China on Sunday laid out an annual policy document on agricultural development, vowing to promote grain production, rural governance and environmental conservation, China Daily reported. China aims to maintain grain output this year at 650 million metric tons while cutting use of chemicals, and stresses protecting its 120 million hectares of arable land from other uses, the newspaper said. China also seeks to cut use of fertilizers and pesticides. China removed the last rural counties from its poverty list last year, a key part of the goal of building a more prosperous society.
