Ministry of Agriculture: Development of agricultural access policy for business investment

At present, the agricultural sector is formulating an access system for industrial and commercial enterprises to invest in rural areas and agriculture. The Land Management Law (draft amendment), which deals with the compensation of land expropriated farmers, is expected to need to be retried.

At the press conference of the State Information Office the day before yesterday, Chen Xiwen, deputy head of the Central Rural work leading Group and director of the Office, said that the agricultural sector is formulating an access system for industrial and commercial enterprises to invest in rural areas and agriculture, and that the "Land Management Law (draft Amendment)," which deals with the compensation of land expropriated farmers, is expected to have the second and third trials.

Chen Xiwen said that at the end of November last year, the standing Committee of the State Council specially studied the proposal to amend the Land Management Law to the standing Committee of the National people's Congress, which is more related to the compensation of land-expropriated farmers. "generally speaking, this very important issue can only be passed through the third trial after it is submitted to the standing Committee of the National people's Congress, and it was sent to the first trial in November last year. As far as I know, it is only discussed at the level of group discussion. Whether this bill can be passed in the next step, of course, should be carefully studied by the people's Congress. "

In addition, Chen Xiwen frankly said that some enterprises have no intention of renting farmers' land in rural areas. Instead of seriously engaging in agriculture, they are waiting for one day to change the nature of the land and engage in non-agricultural industries. According to its introduction, at present, the Ministry of Agriculture is stepping up efforts to formulate barriers to entry and regulatory measures in this regard.
