Rural land reform implements the system of separating three rights
"Land transfer must adhere to the principles of being lawful, voluntary and compensated, and of market allocation of resources. The government's main role is to manage and provide services well, and it is strictly forbidden to assign targets and set tasks, so as to prevent haste making waste," said Han Changfu.
The gaps in laws and policies need to be filled more quickly
To truly revitalize land, liberate farmers and promote the rapid development of agriculture, targeted and operational policies and measures must be formulated. Song Hongyuan told a Beijing Business Today reporter that advancing the "separation of three rights" means a series of policies and laws must be changed in tandem, but since the direction of reform is clear, the relevant adjustments will inevitably follow.
"Next, the land contract and management system and the reform of the rural collective property rights system will both be further advanced, and the revision of related laws such as the Land Contract Law and the Property Law is expected to accelerate," pointed out Ye Xingqing, director of the Rural Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council.
Overall, this reform focuses on freeing up management rights. Under the "separation of three rights," the transfer of land management rights will be optimized and allocated on a larger scale. The number of farming households producing for self-sufficiency and part-time farming households will inevitably decline sharply, while "new farmers" represented by family farms, cooperatives, agricultural industrialization operations and agricultural enterprises will continue to grow and develop, which will greatly improve agricultural quality, efficiency and competitiveness. This is the foundation and direction for building a modern agricultural management system, so work in this area must be given attention.
In addition, industry analysts also pointed out that clear property rights are the foundation for advancing the "separation of three rights." For this reason, problems such as inaccurate contracted plot areas, unclear boundaries and unclear spatial locations need to be properly resolved to promote fair and open transactions of management rights in the property rights market. After rights confirmation, the connection between registration and certificate issuance must also be fully handled well, so as to consolidate the results of rights confirmation and registration through certificate issuance. Not only that, in the future the decisive role of the market should be brought into fuller play, a well-developed land management rights trading platform should be built, and the rights and interests of the entities trading management rights should also be taken into account.
