China News Service, December 16th. Wei Baigang, chief economist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and Director of the Development Planning Department, stated on the 16th that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized 22 provinces with heavy poverty alleviation tasks and 832 poor counties in the central and western regions. All counties have formulated industrial poverty alleviation plans to guide localities based on their resource endowments, select and accurately determine the leading industries for poverty alleviation based on local conditions, and strive to achieve differentiated competition and dislocation development at the beginning of industry selection.

On the 16th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the progress of industrial poverty alleviation.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: In some local industries, there is a phenomenon of homogeneous competition in the development of industries.
What are the good experiences and practices in guiding poverty-stricken areas to choose characteristic industries to promote poverty alleviation?
Wei Baigang pointed out that most of the poverty-stricken areas are rich in biological resources and have a good ecological environment, and they have unique advantages in developing characteristic industries.
How to transform these resource advantages into industrial advantages and economic advantages is indeed a question that everyone has always been very concerned about. Many scholars have also published articles in this area.
In response to these issues, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has always attached great importance to it. In the past two years, it has focused on three aspects:
The first is to make a good plan and select the right industries.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organizes 22 provinces with heavy poverty alleviation tasks and 832 poverty-stricken counties in the central and western regions. Each province and each county has formulated an industrial poverty alleviation plan to guide localities based on their resource endowments, and select and accurately determine the leading industries for poverty alleviation in accordance with local conditions. At the beginning of industry selection, differentiated competition and dislocation development can be realized.
At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs continued to organize 832 poverty-stricken counties to systematically sort out leading poverty alleviation industries, and formed two large-scale reports.
Organize industrial technology system experts to formulate industry development guidelines for leading industries with a wide range of poverty alleviation, large numbers of poor people, good income growth, and the top 18 leading industries, and guide all regions to further improve industrial planning, optimize development directions, and become bigger and stronger Be a leading industry for fine poverty alleviation.
The second is to develop processing and extend the chain.
The development of industries in poverty-stricken areas started late, and homogenization is often reflected in the sale of "original brand" agricultural products.
"At the planting stage, you also produce golden pears, and I also produce golden pears; you develop jujubes, and I also grow jujubes over there. The development of agro-products processing industry can effectively promote the transformation and value-added of agricultural products and expand the market space. Raw materials are available everywhere. Different, but they are all high-quality. Different products and different brands are processed, and the degree of conversion and value-added is different."
In recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has actively created conditions to guide processing companies to establish processing bases in impoverished counties and villages. Agricultural production projects such as primary processing of agricultural products, strong agricultural industrial towns, and advantageous characteristic industrial clusters are tilted to poor areas and support Poor counties vigorously develop primary processing, intensive processing and comprehensive utilization of agricultural products.
Walnut oil is developed in places where walnuts are produced, various wines such as red wine and white wine are developed in places where grapes are grown, and slaughter and beef and mutton food processing are developed in places where cattle and sheep are raised.
A total of 43,000 primary processing facilities for agricultural products have been built in 832 impoverished counties, with an additional primary processing capacity of 8.288 million tons.
Through the development of agricultural products processing, not only the low-level homogeneous competition of selling raw materials has been avoided, but also more industrial value-added income and jobs have been created.
The third is to highlight features and build brands.
The development of industries in poverty-stricken areas must highlight their characteristics and make good brand articles.
In the industrial poverty alleviation, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs supports the vast poor areas to build regional public brands, corporate brands and product brands.
In November, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized the 18th China International Agricultural Products Fair, which is very important to promote the corporate brands of agricultural products.
Support the development of green organic geographical indication agricultural products certification, shorten the certification cycle, and require reduction or exemption of related fees.
832 impoverished counties have accumulatively certified 12,000 "two products and one standard" agricultural products, and developed a batch of "exclusive", "special-in-special", "good-in-class" and "staggered" agricultural products.
"In many places, I am a'single one'. For example, Yunnan Nujiang grass fruit may be the only one in each place. On the basis of the unique one, the characteristics of special agricultural products are more distinctive and prominent. On this basis, it is better to be'good in quality'. At the same time,'Cross Peak Tou' is the sale of the wrong season. For example, Dingxi potatoes in Northwest China, Yunnan flowers, Xiangxi kiwifruit, Nanjiang grape and red dates, Ningxia Tan sheep, Nujiang grass Fruits, etc., are becoming more and more well-known and have created regional brands. Some corporate brands are getting brighter and brighter, and their market sales are very good, effectively driving the poor people to stably increase their income." Wei Baigang said, "The next step is to avoid the development of characteristic industries. We will continue to do a good job of homogenization."
