The “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization” puts forward clear requirements for promoting the common prosperity and development of urban and rural areas. What is the current supply situation of grain and important agricultural products in my country? How is the progress in consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation? How to promote self-reliance and self-reliance in high-level agricultural science and technology and strive to write a new chapter of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”? At a press conference on the theme of “Promoting High-Quality Development” held by the State Council Information Office on the 24th, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs responded to topics of public concern.
Take multiple measures to ensure a stable supply of food and important agricultural products
Since the beginning of summer, many places have Having encountered varying degrees of floods and droughts, how is the autumn grain production going?
According to Han Jun, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, this year’s summer grain harvest was bumper, with an increase of 7.25 billion kilograms. Autumn grain accounts for three-quarters of my country’s total grain output. According to the agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the area of autumn grain has increased steadily compared with the previous year, and the crop growth is generally normal. At present, the affected area of crops across the country is higher than last year, but the affected area has decreased by more than 6 million acres year-on-year.
Now is a critical period for flood control and drought relief, as well as for the formation of autumn grain crop yields. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will focus on preventing severe floods, fighting severe droughts, and relieving severe disasters, especially focusing on major production areas and major areas. This answer appeared in Lan Yuhua’s heart, and her heart suddenly became heavy. She had never cared about Caihuan before. She had no idea that in this disaster area, waterlogged farmland should be drained to reduce waterlogging; drought-stricken plots should be irrigated in a timely manner by widening water sources; plots with no harvest should be replanted according to local conditions. kind.
Han Jun said that it is necessary to speed up the recovery of agricultural production after the disaster, organize agricultural scientific and technological personnel to sink to the front line, and comrades from agricultural and rural departments at all levels to sink to the front line and enter villages. We must provide accurate and detailed guidance and services to ensure the harvest of autumn grains and year-round grains.
Rice, flour, oil, meat, eggs, and milk are closely related to people’s livelihood. Since the beginning of this year, meat, eggs, and milk have increased across the board.”In other words, it will take about half a year?” The supply of livestock products in the market is sufficient, but the overall price is running at a low level. How to stabilize the development of animal husbandry next?
Wang Lejun, chief livestock officer of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will regulate production capacity, strengthen early warning and guidance, provide relief and solve problems, prevent major epidemics, and improve industry level.
Among them, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will guide the main producing provinces to implement relief measures such as incremental purchase subsidies for fresh milk and powder spraying subsidies, and promote cost savings and increase establish an efficient breeding model; guide local governments to increase credit and insurance support for farmers. At the same time, we will vigorously promote the facility, organization, and industrialization of animal husbandry, extend the industrial chain, and increase the added value of products.
Continue to work hard to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation
This year is the transitional period after the war to win the fight against poverty “Mom, why are you laughing?” Pei Yi asked doubtfully. In the fourth year of 2020, how has the results of poverty alleviation been consolidated? What are the next steps?
Han Jun said that consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation is the foundation and prerequisite for rural revitalization, and it is also the bottom-line task for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. This work will run through rural revitalization. the whole process.
“Over the past three years, we have maintained assistance responsibilities, policy investment, regional collaboration, and the overall stability of the work system. We have made concerted efforts in all aspects and firmly maintained the The bottom line is to prevent a large-scale return to poverty. ” Han Jun said that in the first half of this year, the number of people who have been lifted out of poverty has reached 32.74 million, and the per capita disposable income of farmers in poverty-stricken counties continues to grow rapidly.
What should I do after the five-year transition period expires?
“Break-up assistance and development assistance for underdeveloped areas and low-income populations must be sustained for a long time, and must not be weakened in the slightest, but must be further strengthened. ” Han Jun said that early detection and early intervention should be achieved to eliminate the risk of returning to poverty.
” He said that as of the end of June this year, a total of 60.4% of the monitored subjects across the country had stably eliminated the risk of returning to poverty, and the rest had also implemented assistance measures. In the next step, we must promptly study the normalized mechanism to prevent the rural population from returning to poverty, establish a hierarchical and classified assistance system for rural low-income populations and underdeveloped areas, and continue to make efforts to strengthen industrial assistance andEmployment assistance, and efforts should be made to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation and effectively connect them with rural revitalization.
Go all out to promote self-reliance and self-reliance in high-level agricultural science and technology
To build a powerful agricultural country, science and technology are the weapon. How to accelerate agricultural science and technology innovation?
Han Jun introduced that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have made every effort to improve the conditions of agricultural science and technology equipment and facilities, and the level of agricultural modernization has continued to improve. The contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress exceeds 63%, and the three major staple foods have basically achieved full mechanization.
“In the new era and new journey, we must ensure the stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products for more than 1.4 billion people. There is only so much arable land, and we must stabilize and increase production. The fundamental solution lies in science and technology,” said Zhang Xingwang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. From a global perspective, a new round of agricultural science and technology revolution characterized by biotechnology and information technology is giving birth to major breakthroughs, and all countries are seizing the commanding heights. We must In accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, we will fully promote self-reliance and self-reliance in high-level agricultural science and technology.
Zhang Xingwang said that the next step is to highlight the overall efficiency of the system, highlight the industrial application orientation and focus on innovation, highlight the “last mile” to focus on transformation, and highlight the stimulation of power and vitality. Capture talents. Among them, in terms of highlighting the overall effectiveness of the system, my country’s agricultural scientific research institutions still exist to a certain extent in a situation of fragmentation, low-level duplication, and homogeneous competition.
“We are leveraging and promoting all types of innovation entities at all levels to take their respective positions, complement each other’s advantages, and work in the same direction through policy guidance, mechanism innovation, and assessment and evaluation. It is necessary to give full play to the advantages of the new national system, strive to improve overall efficiency, and solve major scientific and technological problems that restrict agricultural development,” Zhang Xingwang said. In terms of highlighting industrial application orientation and focusing on innovation, it is necessary to solve the “two skins” phenomenon of science and technology and economy and further improve scientific research. The accuracy and effectiveness should be particularly focused on the shortcomings and weaknesses urgently needed by industries such as high-oil and high-yielding soybean varieties, intelligent high-end agricultural machinery, etc., and all aspects of efforts should be concentrated to tackle the key problems.
