Sichuan Releases Its Major Livelihood Data for 2020
Updated:2021.01.20

  On January 18, Sichuan Investigation Corps of National Bureau of Statistics released the 2020 major livelihood data of Sichuan. In 2020, Sichuan firmly stabilized its economic fundamentals and effectively guaranteed the standard of life and well-being. Major economic indicators remained stable with positive momentum. The year saw another grain harvest, a steady recovery in hog production, a steady increase in personal income, and stable price movements.

  The year saw another grain harvest. The province's grain output reached 35.274 million tons, topping 35 million tons after 20 years, representing an increase of 289,000 tons over 2019, and ranking 9th among all provinces, municipalities and autonomous prefectures.

  The year saw a rapid recovery in hog production. In 2020, the total output of pork, beef, mutton and poultry of the province reached 5.749 million tons, up 7.1% over 2019. Among them, the output of poultry eggs reached 1.679 million tons, up 3.8% year on year, and that of milk reached 680,000 tons, up 1.9% year on year. In 2020, 56.144 million pigs were slaughtered, up 15.7% year on year, 85.3% of 2017 (before African swine fever), achieving a recovery. "Pig inventory recovered quickly and the slaughtered output increased, so the tight pork supply eased," said Xu Lunquan, Director of Rural Investigation Division, Sichuan Investigation Corps of National Bureau of Statistics.

  The year saw a steady increase in personal income. In 2020, the per capita disposable income of Sichuan reached 26,522 yuan, an increase of 1,819 yuan over 2019 and 9,301 yuan over 2015. The data showed that the COVID-19 epidemic had a greater impact on personal income in urban areas than that in rural areas, with the urban-rural income ratio falling to 2.4 from 2.46 in 2019. Among the four income categories, income from wage and salary contributed the most.

  The year saw a gradual recovery in living consumption. The average per capita consumption of provincial residents was 19,783 yuan, up 2.3% over 2019, down 7.2 percentage points lower than that of 2019, and an increase of 6,151 yuan over 2015. Due to more time at home and rising food prices, the per capita spending on food, tobacco and liquor reached 7,026 yuan in 2020, an increase of 8.7% year on year. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the spending on education, culture and entertainment declined the most, by 9%.

  The year saw significant fluctuations in consumer prices. In 2020, the province's CPI rose by 3.2%, down 3 percentage points, 1.9 percentage points and 1.3 percentage points respectively compared with the first quarter, the first half and the first three quarters, showing a volatile downward trend, representing a flat increase from 2019. The food-driven structural rise was characterized by a sustained low price of service items and an overall low price of industrial consumer goods.

  The year saw low prices in industrial production. In 2020, the Producer Price Index for Industrial Products dropped by 1.2% over 2019, and Purchasing Price Index for Industrial Producers down by 1.9% year on year on average.
