Agricultural "going out" requires more productivity and more influence.

Editor's note: in recent years, China has actively implemented the strategy of "going out" in agriculture, and the development of China's agriculture overseas has achieved great breakthroughs both in depth and breadth. From the petty fuss of "crossing the river by feeling the stones" to large-scale continuous development and "intensive cultivation", Chinese agriculture "going out" is carrying the fast train of China's economic development, taking root and blooming and bearing fruit in many countries and regions of the world. Chinese agriculture that "goes out" increases its cultivated area overseas and accumulates international competitiveness. A group of reports from the reclamation area published in this issue not only let us appreciate the advantages and strength of land reclamation as an agricultural national team, but also caused us to think about how to "go out" steadily and quickly in the future.

"going out" in agriculture is not a simple expedient measure, but a far-sighted national strategy.

Agricultural "going out" is not only to extend China's advanced agricultural productive forces overseas and produce more agricultural products, but also to expand China's influence in the field of international agriculture and increase its voice in the international trade of agricultural products.

Therefore, the "going out" of China's agriculture requires not only productivity but also influence.

In a broad sense, agricultural "going out" includes agricultural products export, agricultural foreign cooperation, agricultural foreign aid, agricultural direct investment and so on. In a narrow sense, agricultural "going out" means that Chinese enterprises, under the guidance of government policies, for the purpose of profit and cooperation, and on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, adopt various ways such as the export of capital, technology, products and labor services to make direct investment abroad and independently engage in legitimate agricultural production and management activities.

On the basis of the problem of food and clothing has been solved, how to bring the agricultural industry to a new level has become the key to the upgrading of China's agriculture.

The implementation of agricultural "going out" strategy is not only the requirement of the development of enterprises themselves, but also the need of the sustainable development of agriculture in our country. To solve the problem of sustainable development of agriculture, we need to comprehensively expand both domestic and foreign markets, and we need to make full use of both domestic and foreign resources, so as to seize the first opportunity in the highly competitive international trade of agricultural products.

After more than 30 years of development, China's agriculture has made great achievements and agricultural productivity has been greatly improved. China's agriculture has strong advantages in agricultural technology, crop management and funds, but land resources are relatively insufficient. On the other hand, many developing countries are rich in land resources, and Southeast Asia, Africa and other places have better climatic conditions, but they lack technology and funds, and have great potential for agricultural development.

Therefore, there is a strong complementarity between China and these countries and regions in the field of agricultural cooperation. Through "going out", China's agriculture can not only show China's strength and image, but also export advanced productive forces to the outside world, promote the improvement of the agricultural production level of the host country, and win a good reputation for China's agriculture to gain a foothold overseas and expand its influence.

In recent years, the transformation of China from a "manufacturing power" to a "manufacturing power" in the industrial field has impressed the world, and its achievements are obvious to all. This is also applicable to the agricultural industry that our country is "going out", because we should not only be a "big agricultural country", but also a "agricultural power".

Therefore, whether it is agricultural reclamation as a national agricultural team or various agricultural enterprises, in the process of "going out" in agriculture, they should not only bury themselves in farming and engage in production, but also establish a sense of competition and influence from the very beginning; at the same time of production and operation, it is all the more necessary to win the position in the international market pattern, strive for the trade initiative, and grasp the trading and pricing power of agricultural products.

Nowadays, the giants of European and American enterprises occupy a strong position in the field of international agriculture. As a big agricultural country, China must not lack the voice from China in this competition.

China's agriculture "going out" should not only go well, but also be strong; China's agriculture that "goes out" should not only export productive forces, but also win influence. This requires not only the top-level design from the country, but also the wisdom and vision of every trailblazer who "goes out".
