Han Changfu: Keeping farmers growing their incomes needs to do these four points.

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] The State Council Information Office held a press conference today, inviting Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu to introduce the progress of agricultural and rural work since the 18th National Congress. Han Changfu said that due to the impact of international agricultural product market prices, agricultural product prices have not increased much, farmers' operating income has not increased much; farmers' wages are also growing, but the growth rate has slowed down, and farmers' incomes have to be used as “three rural” jobs. The core task is to hold on.

In order to maintain a good momentum for farmers to increase their income, Han Changbin pointed out that the following four points need to be achieved:

To stabilize the fundamentals of family business income. Specifically, the first is to improve quality and efficiency, and to place green, ecological, and safe agricultural products in a prominent position. It is necessary to cultivate agricultural products brands so that good products can be sold at a good price. The second is the cost-effectiveness. The cost is to increase efficiency, increase income, to combine green development of agriculture, vigorously promote water-saving, fertilizer-saving, fertilizer-saving, fuel-saving technology, and reduce agricultural production materials, labor, circulation and other costs. The third is scale efficiency. It is necessary to guide the development of moderate-scale operations and increase the income of farmers by expanding the scale of production and operation.

Second, broaden the new channels for agricultural income increase, and explore the multi-functional value of agriculture , including cultivating new industries and new businesses such as leisure agriculture, rural tourism, creative agriculture, rural e-commerce, and migrant workers returning to their hometowns. Just now Director Han Jun This problem has been explained in more detail.

Third, give farmers more property rights. There are still many assets in the countryside that are in a state of sleep, and have not yet been converted into income of farmers. We must implement the reform measures of the rural collective property rights system deployed by the central government, expand the pilot reform of the collective property rights system, quantify these assets to the households, to the people, revitalize the rural assets, realize the resource change, the capital change, and the farmers become shareholders. Let more farmers enjoy the dividend of reform.

Fourth, we must promote the poverty alleviation of characteristic industries. Promoting the income increase of poor farmers is even more crucial. Although poor production areas have poorer production facilities, they have the advantage of less pollution from mountains and rivers. Therefore, poverty-stricken areas should develop characteristic industries according to local conditions, such as vegetables, fruits, tea, silkworms, edible fungi, Chinese herbal medicines, etc., through the development of characteristic industries to drive the poor to lift poverty and increase income. Through these measures, we still have the confidence and means to maintain the steady and steady growth of farmers' income. The goal is still "two above", which is to increase the income of farmers higher than GDP and higher than the income of urban residents.
