The rising number of disturbances caused by natural hazards, epidemics, and international conflicts seriously threatens global agriculture food systems. In order to combat the increasing uncertainty, Chinese government proposed a "dual circulation" strategy, which puts forward new requirement promoting self-sufficiency. Among various categories, grain serves as cornerstone for sustaining human life during public crises. Guangdong Province is one most economically developed highly densely populated regions in China; therefore, it faces significant pressure enhance security. This study investigates spatial temporal patterns rate self-sufficiency (RSSG) at county levels from 2014 2023. findings reveal following: (1) rice remains predominant crop, with its sown area production consistently accounting over 75%; (2) RSSG 28.14% on average, lower than governmental goal 30%; (3) has regional disparities distinct agglomeration patterns; (4) scenario simulations indicate that yield improvement loss reduction have potential promote 34.14%. Based research findings, this paper proposes following policy recommendations: prioritize farmland preservation implement "storing land" strategy ensure supply; adopt advanced agricultural technologies under technology" improve yield; reduce strengthening disaster prevention, improving storage management, enhancing efficiency; strengthen interdepartmental coordination. integrated application these strategies will help self-sufficiency, security, contribute achievement national security goals.
