How does the New Silk Road Economic Belt develop characteristic agriculture? How does the government set up the stage?

According to a new study, agricultural development in the Silk Road Economic Belt should not blindly follow the old path of scale and homogenization, but should give full play to local ecological advantages and cultural resources. combine Internet thinking, modern marketing concepts and a variety of new business models to develop "New Silk Road characteristic Agriculture." Based on the comparison of agricultural resources between the five northwestern provinces and five Central Asian countries, as well as the analysis of the Silk Road Economic Belt (), the study completed by Pangu think-tank proposes that the government should set up the stage and establish a characteristic agricultural industry alliance and a specific road map for the new Silk Road Economic Belt.

How does the government set up the stage?

The aforementioned study holds that under the background of comprehensively deepening agricultural reform in China, focusing on supporting agricultural development in Northwest China can not only increase the income of local farmers, but also reduce the emergence of social phenomena such as "hollow villages" and "left-behind children".

"the five northwestern provinces are rich in natural resources and cultural heritage, and the environmental and ecological value and pluralistic history and culture brought by these resources are unique and unportable. In order to develop agriculture, we should make full use of these resources, make use of the new models, new tools and new methods that have emerged in the modern new economy, and take the differentiated road of characteristic agricultural development. " The study suggests that.

The contemporary characteristic new agriculture is the combination of agriculture and the new service industry, such as traceable agricultural products, customized farms, agricultural products e-commerce and other emerging agricultural business models, on the one hand, can increase the added value of agricultural products, help to increase farmers' income; on the other hand, the new service model can increase employment opportunities. Therefore, "Silut" agriculture is the winning stone of backward agriculture in Northwest China.

Looking at the situation of the five northwestern provinces in the Silk Road Economic Belt, the researchers suggest that the government can strengthen construction and guidance from the following four aspects:

First, establish a fast cold chain logistics channel of "sending agriculture from the west to the east" and plan important node cities.

Most agricultural products generally require cold chain logistics and transportation. Many characteristic agricultural products rot in the transportation because there is no fresh-keeping cold chain logistics channel, and the logistics problem has become a major bottleneck of agricultural development in the northwest region. Only 5%, 15% and 23% of fruits and vegetables, meat and aquatic products enter the cold chain system in China. In Europe, the United States, Japan and other developed countries, agricultural products enter the cold chain circulation of more than 95%. Therefore, there is a huge space for the development of China's logistics industry, and the government needs to vigorously support the development of the cold chain logistics industry.

Second, guide investment in fresh-keeping storage facilities to enhance farmers' bargaining power.

Farmers have been in a weak position for a long time, and lack of bargaining power is mainly because they are facing huge circulation pressure. If the production of agricultural products cannot be sold, they can only rot in their own hands, the interests of farmers have always been squeezed by purchasers, and their income has never gone up. The construction of fresh storage can alleviate the great pressure of circulation and enhance the bargaining power of farmers, which is a real project for the benefit of the people.

Third, vigorously develop high-efficiency and water-saving agriculture and protect the ecology of the Silk Road.

Because the entire Silk Road Economic Belt is located in the hinterland of Eurasia, especially the warm and humid air flow that separates the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean (601099), the climate in this area is a typical continental climate, which is characterized by: first, Rain Water is scarce and extremely dry; second, there is sufficient sunlight and large evaporation; third, the temperature changes sharply. Water resources are scarce resources for the countries and regions in the New Silk Road Economic Belt, so it is necessary to vigorously develop efficient water-saving agriculture. It can be said that efficient water-saving agriculture is the guarantee for the sustainable development of agriculture in the Silk Road Economic Belt.

Fourth, lower the door frame to encourage entrepreneurship and activate the stock of human capital.

The reason why the problem in the western region has become a persistent disease in our country for many years is mainly due to the conservative thinking of the local people and the lack of vitality. Most of the people in the Silk Road economic belt are still dominated by the idea of small-scale peasant economy and lack entrepreneurial spirit. By setting up entrepreneurial leaders and becoming rich, the government should mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to explore new business methods, attract young people who go out to work to go home and start a business, and provide corresponding material support and knowledge training. strive to activate the stock of human capital on the Silk Road.

Road map of characteristic agriculture

Based on the agricultural resources in Central Asia and Northwest China, Pangu think Tank puts forward specific suggestions for the development of characteristic agriculture in the New Silk Road Economic Belt from the aspects of culture, mechanism change, innovation, protection and development characteristics. connect the economies of the economic belt with the fastest growing and most potential markets in the world, so as to improve the regional cooperation and economic strength of these regions.

First, establish a "Silut" agricultural industry alliance.

With the guiding ideology of "government participation, market leadership", the "Silut" agricultural industry alliance is established to gather entrepreneurial ideas, excellent entrepreneurs and industrial strategic capital. Guide big capital with new thinking to support incubation of innovative enterprises to build big brands. From a strategically advantageous position, holding high, from top to bottom to create a "silk" agricultural industry alliance platform, so as to promote the innovation and development of agriculture. This is also conducive to solving the current situation of local governments doing things their own way and setting up barriers to each other.

Second, strengthen the function of regional market and cultivate the main brand consciousness.

The development of the Silk Road depends on the strength of the main body of the market, and the northwest region is lack of brand awareness of the main body, showing a small, scattered, chaotic and weak pattern. Support local potential small and micro enterprises, introduce excellent enterprises in developed areas, let these excellent market subjects use modern management models to transform agriculture, turn farms into enterprises, and professionalize farmers, thus forming a good ecological environment for agricultural industry. On this basis, take the leading enterprises of the industrial chain (such as New Hope) as the benchmark, rely on the mysterious culture of the Western region to market the "Silut" brand, and create a brand with story, culture and resonance.

Third, develop the characteristics of the Western region and dig the heritage of the "Silk Road".

The ancient Silk Road has left us a lot of valuable wealth, including high-quality agricultural resources and rich farming culture. "Silut" agriculture should focus on the characteristics of the northwest and excavate these precious heritages. From the excavation of germplasm resources and cultural heritage as the starting point, the Silk Road agriculture to make its own characteristics.

Fourth, the use of new technology to develop a new model, all-round service "agriculture, rural areas and farmers".

The development of "Silut" agriculture must comply with the general trend of national industrial transformation and upgrading and the new economy, and innovate all aspects of the industrial chain by using new technologies and new models. Mobile Internet e-commerce thinking is changing with each passing day for the transformation of agriculture at the sales end and transaction end. From Jack Ma's recent visit to Xinjiang and Gansu, we can see that the Internet is accelerating its infiltration into agriculture. "Silk" agriculture must actively embrace this trend and try to use Internet cloud computing technology to reinvent the entire industry chain in order to establish its own core advantages.

In addition, the use of intelligent Internet of things technology to explore lean agriculture, and based on a large number of production and marketing and other data to establish agricultural big data center, so that "silk" agriculture on the road of scientific production and precision marketing.
