Cultivate a team of high-quality agricultural professional managers

Agricultural professional managers belong to a new type of business-oriented professional farmers, which refers to the resources and capital needed to operate and control agricultural production and operation, while seeking maximum economic benefits for farmers' cooperatives, agricultural enterprises or owners, agricultural skilled personnel who receive commissions or dividends. They are not only familiar with agriculture, but also understand operation and good management, have higher professional accomplishment, are "white-collar workers" in the new type of professional farmers, and are playing a more and more important role in agricultural management.

The development of urban modern agriculture needs a large number of high-quality agricultural professional managers.

In order to improve agricultural labor productivity and competitiveness of agricultural products, solve the problem of quality and safety of agricultural products, and promote the leapfrog development of urban modern agriculture, we must cultivate a large number of professional farmers who love rural areas and focus on agriculture while reducing farmers. In recent years, in the process of promoting the construction of comprehensive urban and rural reform experimental areas and the country's first modern agricultural demonstration areas, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, is trying to change farmers from an identity into a profession through a series of institutional innovations. and regard agricultural professional managers as the focus of the construction of professional farmers, and guide and support agricultural professional managers from the aspects of environment, system, policy and so on. The improvement of its production skills and management ability has attracted a number of agricultural successors with high comprehensive quality, strong production and management ability and obvious main role to engage in agricultural production and management. it has effectively solved the practical problems such as "who will farm", "who will grow grain", "who will serve", especially the lack of management talents in new operators such as land joint-stock cooperatives. It has laid a solid foundation for promoting the development of specialized, standardized, large-scale and intensive urban modern agriculture.

The main methods of cultivating Agricultural Professional managers in Chengdu

In recent years, Chengdu mainly starts with the establishment of training and recognition management, exchange and employment mechanism, formulation and implementation of support policies, and carries out the training of agricultural professional managers.

The first is to strengthen the financial guarantee and build the training mechanism of agricultural professional managers. In order to ensure the smooth development of the training of agricultural professional managers, the city has included training funds into the financial budget every year, reaching 7 million yuan in 2014. The training program for agricultural professional managers is jointly formulated by the Municipal Committee of Agriculture, the Municipal people's Bureau and the Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology, and more than 2500 new agricultural professional managers are trained every year. By combining voluntary registration with the recommendation of township and county agricultural development bureaus, personnel who meet the training requirements and are willing to engage in modern agriculture should be included in the training program. Relying on agriculture-related colleges and universities, agricultural broadcasting schools, and some secondary vocational and technical schools, we focus on the moderate scale operation needs of land joint-stock cooperatives and leading agricultural enterprises, and highlight the pertinence, effectiveness and practicability of training. At the same time, every year, some excellent agricultural professional managers are selected to participate in promotion training in domestic key agricultural universities to further improve the quality of professional managers.

The second is to strictly identify and manage to ensure the training quality of agricultural professional managers. The regulations on the Evaluation and Management of Agricultural Professional managers in Chengdu were issued to clarify the evaluation conditions and procedures of agricultural professional managers. To establish an evaluation committee for agricultural professional managers, to be responsible for identifying agricultural professional managers, and to issue Chengdu Agricultural Professional Manager Certificate to those who meet the evaluation conditions. Agricultural professional managers are recognized once a year, and the qualification certificate is valid for two years, which is linked to financial support, social security, financial loans and other relevant support policies.

The third is to introduce support policies to increase the attractiveness of agricultural professional managers. For agricultural professional managers who newly set up and lead farmers' cooperatives, facility agricultural production bases, grain scale bases and the purchase of agricultural machinery and tools, the relevant subsidies will be increased by 10% under the same conditions; agricultural professional managers will be supported to participate in the old-age insurance for urban workers, and the 20% payment base payable by individuals shall be subsidized by financial subsidies of 12% and only 8% by individuals, with a total subsidy of 8.91 million yuan from January to August 2014. At the same time, we will explore the establishment of risk compensation funds to support agricultural professional managers to make credit loans on the basis of qualifications, with a maximum loan line of 300000 yuan, so as to solve the problem of "financing difficulties."

The fourth is to establish an information platform to promote the flow of agricultural professional managers. Relying on grass-roots agricultural comprehensive service stations, county-level agricultural technology extension centers, and agricultural education and training institutions, an information platform for human resources of agricultural professional managers will be established to dynamically manage the training, evaluation, expertise and employment of agricultural professional managers, and to disclose them in time to land joint-stock cooperatives, farmers' special cooperative organizations, agricultural leading enterprises and other business entities. At the same time, priority recommendation and open competition should be adopted to encourage agricultural professional managers to employ and move freely in the whole city without regional restrictions, and optimize the allocation and use of agricultural professional managers' human resources through the market mechanism.

Fifth, improve the assessment mechanism and improve the service quality of agricultural professional managers. The assessment mechanism shall be established by the Municipal Committee of Agriculture, the Municipal Bureau of people's Society and the Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology, and the service object and the local Bureau of Agricultural Development will assess the professional accomplishment and performance of agricultural professional managers every year. Those who are qualified in the assessment will be included in the management of agricultural professional managers' human resources information platform and will be evaluated in good faith, and those who fail in the assessment will not enjoy the relevant support policies. Those who fail in the assessment mainly due to technical problems can be re-incorporated into the training and selection work plan, and those with outstanding work performance can be commended. At the same time, we should implement the dynamic management of agricultural professional managers, establish the withdrawal mechanism of agricultural professional managers, and cancel the qualification of agricultural professional managers who are unqualified in the examination or who have not been on duty for two years in a row.

The sixth is to set up associations to create a good environment for the development of agricultural professional managers. After the team of agricultural professional managers has developed to a certain number, the municipal party committee and municipal government timely support the establishment of an agricultural professional managers' association. On the basis of giving full play to the association's "backbone role" in promoting scale operation, serving the agricultural industry as a "link" and connecting the target market as a "bridge". From the aspects of organizational planning, organization establishment, standardized management, business development, project implementation, capital arrangement, and so on, a series of measures have been issued to help agriculture-related associations speed up their development. while strengthening the self-discipline, resource integration and group development of the agricultural industry, it has effectively promoted the strength and brand of agricultural professional managers.
