A strong country must first strengthen agriculture, and a strong agriculture can strengthen the country.
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made an overall plan for agricultural and rural work when drawing up a grand blueprint for building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, and clearly put forward to comprehensively promote rural revitalization.
The Central Economic Work Conference stressed that it is necessary to comprehensively promote rural revitalization and resolutely prevent large-scale return to poverty. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the Central Rural Work Conference: "We should make full efforts to do a good job in rural revitalization ‘ Agriculture, countryside and farmers ’ All work, vigorously promote the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, and work hard to accelerate the construction of an agricultural power. "
The grand blueprint is inspiring, and the sound of the horn is inspiring.
"Good policies make our farmers feel warm." On January 3rd, just after the New Year holiday, Zhao Menghui, a large grain grower in Renze District, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, came to the field to see the situation of wheat seedlings. "This year, we are going to add several plant protection drones and large harvesters to expand the scale of operation and increase grain production capacity." Zhao Menghui said.
"The key to comprehensively promoting rural revitalization is to do it." Early in the year, wei li, secretary of the Party Committee of Gengche Town, Sucheng District, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, was busy selecting the site for the deep processing project of agricultural products. "In the new year, we must strive to make the rural construction livable, suitable and beautiful, and let the villagers’ lives flourish."
New journey, new struggle. All localities and departments have fully implemented the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, the Central Economic Work Conference and the Central Rural Work Conference, adopted more powerful measures, gathered more powerful forces, comprehensively promoted rural revitalization, and rolled up their sleeves to work hard.
Stable production and supply guarantee provide solid support for ensuring economic and social development.
At present, the foundation of China’s economic recovery is still not solid, and the triple pressures of demand contraction, supply shock and expected weakening are still relatively large. The more we face the risk challenge, the more we should play the role of "ballast stone" of "agriculture, countryside and farmers".
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "ensuring the stable and safe supply of grain and important agricultural products has always been the top priority in building an agricultural power" and "always doing a good job in agricultural production based on itself and responding to the uncertainty of the external environment with the certainty of stable domestic production and supply".
Bearing in mind the general secretary’s earnest entrustment, all localities and departments acted resolutely.
— — Store grain in the ground, store grain in technology, and consolidate the foundation of food security in all directions.
The construction site of Laowangpo high-standard farmland in Xiping County, Henan Province is in full swing, and excavators and muck trucks are rushing around. "When the weather is fine, hurry up and do it, and the high-standard farmland will be built, and the harvest will be even more sufficient." Liu Weisong, director of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Xiping County, said.
Woye Tianchou, continue to plant winter pipes in winter, upgrade farmland water conservancy, prepare for farming in spring, and become busy in winter. Store grain in the ground, store grain in technology, and stabilize the foundation of granaries in big countries. The contribution rate of China’s agricultural science and technology progress exceeds 62%, the comprehensive mechanization level of main crops cultivation and harvest exceeds 72%, and 1 billion mu of high-standard farmland guarantees more than 1 trillion Jin of grain production capacity. In 2022, the national grain production overcame difficulties such as extreme weather, rising prices of agricultural materials and epidemic situation, and achieved a bumper harvest against the trend and increased production at a high level, with a total output of 1,373.1 billion Jin, an increase of 7.4 billion Jin over the previous year.
Firmly grasp the initiative of food security and pay close attention to food production every year. According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, it is necessary to earnestly shoulder the major political responsibility of ensuring the stable and safe supply of grain and important agricultural products, consolidate the responsibility of the party and government in the whole process, increase policy support in full coverage, and make up the shortcomings of resources, technology and equipment with all factors, promote the green transformation of production methods in the whole field, promote the upgrading and transformation of the grain industry in the whole chain, consolidate the foundation of food security in an all-round way, and truly rely on our own strength to end the rice bowl.
— — Through production and marketing, integrate agricultural and cultural tourism, and promote the upgrading of the whole chain of rural industries.
In the cold winter, machines roared in the processing workshop of Jinhe Rice Company in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, and boxes of processed "Mudanjiang Rice" were loaded and delivered. "We integrate production and sales. Last year, we planted 2,000 mu of organic rice and processed and sold 7,000 tons of brand rice, which was very popular in the market." Zhang Liguo, chairman of the company, said.
Xu Longyi, deputy director of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Mudanjiang City, introduced that the certified area of green organic food and the total number of products in the city have expanded to 5.32 million mu and 220 respectively. "The next step will continue to make a fuss about developing agriculture with quality and strengthening agriculture with brands, and promote agriculture to move towards high quality and efficiency."
