National Forum of Major Grain producing Counties: giving benefits to Food and Agriculture and not eating in main producing areas

Of the 800 major grain-producing counties that account for nearly 3/4 of the country's total grain output, there are more than 100 state-level poverty-stricken counties, with a poverty-stricken population of 36 million. This shows that China's grain output and county-level financial resources' grain upside down 'phenomenon is very obvious, and may bring hidden dangers to food security.

So said a research report released by the China well-off Construction Research Association in August this year.

To this end, on December 12, the China well-off Construction Research Association, in conjunction with the China Economic Reform Research Foundation and the China Agricultural Economics Association, jointly held a national high-end forum on investment and innovation in major grain-producing counties. based on better promoting the overall development of urban and rural areas in major grain-producing counties, we will effectively ensure the strategic security of the country's food security. Wang Julu, deputy director of the Social and Rule of Law Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, Duan Yingbi, president of the China Poverty Alleviation Fund, Chen Mengshan, secretary of the party group of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yin Chengjie, president of the China Agricultural Economics Society, and Ye Xingqing, head of the Rural economy Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, attended the meeting.

In his speech, Chen Mengshan said: China's grain can achieve "12 consecutive increases" this year, and its achievements are not easy to come by. Therefore, we must stabilize the enthusiasm of the governments of large grain-producing counties, stabilize the enthusiasm of grain-growing farmers, consolidate, adjust and improve support policies, and increase the drive for scientific and technological innovation, so as to realize "giving priority to ourselves, based at home, ensuring production capacity and moderate imports." the new concept of food security supported by science and technology.

He suggested that we should establish a number of stable grain areas to protect permanent grain fields, improve the mechanism of assessment, evaluation and benefit compensation, fully implement the mechanism of division of labor in central and local grain production, and the mechanism of connecting interests between grain production areas and major marketing areas. we should clarify the tasks of the main selling areas, improve the ability of grain emergency security, and alleviate the grain storage burden of the main producing areas. Increase agricultural investment in major grain-producing counties, improve the management level of major grain-producing counties, and solve the problem of agricultural loans. It is also suggested that during the 13th five-year Plan period, the construction of modern agriculture and the development of urban-rural integration in major grain-producing counties should be promoted to the national level and strategic level.

Yin Chengjie pointed out that the state finance, finance, insurance and social capital should work together to promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas in major grain-producing counties. It is necessary to distribute the investment in large grain-producing counties, take the problem as the orientation, take the urgent demand as the trend, and take the overall realization of the construction of a well-off society in rural areas as the direction. We should adhere to the development concept of "innovation, green, coordination, openness and sharing" put forward in the 13th five-year Plan proposal. It is necessary to embody the concept of sharing, let the major grain-producing counties share the support of national finance, finance, insurance and social capital, embody the concept of coordinated development, and promote the coordinated development of agriculture and other industries in major grain-producing counties through investment in the integrated development of urban and rural areas in major grain-producing counties. It is necessary to embody the concept of "sense of gain", make farmers feel that they have nothing to lose when growing grain, maintain the enthusiasm of local governments to grasp grain and the broad masses of farmers to grow grain, and provide guarantee for the country's food security.

He stressed that investment in major grain-producing counties should be taken as a priority, helping major grain-producing counties to take the lead in realizing agricultural modernization, supporting major grain-producing counties to take the lead in transforming agricultural development, and realizing the "new five modernizations" of the integrated development of urban and rural areas. we will support major grain-producing counties to take the lead in promoting rural reform and institutional innovation, and encourage the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in major grain-producing counties.

Wang Julu said: although China's grain production has increased for 12 years in a row, we should still be vigilant. Problems such as increasing agricultural production but not increasing income have been challenging the country's food security and perplexing the development of the rural economy. He suggested that the development concept of attaching importance to cities over townships should be gradually changed, under the new normal of economic development, the decisive role of the market in allocating resources should be brought into full play, the government should better perform the function of macro-control, and the investment in rural consumption and supply should be increased. At the same time, we should take more measures to ensure national food security as a historical mission, and speed up the transformation of traditional agriculture to benefit-oriented, scientific and technological, ecological, large-scale, market-oriented and international green modern agriculture.

The 800 major grain counties across the country account for 73.64% of the country's total grain output, and they are the main force of our grain production. Strengthening the production capacity construction of major grain counties and arousing the enthusiasm of farmers in major grain-producing counties is the fundamental guarantee for the effective implementation of the national grain security strategy.
