Chemical fertilizer use accounts for 35% of the world.

Qian Keming, member of the CPPCC National Committee and chief economist of the Ministry of Agriculture, said: as the economy enters the new normal, profound changes are taking place in the internal and external environment of China's agricultural development, and in the future we can no longer pursue "12 consecutive increases" or even "20 consecutive increases." we must accelerate the transformation and upgrading of agriculture. Qian Keming said: China accounts for 35 percent of the world's annual chemical fertilizer use, which is equivalent to the sum of the United States and India, and the pesticide utilization rate is only 35 percent, 10 percent lower than that of developed countries. On the whole, the marginal benefit of agricultural inputs in China has obviously declined, the environmental capacity is approaching the limit, the resource constraints are further tightened, and the original development model has been difficult to sustain.

Zhu Baocheng, member of the CPPCC National Committee and president of the China Association for the Development and Service of High-quality Agricultural products, suggested that agricultural products should be classified and stratified according to different production regions, economic conditions, and development stages. the goals and measures for the development of agricultural brands will be included in the 13th five-year Plan. The products with high technical content, large market capacity, high added value and low energy consumption should be included in the strategic planning, establish and improve the industrial chain, value chain and supply chain of brand agriculture, enhance the influence of brand agriculture, and guide it to become bigger and stronger.
