Yu Xinrong: practically promote the transformation of agriculture and strive to optimize the structure of corn

Vice Minister Yu Xinrong stressed at the meeting on the adjustment of corn structure and the implementation of "changing grain to feed" in some provinces:

Practically promote the transformation of agriculture and focus on optimizing corn structure to improve agricultural quality and efficiency.

On August 28, the Ministry of Agriculture held a meeting on corn structure adjustment and "grain to feed" promotion and implementation in some provinces in Inner Mongolia to exchange practices and experiences of corn structure adjustment and "grain to feed" pilot projects in various places, and to deploy and arrange corn structure adjustment work. Yu Xinrong, vice minister of agriculture, stressed that to adapt to the new changes in the grain supply and demand situation and the new requirements of sustainable development, it is necessary to make overall planning, scientific layout, take the initiative, comply with the trend, and promote the optimization of corn structure and industrial transformation and upgrading, and strive to achieve the goal of stabilizing grain income and improving quality and efficiency.

Yu Xinrong pointed out: to implement the central government's decision to change the mode of agricultural development, enhance the ability of sustainable agricultural development, improve the comprehensive efficiency of agricultural production, and enhance the international competitiveness of China's agriculture under the new normal, there is an urgent need to speed up the restructuring of corn. In accordance with the overall requirements of the national food security strategy under the new situation, we should persist in taking market demand as the orientation, ecological restoration as the vision, improving quality and efficiency as the goal, and respecting the wishes of farmers as the premise, optimize and specially adjust the industrial structure of deep corn, and speed up the construction of a modern agricultural industrial system featuring overall planning of grain economy and feeding, combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, integration of planting and breeding, and industrial integration.

Yu Xinrong stressed that promoting the restructuring of corn is a systematic project, which requires scientific planning, clear objectives, active actions, and orderly promotion.

First, highlight the "comparative advantage" and build a new industrial system. To achieve the combination of land use, agriculture and animal husbandry, production and marketing, to create the whole industry chain.

The second is to achieve the "four improvements" and promote the quality, efficiency and sustainable development of agriculture. Efforts should be made to improve corn production capacity, improve corn production quality and efficiency, improve the market competitiveness of agricultural products, and improve the ability of sustainable development.

The third is to grasp the "five principles" to ensure the orderly progress of corn structural adjustment. Adhere to measures in line with local conditions, ensure pressure and guarantee, adhere to market orientation, respect the wishes of farmers, adhere to innovation-driven, promote quality improvement and efficiency, adhere to multi-industry, promote industrial integration, focus on the whole world, and ensure industrial security.

The fourth is to highlight the "six key points" to ensure the actual results of corn structural adjustment. The key points are the adjustment of ecological suitability, the adjustment of the combination of planting and cultivation, the adjustment of ecological protection, the adjustment of the combination of planting and cultivation, the adjustment of retention and pressure, and the adjustment around the market.

Yu Xinrong demanded that corn structural readjustment should highlight the key points, strengthen measures, continue to increase strength, contribute to it for a long time, and earnestly grasp the implementation of various measures.

First, we should earnestly strengthen planning and guidance. Conscientiously implement the "sickle bend" area corn structure adjustment plan, combined with local reality, determine the adjustment and reduction of areas, alternative crops, industrial convergence, the overall layout, simultaneous promotion. Next year, the four provinces and regions in Northeast China will strive to achieve the goal of reducing the corn area by more than 10 million mu.

The second is to earnestly grasp the implementation of the policy. We should adjust and improve and implement the temporary corn collection and storage policy to protect farmers' enthusiasm for production; do a good job in the pilot projects of "changing grain to feed" in the agro-pastoral ecotone in the north and the fourth five-year accumulated temperate grain and bean rotation in Heilongjiang, so as to sum up and accumulate experience; it is also necessary to explore the establishment of financial, credit, insurance and other support policies.

The third is to do a good job of scientific and technological innovation. Speed up the cultivation of special varieties for silage, and replace the planting varieties of high-yield and high-quality miscellaneous grains and forage grass; integrate and popularize different planting patterns such as grain silage, corn to forage, corn to miscellaneous grains, corn to soybean, and speed up demonstration and popularization.

Fourth, we should do a good job in industrial management. We will cultivate new business entities such as large farmers, family farms, and farmers' cooperatives, and cultivate a number of leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization with strong strength, good reputation and close ties, so as to promote structural adjustment and industrial transformation and upgrading.

Fifth, do a good job of propaganda and guidance. Timely summarize and publicize the good practices, good experiences and good models that have emerged in various places, so as to create a good atmosphere of public opinion.

The picture shows that the corn silage planting base in Nashitu, Tumote left Banner, Inner Mongolia, and the double pasture of Chiteng Animal Husbandry Company are carrying out the whole mechanized operation of corn silage. Harvesting, crushing, pipeline loading, transportation, pasture unloading, paving, spraying additives, compaction, sealing and cellar entry will be completed in the shortest possible time.
