Major changes in agricultural subsidies in 2016

The Circular on adjusting and improving policies related to Comprehensive Agricultural Development and supporting the Development of Agricultural industrialization issued by the State Office of Comprehensive Agricultural Development explains the changes in agricultural subsidies in 2016. Among them, what are the changes in the application for agricultural subsidies? What is good for the main body of agricultural management? What about the specific policies of various localities? Let's take a look at it.

Change 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 large professional households, family farms, and social service organizations identified or registered by relevant departments, can all be included in the scope of support for industrialized management projects and are no longer restricted by the qualification conditions of independent legal persons.

Interpretation: the threshold for the application of subsidy for farmers has been further relaxed. For example, it doesn't matter if you don't register with the industry and commerce department, as long as you register with the relevant department. 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.

Change 2: applicants do not have to make profits for two years in a row.

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 of sustainable management, 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.

Change 3: farmers can also hold shares in the investment of financial funds.

This time the policy is clear: encourage some financial funds to be invested, and farmers or farmers hold shares in leading enterprises through cooperatives.

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.

Change 4: encourage provinces to implement funds "build first and then make up"

The new policy proposes that all provinces can implement "build first and then make up". 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 institution.

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.

Agricultural industrialization projects are generally organized, managed and implemented by the agricultural (agricultural economic) departments of each city and county or relevant units at the provincial level, and the agricultural departments of each province (city, district) do a good job of supervision and inspection.
