(Fighting new crown pneumonia) China's economic war "epidemic" record: Why is it "easy to go" this spring?
China News Agency, Beijing, March 2 (Reporter Chen Su) In the spring of the fight against the epidemic, the phrase "do not miss the opportunity to grasp spring agricultural production" was repeatedly mentioned in Chinese government documents. For China this year, the restoration of spring plowing production is particularly urgent and important.
The year's plan is spring. Kong Xiangzhi, a professor at the School of Agriculture and Rural Development at Renmin University of China, told reporters from the China News Agency that, especially in the northeast and northwest, crops grow only for one season, and spring cultivation cannot be delayed. In addition, for the integrated development of one, two, and three industries, the best operating time for agricultural enterprises after the Spring Festival each year, a large part of the year's income comes from this period. "If agricultural production is delayed in the spring, it will not only affect farmers' income, but also drag down the growth rate of the national economy as a whole, and affect the overall well-off."
Agriculture plays a role of "ballast stone" and "stabilizer" in China's national economy. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China pointed out that at present, spring ploughing is gradually spreading from south to north, and farming time does not wait for people. Once you miss the opportunity, you cannot make up for it. In addition, this year is the year to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is the year to win the battle against poverty in an all-round way. Stabilizing grain production and promoting farmers' income are of special significance to maintaining the overall economic and social situation.
Why is spring plowing so important this year?
The national teleconference on spring agricultural production held on February 25 conveyed and learned important instructions from Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, president of the CPC Central Committee, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Pay great attention to the agricultural production work this spring.
Zhang Hongyu, deputy dean of the China Rural Research Institute of Tsinghua University, told reporters that agriculture is the foundation of the economy. During the special period of fighting the epidemic, resuming agricultural production as soon as possible is of great significance to the national economic recovery and the stability of the national economy and society. With the continuation of the epidemic, the guarantee supply of agricultural products will evolve from a circulation problem to an agricultural production problem. Agricultural production must be resumed as soon as possible to ensure a stable supply of agricultural products.
Kong Xiangzhi said that the reason why the central government attaches so much importance to spring plowing this year is because of the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the restoration of spring plowing production. For example, due to inconvenience in transportation, many regions lack the means of production required for spring farming. Taking some counties in Shanxi as an example, agricultural resources reserves must be 100% ready after the Spring Festival in previous years, but many counties this year reflect that agricultural resources reserves are only 100%. Around 60; due to epidemic control and restrictions on entering and leaving the village, it is difficult for many farmers to leave the village to plant land or return to the city to work; due to the impact of logistics and supply, small and medium-sized enterprises that produce agricultural materials such as chemical fertilizers do not have the conditions for resumption of work.
At present, for some places that have not yet resumed agricultural production, various measures are urgently needed to create conditions for spring farming, and the restoration of spring farming is "unreliable."
Zhang Hongyu and other experts pointed out that as the epidemic situation continues, the scope of economic and social impact will increase and the degree will deepen, and the impact on the agricultural and rural economy will be comprehensive. It is necessary to make good preparations for spring ploughing, and to ensure the supply and transportation of agricultural production materials such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural membranes when farming is not missed. We will do a good job of resuming the work of related agricultural enterprises. We will do our best to prepare agricultural machinery for farming. Spreading of people began spring ploughing.
Kong Xiangzhi suggested that new business entities such as agricultural service enterprises and agricultural professional cooperatives could be encouraged to invest in spring ploughing as soon as possible through subsidies and other means; smooth transportation of agricultural production materials, and giving incentives such as gasoline subsidies and free tolls to logistics companies that transport agricultural materials ; For the problem of insufficient supply of agricultural resources, it is necessary to speed up the organization to resume production. If it cannot be restored in the short term, it is necessary to hurry up imports; for farmers who have difficulty going out to work in the village, they must organize in accordance with the central deployment and implement district-level differentiated epidemic prevention and control measures. Return to work.
Recently, the central and local governments have introduced a number of measures to restore spring cultivation. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued a notice a few days ago, requiring local governments to plan small control units and adopt differentiated measures in accordance with the requirements for accurate and tactical classification of epidemic prevention and control zones, so that agricultural resources can be advanced, and the "last mile" problem of agricultural materials transportation and sales can be solved. Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Chongqing, Tianjin, Hunan and many other regions have introduced various policies to benefit farmers to encourage the restoration of agricultural production.
On the 2nd, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas announced that it had launched the "100-day Grab Summer Harvest Harvest Campaign", urging counties to urge all regions to seize the agricultural time to resume spring farming and fight the first battle of grain production throughout the year.
