Set a threshold and rules for the capital going to the countryside, so that those who really work in agriculture and have the ability to do so can stay, and those who are out of their minds and infringe upon the interests of farmers are stuck outside the door.

Nowadays, the enthusiasm of capital to go to the countryside to cultivate land is high, whether it is real estate or the Internet, all kinds of enterprises are chasing each other into agriculture. 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. However, it is not that you can turn to agriculture if you have money. "Rice is delicious and difficult to grow in the fields", and it is not uncommon for people to go to the countryside to lose money.

In a well-known rice producing area in Northeast China, a boss talked about his farming experience: two years ago, the company transferred 5000 mu of land. It was originally envisaged that large-scale operation would definitely make money by saving costs and increasing efficiency. Unexpectedly, it is not easy to know that people are not familiar with the land, the turnover fee is a bit higher than that of large households, the cost of hiring workers is high, the farmers hired are not concerned about farming, and the yield per mu is 300 jin lower than that of ordinary farmers. He paid the "tuition fee" for two years in a row, but he gave up although the contract did not expire.

Judging from the practice in many places, industrial and commercial capital grows grain and other field crops, most of which are "diseconomies of scale." But what capital pursues is profit, and it is impossible to grow fruits, vegetables and flowers, and engage in high-tech and ecological agriculture. for many enterprises that do not understand agriculture, high investment means higher risks, and it is inevitable to lose money and make money. Such being the case, why do so many enterprises go to the countryside one after another? Some lack understanding of the long-term nature and risk of agricultural investment and blindly follow the trend; some have bad intentions, and the transferred land does not grow crops to "grow houses." Some enterprises hold a speculative mentality, coupled with the local government to add fuel to the flames, so there is a phenomenon that enterprises "have the strength to compete for land, but do not have the ability to farm land", and there is a tendency of non-grain and non-agriculture of cultivated land. If such capital goes to the countryside without restrictions and develops willfully, it is agriculture and farmers who will eventually be injured.

As a matter of fact, agriculture is most short of funds and technology. The entry of capital into agriculture can bring capital, technology and advanced business models, and it is certainly a good thing that it can speed up the transformation of the mode of agricultural development. The key is to set a threshold and rules for the capital going to the countryside, so that those who really work in agriculture and have the ability to do so can stay, and those who are out of their minds and infringe upon the interests of farmers are blocked out of the door. A few days ago, the "opinions on strengthening the Supervision and risk Prevention of Industrial and Commercial Capital Leasing of farmland" issued by the four central departments proposed that the hierarchical filing of industrial and commercial capital leasing of agricultural land is to set strict policy boundaries for rural capital.

What does industrial and commercial capital encourage when entering agriculture? In a word, do what farmers cannot do. It is necessary to encourage the processing and circulation of agricultural products and socialized agricultural services, and encourage the development of capital-and technology-intensive modern farming industries, such as building large-scale modern breeding farms with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, and enterprises will be able to do so if farmers cannot afford to do so. What are the restrictions? We will restrict industrial and commercial capital from leasing agricultural land in a large area for a long time, prevent enterprises from competing with farmers for the right to operate arable land, and force farmers out. What is forbidden? Violations of laws and regulations, such as changing land use, infringing upon farmers' interests, and destroying agricultural production and agricultural ecological environment, are strictly prohibited, which is an insurmountable "bottom line."

With regard to the guidance of industrial and commercial capital to the countryside, local governments must neither be absent nor offside. The situation in various rural areas is different, so it is necessary to take measures in accordance with local conditions, accurately grasp policies, and build a good institutional "firewall." It should be noted that large-scale operation is also in line with the trend, and we must not set targets or set tasks to force farmers to transfer farmland. As far as industrial and commercial capital is concerned, it is necessary to realize that agricultural investment should not be eager for quick success and instant benefits, but should be patient and participate in it for a long time, so that farmers can share the "dividend" of development in order to harvest the future of agriculture.
