The ownership, contract right and management right of rural collective land will be the "three rights".

Beijing, October 18 (Reporter Shen Jingwen) according to the News and newspaper Abstracts of China Voice, recently, the central government examined and adopted the "opinions on guiding the orderly transfer of rural land management rights to develop appropriate scale operation of agriculture." In view of the circulation and scale operation of rural land management rights, the "opinion" proposes the separation of rural collective land ownership, contract rights and management rights, so as to further deepen the reform of the rural land system.

Han Changfu, Minister of Agriculture, said that in most areas, the conditions for the separation of contracting rights and management rights have been basically ripe.

Han Changfu: at the beginning of the land contract reform, ownership and contracting rights were separated, which not only aroused the enthusiasm of farmers, but also ensured that the collective ownership of land remained unchanged. On this basis, we should further promote the separation of land contractual management rights, implement the "separation of ownership, contracting rights and management rights" of rural land, and transfer land management rights in an orderly manner, which enlivenes the right of land management and protects the rights of contracted farmers.

Compared with the rural land system in the past, the "opinion" focuses on forming the pattern of the transfer of land management rights through the "separation of rights". Only through the orderly circulation of land can moderate scale operation be formed, and only through scale operation and changing the situation of "one mu and three mu of land per household" in the past, can the comparative benefit of land cultivation be significantly improved. Han Changfu stressed that institutional change must be carried out smoothly.

Han Changfu: we should not only promote the circulation of land, but also guide it to circulate in an orderly manner; we should not only develop large-scale operation, but also guide it to an appropriate scale; we should not only cultivate new business entities, but also continue to support contracted farmers who manage their own arable land; we should not only encourage industrial and commercial enterprises to invest in agriculture, but also prevent the crowding-out effect on farmers' employment and income, and prevent the non-grain conversion of land, especially non-agriculturalization. In the final analysis, to promote land transfer and develop large-scale operation, we need to solve both agricultural and peasant problems.

For the "scale" of "scale operation", the "opinion" makes a clear definition, and gives key support to those whose land management scale is equivalent to 10-15 times the area of land contracted by local households, or about 100 mu. In addition, as an important guarantee of land contracting rights, the "opinion" points out that it is necessary to pay close attention to the registration and certification of contracted land rights, properly solve such problems as the inaccurate and unclear area of land contracted by farmers, and improve the contract cooperation. improve the registration book, issue ownership certificates, and strengthen the protection of the real right of land contractual management. In response to the problem of industrial and commercial enterprises entering agriculture, which is widely concerned by the society, the "opinion" reiterates that, on the one hand, industrial and commercial capital is encouraged to develop modern agriculture suitable for enterprise management, and on the other hand, we will strengthen supervision and risk prevention over industrial and commercial enterprises leasing land contracted by farmers. Data show that by the end of June 2014, the transferred area of cultivated land contracted by households across the country was 380 million mu, accounting for 28.8% of the total household contracted cultivated land, an increase of 20 percentage points over the end of 2008.
