Where are the focal points for building a strong province with modern agriculture?

To build a strong province with modern agriculture, Henan's agriculture must have strong influence, competitiveness and momentum for sustainable development nationwide. To achieve this goal, three focal points should be grasped:

Focus on enhancing Henan's agricultural production capacity so that major agricultural products have an important position and influence nationwide. First, enhance land production capacity. Henan's per capita arable land area is below the national average, and the proportion of medium- and low-grade land is very large, agricultural infrastructure is outdated, and efficiency is low. We must protect arable land, improve soil, control pollution, enhance arable land quality, increase agricultural infrastructure construction, vigorously implement the project to build and upgrade high-standard grain fields, and raise the output level of arable land. Second, vigorously raise the level of agricultural science and technology. Great efforts must be made to cultivate more high-quality and high-yield varieties, achieve scientific planting and scientific breeding, strive to improve the level of agricultural mechanization and agricultural informatization, and use modern science and technology to enhance agricultural production capacity. Third, accelerate the training of new-type professional farmers. At present, our province's agricultural workers still have a relatively large gap from the requirements of a strong province with modern agriculture in terms of ideas and concepts, scientific, technological and cultural levels, and the ability to adapt to the market. Therefore, the government must increase training for farmers, effectively improve farmers' vocational skills, and cultivate more new-type professional farmers.

Focus on meeting market demand with high-quality agricultural products and enhancing the appeal and competitiveness of Henan's agricultural products. As people's income levels and living standards improve, consumers pay more attention to product quality. The development of Henan's agriculture must adapt to changes in market demand, strengthen quality awareness, change the current situation of being large but not strong and abundant but not excellent, and enhance the market competitiveness of Henan's agricultural products. It is necessary to implement the concept of green development, strengthen the treatment of agricultural non-point source pollution, and develop ecological agriculture. Actively implement the brand strategy, fully leverage the resource advantages of various places in Henan, and build distinctive brands of Henan agricultural products. It is necessary to vigorously promote standardized agricultural production, actively establish a brand certification support system, and strengthen quality and safety supervision of agricultural products.

Focus on improving efficiency and enhancing the momentum for sustainable development of Henan's agriculture. First, promote large-scale agricultural operations. It is necessary to accelerate the advancement of new-type urbanization, promote the transfer of agricultural population to cities, and reduce the number of laborers engaged in agricultural production. At the same time, it is necessary to promote rural land transfer, cultivate new-type agricultural business entities, and improve labor productivity through large-scale operations and socialized services. Second, adjust the internal structure of agriculture. Guided by market demand, and on the premise of ensuring food security, establish the concept of big agriculture and big food, coordinate the development of grain, cash crops and feed, vigorously develop meat, eggs, milk, fish, fruit, vegetables, edible fungi, tea, etc., increase the comprehensive benefits of agriculture, and increase agricultural income. Third, promote industrial integration. Connect agricultural input win-win cooperation with the production, processing and sales of agricultural products, organically integrate crop planting with leisure agriculture, sightseeing agriculture and the tourism industry, promote the integration of "Internet Plus" with agriculture, extend the industrial chain of agricultural products, and enable agriculture to share in the returns from the entire industrial chain.
