Focus on rural revitalization in 2022

CCTV News: On February 22, 2022, the 2022 Central No. 1 document “Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Doing a Good Job in Comprehensively Promoting the Key Work of Rural Revitalization in 2022” was officially released. The State Council Information Office held a press conference this morning (February 23), in which the heads of the Central Agricultural Office and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs interpreted the content of the No. 1 document and introduced the key tasks of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization in 2022.

At the press conference, Tang Renjian, director of the Central Agriculture Office and minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that my country’s food demand is still in a rigid growth trend, and the tight balance pattern is difficult to change in the short term. This year, we must rely on three major measures to ensure national food security.

One depends on the implementation of responsibility. The central government has made it clear that in the future, the main production areas, the main sales areas, and the production and sales balance areas will have the responsibility to maintain the area and output. To ensure that food is basically self-sufficient. The 2022 grain production target has been broken down and reached to the people’s governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

Tang Renjian, Director of the Central Agricultural Office, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: In the next step, we will fully implement the requirement of implementing the same responsibility of the Party and the government for food security, and will work with relevant departments to formulate and issue the assessment methods for the provincial party committee and government food security responsibility system as soon as possible, so as to compact the food security of the party committee and government. Safety Responsibility.

Tang Renjian said that the second is guaranteed by income. This year, we will promote and improve the guarantee mechanism for farmers’ income from growing grain, and strive to maintain policy capital and increase business efficiency. In terms of policy, the minimum purchase price of rice and wheat should be appropriately increased, and the subsidy policies for corn and soybean producers and rice subsidies should be stabilized, so as to achieve full cost insurance and planting income insurance for the three major grain crops. In terms of operation, focus on key weak links, vigorously develop agricultural social services, and drive small farmers to improve the comprehensive benefits of growing grains. Let grain farmers not suffer losses, make money, and benefit as much as possible.

Three rely on the foundation support. The key is to implement the strategy of storing grain in land and technology, and seize the two key points of seeds and cultivated land. In terms of seeds, this year, it is necessary to make a good combination of policies and implement the revitalization action of the seed industry. On arable land, implement the hard measures of “long teeth” arable land protection, implement the same responsibility of the party and the government for arable land protection, ensure that 1.8 billion mu of arable land is worthy of its name, and ensure that the arable land is mainly used for grain and cotton, oil, sugar, vegetables and other agricultural products and For the production of forage and feed, the permanent basic farmland is mainly used for grain production, and the high-standard farmland is used for grain production in principle.