The whole link is upgraded, the whole value is promoted, and the whole industry is integrated. There are 112 industrial clusters with an output value exceeding 10 billion yuan and 174 towns with an output value exceeding 1 billion yuan. Strengthening the leader, supplementing the chain, promoting the format and building the brand, the structural reform of China’s agricultural supply side has been further promoted, and the cumulative number of green, organic and geographical indication agricultural products has reached 62,000. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs proposes that by 2025, the operating income of China’s agricultural product processing industry will reach 32 trillion yuan, and the ratio of agricultural product processing industry to total agricultural output value will reach 2.8∶1.
In-depth implementation of rural construction actions, so that rural areas basically have modern living conditions.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "coordinating the layout of rural infrastructure and public services, building a livable and beautiful countryside" and "improving the completeness of rural infrastructure, the convenience of public services and the comfort of human settlements, so that farmers can live a modern and civilized life on the spot".
All localities and departments aim at the goal of "rural areas basically have modern living conditions" and carry out rural construction actions in depth.
— — Infrastructure and public services will be extended to promote investment and benefit people’s livelihood.
Lining the drainage canal and paving the hardened road, nearly 100 migrant workers worked hard at the construction site of the work-for-relief project in Beixi Town, Sanyuan County, Shaanxi Province. "Absorb villagers to participate in the construction of engineering projects, improve infrastructure and increase the income of migrant workers, killing two birds with one stone!" Feng Li, director of the Development and Reform Bureau of Sanyuan County, said that the county will continue to focus on the construction of public infrastructure in rural areas, implement work-for-poverty projects in dry belt areas, and lay industrial roads. From 2021 to September 2022, more than 5,000 work-for-relief projects were implemented nationwide, which stimulated the central government to invest 14 billion yuan and drove more than 300,000 rural low-income people to find jobs at home.
Infrastructure will be upgraded and public services will be upgraded and expanded.
Early in the morning, Jia Fenghua, a villager from Lianchi Village, Qingniu Town, Zhaohua District, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, came to the convenience service agency station to go through the formalities for examination and approval of farm water use. "It took less than 10 minutes to upload and review the information, saving time and trouble!"
Nowadays, in Zhaohua District, more than 95% of people’s livelihood matters can be handled without leaving the village. Ye Lincheng, the executive deputy head of the district, said that the next step will be to fully cover and upgrade the convenience service center, and build a service circle within 5 kilometers, so that villagers can enjoy more high-quality public services at their doorsteps.
In order to let farmers live a modern civilized life on the spot, all localities and departments have made great efforts to improve the completeness of rural infrastructure, the convenience of public services and the comfort of human settlements. All the qualified villages in the country have access to hardened roads, buses and postal roads. All 2895 counties have basically balanced compulsory education, and over 90% have achieved telemedicine coverage, making it more convenient for villagers to travel, see a doctor, go to school and do things. More than 95% of villages in China have carried out clean-up operations, and more than 50,000 beautiful and livable typical demonstration villages have been built in various places based on reality.
Xu Jianmin, director of the Comprehensive Department of the National Rural Revitalization Bureau, said that the next step will be to promote rural construction in a solid and steady manner, and build livable and suitable businesses and beautiful villages with basically complete infrastructure, universal public services, beautiful and pleasant living environment, harmonious and orderly social governance, rich spirit and prosperous culture, so as to achieve an all-round improvement of the countryside from the outside to the inside, both in form and spirit.
"To expand domestic demand, stabilize investment and engage in construction, we can’t just focus on cities and towns. There are still many debts in rural areas, and there is a lot of investment space. " Gao Qiang, director of the Rural Policy Research Center of Nanjing Forestry University, said: to build a livable, suitable and beautiful countryside, we should continue to focus on the rural areas in public infrastructure construction, and continue to exert our efforts in promoting the equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas, so as to build the countryside into a happy home for farmers to enjoy modern life.
— — Livable and suitable for business, the countryside has become a hot spot for the development of resource elements.
In the edible fungus production base in Pingshan Town, Sixian County, Anhui Province, rows of factory greenhouses are stepping up construction. "All the straw mushrooms we planted are exported. After the completion of these 96 greenhouses, more villagers will be led to increase their income and get rich." As a "new farmer" who returned to his hometown to start a business, Sun Sun, the head of the base, has driven nearly 100 villagers to find jobs at home.
All localities and departments should increase policy support to attract more talents to return to their hometowns and start businesses. 14.2 million migrant workers who have returned to their hometowns have stable employment, and 11.2 million innovative entrepreneurs have returned to their hometowns nationwide, which has driven the collection of resources such as capital and technology to the countryside and injected strong momentum into rural revitalization. In the next step, the relevant departments will carry out the demonstration and creation of national rural entrepreneurial innovation parks (bases), carry out in-depth training actions for rural entrepreneurial innovation leaders, and continuously expand the entrepreneurial innovation team returning to their hometowns.
