  China News Service, Beijing, January 13th (Reporter Chen Su) In 2020, China will achieve a decisive victory in poverty alleviation. In 2021, China will set out again and will turn poverty alleviation into rural revitalization.

On the 13th, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs introduced the specific work arrangements after winning the battle against poverty.

  On the same day, at a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council, Liu Huanxin, vice minister of China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that after winning the fight against poverty, the focus of work should be shifted to the overall promotion of rural revitalization, and to consolidate the effective connection between the results of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. The main task is to maintain a bottom line, improve a set of policies, and expand a number of industries.

  "Hold a bottom line, that is, no large-scale return to poverty." Liu Huanxin said that it is necessary to improve the dynamic assistance and monitoring mechanism for preventing return to poverty, and provide for unstable households, marginal households prone to poverty, and households with serious difficulties in basic life due to diseases and disasters. Carry out dynamic monitoring and timely incorporate it into the scope of assistance policies.

A five-year transition period has been established for poverty-stricken areas to maintain overall stability of the main assistance policies, and "send a ride" after "supporting the horse".

A number of key counties for rural revitalization will be identified in the western region for centralized support.

  Liu Huanxin said that a complete set of policies is to promote the smooth transformation of policies and measures to support rural revitalization.

Apply a series of policy measures and mechanisms such as organizational mobilization, element guarantee, policy support, collaborative assistance, assessment and supervision formed during the poverty alleviation period to rural revitalization, and establish a rural revitalization that is connected from top to bottom, accurately implements policies, and focuses on the end Work system.

  Liu Huanxin said that expanding a number of industries means promoting the sustainable development of characteristic industries in poverty alleviated areas.

Stable and strengthen supportive policies and measures for industrial development, plan the development of rural characteristic industries, and implement characteristic planting and breeding industry enhancement actions.

Improve the support measures for the entire industry chain, accelerate the construction of agricultural and food storage and preservation, and cold chain logistics facilities, and build a number of industrial parks, science and technology parks and industrial integration development demonstration parks to improve market competitiveness and anti-risk capabilities.

  Liu Huanxin pointed out that in the next step, China will do a good job in all aspects of effectively linking the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation results with rural revitalization, and will do a more solid job.
