(3) the price formation mechanism of agricultural products has been gradually improved. We will continue to improve the minimum grain purchase price and the temporary purchase and storage policy, and the minimum purchase price for wheat and rice will be the same as that of the previous year. The local government is responsible for organizing all kinds of enterprises to purchase rapeseed, and the central finance gives appropriate support to some major producing areas. In-depth summary of Xinjiang cotton, northeast and Inner Mongolia soybean target price reform pilot experience, improve subsidy methods, reduce operating costs, and ensure that subsidy funds are cashed in full and timely to farmers. We will optimize the reserve scale of important agricultural products and adjust the regional layout and variety structure. We will improve the management system of central grain reserves and encourage qualified diversified market entities to participate in the policy collection and storage of bulk agricultural products.

(4) the construction of major water conservancy projects is progressing smoothly. By the end of June, construction of 60 of 172 major water conservancy projects had been started, and construction of a number of projects such as Cen Tianhe in Hunan and Hekou Village in Henan Province had been speeded up. Last year, new projects such as Hanjiwei in Shaanxi, Datengxia in Xijiang, Jiayan in Guizhou, and Altash in Xinjiang were fully implemented. The rural drinking water safety project has been accelerated, the problem of drinking water safety for 9.6 million rural people has been solved, and the progress of construction has been significantly accelerated. Key forestry ecological projects were accelerated, and a total afforestation area of 64.5 million mu was completed by the end of June.

(5) speeding up the construction of a new agricultural management system. Land circulation and agricultural scale management have developed in depth. In recent years, the scale and speed of cultivated land transfer in China have accelerated obviously. by the end of 2014, the circulation area of contracted cultivated land in rural areas was 403 million mu, with the proportion of transfer reaching 30.4%.
