Doing a good job in spring ploughing and harvesting agricultural harvests is of great significance for winning the tough fight against poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way. The reporter learned that due to the impact of the epidemic, current agricultural production is facing some outstanding difficulties. But the more complicated the situation, the more we must stabilize agriculture. Moreover, there are still many favorable conditions for stable agricultural production.
At present, in the Huanghuaihai Plain, winter wheat has returned to green, and spring field management has begun; in Jiangnan, rapeseed flowers are about to bloom; in South and Southwest China, some crops have begun to spring; in the Northeast, some areas are planning to prepare land for farming. In the vast vegetable greenhouses and livestock pens, the pace of agricultural production in spring has never stopped.
The more complicated the situation, the more it is necessary to stabilize agriculture. "This year is a special year. Doing a good job in spring ploughing and harvesting agricultural harvests is of great significance to win the battle against poverty and build a well-off society in an all-round way." Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Han Changfu said that it is necessary to adhere to epidemic prevention and control and agricultural production. To ensure the normal and orderly agricultural production in spring, resolutely fight the epidemic to win a well-off year in the agricultural harvest, and ensure that the key tasks of agricultural and rural development are completed as scheduled.
Play the agricultural card and stabilize the basic market
In the past few days, farming machinery roared in the farmland of Dongqing Village, a rural speciality planting cooperative in Penggao Town, Pinggao Town, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province. Hu Ruhai, a farmer, drove the tiller through the fields, and the fields became smooth. On the other hand, the farmers on the other side took advantage of the clear weather to clear the land that had been machined out of the ditch and organize them into strips. The chairman of the cooperative, Li Haijun, said that the cooperative has 116 acres of farmland and plans to arrange all the farmland in one week without delaying the next planting plan.
The year's plan is spring. Liu Changquan, director of the Industrial Economics Department of the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that doing a good job in agricultural production is the material basis for overall promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. Different from industrial production, the object of agricultural production is a living body with its natural laws. It is urgent and must not be delayed during agricultural time. Spring agricultural production involves many varieties and a wide range. The area of grain sowed in spring accounts for more than half of the year, and the output of summer grain accounts for about a quarter of the year. Spring is the peak season for livestock and poultry supplementation and expansion, and meat, egg and milk protection cannot be separated from the spring.
The reporter learned that due to the impact of the epidemic, current agricultural production is facing some outstanding difficulties. In some areas, it is difficult for agricultural resources to reach the village, farmers to get out of the field, and grain production is affected to some extent. The circulation of important agricultural products such as "vegetable baskets" is blocked in some areas. Vegetables and fruits are stagnant in some areas. Live poultry transportation is banned in some areas. Normal poultry breeding, transportation, slaughter, and sales channels have been blocked. The "difficult" phenomenon, especially the new agricultural subjects such as family farms, farmer cooperatives, and agricultural leading enterprises, generally faces difficulties in labor and expensive labor, and difficulties in production and operation.
But at the same time, the reporter found out that there are still many favorable conditions for stable agricultural production. On the one hand, policies are supportive. The central government has continued to support food production. China has maintained the minimum purchase prices for rice and wheat, as well as the overall stability of subsidies for corn and soybean producers. The purchase subsidies for agricultural machinery have increased, which is conducive to mobilizing farmers' enthusiasm for agriculture. Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs put forward a series of policies and measures on the stable production and supply of "vegetable baskets", spring ploughing and preparation, resumption of production and resumption of production in the aquaculture industry, and linkage of agricultural product production and sales. On the other hand, agricultural resources are guaranteed. It is estimated that the national demand for hybrid corn and hybrid rice seeds this year will be 1.06 billion and 210 million kg, and available seeds will be 1.64 billion and 400 million kg respectively. The supply of pesticides and fertilizers is generally guaranteed. It is estimated that more than 22 million sets of various agricultural machinery can be invested in the country, and the rate of mechanical cultivation and sowing of grain and oil crops exceeds 90% and 55%, respectively.
Develop planting industry and keep good "rice bag"
The latest agricultural dispatch by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the crops in the country are growing well. The area of winter wheat is basically stable. The first- and second-class seedlings in 11 major provinces of winter wheat accounted for 83.4%, an increase of 2.7 percentage points over the same period of the previous year. The seedling situation is better than the previous year. At present, winter wheat is still in the overwintering period in most northern regions. Winter rapeseed covers an area of more than 92 million mu, a year-on-year increase of 2.7 million mu. The first- and second-class seedlings in the main production area accounted for 83.3%, an increase of 1.3 percentage points year-on-year. At present, the winter rapeseed in the Yangtze River Basin has entered the bud period.
