Beijing, 22 Dec (Renmin Ribao)-- the two-day central rural work conference closed in Beijing on 22 December. The meeting conscientiously implemented the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress, systematically summarized the achievements in agricultural and rural development in 2012 and the past 10 years, and made a profound analysis of the new situation and challenges facing the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". Focus on speeding up the development of modern agriculture, further enhancing the vitality of rural development, and making comprehensive arrangements for agricultural and rural work at present and for a period in the future.

The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to this meeting. Prior to the meeting, the meeting of the standing Committee of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the executive meeting of the State Council, and the meeting of the Central leading Group for Rural work specially studied the meeting documents and put forward clear requirements for agricultural and rural work.

The meeting discussed some opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on speeding up the development of modern agriculture and further enhancing the vitality of rural development (discussion draft). Vice Premier Hui Liangyu attended the meeting and delivered a speech.

The meeting pointed out that in 2012, the whole country conscientiously implemented the central policy decisions and arrangements, successfully fulfilled the objectives and tasks of agricultural and rural development, achieved "nine consecutive increases" in grain output, "nine consecutive increases" in farmers' income, and greatly improved people's livelihood in rural areas. it is the continuation and continuation of the gratifying situation of the development of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" since the 16th CPC National Congress. In the past 10 years, China's agricultural and rural development has overcome a variety of difficulties and risk challenges and ushered in another "golden period". The great practice of rural reform and development in the past 10 years has opened up a new era in the history of agricultural and rural development, initially explored a road of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics, and made important contributions to enriching and developing the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to accurately grasp the strategic arrangements for the development of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" at the 18th CPC National Congress. At present, the weakest link in China's modernization construction is still the lag of agricultural modernization, and the most prominent contradiction in the economic and social system is still the obvious obstacle to the dual system of urban and rural areas. the most serious restriction in the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way is still the excessive income gap between urban and rural areas and residents.

The meeting stressed the need to ensure national food security and the effective supply of important agricultural products. At present and for a period in the future, in the face of agricultural production entering a new stage of high cost, high risk, and tightening constraints on resources and environment, it is necessary to constantly increase agricultural input and enhance the comprehensive production capacity, disaster prevention and mitigation capacity, and sustainable development capacity of agriculture; it is necessary to constantly straighten out the prices of agricultural products so that farmers can get reasonable profits from growing grain and farming; and constantly increase agricultural subsidies to make it an effective policy tool for agricultural development.

The meeting stressed the need to actively innovate the system and mechanism of agricultural production and management. At present and for a period in the future, a new agricultural management system with the combination of intensification, specialization, organization and socialization should be built in accordance with the requirements of the 18th CPC National Congress. It is necessary to "keep a bottom line", that is, farmers' right to contracted management of land should be fully protected, and farmers' transfer of contracted land should not be restricted or forced. It is necessary to "grasp the two keys", that is, to focus on training new business entities, not only to guide ordinary farmers to improve the level of intensification and specialization, but also to support joint household management, professional large households, and family farms; efforts should be made to develop various forms of new farmers' cooperative organizations and multi-service subjects, so as to achieve effective docking with the market by improving the degree of organization.

The meeting stressed the need to strengthen the overall planning of urban and rural development. At present and for some time to come, it is necessary to further intensify efforts to promote the allocation of resource elements to rural areas, gradually narrow the development gap between urban and rural areas, and form a new type of industrial-agricultural relationship of promoting agriculture by industry, leading rural areas by cities, mutual benefit between workers and farmers, and integration of urban and rural areas. We will accelerate the equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas, promote the equal exchange of elements between urban and rural areas, promote the citizenization of the agricultural transferred population in an orderly manner, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of farmers.

The meeting stressed that efforts should be made to increase farmers' income in the "doubling of income." For some time to come, the income of farmers should at least keep pace with the income of urban residents, and strive to exceed it. It is necessary to strategically study and adopt comprehensive measures to create favorable environmental conditions, constantly open up employment channels and broaden income-increasing channels.

The meeting pointed out that next year is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress, and it is of special significance to continue to do a good job in the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers." The objectives and tasks of agricultural and rural work next year are: "ensuring supply, increasing income, benefiting the people's livelihood, and adding vitality to reform and innovation." this is to ensure another bumper harvest of grain and other important agricultural products, to ensure that the growth momentum of farmers' income does not weaken, and to continue to improve farmers' production and living conditions. we will further remove the institutional obstacles that restrict agricultural development and stimulate the vitality of rural development.
