Keep the national food security lifeline

The General Office of the State Council recently issued the "Opinions on Preventing the De-graining" of Cultivated Land and Stabilizing Grain Production

"Non-grained" arable land appears in some areas

Q: What is the background of the opinions?

Answer: In recent years, China's agricultural structure has been continuously optimized, and grain harvests have been harvested year after year, which has provided solid support for stabilizing the overall situation of economic and social development

With the growth of China's population, the continuous upgrading of consumption structure and the tightening of resource and environmental carrying capacity, grain production and demand will still maintain a tight balance; this year's new crown pneumonia epidemic has increased the uncertainty of international agricultural product market supply

The use of cultivated land cannot be determined solely by economic benefits

Question: What are the requirements for the scientific and rational use of cultivated land resources?

Answer: The total amount of arable land in China is small, the quality is generally not high, and the reserve resources are insufficient

The opinions clarified the priority of arable land use

Let the grain farmers have sweetness and hope

Question: What are the considerations for mobilizing farmers' enthusiasm in growing grain?

Answer: According to the plan, we will adhere to multiple measures and multi-pronged approach to improve the comparative efficiency of grain growing, guarantee the basic income of farmers, and make grain farmers have the sweetness and hope

We will strengthen policy incentives for the main body of grain growing, and support family farms and farmer cooperatives to develop moderately large-scale grain operations

At the same time, vigorously promote socialized agricultural production services, such as substituting farming and planting, unified prevention and control, and land trusteeship, actively carry out experiments and demonstrations of mechanized technology for weak links in grain production, and strive to solve bottlenecks such as mechanical rice transplantation and corn grain harvesting, and speed up hilly and mountainous areas.

All regions have an obligation to ensure food security

Question: According to opinions, how to stabilize grain production in various places?

Answer: Our country’s basic national conditions with a large population and a small land area determine that a nationwide effort must be taken to solve the food problem of 1.

The opinion requires that the main grain producing areas should strive to give full play to their advantages, consolidate and improve the overall grain production capacity, and continue to contribute to the country; the production and sales balance area and the main sales area should maintain their due self-sufficiency rate to ensure that the grain planting area does not decrease and the production capacity is increased.

Resolutely stop the illegal behavior of industrial and commercial capital

Question: How to prevent large-scale circulation of industrial and commercial capital from farmland without growing grain?

Answer: According to the opinions, we will strengthen policy incentives, publicity and guidance, encourage and guide industrial and commercial capital to use its comparative advantages to engage in the breeding of improved varieties, grain processing and distribution, and specialized socialized services for grain production in rural areas, which are suitable for corporate management, high efficiency, and inconsistent.

At the same time, it will revise the management method for the transfer of rural land management rights, regulate the renting of farmland by industrial and commercial enterprises and other social capital, strengthen the standardized management of the transfer of land management rights, and prevent waste of farmland resources and damage to farmers' land rights

It is necessary to urge all localities to promptly establish and improve the land qualification review and project review system for the circulation of industrial and commercial capital in accordance with the law
