Use a number of measures to promote the "vegetable basket" project

The "Government work report" points out that it is necessary to guide farmers to adjust their planting and breeding structure according to the market, deepen the reform of the circulation system, and strive to significantly reduce circulation costs. Haikou City, Hainan Province is an important vegetable production base, which will take a number of measures to ensure supply and people's livelihood.

In order to speed up the change of Haikou citizens' plight of keeping "vegetable baskets" while eating high-priced dishes, Ni Qiang, deputy to the National people's Congress and mayor of Haikou City, said in an interview with reporters that vegetable prices are related to the immediate interests of the masses and are related to people's livelihood. Haikou City took many measures to stabilize vegetable prices last year, established a joint meeting system for the construction of the city's "vegetable basket" project led by the mayor, and closely followed the trend of vegetable prices. A series of measures have been introduced to promote the construction of the "vegetable basket" project and optimize the circulation of the "vegetable basket". In addition, it has timely introduced four measures to solve the shortage of leafy vegetables, such as increasing the transportation outside the island, organizing leading enterprises to grow vegetables, increasing the end network of self-production and marketing, and establishing a cooperation mechanism with surrounding cities and counties for the production and marketing of agricultural products. Next, Haikou will build a "vegetable basket" public information platform to guide vegetable farmers to avoid risks.

Ni Qiang said that since January this year, Haikou has transported 200 tons of Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, lotus white, Shanghai green and other leafy vegetables every day, and set up 62 government supply points for affordable vegetables. At the same time, a major "vegetable basket" product reserve system has been established to ensure a dynamic stock of consumption of vegetables, pork and other important daily necessities for three to five days, and actively implement subsidies for planting leafy vegetables, vegetable greenhouse construction and vegetable cultivation loan discount policies. effectively reduce the cost pressure on producers. By taking a series of measures such as stabilizing prices and ensuring supply, Haikou residents have obviously felt the decline in vegetable prices, and the retail prices in many local leafy vegetable markets have dropped to about 2.5 yuan / jin. At present, the average price of 15 kinds of vegetables frequently purchased by citizens has dropped from 3.72 yuan per jin at the end of December last year to 3.05 yuan per jin, which has dropped in the ranking of large and medium-sized cities across the country.

Ni Qiang said Haikou will also issue another "eight notes" to stabilize and control prices: expanding the planting area of leafy vegetables, increasing the establishment of vegetable sales stalls (special areas) of "vegetable baskets", expanding the end outlets of direct supply of vegetables, building "vegetable baskets" product distribution and distribution projects, cultivating and developing e-commerce for fresh agricultural products, planning and building a comprehensive wholesale market for large and medium-sized agricultural products, improving the insurance subsidy mechanism for vegetable production, and building a "vegetable basket" information system. We will constantly improve the "four-in-one" market supply guarantee system for the monitoring, storage, delivery and transportation of "vegetable baskets".
