BEIJING -- China has made its contribution to stabilizing the international grain price, said a top agricultural official on Monday.

"China's grain exports volume hit 9.91 million tons last year, far more than that of the imports of less than 1.6 million tons. The figures indicate that China has played an important role in stabilizing the international grain price," said Wei Chaoan, vice agricultural official, at a press conference.

Wei made the remarks on the sidelines of the ongoing annual session of National People's Congress (NPC).