Heilongjiang is the largest province in grain production. At this time, the black land gradually broke the quiet. "The province's crop planting area is expected to remain above 220 million acres, including more than 210 million acres of grain crops." Wang Yongkang, deputy governor of Heilongjiang Province, introduced that Heilongjiang opened a green channel for agricultural materials and adopted special personnel, dedicated car transportation, dedicated lines, and special person pick-ups Measures to ensure smooth transportation. Utilizing new media such as the Yinong Information Service and agricultural big data platforms, new online methods such as online guidance, ordering, training, and loans were adopted to ensure that both epidemic prevention and control and prepared farming production were correct. At present, spring ploughing seeds, pesticides and diesel have been in place, 75% of the fertilizers have arrived, and 80% of the funds have been raised.
Shandong is a large wheat production province. 58.6 million mu of wheat is the key period for spring field management. "At present, the seedling situation in Shandong Province is generally good, and the first- and second-class seedlings account for 83% of the total area. In order to stabilize the development of grain production, the province last year took the stability of grain production as an important indicator and incorporated it into the rural revitalization assessment system. Realize the responsibility for food security. "Yu Guoan, deputy governor of Shandong Province, said that this year will improve the indicators for grain production assessment, increase assessment efforts, and mobilize grassroots governments to enthusiastically focus on agriculture. At the same time, research and release of implementation opinions on practically strengthening the construction of high-standard farmland to enhance the country's ability to ensure food security, the establishment of a system to carry out green high-quality and efficient creation of grain, and continuously improve the level of food production.
Do n’t wait for people during farming. Pan Wenbo, director of the Planting Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that it is necessary to effectively stabilize the grain planting area, promote the introduction of temporary subsidy measures, guide the southern region to restore double-season rice, and strive to have an early rice area of not less than last year. This year's structural adjustment will not reduce the area of grain, corn should be stable, and trials of crop rotation and fallow will be appropriately adjusted. Grain to feed will mainly support the northern farming and pastoral ecotone. Affected by the epidemic, the production and operation of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and other products were blocked. Agricultural production enterprises should be accelerated to resume production and store openings as soon as possible, and a “green channel” of point-to-point security for transportation should be established to ensure that shops and villages can be reached before spring farming. Strengthen the assistance and guidance to large-scale operation entities, and promote "one-stop" production hosting services.
Stable breeding industry guarantees meat, eggs and milk
Meat, eggs, and milk are the main products produced by the animal husbandry industry, and they are also the focus of the people's "vegetable baskets" to ensure supply. Recently, various regions and departments have stepped up their efforts to continue to implement policies such as the integration of aquaculture land into facility agricultural land management, the implementation of the EIA implementation commitment system, and the inspection and rectification of closed areas. At present, the trial of collateral loans for hog breeding has been expanded from 4 provinces to the whole country. The range of subsidies for loan subsidies for farm households has been adjusted from more than 5,000 heads per year to more than 500 heads. With the expansion of the loan scale, more and more farm households have begun. Benefit. All localities have also made efforts to solve the difficulties encountered in poultry farming due to the epidemic situation, and support farmers to speed up replenishment to ensure that poultry meat production continues to increase throughout the year.
Sichuan is the largest province for pig production. "In January this year, the province's pig population was 29 million, of which 2.8 million were capable of breeding sows, and pig production grew steadily and slightly." Sichuan Province Deputy Governor Yao Sidan said that Sichuan's provincial-level finance was 300 million yuan. A standard subsidy of 300 yuan per head is added to breed sows. Aiming at farmers' individual farmers, we will promote the "company + farmers" and other models to help small and medium-sized farm farmers develop standardized farming. Carry out "point-to-point" services to help feed, slaughter enterprises and 504 pig farm projects accelerate the return to work and production. At present, slaughtering enterprises in the province have basically resumed work, and feed enterprises have resumed work at over 85%. Looking at the whole year, the annual task of 60 million pigs is expected to be fully completed.
Hunan Province actively implements the "Quality Hunan Pig" project. The province awards compensation for newly-built, rebuilt and expanded standardized pig farms according to the new production capacity. For an annual production capacity of 10,000 to 30,000 heads, 500,000 yuan will be subsidized; for more than 30,000 heads, 800,000 yuan will be subsidized. Support the expansion of the scope of hog price insurance pilots, help farmers to connect with loan financing institutions, and alleviate the farmers' funding difficulties. At present, 187 new large-scale breeding projects in the province have started and resumed work, and it is expected that the production capacity will be increased by 9.3 million heads. In January this year, the number of live pigs in the province will increase by 32.78%, and the basic capacity of farms with a scale of more than 500 heads will be restored. Faster.
"Implement policies and measures to each rural farmer, and follow-up the problem resolution to each enterprise to ensure that the basic production capacity of the livestock and poultry breeding industry will not be lost." Yang Zhenhai, director of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that he must do everything possible to speed up pig production. Restore development and actively promote the stable development of poultry and other breeding industries. It is necessary to accelerate the resource utilization of livestock and poultry breeding waste, ensure that the comprehensive utilization rate is above 75%, and that the scale of facilities and equipment for large-scale farms is above 95%. It is necessary to support the development of standardized large-scale breeding, promote the overall revitalization of the dairy industry, promote the quality and efficiency of the feed and veterinary medicine industry, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the slaughter industry.
