Industrial poverty alleviation should also follow the market law

In order to promote industrial poverty alleviation, we must first clarify its economic attribute, adhere to the market orientation, follow the law of market and industrial development, and find out the combination of industrial projects and the income of poor households.

Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the people's Bank of China and other nine departments jointly issued the "guidance on developing characteristic Industries in Poverty-stricken areas to promote accurate Poverty Alleviation", sounding the clarion call for industrial poverty alleviation in the new era. According to the plan, to solve the problem of getting rid of poverty of more than half of the poor people in rural areas through industrial support can be said to be the highlight and main battlefield of poverty alleviation.

China's many years of experience in poverty alleviation has proved that industrial poverty alleviation is the fundamental means to solve the problem of survival and development, and the only way to get rid of poverty. Without industrial development, it is difficult to get rid of poverty, and poverty alleviation without industrial support is also difficult to sustain. Giving money and goods can only be an emergency to quench thirst, and only by setting up an industry can we open up the source of life. More than 30 million of the rural poor can be lifted out of poverty through industrial support, and there is a reliable guarantee to win the battle against poverty.

However, the reason for long-term poverty in poor areas is restricted by resources, talents, capital, market and many other factors, and the difficulty of industrial development can be imagined. In recent years, many places have accumulated successful experience of industrial poverty alleviation, but there are also many lessons. Together with the development of the same industry in a place, different models and methods will lead to different results.

In the poverty-stricken areas of the Dabie Mountains in Hubei Province, they also raise "poverty alleviation sheep." A few years ago, they chose the popular small-tailed Han sheep, but they did not accept the soil and water in the south, and they all died of illness in the hot weather. Now, native black goats are rarely sick, grow fast, and the price is good. Similarly, they still raise "poverty alleviation sheep" and distribute the lambs directly to poor households. some farmers can't raise them well, so they simply kill the sheep and sell them for money. Now, by supporting leading enterprises, we have established a five-in-one accurate poverty alleviation model of "government + finance + insurance + companies + poor households". Policies and banks provide discounted interest loans, and enterprises provide goats for poor households, and technical support throughout the process. Insurance covers the bottom of the net to achieve multi-win, in accordance with the industrial approach, natural and smooth development.

Therefore, in order to promote industrial poverty alleviation, we must first clarify its economic attributes, adhere to market orientation, follow the laws of market and industrial development, and reasonably determine the direction, focus and scale of industrial development in accordance with local conditions, so as to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of industrial development. In accordance with the resource endowments of various localities and the operating capacity of poor households and the needs of poverty alleviation, we should not blindly rush forward in disregard of reality and introduce industries that do not adapt to water and soil.

Industrial poverty alleviation should also fully reflect and highlight the connotation of "industry plus poverty alleviation", give full play to the leading role of industry in lifting poor households out of poverty and increasing income, ensure that poor households have long-term and stable income, and avoid helping farmers without poverty alleviation and industry without poverty. There is also experience to follow at the grass-roots level. Some localities have changed from "funds to households" to "benefits to households", providing aid-the-poor funds to cooperatives with strong driving capacity and good industrial foundation, and quantifying the conversion of funds into shares to poor households, so that these poor households with poor development ability can also enjoy share dividends. The "opinions" issued this time have further made it clear that a mechanism for linking interests between poor households and the main body of industrial development should be established through various forms, such as shareholding system, joint-stock cooperation system, land trusteeship, order assistance, and so on.

Industrial development in poor areas is inseparable from the leading, there is no leader, there is no market, there is no value chain. Therefore, in order to promote industrial poverty alleviation, we should pay attention to the leading role of new business entities. It is necessary to innovate the mechanism, encourage new business entities such as large farmers, farmers' cooperatives, and leading enterprises to establish stable driving relations with poor households, provide all-industrial chain services to poor households, and effectively improve the ability of industrial value-added and the ability to absorb poor labor force.

To accomplish the task of getting rid of poverty during the 13th five-year Plan period on schedule, we must exert the efforts of the whole society. Promoting industrial poverty alleviation is not a matter for one region or one department, and requires the cooperation of governments at all levels and all departments. Only by increasing the capital investment in industrial poverty alleviation, improving the support and guarantee system of finance, science and technology, and talents, and actively guiding all forces to participate in industrial poverty alleviation, can we truly achieve accurate poverty alleviation and uproot the poor.
