Formulate and revise national standards and industry standards for the agricultural product processing industry, and establish a suitable evaluation standard system for agricultural products and their processed products.
Carry out processing technology innovation and processing equipment creation, research and development of detrimental practical technology and advanced processing technology, and reduce the energy consumption of agricultural products processing.
The "Opinions" require that agricultural and rural departments at all levels establish a coordination mechanism, strengthen communication and coordination, carry out scheduling analysis, promote the implementation of measures, and study specific measures for improvement. It is necessary to strengthen policy support, support agricultural product processing enterprises to participate in the construction of agricultural projects, and improve the level of technical equipment. Expand the scope of subsidies for the purchase of primary processing machinery for agricultural products. Guide financial institutions to give priority to supporting agricultural products processing enterprises that have achieved remarkable results in reducing losses and increasing efficiency. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and guidance, guide consumers to establish scientific and healthy consumption concepts, and gradually change the consumption habits of pursuing "bright, white and refined" rations.
