Grain is a vital commodity that has significant effects on people’s livelihood. Grain is not an infinite renewable resource due to population growth, shrinking cultivated land, limited water supply, ongoing climate change, and so on. In spite of multiple varieties, grain faces serious challenges now and in the coming decades in china. Where there is short of individual grain breed suitable for end-use performance. The farrago of different varieties leads to inefficient use of grain. Improved detection methods are so scarce that grain is not graded in the light of end-use quality. NIR provides a more rapid, objective, and reliable means for the quality evaluation of grain. The paper describing the practical applications of NIR in the entire grains value chain clarifies a viewpoint of improving the utilization efficiency of grain resources by NIR in China.
