China.com December 7 news On December 7, Yang Shaopin, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Agriculture, said at a press conference that agricultural reclamation is a stabilizer for securing borders and stabilizing Xinjiang. Since its creation, agricultural reclamation has shouldered the unique role of building the border regions, defending the national territory, promoting ethnic unity, and safeguarding unification. At present, agricultural reclamation has a total of 288 border farms and has become an important barrier for the state in maintaining border security, prospering the border economy, promoting ethnic unity, and countering terrorism, drugs, and the intrusion of foreign animal diseases and invasive alien species.
Yang Shaopin said that agricultural reclamation is based on agriculture, establishing a group of large agricultural product production bases with internationally advanced levels and modern agricultural enterprise groups with international competitiveness, fully leveraging its advantages of large-scale operation, market orientation, and a high degree of organization, and striving to make new contributions to ensuring the effective supply of the country's grain and important agricultural products.
He said that it is a demonstration zone for new-type agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics. Not only does the modern agricultural construction of agricultural reclamation lead the country, but through a series of forms such as its window displays, scientific and technological services, cross-regional operations, land trusteeship, contracted cultivation and harvesting, and joint development between reclamation areas and localities, it also demonstrates and drives the development of modern agriculture in surrounding rural areas. At present, agricultural reclamation has created more than 600 modern agricultural demonstration zones of various types, provided more than 60 million mu of agricultural machinery operation area for surrounding rural areas each year, and trained more than 2 million person-times of various types of personnel. Agricultural reclamation's supply of improved seeds accounts for about 28.5% nationwide.
At the same time, Yang Shaopin also emphasized that agricultural reclamation is also a vanguard in foreign agricultural cooperation, and since the 1950s it has undertaken the state's foreign aid tasks in agriculture. Since the 1990s, it began actively exploring international agricultural cooperation with enterprises as the main body, with continuously expanding scale, continuously broadening fields, and more diverse forms. At present, 23 reclamation areas across the country have established 113 overseas enterprises and development projects in 42 countries, making important contributions to serving the country's diplomatic strategy and achieving bilateral and multilateral mutual win-win and mutual benefit.
