In the first quarter of 2026, China's primary industry GDP reached 1,194.1 billion RMB, showing a seasonal pullback from the previous reading in the fourth quarter of last year, but climbing steadily year-over-year with an official real annual growth rate of 3.8%. Driven strongly by stable agricultural supply and high-tech manufacturing, China's overall Q1 GDP grew by 5.0% year-over-year, beating the market expectation of 4.8%.
