How can we accelerate the development of the agricultural product circulation system?
On November 8, Vice Minister of Agriculture Qu Dongyu pointed out at the meeting that agricultural and rural economic development has entered a new stage, and the "structural adjustment and mode transformation" of agriculture requires both production and market to be addressed simultaneously. As a bridge connecting production and consumption, agricultural product market circulation has played a key role in guiding agricultural production, promoting farmers' income growth, ensuring market supply, and prospering the rural economy.
Qu Dongyu emphasized that at present and for some time to come, the development of the agricultural product circulation system should focus on doing well in four areas: First, give play to the backbone role of agricultural product wholesale markets, improve basic market conditions, provide good information consulting services, and create a favorable marketing environment for dealers; Second, with the integrity-building of dealers and brokers at the core, accelerate the cultivation of modern agricultural marketing entities. Support circulation enterprises in extending their industrial chains, and guide dealers and brokers toward entity-based, large-scale, industrialized, and brand-based development; Third, coordinate and plan the three channels of agricultural product wholesale markets, agricultural exhibitions, and agricultural e-commerce, innovate circulation methods, and strive to create new forms of agricultural product circulation; Fourth, implement and improve relevant circulation policies, reduce circulation costs, improve circulation efficiency, standardize market management, and create a good market atmosphere.
