The Development Momentum Is Good! Look At The Agricultural And Rural Economic Report Card For The Fi

Spring plowing and sowing are in full swing across the country. In the first quarter, fixed asset investment in the country's primary industry increased by 15.9% year-on-year, and rural consumer goods retail sales increased by 3.1% year-on-year... At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on April 23, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Merdan Mugeti said when introducing the "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" situation in the first quarter, the agricultural and rural economy maintained a good momentum of development.

The growth and growth process of winter wheat have basically caught up with normal years, and the progress of spring sowing of grain has remained at the same level and slightly faster than the same period last year.

In the first quarter, my country's grain and oil production had a good foundation. Lu Xiutao, head of the Planting Industry Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that summer grain production accounts for a little more than 20% of the annual grain production and is the first season of the year's grain production. Judging from the situation of spring management, thanks to various measures to promote the transformation of weak seedlings into strong seedlings, and the generally favorable weather conditions last winter and this spring, the transformation of winter wheat seedlings continues to improve, and the current growth and fertility process have basically caught up with normal years. Judging from the progress of spring plowing, the progress of spring sowing is normal, and the intended area is generally stable. There is sufficient supply of chemical fertilizers for spring plowing, and domestic fertilizer prices are far lower than international prices.

The latest agricultural dispatch from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the area of ​​winter rapeseed is stable and growing well. The progress of spring grain sowing has exceeded 20%, which is slightly faster than the same period last year. Among them, early rice sowing has exceeded 80%, spring corn sowing has exceeded 10%, and spring soybean sowing has begun.

There are still about 40 days left before the summer grain harvest, and there are still many obstacles to pass, such as pests and diseases, lodging, dry and hot winds, and bad rain. Spring sowing will also enter its peak. Lu Xiutao said that spring management should be carried out accurately and meticulously, spring sowing should be carried out without missing the farming season, and disaster prevention and reduction should not be relaxed.

Our country has had bumper grain harvests year after year, and an important factor is the in-depth promotion of large-area yield increases. In 2025, the increase in unit yield will contribute more than 90% to the increase in national grain production. This year, my country will continue to implement the action to increase the yield of grain and oil crops in large areas. The number of counties promoting the consolidation system has increased from 702 to 1,000, and 20 cities promoting the consolidation system have been launched. The country will continue to promote the integration and efficiency improvement of good fields, seeds, opportunities and methods, and promote a balanced increase in production over a large area.

The good situation of agricultural production cannot be separated from the support of agricultural science and technology. my country's agricultural intelligentization and digital transformation are accelerating, and various intelligent equipment are playing a vital role in agricultural production. my country has more than 300,000 agricultural drones, ranking first in the world. Maidan Mugeti said that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, we will promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, give full play to the advantages of the new national system, continuously improve the overall efficiency of the agricultural science and technology innovation system, and accelerate the realization of high-level agricultural science and technology self-reliance.

The per capita disposable income of rural residents actually increased by 5.4% year-on-year.

"Since the beginning of this year, grain procurement prices have risen steadily, and the situation of farmers working outside the home and working nearby has been generally stable, which has promoted the steady growth of farmers' income." Xu Jianmin, director of the Assistance Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said.

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that in the first quarter, the per capita disposable income of rural residents actually increased by 5.4% year-on-year, 2.2 percentage points faster than that of urban residents, of which wage income and net operating income contributed more than 70% to the increase in income.

As an important source of income for farmers, rural industries that enrich the people have a good momentum of development. In the first quarter, the agricultural product processing industry made steady progress, and the added value of the agricultural and sideline food processing industry above designated size increased by 6.8% year-on-year. In March, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) of national key leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization was 58.1%, remaining in the expansion range above 50%, up 6.8 percentage points month-on-month and 3.8 percentage points year-on-year, indicating that the industry's prosperity level continues to improve.

The five-year transition period task of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation and effectively connecting rural revitalization has been successfully completed. This year is the first year of the shift to regular assistance. Xu Jianmin said, "The Party Central Committee has made comprehensive arrangements for the establishment of a normalized mechanism to prevent return to poverty. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with relevant departments, has formulated and issued a series of supporting policy documents to guide various localities to implement various work measures for normalized targeted assistance, continue to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation, and firmly hold the bottom line of preventing large-scale return to poverty." In the first quarter, an additional 10.13 billion yuan in micro-credit loans were issued to support the development of production of assistance recipients. The employment situation of the recipients of assistance is generally stable.

In March, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs publicly released a list of central government-funded policies to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers, including 16 subsidies such as farmland fertility protection subsidies, agricultural machinery purchase and application subsidies, and wheat "one spray and three prevention" subsidies. "We will work with relevant departments to implement the policy to the letter and transform the policy dividends into tangible income-increasing benefits for the farmers." Xu Jianmin said.

It is necessary to ensure that the original contracted land of the vast majority of farmers remains stable and can be extended smoothly.

Keeping the rural land contract relationship stable and unchanged for a long time, and extending the second round of land contract for another thirty years after expiration, is a major decision-making arrangement made by the Party Central Committee.

This year’s Central Government Document No. 1 clearly stated that the second round of land contracting will be fully implemented and extended for another thirty years after the expiration of the province-wide pilot project. On March 18, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council officially released the opinions on the pilot work of extending the second round of land contracts for another thirty years after the expiration of the second round, and made specific arrangements for this work.

Chen Bangxun, director of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, a total of 7 province-wide pilot projects and 221 county-wide pilot projects were carried out across the country, and more than 26 million farmers successfully signed extended contract contracts.

"To carry out the pilot project of contract extension, we must adhere to the principle of contract extension, adhere to 'major stability, minor adjustments', and standardize the contract extension procedure." Chen Bangxun said that conflicts and disputes in contract extension must be properly resolved, and a few special circumstances such as the contract land being damaged due to natural disasters and the general public must be dealt with Village groups that generally request land transfer can make "minor adjustments", but the premise is "major stability". It is necessary to ensure that the original contracted land of the vast majority of farmers remains stable and can be smoothly extended. They cannot reinvent the wheel, disrupt the redistribution, and cannot take the opportunity to illegally adjust or take back the contracted land of farmers.

The basic market of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" is stable! (quick review)

Observing the agricultural and rural economic report card in the first quarter of the "15th Five-Year Plan", it can be clearly seen that as the most stable ballast stone to support high-quality economic and social development, "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" continue to maintain a "stable" situation.

"Stability" is not only reflected in the stability of rice bags and abundant vegetable baskets, but also in the richer supply of rural cultural products and services, the accelerated improvement of shortcomings in rural modern living conditions, and the steady growth of agricultural investment and rural consumption, and the continued deepening of rural reform...

"Agriculture, rural areas and farmers" are improving, and the overall situation is proactive. At present, the external situation is more complex and changeable, the contradiction between strong domestic supply and weak demand is still prominent, and the foundation for economic improvement still needs to be consolidated. The more we respond to risks and challenges, the more important it is to stabilize the fundamentals of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. The “15th Five-Year Plan” outline proposes to “accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas” and “solidly promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.” In the first year of development, it is crucial to do a good job in “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. Anchoring the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, adhering to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, allowing rural development to continue to accumulate confidence and vitality, and steadily turn the "construction drawings" of the planning outline into a "real picture" of rural development.
