Re-examine the legal system of agricultural product price

Under the premise that the market plays a decisive role in the allocation of resources, the price of agricultural products is usually determined by the market. The government, as the regulator of the agricultural market, its direct intervention in the price of agricultural products must be controlled to a minimum.

In China, the price legal system, as the basic law for adjusting the price relationship of agricultural products, is scheduled for 1997, although from the point of view at that time, it is a very good law and plays a very important role in promoting the development of China's market economy.

However, more than 10 years later, after the establishment of the goal of economic reform that the market plays a decisive role in the allocation of resources and give better play to the role of the government, it is not difficult to re-examine the legal system of the price of agricultural products based on the price law in our country. there are many problems, which need to be improved according to the basic direction of the current economic reform.

In essence, the basic goal of the legal system of agricultural products price is to ensure the relative balance between social supply and demand of agricultural products. Based on the commodity and sociality of agricultural products and the weakness of agriculture, under the background that the market allocation of resources plays a decisive role, the current legal system of agricultural product price should be changed, and according to the goal of economic reform, focus on the regulation of agricultural product market price monopoly behavior, the regulation of agricultural product price unfair competition.

At the same time, we will improve the system of price protection and temporary collection and storage of agricultural products, and the price limit system of agricultural products, as well as the supporting legal systems related to the prices of agricultural products, such as the reserve system for important agricultural products, the system for the disclosure of market information on agricultural products, the regulation and control system for the import and export of agricultural products, and the allocation and supply system for agricultural products.
