Since the 18th National Congress, the "six new" of the good situation of China's agricultural and rural economy

Han Changfu pointed out that since the 18th National Congress, the good situation of the agricultural and rural economy has summarized "six new".

The grain production capacity has reached a new level and has stabilized at more than 1.2 trillion jin for four consecutive years. We will always put the protection of food security and the effective supply of important agricultural products in the first place, vigorously implement the strategy of “grass grain in the land, and store grain in technology”, mobilize the local peasants to focus on grain and farmers' enthusiasm for farming, and promote grain production at a high starting point. Take a new step. China uses less than one-tenth of the world's arable land to produce a quarter of the world's food, and feeds nearly one-fifth of the world's population. This is a major contribution to world food security. The great development of agriculture has enriched the “rice bag”, “vegetable basket”, “fruit plate” and “milk bottle” of urban and rural residents, and achieved “China on the tip of the tongue”.

Second, the structural reform of the rural supply side has opened up a new situation, and the quality and efficiency of the supply system have improved significantly. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that promoting the structural reform of the supply side of agriculture is the main direction of China's agricultural policy reform and improvement in the current and future period. The Ministry of Agriculture adheres to the market demand-oriented and deepens reform as the driving force, and strives to adjust and optimize the agricultural structure. Now the production structure is smoother, the industrial structure is better, and the regional structure is more reasonable.

Third, modern agriculture has taken new steps and the level of material technology and equipment has increased significantly. The level of agricultural mechanization, the level of science and technology, the level of improved seeds, the level of scale, and the level of facilities have all increased significantly.

Fourth, the rural reform has begun a new layout, and the "four beams and eight pillars" have been basically established. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, important documents such as the separation of land and power, the reform of collective property rights system, the development of moderate scale management, and the reform of agricultural land have been issued. The framework of the “four beams and eight pillars” of rural reform has basically been established.

Fifth, new progress has been made in the green development of agriculture, and the issue of outstanding resources and environment has been initially contained. The Ministry of Agriculture promoted the green production model, resolutely cracked down on the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution, initiated the implementation of livestock and poultry manure control, fruit and vegetable tea organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer, straw treatment in Northeast China, aquatic life protection focusing on the Yangtze River, and agricultural film recycling. Five major actions for agricultural green development. The intensity of agricultural resource use has fallen, and the trend of aggravation of agricultural non-point source pollution has slowed down, agriculture is turning green, and rural areas are becoming beautiful.

Sixth, the peasants' income has been upgraded and their living standards have improved markedly. In these years, farmers’ income has grown rapidly. In 2016, the per capita disposable income of farmers exceeded 12,000 yuan. In the past four years, the average annual growth rate was 8%, with an average annual increase of nearly 1,000 yuan. In the first half of this year, farmers' income continued to maintain a good growth momentum. The income gap between urban and rural areas continued to shrink, and the growth rate of farmers' incomes outperformed urban residents in successive years. The ratio of urban and rural residents' income in 2016 was 2.72:1, a decrease of 0.16 from 2012. Farmers in poverty-stricken areas have increased their incomes faster, with an average annual growth rate of more than 10%, which is consistently higher than the national average. The average annual poverty reduction population exceeds 13 million.
