China's Soybean Revitalization Plan and Accelerated Dairy Industry Revitalization: 2019 New Policies on Agriculture, Rural Areas and Farmers
The policies on agriculture, rural areas and farmers are policies that many farmers pay attention to, and this year's policies on agriculture, rural areas and farmers have been officially released. So what important points does this policy contain? Let's take a look together below.
The 2019 "Several Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Adhering to the Priority Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas and Doing a Good Job in the Work of “Agriculture, Rural Areas and Farmers”" pointed out the implementation of the soybean revitalization plan. Support rapeseed production in the Yangtze River Basin, and promote the demonstration and extension of new varieties and new technologies as well as full-process mechanization. Implement the dairy industry revitalization action, and implement the infant formula milk powder improvement action. This year and next are the decisive period for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and there are many hard tasks that must be completed in the field of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”.
Among these, there are also 6 key points worthy of attention
⟦NL> 1. Complete the poverty alleviation task without fail, continue to tilt major engineering and construction projects toward deeply impoverished areas, and implement basic medical insurance and critical illness insurance.
2. Develop and strengthen rural industries, develop diversified specialty agriculture according to local conditions, deeply advance “Internet + agriculture”, cultivate leading enterprises and consortiums in agricultural industrialization, advance modern agricultural industrial parks, and accelerate the citizenization of the agricultural transferred population.
3. Strictly observe the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land, ensure that the grain sown area remains stable at 1.65 billion mu, and ensure the completion of 800 million mu of high-standard farmland by 2020. Restore the construction of cotton and sugar crop bases, implement the soybean and dairy industry revitalization plans and industrial chain construction, take rice and wheat as varieties that must be guaranteed, promote biological seed industries and smart agriculture, accelerate agricultural mechanization, and strengthen “Belt and Road” international agricultural cooperation.
4. Fill in the shortcomings in the rural living environment and public services, including rural garbage and sewage treatment, the toilet revolution, strengthening village road construction, power grid renovation, logistics infrastructure networks, and broadband networks. Continue to advance the renovation of dilapidated rural houses. Accelerate the equalization of basic urban and rural public services in education, medical care and health, social security, elderly care, culture and sports, and other areas.
5. Deepen the reform of the rural land system. Allow the management rights of contracted land to be used for guaranteed financing. Comprehensively roll out the reform of the rural land expropriation system and the reform of market entry for rural collective operational construction land, accelerate the work of confirming, registering and issuing certificates for the right to use homestead land, and strive to basically complete it by 2020. Steadily and prudently advance the reform of the rural homestead system, and promptly formulate guiding opinions on strengthening rural homestead management. Study and draft regulations on the use of rural homesteads. Carry out pilot projects for the reclamation of idle homesteads.
⟦NL>6. Accelerate the building of a new type of agricultural subsidy policy system. Advance pilot projects for full-cost insurance and income insurance for rice, wheat and corn. Expand pilot projects for major agricultural disaster insurance and “insurance + futures”.
Judging from this year's “policies on agriculture, rural areas and farmers”, they are basically a continuation of the policies of recent years. However, unlike the past, this policy has given specific time targets in many aspects, indicating that the implementation intensity has clearly increased. At the same time, it has been strengthened in various aspects of increasing the quantity and improving the quality of agricultural grain, especially emphasizing cotton, sugar, soybeans, the dairy industry, biological seed industries, and agricultural mechanization and industrialization, and these aspects may see obvious benefits.
In addition, rural grassroots facilities, public services, education, medical care and health, social security, elderly care, culture and sports, and other aspects remain favorable as always.