"The countryside is livable and suitable for business, and farmers can advance and retreat between urban and rural areas. This is our room for manoeuvre and special advantage in coping with risk challenges, and we must continue to play well." Wei Houkai, director of the Institute of Rural Development of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that it is necessary to implement supporting policies to help solve worries, so that all kinds of talents can work and succeed in rural areas, thus adding impetus and vitality to rural development.
It not only swells the pockets but also enriches the brains, and grasps the key of increasing farmers’ income.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "making life rich is the central task of implementing the rural revitalization strategy" and "the construction of spiritual civilization in rural areas is the work of moistening, moralizing and rallying people’s hearts, and we should make continuous efforts and make full efforts".
All localities and departments have done everything possible to broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and become rich. The construction of spiritual civilization in rural areas has been carried out in a solid manner, and the pockets of villagers have become more and more bulging and energetic.
— — The results of poverty alleviation have been continuously consolidated, and the bottom line of not returning to poverty on a large scale has been maintained.
"Our family of three all work in Kedong Ranch of Feihe Dairy. The family earns 15,000 yuan a month, and there is still 20,000 yuan of land transfer income every year. This day is old and practical!" Jiang Yanhong, a poverty-stricken household in Furou Village, Runjin Township, Kedong County, Heilongjiang Province, lived a good life of "I didn’t even dare to think about it". Feihe Dairy has built the whole industrial chain of milk powder in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, and driven 150,000 farmers to increase their income and become rich through the model of "factory+pasture+cooperative+farmer".
Xu Jianmin said that due to the epidemic situation and other disasters, some areas once had problems such as the return of poverty-stricken laborers, the suspension of projects, the suspension of production of enterprises, and the slow sales of agricultural and sideline products. Through the joint efforts of all parties, these problems have been gradually solved. In 2022, more than 55% of the subsidy funds for rural revitalization will be used to support industrial development. Industry-driven, employment-driven and policy-driven, by the end of November 2022, 65.7% of the monitored objects had eliminated the risk of returning to poverty, and the rest had implemented assistance measures. There was no large-scale return to poverty in the country, and the number of migrant workers out of poverty reached 32.78 million, exceeding the annual target.
Consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation is the bottom line task of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. Xu Jianmin said that it is necessary to continue to compact the responsibility, link the poverty-stricken population with the poverty-stricken areas, and put measures in place to resolutely prevent the whole village from returning to poverty. Cultivate and upgrade industries, actively expand employment, enhance the endogenous development momentum of poverty-stricken areas and people, and continue to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation.
— — Farmers’ income has increased and their living standards have reached a new level.
"The e-commerce industry in the village is developing in full swing, and the villagers have bulging pockets. Many families have built new houses and drove cars." Wu Jun, secretary of the General Party Branch of the Labor Village in Huangchi Town, dangtu county, Anhui Province, said that in 2022, the collective operational income of the village exceeded 1.3 million yuan, and the per capita disposable income of the villagers reached 42,000 yuan. In 2022, the per capita disposable income of farmers in dangtu county was 35,200 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9%.
In agricultural and rural work, it is the key to increase farmers’ income. In the first three quarters of 2022, the per capita disposable income of rural residents nationwide was 14,600 yuan, a real increase of 4.3%, and the rural consumption potential was further released. The retail sales of rural consumer goods was 4,255.2 billion yuan, a growth rate of 0.2 percentage points faster than that of cities and towns.
"Increasing farmers’ income is not only related to people’s livelihood and well-being, but also to accelerating the construction of a new development pattern." Zhang Qi, director of the China Rural Revitalization and Development Research Center of Beijing Normal University, said that building a new development pattern and focusing on expanding domestic demand can also make great achievements in rural areas. Hundreds of millions of farmers are moving towards modernization at the same time, which can release huge consumption and investment demand.
Walking into Beishang Village, Jizhou District, Ji ‘an City, Jiangxi Province, concise and catchy propaganda slogans of changing customs can be seen everywhere. "Whether it is red or white, the ceremony is limited to two digits. We are no more civilized than face." The villager Zhong Ping gang said.
Yin Dongyu, secretary of the Jizhou District Party Committee, said that Jizhou will organize collective weddings and publicize new forms of civilized weddings and funerals, further consolidate the effect of changing customs and customs, and make the villagers’ spirits more and more full under the infiltration of civilized rural customs.
Looking at the whole country, all administrative villages have farmer’s bookstores, electronic reading rooms and cultural activity rooms, and farmers’ cultural life is rich and colorful. All localities vigorously cultivate civilized rural customs, good family customs and simple folk customs, and carry forward the new style of the times.
Unity is strength, and strive to create the future. This year is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Let us unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, adhere to the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, strengthen our confidence, make concerted efforts and work hard to create a new situation of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization.
