Transformation and upgrading of the agricultural reclamation economy: experts suggest letting workers share the fruits of reform
How can new engines and new momentum be created for the development of the agricultural reclamation economy, and how can new business forms and new forces in the agricultural reclamation economy be cultivated, thereby generating new growth points for the agricultural reclamation economy? Chen Jin, advisor to the China Agricultural Reclamation Economy Research Association and president of the Anhui Provincial Agricultural Economics Society, said that through reform the agricultural reclamation economy must achieve transformation and upgrading, and workers must also share the dividends of reform on an equal basis.
Safeguarding food security must never waver
Agricultural reclamation must reasonably arrange the priority order of agricultural industry development, promote the coordinated development of the three-part structure of grain, cash crops and forage, develop intensive and deep processing of agricultural products, and implement projects to improve the quality and efficiency of horticultural products. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of grain drying, drying facilities and storage facilities in agricultural reclamation, and enhance the post-production handling and primary processing capacity of grain in agricultural reclamation. Strictly control the entry of agricultural inputs, establish a traceability system for the quality and safety of agricultural products from field to table, develop a cold-chain logistics system for fresh agricultural products, and build a national e-commerce center.
Stimulate people's vitality for creation and entrepreneurship
For the agricultural reclamation economy to transform and upgrade, the key is to give play to the wisdom of millions of agricultural reclamation people. Agricultural reclamation has a high-quality workforce of 3.23 million people, and preferential policies should be formulated to encourage workers to start businesses, innovate and create. At the same time, it is necessary to rely on the technological advantages of agricultural reclamation enterprises to improve the competitiveness and profitability of agricultural products, so that farm workers and agricultural operating organizations can fairly share the dividends of the industry.
"Internet Plus" gives rise to new business forms
Chen Jin said that agricultural reclamation should make "Internet Plus" a new force forging growth in the agricultural reclamation economy. Innovate the circulation model of agricultural products, build a chain of "Internet Plus field markets plus e-commerce plus urban distribution," create smart agriculture, Internet-of-Things agriculture, health and elderly care agriculture, and so on, and promote the rise of the leisure tourism industry, logistics industry, express delivery industry and online stores in agricultural reclamation, driving entrepreneurship and employment among agricultural reclamation workers.
Carry the new engine of the "Belt and Road"
The "Belt and Road" strategy covers 26 countries and regions and 4.4 billion people, and will generate an economic scale of 21 trillion US dollars. Chen Jin said that deep cooperation opportunities lie in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, agricultural machinery, and the production and processing of agricultural products. As the national team in agriculture, agricultural reclamation must seize this opportunity to accelerate "going global." It is necessary to accurately select the key industries and priority areas for "going global," rely on advantageous industries, and stake out an early position in warehousing, transportation and other aspects; it is necessary to strengthen risk prevention and control for "going global," help enterprises solve practical difficulties, and increase policy support.
