Rural revitalization boosts agricultural development

According to the "Rural Green Paper: Analysis and Forecast of China's Rural Economic Situation (2022~2023)", in 2022, the income growth rate of rural residents will be higher than the economic growth rate, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents

For the first time Breaking through 20,000 yuan, it is predicted that the per capita disposable income of rural residents will increase to 22,000 yuan in 2023.

In recent years, Caowang Town, Boxing County, Binzhou City, Shandong Province has vigorously developed the peony fresh cut flower industry and relied on the fresh cut flower industry to promote rural tourism, focusing on "increasing farmers' income, increasing agricultural efficiency, and rural development". Development,

Let "Order Fresh Cut Flowers" boost rural revitalization. The picture shows the peony planting base in Zhaofeng Village, West of Caowang Town. Flower farmers are arranging fresh cut peony flowers after pruning.

High-quality development is comprehensively presented

The Green Paper points out that the rational operation and high-quality development of the agricultural and rural economy in 2022 will be reflected in many aspects. According to statistics, the overall pass rate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' 2022 national agricultural product quality and safety routine monitoring is 97.6%. There are 10,000 newly certified green organic agricultural products, and the total amount of green high-quality agricultural products has reached 200 million tons. The quality and safety situation of agricultural products continues to improve; the proportion of high-quality special wheat has increased to 38.5%, an increase of 1.2 percentage points from 2021.

The analysis of the Green Paper believes that new rural industries and new business formats will further develop. Models such as e-commerce direct procurement and customized production of agricultural products, as well as new industries and formats such as rural tourism, are constantly emerging. Many places have established a big food concept and actively cultivated and developed emerging industries such as prepared dishes. In order to consolidate and expand the achievements of rural collective property rights reform, various localities are actively exploring new rural collective economic development models such as resource contracting, property leasing, and asset participation to strengthen the new rural collective economy.

Rural construction has been solidly advanced. Through the in-depth implementation of rural construction actions and the five-year action to improve the rural living environment, farmers' living conditions have been further improved. Taking the actual needs of farmers as the guide, various localities have rectified and improved the work of rural toilet renovation, adapted measures to local conditions, steadily implemented rural toilet renovation, coordinated and intensified efforts to promote rural domestic sewage and garbage treatment, and achieved new results in improving the rural living environment.

The construction of rural infrastructure and public services continues to be strengthened. Based on the shortcomings and weak links of rural water and electricity and other infrastructure, all localities will coordinate the construction of rural roads, rural water supply, digital villages and other infrastructure, and strengthen the construction of rural education, medical care, social security, elderly care and other public service systems. . By 2022, all existing administrative villages will have broadband access in every village, express delivery service coverage will reach 95%, and rural tap water penetration will reach 87%.

The achievements in poverty alleviation continue to expand. Continue to increase the scale of central fiscal subsidies to promote rural revitalization, increase the proportion of subsidy funds used for industrial development, and promote the cultivation of characteristic leading industries in each poverty-stricken county. Rural specialty industries in poverty-stricken areas continue to grow. The state continues to support relocation poverty alleviation. We will provide follow-up support for relocation and strengthen regular support for low-income rural residents.

Cultivation of new agricultural business entities

At present, various new agricultural business entities such as family farms, farmer cooperatives, and agricultural social service organizations have gradually become the mainstay of ensuring stable income growth for farmers and effective supply of agricultural products. , an important force in agricultural transformation and upgrading. On the basis of adhering to household contract management, cultivating new agricultural business entities engaged in agricultural production and services is a major strategy related to my country's agricultural modernization.

In this regard, the Green Paper pointed out that in 2022, the per capita disposable income of rural residents exceeded 20,000 yuan for the first time, reaching 20,133 yuan, an increase of 1,202 yuan over the previous year, a nominal increase of 6.3%, and a real increase of 4.2% , the nominal growth rate and the actual growth rate dropped by 4.2 percentage points and 5.5 percentage points respectively. Although the actual growth rate of per capita disposable income of rural residents has dropped significantly, it is still 1.2 percentage points higher than the actual growth rate of GDP, which is equivalent to the actual growth rate of the added value of the primary industry. Wage income still contributes most to the increase in income of rural residents. In 2022, the per capita wage income of rural residents will be 8,449 yuan, an increase of 491 yuan over the previous year, a nominal increase of 6.2%. The contribution rate to the income increase of rural residents was 40.9%.

In order to increase the income of rural residents, maintain the continuity of agricultural support policies, and increase people’s livelihood support, the state stabilizes farmland fertility protection subsidies, corn, soybean producer subsidies, and rice subsidy policies, and expands the soybean and corn belt complex. The scope of planting subsidies and soybean rotation subsidies will be increased, and the minimum basic pension and minimum living security standards for rural residents will be increased. In 2022, the per capita pension or retirement pension income of rural residents will increase by 8.5% compared with the previous year, and the per capita minimum living security level for rural residents will be higher than the previous year. The annual growth rate was 8.2%, which strongly supported the increase in net transfer income of rural residents.

Take multiple measures to promote rural revitalization

Looking forward to 2023, the Green Paper believes that favorable factors to promote the rational operation and high-quality development of agriculture and rural economy will increase significantly, and the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery will The overall situation continues to be good, with rural consumption and rural investment growing, and the prices of major agricultural products will remain within a reasonable range, which will continue to support economic and social stability and development. At the same time, driven by the strong recovery of the macro-economy, and driven by the emphasis on livable, industrial and beautiful rural areas in the practice of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, the growth rate of net income of rural households in the secondary and tertiary industries is expected to accelerate. Among them, the added value of my country's primary industry will exceed 9 trillion yuan, an increase of 4%; total grain output will exceed 690 million tons, of which corn output will reach about 290 million tons and soybean output will exceed 21 million tons. The grain production structure will be further optimized, imports of major agricultural products will show a growth trend, and the price fluctuations of agricultural products and food will generally be limited, but structural fluctuations and short-term fluctuations will continue.

In terms of employment, the Green Paper points out that China’s economy will gradually recover in 2023, which will surely bring more job opportunities to migrant workers. All regions will vigorously cultivate new agricultural business entities and develop moderate-scale operations, as well as all regions implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and generally regard the revitalization of rural industries as the top priority in accelerating the construction of an agricultural power. This will significantly enhance the absorption of more local farmers. At the same time, the country will continue to implement detailed employment priority policies and continue to pay attention to the employment of migrant workers and people who have been lifted out of poverty. These will bring about accelerated growth in the wage income of rural residents. As my country's economy gradually recovers, it is expected that the per capita wage income of rural residents will increase by about 1,000 yuan to about 9,500 yuan in 2023; the per capita net operating income of rural residents will increase by about 500 yuan, reaching about 7,500 yuan.

In addition, the Green Paper recommends elevating the green transformation and development of agriculture to a national strategy, strictly regulating the behavior of agricultural production means enterprises, increasing the technological promotion of biopesticides, and eliminating the production of highly toxic pesticides from the source. ; Standardize the production behavior of agricultural production entities, accelerate the formulation of strict agricultural product quality standard systems, so that quality supervision and management before, during, and after production can be in line with the international market; establish and strengthen the ecological risk assessment mechanism for agricultural production technology, Establish and strengthen a long-term mechanism for the supervision of agricultural product production chains.
