The Central Rural work Conference will deploy the work: the introduction of industrial chain value chain into agriculture

The Central Rural work Conference was held in Beijing from 22nd to 23rd. The meeting thoroughly implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches, fully implemented the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress, the third and fourth Plenary sessions of the 18th CPC Central Committee, and the Central Economic work Conference, and summed up agricultural and rural work in 2014. We will study major measures to promote agricultural modernization by relying on reform and innovation, and make comprehensive arrangements for agricultural and rural work next year and for some time to come.

The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to this central rural work conference, and the meeting of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the meeting of the standing Committee of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and the executive meeting of the State Council put forward clear requirements for doing a good job in agricultural and rural work next year. Li Keqiang, member of the standing Committee of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and premier of the State Council, attended the meeting and made an important speech.

The meeting stressed that with the changes in environmental conditions at home and abroad and the deep-seated contradictions accumulated by long-term extensive management, the challenges facing the sustained and stable development of agriculture are unprecedented.

At present, the price of major domestic agricultural products exceeds the import price, while the production cost is rising. The agricultural ecological environment is damaged, and cultivated land, fresh water and other resources are scarce.

The meeting pointed out that agricultural modernization is the foundation and support of national modernization, and it is still a "deficiency" at present, and the key and difficult points for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way are still in rural areas.

The meeting stressed that to promote agricultural modernization, we should persistently take ensuring national food security as the top priority, and ensure basic self-sufficiency in grain and absolute safety of food rations. We should innovate mechanisms, improve policies, and strive to do a good job in all kinds of work. First, vigorously develop agricultural industrialization. On the basis of stabilizing grain production, we should actively promote the adjustment of the agricultural structure, rely on the support of science and technology, change from "production-oriented" to "consumption-oriented", and from simply thinking about cultivated land to the whole land and resources. we will build a superior regional layout and professional production pattern, and speed up the integration of agriculture and animal husbandry. It is necessary to introduce modern industrial organization methods such as industrial chain and value chain into agriculture to promote the integration and interaction of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries.

The second is to actively develop various forms of moderate scale operation. It is necessary to guide and standardize the orderly transfer of land management rights, develop various new types of agricultural operators, give priority to grain and agriculture, avoid "non-grain", and resolutely prohibit the "non-agriculturalization" of cultivated land. There are various ways to develop moderate scale operation. We should adjust measures to local conditions, give full play to the pioneering spirit of the grassroots and the masses, and allow "exploration, exploration, and re-exploration." As long as it is in line with state laws and policies and the direction of reform, the peasant masses welcome it and should encourage and support it in any form.

The third is to build resource-saving and environment-friendly agriculture. Comprehensive measures should be adopted to reduce the excessive use of agricultural inputs, gradually withdraw from production that exceeds the carrying capacity of resources and environment, promote the transformation and utilization of agricultural wastes, promote the restoration and treatment of the damaged ecological environment, and strengthen the quality construction of cultivated land. Cultivated land and water resources are strictly protected.

The fourth is to increase agricultural policies and capital investment. No matter how tight the financial resources are, we must ensure that the investment in agriculture will only increase but not decrease. 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.

Fifth, make good use of two kinds of resources in two markets. We will improve the system of international agricultural exchanges and cooperation and innovate ways of foreign agricultural cooperation.

The meeting called for giving full play to the radiative and driving role of the new type of urbanization on agricultural modernization. Efforts should be made to solve the existing problem of "three 100 million people", innovate the way of using cities to lead rural areas and industry to promote agriculture, guide the flow of modern urban factors of production to agriculture and rural areas, and increase farmers' income through various channels.

The meeting discussed some opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on further deepening rural reform and accelerating agricultural modernization (discussion draft). (Xinhua News Agency)
