The Ministry of Agriculture launches China's Agricultural Outlook activities

In order to comply with the development trend of agricultural marketization and internationalization, learn from the experience of developed countries and relevant international organizations, and explore the establishment of China's agricultural outlook system in line with national conditions, the Market early warning expert Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture will organize the 2015 China Agriculture Outlook Conference in Beijing from April 20 to 21 and formally issue the China Agriculture Outlook report (2015-2024). On April 3, Chen Xiaohua, chief member of the Market early warning expert Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, invited members of the relevant departments and bureaus of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Grain Administration to jointly examine and approve the China Agriculture Outlook report (2015-2024) and launch China Agriculture Outlook activities.

The committee members attending the meeting believed that holding an agricultural outlook conference and issuing an agricultural outlook report is a common practice of developed countries and relevant international organizations. The United States has held the 92nd Agricultural Outlook Conference since 1923 and issued an agricultural outlook report every year, effectively mastering the right to say the pricing of international agricultural products and the initiative in international trade. Australia has held the 44th Agricultural Outlook Conference and issued the Agricultural Outlook report since 1971, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have jointly held the 10th Agricultural Outlook Conference and issued the Agricultural Outlook report since 2005, which has had a far-reaching impact on the global agricultural product market. The convening of the China Agricultural Outlook Conference to issue the China Agricultural Outlook report is an important measure for our country to meet the needs of the development of agricultural marketization, informationization and internationalization, and to innovate the mode of agricultural administration and improve the market regulation mechanism of agricultural products. This time, the China Agriculture Outlook report (2015-2024) was officially released in the name of the "Market early warning expert Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture". Combined with the new normal characteristics of China's economic development, it has a good grasp of the overall situation of the agricultural product market at present and for a period in the future. it marks the official opening of China's agricultural outlook activities, which is of milestone significance.

Chen Xiaohua pointed out: grasping the market outlook of important agricultural products and issuing China's agricultural outlook report are important contents of strengthening the construction of agricultural information monitoring and early warning system and important measures to improve the market regulation and control mechanism of agricultural products prices. The practice and exploration in recent years shows that the Agricultural Outlook Conference can become an important platform for gathering information resources at home and abroad, strengthening the role of information guidance, giving voice to China and promoting the right of international discourse. We should learn from the advanced practices of developed countries, sum up the experience of the 2015 China Agricultural Outlook Conference, fully rely on the strength of the market early warning expert committee, constantly innovate forms, enrich content, and strengthen international influence. we will build the Outlook Conference into an important platform to enhance the international voice and influence, and speed up the construction of China's agricultural outlook system.

Chen Xiaohua demanded that the relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Agriculture should strengthen communication with relevant departments, rely on the platform of the Prospect Conference, give full play to the role of the expert Committee on Market early warning of the Ministry of Agriculture, and focus on important products such as grain, cotton, oil, sugar and pigs regulated by the central government. We should carry out a good agricultural situation analysis and consultation, timely discuss the operation of the agricultural and rural economy and the market of agricultural products, and strive to form "a situation and a consistent judgment." The pattern of "one question, one consensus, one index, one number, one policy and one agreement together" provides decision-making support for the construction of modern agriculture in the new era.
