Chen Xiaohua: More than 20,000 villages nationwide have completed the reform of the rural collective property rights system
Beijing, December 1 (Reported by Chang Li): At the research symposium on the reform of the rural collective property rights system held today, Vice Minister of Agriculture Chen Xiaohua revealed that by the end of 2013, 28,000 villages and 50,000 groups nationwide had completed the reform of the rural collective property rights system.
The reform of China's rural collective property rights system began in the late 1980s. Since entering the new century, China has entered a critical period of deepening reform and accelerating the transformation of its economic development model, and there is an urgent need to make progress in key areas and key links of rural economic system reform. The reform of the rural collective property rights system faces both rare opportunities and severe challenges.
Chen Xiwen, deputy head of the Central Rural Work Leading Group, proposed that whether they are grassroots officials or members of village collective economic organizations, their work is all aimed at promoting better development of the collective economy. Therefore, it is necessary to listen more to voices from the grassroots and summarize their practical experience.
According to Sun Lei, director of the Shanghai Rural Work Office, last year, 89 reformed village collective economic organizations in Shanghai distributed income dividends, with total annual dividends of 538 million yuan and an average dividend of 3,032 yuan per person. In Minhang District, farmers' property income, including share income, reached 4,544 yuan, making it the area with the smallest income gap between urban and rural residents in the Shanghai suburbs.
⟦NL> Chen Xiaohua said that actively developing farmers' share cooperation and granting farmers rights to collective asset shares is a clear task put forward by the decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Party. Judging from practice in various places, this reform is conducive to increasing farmers' property income and promoting farmers' income growth; it is conducive to activating the potential of factors and advancing the development of modern agriculture; and it is conducive to safeguarding farmers' democratic rights and improving the rural governance structure.
