  • The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations predicts that global food import costs will hit a record high in 2021, surpassing US$1.75 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 14%.

Covid19 & Vaccine

  • Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China has overcome the practical difficulties of its huge population base and tight vaccine supply. So far, it has provided more than 1.7 billion doses of vaccine to more than 110 countries and international organizations in the world. In 2021, it will strive to provide 2 billion doses to the outside world. At present, China has become the country that provides the largest number of new crown vaccines in the world, and most of the vaccines obtained by developing countries so far come from China.
  • Academician Zhong Nanshan: After the two doses of the new crown vaccine have been vaccinated, a third dose is required. Regardless of whether the whole virus inactivated vaccine or the mRNA vaccine, the humoral immune function is significantly reduced after half a year of treatment. This problem exists in vaccines all over the world, so a third dose of vaccine must be supplemented. At present, 1.073 billion people in China have completed the entire vaccination process, with an inoculation rate of 75.8%, and 41.713 million people have been intensified vaccination.
