Opportunities for the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers in the era of net export of capital

Our country has entered the era of net capital export. If more social capital can be mobilized to enter agriculture, rural areas and farmers, the driving force for the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers will be stronger and more lasting.

Recently, there are three newly released contents related to the general environment and new opportunities for the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, which deserve attention.

On January 21, the National Bureau of Statistics released the operation of the national economy in 2014, showing that China's GDP grew by 7.4% last year, the lowest annual growth rate since 1990. This can be said to be an expected development. This medium-to-high growth rate constitutes the typical characteristics of China's economic "new normal": lower economic growth, more equitable income distribution, a more balanced economic structure, and accelerated industrial upgrading.

Almost at the same time as the release of this data by the National Bureau of Statistics, the website of the Ministry of Commerce announced that China's actual use of foreign investment in 2014 was about 119.6 billion US dollars, an increase of 1.7%, while foreign investment maintained a double-digit growth rate, and the total amount of foreign direct investment is expected to be about 140 billion US dollars. Sun Jiwen, spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said: "China has actually become a net exporter of capital. This is a universal law for the development of an open economy to a higher level, and an important sign of moving from a large economic and trade country to a powerful country." China thus entered the era of net capital export. This will be a new normal phenomenon in China's economy and a new situation worthy of attention in studying economic and social issues including the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.

On January 22, the first national guidance document for rural property rights circulation trading market-Opinions on Guiding the Healthy Development of Rural Property Rights Circulation Trading Market was officially released. This document clearly stipulates that the types of rural property rights transactions that can enter the market at this stage are mainly farmers 'contracted land management rights and collective forest land management rights, and do not involve rural collective land ownership and collective land contracting rights contracted by family contracting according to law.

Comprehensive analysis of these three aspects of information can draw the conclusion that there are more new opportunities for the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers than before in the era of net capital export in China. Stimulated by a series of overseas investment encouragement policies, the enthusiasm of social funds for foreign investment has been greatly released. Therefore, under the situation of medium and high economic growth, the contrarian blowout of foreign investment can be realized, which shows that with the economic development of our country, the power of social funds becomes stronger and stronger, and more and more powerful forces can participate in economic construction.

Under the background of excessive growth of foreign investment, we look at the Opinions on Guiding the Healthy Development of Rural Property Rights Circulation Trading Market issued by the State Council, which can be said to be a policy encouragement to strengthen the investment intensity of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, which has a heavy weight. There is no doubt that a large amount of investment is needed to accelerate the development of rural areas and transform and upgrade agriculture. China's development has accumulated a lot of debts to agriculture, rural areas and farmers for a long time. At present, with the continuous enhancement of comprehensive national strength, the state has been more inclined to agriculture, rural areas and farmers in terms of policies, investment and resource allocation, gradually making up for the shortcomings of agricultural modernization and the lagging debts of rural development, and seeking to establish a new pattern of balanced development of urban and rural integration. Government support and investment are very important, but if more social funds can be allocated by the market into agriculture, rural areas and farmers, the impetus for the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers will be stronger and more lasting.

In recent years, with the obvious increase in the demand for various rural property rights circulation transactions such as contracted land management rights and forest rights of farmers, many places have established various forms of rural property rights circulation trading markets and service platforms. However, due to the unbalanced development of rural property rights circulation market, its establishment, operation and supervision need to be standardized. Due to the complex ownership relationship of rural land and different applicable rules, the Opinions provide classified guidance on rural land ownership, contracting rights and management rights, aiming at implementing the "separation of three rights" and preventing farmers from losing land due to circulation. On the premise of ensuring farmers 'fair sharing of development dividends, encouraging urban and rural talents and funds to participate in the development process of agriculture, rural areas and farmers in an appropriate way will certainly activate benign urban-rural interaction, further liberate potential productive forces and open up a new situation for the integrated development of urban and rural areas.

Becoming a major foreign investment country can be said to be an important symbol of China's rise in the world. How can China rise again as a great power? There are many reasons, but we must admit that the hard work, commitment and sacrifice of Chinese farmers are one of the most important reasons. With the expansion of China's opening up to the outside world, trade in goods and foreign investment are the main channels in the early stage, and the gradual development of service trade in the later stage of "going out" and capital export to participate in the global value chain gradually climbing to the high end of the global value chain is an inevitable path, which is conducive to promoting the upgrading of the entire domestic industry, resolving excess capacity and improving China's global competitiveness. However, at the same time, it is the due meaning of a capital power to let the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers also undertake the promotion of capital, accelerate the modernization process of agriculture, and generally feel the sunshine of wealth in rural areas. China's new normal growth, new forms of foreign investment, new starting point for the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers. This new starting point is full of opportunities and hopes.
