🍁🌾 Autumn vibes incoming! On September 23, the Chinese mainland will celebrate the Chinese Farmers’ Harvest Festival, landing on the Autumn Equinox of the lunar calendar. It’s a day to honor the hard work of farmers and savor the season’s bounty. 🎉
Since its debut in 2018, this festival has become an annual highlight—2025 marks the eighth edition. Falling on one of the 24 solar terms, the Autumn Equinox usually graces us in late September, uniting tradition and modern harvest celebrations.
Crunching the numbers: In 2024, the Chinese mainland’s total grain output hit 706.5 million tonnes—a jump of 11.09 million tonnes (1.6%) over the previous year. That’s a whole lot of rice, wheat and maize that keeps billions fed. 👩🌾👨🌾
Behind every meal is the passion of millions of farmers. Here’s to tradition, community and the food that fuels us all. ¡Buena cosecha! 🍽️❤️
