, and 65 percent of its staple food products were mass-produced. It boasted the largest scale of pig, chicken, goose and other livestock and poultry farming in the country, and it processed the meat of 88 million pigs, 1.4 billion poultry, and 2.9 million beef cattle, all being the most in China. The total output value of the grain industry surpassed 300 billion yuan. Among that, competitive and specialty agriculture kept growing and accounted for 57.8 percent of the output value. As the green food industry was transforming and upgrading at a faster pace, the number of agro-processing enterprises above the designated scale reached 5,109, whose annual revenue grew 6.4 percent year- on-year. Henan also took over 80 percent of the national market share of instant hot-and-sour rice noodles. As of March 2023, it had 1,169 key enterprises with large scale of agricultural industrialization.
Now, more and more local quality farm products are being exported to the ROK, Japan, the US, Russia, Spain, and other countries and regions. With the development of a number of export-oriented production bases of agricultural specialties with standardized production and large-scale operation, Henan's international competitiveness keeps increasing. The "Central Plains breadbasket" and the "kitchen of China" are now supplying more food on the table of the whole world.
