No.

Xu Kunlin, director of the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that so far, after liberalizing the purchase prices of tobacco leaves, the prices of agricultural products are entirely formed by the market and there is no government pricing program. However, after opening up, it does not mean that the government does not care, it is necessary to take a variety of means and measures to stabilize agricultural production, protect farmers' enthusiasm for production, and increase farmers' income. At present, the lowest purchase price policy is implemented for rice and wheat.

Xu Kunlin said that the two varieties of cotton and soybeans implement target price subsidies. Corn has also implemented a temporary collection and storage price policy, and live pigs have also formulated market price control plans. The cotton producing area is mainly in Xinjiang. Generally speaking, the price follows the market and is formed by competition. When the market price is too low and farmers' income is affected, the state adopts the method of target price subsidy to make them have a certain benefit on the basis of compensation cost. At present, the cotton target price pilot project in Xinjiang is generally successful, and local cotton farmers welcome it very much. The pilot project of the target price of soybeans is also in progress and is being continuously improved.
