Subsidies and preferential policies for agricultural cooperatives in 2016

The state encourages the development of cooperative economy in rural areas, supports the development of large-scale, professional and modern operation, allows financial project funds to be directly invested in qualified cooperatives, allows assets formed by financial subsidies to be transferred to cooperatives for holding and management, and allows cooperatives to carry out credit cooperation. let's take a look at the subsidies and preferential policies of agricultural cooperatives in 2016.

Policy adjustment of agricultural cooperatives in 2016

1. Large agricultural households can also apply for projects that are no longer required to be independent legal persons: the new policy stipulates that new types of agricultural operators, such as professional large households, family farms, and social service organizations identified or registered by relevant departments, can be included in the scope of support for industrial management projects and are no longer restricted by the qualifications of independent legal persons. The threshold for applying for subsidy for farmers has been further relaxed, for example, it does not matter if you do not register with the industry and commerce department, as long as you register with the relevant departments. Large agricultural households and family farms can apply for projects, and the state will give more and more support to new types of agricultural operators.

2. Applicants do not have to make "two consecutive years of profits": for farmers' cooperatives and leading enterprises, as long as they are registered in the industrial and commercial sector for more than one year and have the ability to operate sustainably, they can apply for industrialized management projects. But in the past, many people reported that it was really troublesome to prepare materials. This time, the policy stipulates that the declaration materials will cancel the provisions of "more than 70% from the place where the enterprise is registered, two consecutive years of profits, asset-liability ratio, bank credit rating,"three no arrears", net fixed assets, and so on. In other words, the application materials are simpler, and agricultural operators can spare more energy to make the project refined and solid.

3. Farmers can also hold shares in the investment of financial funds: encourage some financial funds to be invested by farmers or farmers through cooperatives to hold shares in leading enterprises. Generally speaking, the national agricultural industrialization management is in the organizational form of "leading enterprises + farmers" and "leading enterprises + professional cooperative economic organizations + farmers" and so on. Now farmers and enterprises are one, but the roles of shareholding and non-shareholding are very different. If farmers can hold shares in the invested funds, it means that they can enjoy dividends. If the enterprise is well run and the farmers can earn both wages and dividends, the income will certainly be much better than just working for the enterprise.

4. Encourage provinces to implement funds "build first and then supplement": the new policy proposes that provinces can implement "build first and then supplement". After the project is approved, the project will be implemented first, and the account will be reported after the project has been completed and has been checked and accepted by the financial department at the county level and the agricultural development agency. Agricultural economic organizations do not have to wait for money to build again, they can start project construction after the application is successful, as long as they keep all kinds of bills and make up for them when the project is settled. However, the preliminary expenses such as feasibility study, preliminary design and environmental assessment of the project cannot be reported.

Preferential policies for Agricultural Cooperatives in 2016

1. Preferential tax policies: the sale of agricultural products produced by its members to specialized farmers' cooperatives shall be regarded as agricultural producers selling their own agricultural products and shall be exempted from value-added tax. Tax-free agricultural products purchased by general taxpayers from farmers' professional cooperatives may be deducted for VAT input tax at a deduction rate of 13%. Agricultural films, seeds, seedlings, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and agricultural machinery sold by farmers' specialized cooperatives to their members shall be exempted from value-added tax. The contracts for the purchase and sale of agricultural products and agricultural means of production signed between farmers' specialized cooperatives and their members shall be exempted from stamp duty.

2. Financial support policy: bring all farmers' professional cooperatives into the scope of rural credit evaluation. We will increase credit support, focusing on supporting farmers' professional cooperatives with a solid industrial foundation, large scale of operation, high brand effect, strong service ability, driving many farmers, good standard management and good credit record. We will support and encourage rural cooperative financial institutions to innovate financial products and improve their services. Encourage qualified farmers' specialized cooperatives to develop credit cooperation.

3. Financial support policies: from 2003 to 2010, the central government allocated a total of more than 1.8 billion yuan in special funds, which were mainly used to support farmers' specialized cooperatives to enhance their service function and self-development capacity. The special financial subsidy for the purchase of agricultural machinery gives priority to farmers' specialized cooperatives.

4. Agriculture-related project support policy: in 2010, the Ministry of Agriculture and other seven ministries decided to include farmers' professional cooperatives in the scope of declaration for agriculture-related projects suitable for farmers' specialized cooperatives. If farmers' specialized cooperatives have not yet been clearly included in the scope of declaration, they shall be included as soon as possible and the declaration conditions shall be clearly defined. For new agriculture-related projects in the future, as long as they are suitable for farmers' specialized cooperatives, they should be included in the scope of declaration and the declaration conditions should be clearly defined. At present, the establishment of a vegetable horticultural crop standard park of the Ministry of Agriculture, large-scale livestock and poultry breeding farms (residential areas), the establishment of a demonstration farm for healthy aquaculture, a new round of "vegetable basket" project, the creation of high grain production, standardized demonstration projects, national agricultural comprehensive development projects and other related agriculture-related projects, have begun to entrust qualified farmers' professional cooperatives to undertake.

5. Agricultural product circulation policy: encourage and guide cooperatives to link up with urban large chain supermarkets, university canteens, agricultural production enterprises and other market entities.

6. Talent support policy: since 2011, we have organized and implemented a modern agricultural talent support program to train 1500 cooperative leaders every year. We will continue to incorporate the training of farmers' professional cooperatives into the "Sunshine Project", focusing on the training of cooperative leaders, financial and accounting personnel and grass-roots cooperative counselors. College student village officials are encouraged to participate in and lead the running of cooperatives.
