The rice policy promotes the first-stage rice rotation and the second-stage conversion to landscape crops to stabilize rice production and marketing.

At present, the area of rice cultivation in the first and second stages of rice fields in China is about 270000 hectares. Chen Jizhong, chairman of the Council of Agriculture, said in an interview after a press conference on the 24th that according to the estimates of the Agriculture and Food Administration, the rice fields must be reduced to about 250000 hectares in order to stabilize market supply and demand. therefore, the Council of Agriculture promotes measures such as "adjustment of rice farming industry in the first phase of water resources competition areas" and "implementation of rice field second-stage cropping into landscape crops", hoping to reduce the rice cropping area. Stabilize the production and marketing of rice grain.

The Council of Agriculture promotes the first phase of rice rotation.

Chuang Laoda, Deputy Director of Agriculture and Food, said that in order to make effective use of water resources and establish a regional farming system, the Ministry of Economic Affairs would provide water-saving incentives for areas including Shimen Reservoir, Baoshan Reservoir, Mingde Reservoir, Lei Yutan Reservoir, Zengwen Reservoir and Wushantou Reservoir to promote crop rotation.

Huang Zhaoxing, head of the Food Storage and Transportation Section of the Agriculture and Food Department, explained that when there is a shortage of water, it will not be able to notify rice farmers before buying seedlings, which will cause great trouble to farmers. by promoting crop rotation in water resources competitive areas, farmers can respond in advance. If it is fallow and planting "land green environment payment plan" reward crops or green manure other than rice cultivation, landscape crops can receive 45000 yuan per hectare. The water-saving reward with the Ministry of Economic Affairs is 42000 yuan, totaling 87000 yuan.

Chen Yan-ching, director of the Taiwan Rice cultivation Association, for example, once ordered a lot of rice seedlings from the south that year, but there was a shortage of water that year. This year, it was originally expected that the Hsinchu area would be short of water, so there were fewer seedlings prepared. As a result, there was no shortage of water after a rain, resulting in a shortage of seedlings. It is hoped that the promotion of the policy will enable farmers to evaluate whether to grow rice in advance.

The Council of Agriculture encourages the second phase of crop conversion to landscape crops.

In addition to promoting the first phase of crop rotation, the Council of Agriculture also promotes the second phase of rice field cropping to be converted into landscape crops. Chuang Laoda says that this year, the second phase will be conducted on a trial basis in Taichung City, Changhua County, Yunlin County, Chiayi County, and Tainan City, and will be given a reward for the conversion of landscape crops from 45000 yuan per hectare to 55000 yuan per hectare, hoping to create a rural landscape and drive the tide of rural tourists. Huang Zhaoxing said that it is hoped that the second phase will be converted into landscape crops of up to 10,000 hectares.
