谷子在牡丹江地区种植面积历年不下80～100万亩,仍占全区粮豆播种面积的15％左右。但单位面积产量较低。1949～1977年平均亩产为152.9斤,比水稻、玉米和高粱等作物的单产都低,对全区粮食总产的提高有一定影响。 Millet area planted in Mudanjiang over the years no less than 80 to 100 million mu, still occupy the whole area about 15% of the sown area of ​​grain beans. However, the yield per unit area is relatively low. The average yield per mu between 1949 and 1977 was 152.9 kilograms, which was lower than the yields of crops such as rice, corn and sorghum and had an impact on the improvement of total grain output in the region.
