In
the eight-month period, the production value of crude oil, clean coal and
construction steel dropped because of technical limitations of oil fields and
its weakening domestic demand.
According
to preliminary reports of localities nationwide, the 2010 summer-autumn rice
productivity is estimated at nearly 4.8 tons per hectare, and the total output
at 10.1 million tons, up 56,000 tons.
However,
the agricultural production still faces a lot of difficulties, especially crop
and animal epidemics, forest fires and natural disasters.
