What does the world think of China's "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" policy?

The Central Rural work Conference closed in Beijing a few days ago. The meeting made important arrangements for promoting modern agriculture, promoting agricultural industrialization, and rural reform, which aroused heated discussions among experts from many countries.

Many overseas experts believe that the latest policy of China's "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" is based on the latest national conditions and conforms to the general laws of modern agriculture, and will effectively benefit farmers, increase rural areas, and promote agricultural development to adapt to the "new normal" of China's economy.

The Central Rural work Conference proposed to vigorously develop agricultural industrialization and to introduce modern industrial organizations such as industrial chain and value chain into agriculture so as to promote the integration and interaction of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries.

In this regard, Guo Shengxiang, director of the Australian Institute of innovative Finance, pointed out that this shows that China wants to develop modern agriculture in the real sense. He said: in developed countries, agricultural industrialization is usually carried out at the same time as industrialization and science and technology. modern agriculture is a technology-intensive and talent-intensive industry, which will introduce a large number of secondary and tertiary industrial elements. it can be said that detailed division of labor and many links are its remarkable characteristics.

He expressed the hope that the signal sent by this meeting will help China establish two major ideas: first, agricultural modernization is the focus of comprehensive modernization and the key to leapfrogging the middle-income trap; second, agricultural modernization should be the modernization of capital, technology, talent and information.

The meeting proposed that it is necessary to integrate agriculture-related funds as a whole, innovate the mechanism of agricultural investment and financing, and improve the system of financial support for agriculture.

In this regard, Frederick Eriksson, director of the European Center for International political and Economic Research, said that from European experience, if the agricultural investment and financing system is not innovated, direct subsidies will hinder the overall innovation capability of the agricultural industry, limit the speed of upgrading labor skills, and reduce the sensitivity of domestic agriculture to global prices.

He pointed out that the EU Agricultural Fund is gradually tilting towards the improvement of intelligent agriculture and the training of new agricultural technical personnel, and the relevant experience can provide reference for China's reasonable investment in the agricultural field.

Frederick Gale, an economist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Institute of Economics, says how to ensure efficient financing for agriculture is an international problem. He pointed out that agriculture is a high-risk industry, and the United States is currently working to promote farmers to improve their ability to withstand risks by buying insurance products. If China wants to improve the financial support system for agriculture, improving the agricultural insurance system is a good starting point.

The meeting pointed out that there are various ways to develop moderate scale operation, and it is necessary to take measures in accordance with local conditions, give full play to the pioneering spirit of the grassroots and the masses, and allow "exploration, exploration, and re-exploration."

In this regard, Tavrovsky, a professor at the Russian people's Friendship University, said that this shows that China is open to exploration in areas such as guiding and standardizing the orderly transfer of land management rights. He pointed out that promoting land transfer can further promote the transfer of rural labor in China, provide a broad space for large-scale, intensive and efficient operation of agriculture, accelerate the integration of urban and rural areas, and promote the process of urbanization in China.

Eriksson believes that a reasonable transfer system of land rights and interests, as well as an investment and financing system in line with market laws, are all elements for the healthy development of the agricultural industry. He believes that China's agricultural policy is moving in the right direction, and believes that the latest policy will provide an important driving force for improving China's agricultural productivity and give farmers an incentive to invest in equipment and technology. to provide conditions for the modernization and intelligence of China's agriculture in the future.

The meeting proposed that it is necessary to make good use of two kinds of resources in the two markets. We will improve the system of international agricultural exchanges and cooperation and innovate ways of foreign agricultural cooperation.

In this regard, Guo Shengxiang believes that the meeting conveyed the idea of upgrading the level of China's agricultural cooperation and opening up to the outside world. He believes that if China wants to complete its transformation from a big agricultural country to a powerful country, it must keep up with the international advanced level and make good use of domestic and foreign resources conducive to China's agricultural development.

Guo Shengxiang pointed out that Sino-foreign agricultural cooperation should not be limited to trade, but should also be extended to the areas of technical cooperation, management innovation and investment and financing. He said, for example, that Chinese investment's involvement in overseas high-quality agricultural assets through equity cooperation can effectively promote the integration and exchange of Chinese and foreign agriculture and promote the integration of cross-border resource allocation. China can also make use of internal and external resources to complete the restoration of domestic agricultural productivity in a planned way and promote the formation of a resource-saving and environment-friendly agricultural model.

Tavrovsky said: China is a large country with a population of more than 1.3 billion, and the stability and development of agriculture is related to China's economic security. Solving the problem of agricultural development in accordance with the latest China's agricultural policy guidelines can lay a solid foundation for the sustained and healthy development of China's economy.
