"break the contract and abandon farming" should be vigilant to ensure that the interests of farmers will not be harmed.

Guide industrial and commercial capital to enter agriculture in an orderly manner to ensure that farmers' interests are not harmed and agricultural production is not affected.

It is true that industrial and commercial capital going to the countryside can bring capital, technology and advanced business models, and speed up the transformation of traditional agriculture and the construction of modern agriculture, but risks such as "breaking contracts and abandoning farming" have to be prevented.

In order to ensure the supply of raw materials, a food processing enterprise in Hebei Province transferred more than 7000 mu of land in nearly 50 villages last year, agreeing to give farmers a transfer fee of 1680 yuan per mu. But in less than a year, the enterprise offered to return the land before the farmers saw the full amount of land rent. Moreover, because the return time missed the farming time, some of the land was abandoned. This kind of large-scale industrial and commercial capital transfer of land and "destroy the contract to abandon farming" situation, not only in Hebei, some central and eastern provinces also have a similar phenomenon. The land transferers unilaterally break the contract or even "run away", the land rent is difficult to cash, and the returned land is either missing, or the motor wells and pipes are seriously damaged.

In the past two years, the investment prospect of modern agriculture has been widely optimistic, and industrial and commercial capital going to the countryside has been booming in many places. The "predators" in the field of so-and-so have entered agriculture again, and so-and-so enterprises have promised "sky-high" land rents to farmers. Similar news is often seen in the newspapers. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, the area of contracted land flowing into enterprises has grown at an average annual rate of more than 20% in the past three years, reaching 38.825 million mu by the end of 2014, accounting for about 10% of the total area of contracted land transferred by farmers in the country. In this wave of higher than one wave, the occurrence of the phenomenon of "breaking contracts and abandoning farming" is nothing more than a "sobering agent" to remind people to think calmly about the risks behind this upsurge.

On the face of it, these industrial and commercial capital returns have their objective reasons, either the tight capital chain is difficult to pay the land rent, or the production line is difficult to digest a large number of raw materials. But in a deep sense, on the one hand, these rural capital have forgotten the "degree" of gradual and steady development, blindly greedy for more and greedy, forming a new "diseconomy of scale." The stride is too big, but the corresponding managers and management experience can not keep up with it, and it is inevitable to "flash the waist". On the other hand, we have to say that these people who are not good at farming are fearless and blindly follow the trend because they underestimate the basic attributes of agriculture, the complexity, long-term nature and high risk of agricultural investment. In the event of natural disasters or market changes, deal with confusion. Many "old hands" of farming have questioned that enterprises dare to raise land rents again and again: "can you earn so much just by growing grain?"

Although it is said that "breaking the contract and abandoning farming" is because the rural capital has lost money, it is agriculture and farmers who are even more injured. In the face of injured farmers and abandoned farmland, it has to be said that behind "breaking the contract and abandoning farmland", there are still shortcomings in the supervision of land circulation. For quite a period of time, there is no upper limit on the time and area of capital going to the countryside to "take land", and there is no clear stipulation on the qualification, project examination and risk protection system of capital transfer to the countryside. The land transfer service system in some places is still in the stage of "hanging signs and issuing documents", and its functions need to be further brought into play.

Only when you walk steadily can you go far. In view of the problems that are easy to occur when industrial and commercial capital goes to the countryside, the relevant departments should guide them in time and prescribe the right medicine to the case. Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and other four departments jointly issued documents to strengthen the supervision and risk prevention of industrial and commercial capital leasing of agricultural land. The document not only proposes an upper limit on the time and area of farmland leased by industrial and commercial capital, but also encourages all localities to explore the establishment of a qualification examination and project examination system for industrial and commercial capital leasing of agricultural land in accordance with the law, and requires the establishment of a hierarchical filing system. This is of great significance in guiding industrial and commercial capital to enter agriculture in an orderly manner, ensuring that the interests of farmers are not harmed and agricultural production is not affected.

When it comes to modern agriculture, industrial and commercial capital is welcome to go to the countryside, but please do your homework carefully before you come, and don't let the "breaking the contract and abandoning farming" happen again.
