By the end of 2020, the country has completed the construction of 800 million mu of high-standard farmland

　　China News Service, September 16th. Zhang Taolin, deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said on the 16th that by the end of 2020, the country has completed the construction of 800 million mu of high-standard farmland.

The constructed high-standard farmland has obvious effects in terms of water, electricity, fertilizer, medicine, labor, etc. The average grain production per mu is generally increased by 10% to 20%, and the average cost and efficiency per mu is about 500 yuan. In order to protect the enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain and ensure that the national grain output has been stable at more than 1.3 trillion catties for many years, it has played an important supporting role.

　　On the 16th, the State Council Information Office held a regular policy briefing of the State Council. Zhang Taolin, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and relevant persons in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance introduced the "National High-standard Farmland Construction Plan (2021-2030)".

　　Zhang Taolin pointed out at the meeting that the people regard food as the heaven, and food is the earth.

As the basis of food production, the quality of farmland not only affects the level of food production, but also affects the quality of agricultural products, which is the foundation of food security.

At the same time, farmland is an important part of the ecosystem, and soil is an important carbon pool (carbon sink), which plays an important role in promoting the green and low-carbon development of agriculture and the construction of agricultural and rural ecological civilization.

　　The Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the construction of high-standard farmland, emphasize the need to focus on the protection of arable land and the improvement of soil fertility, accelerate the construction of high-standard farmland, effectively improve the construction standards and quality, and truly achieve dry and flood guarantees, high and stable yields.

To this end, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in conjunction with relevant departments and local governments, conscientiously implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, in-depth implementation of the strategy of storing grain on the ground and storing grain on technology, strengthen policy support, strengthen work guidance, and promote the promotion of high-standard farmland in all regions. Construction to improve agricultural production conditions, ecological environment, and increase food production capacity.

　　As of the end of 2020, the country has completed the construction of 800 million mu of high-standard farmland.

The constructed high-standard farmland has obvious effects in terms of water, electricity, fertilizer, medicine, labor, etc. The average grain production per mu is generally increased by 10% to 20%, and the average cost and efficiency per mu is about 500 yuan. In order to protect the enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain and ensure that the national grain output has been stable at more than 1.3 trillion catties for many years, it has played an important supporting role.

　　Zhang Taolin said that the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that the implementation of high-standard farmland construction projects. The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the No. 1 document of the central government in recent years have made specific plans for the preparation and implementation of a new round of national high-standard farmland construction plans. deploy.

To this end, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs conducted field surveys in more than 120 counties in 16 provinces, held several special meetings to discuss evidence, and extensively solicited opinions from relevant central departments, local governments, experts in related fields, and grassroots farmland construction managers. On August 27, it took the lead to form the "National High-Standard Farmland Construction Plan (2021-2030)", which was formally implemented on August 27 with the approval of the State Council.

The "Plan" has been published in full on the Internet.

　　On the basis of summarizing the situation of farmland construction in recent years, the "Plan" analyzes the situation faced by the country's high-standard farmland construction, and clarifies the direction, objectives and tasks of high-standard farmland construction. It is important to guide the systematic development of high-standard farmland construction in the future. The basis and action guidelines are of great significance for consolidating the consensus of all parties to accelerate the construction of a new pattern of farmland construction, promote high-quality agricultural development and comprehensive rural revitalization, and consolidate the foundation for national food security.

　　Zhang Taolin introduced that, in summary, the "Planning" has the following characteristics and main contents:

　　First, the "Plan" insists on system thinking and overall concept, based on my country's national conditions and economic and social development stage, focusing on the long-term and overall situation, and comprehensively considering factors such as natural resource endowment, work foundation, financial situation and other factors, and proposes the construction of high-standard farmland for a period of time in the future. The overall goal and task is to clarify that by 2025, a total of 1.075 billion mu will be built and 105 million mu will be transformed and upgraded, and 1.2 billion mu will be built and 280 million mu of high-standard farmland will be built in 2030; by 2035, the number and quality of high-standard farmland in the country will be further improved improve.

　　Second, the "Plan" closely follows the theme of high-quality development and clarifies the fields (field improvement), soil (soil improvement), water (irrigation and drainage), roads (field roads), forests (farmland protection) for high-standard farmland construction. And ecological environment), electricity (farmland power transmission and distribution), technology (technical services), management (management and utilization), these 8 aspects can be said to be a system that integrates water, soil, gas, and ecological conditions, and is a coordinated system. project.

It is required to accelerate the establishment of a high-standard farmland construction standard system that is scientifically unified, well-defined, and well-structured.

At the same time, comprehensively considering factors such as construction costs, price fluctuations, government investment capacity, and multiple financing channels, gradually increase the level of investment per mu. The average investment per mu in the construction of high-standard farmland across the country should generally gradually reach about 3,000 yuan.

　　Third, the "Plan" focuses on the primary goals of food production, optimizes the construction divisions, clarifies the key points of sub-regional construction, requires scientific design of construction content, strengthens project management, strictly implements relevant construction standards and norms, and changes the quality of cultivated land. Evaluation to improve the quality of construction.

Standardize the project completion acceptance, improve the long-term management and protection mechanism, and realize the long-term sustainable benefits of the project.

At the same time, the "Plan" also clarified the implementation of safeguard measures.

　　Fourth, the "Plan" focuses on insisting on problem-oriented and goal-oriented. Compared with the previous round of the national high-standard farmland construction plan from 2011 to 2020, it has three outstanding features.

　　One is to give more attention to the guarantee of production capacity.

Based on ensuring the basic self-sufficiency of grains and the absolute safety of rations, with the primary goal of increasing grain production capacity, priority will be given to permanent basic farmland and the "two areas" (ie grain production functional areas, important agricultural production protection areas), and focus on the construction of concentrated contiguous areas, drought and flood protection areas. , Water-saving, high-efficiency, stable and high-yield, eco-friendly high-standard farmland, forming a batch of "one-season per mu per thousand catties, two-season per mu per ton of grain", to further build the foundation for ensuring national food security and keep the rice bowl firmly in place Own hands.

　　The second is to give more prominence to quality requirements.

Adhere to the equal emphasis on new construction and renovation and upgrading, equal emphasis on construction quantity and completion quality, equal emphasis on project construction and post-construction management and protection, coordination of production capacity enhancement and green development (ie "three equal emphasis and one coordination"), and reasonable arrangements for the transformation of established high-standard farmland Upgrade, further enhance the capacity of grain production and the supply of important agricultural products, and form a higher-level, more efficient and more sustainable national food security foundation.

　　The third is to focus more on pertinence and operability.

In view of the main obstacles facing food production in different regions, we will classify and guide the construction of high-standard farmland across the country into seven regions, including the Northeast, Huanghuaihai, Middle and Lower Yangtze River, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, and Qinghai-Tibet regions, and adjust measures to local conditions. Put forward the construction key points of each district and the construction goals and tasks of each province.

　　Zhang Taolin said that in the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will, in accordance with the deployment requirements of the "Plan", actively work with localities and relevant departments to effectively implement the "Plan", vigorously promote the construction of high-standard farmland, and accelerate the filling of shortcomings in agricultural infrastructure. The ability of farmland to prevent and reduce disasters, achieve high-quality construction, high-efficiency management, and high-level utilization, lay a solid foundation for ensuring national food security and the effective supply of important agricultural products.
