Large grain growers must return subsidies to smallholders, leaving agricultural support policies stranded in confusion
In order to encourage the development of new types of agricultural business entities, in recent years the state and local governments have begun to provide them with fiscal subsidies. In Chongqing, subsidy standards are divided into two tiers according to operating scale: 160 yuan and 230 yuan per mu. But in grassroots practice, many smallholders have become "field bosses," and large grain growers have to "return" part of the subsidy money to them. In some districts and counties, large growers actually receive about 90 yuan per mu in subsidies, and in a few places even less than 10 yuan.

How can we mobilize more social capital to support the ecological transformation of agriculture?
The 2010 Central Document No. 1 explicitly mentioned the need to establish an agricultural industry development fund, support the development of leading agricultural enterprises, and explore innovation in the rural financial system. Before the issuance of Central Document No. 1, the relevant central departments, including the Central Rural Work Leading Group Office, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the People's Bank of China, and others, went through nearly 4 years of repeated deliberation and consideration, and solicited opinions from all sides, and only then was this matter explicitly confirmed in Central Document No. 1. So the gestation period was very long. After Document No. 1 was issued, the State Council instructed the Ministry of Finance to take the lead in establishing this fund. After nearly a year of preparation, the fund was officially registered and established at the end of 2012.
