 A strong agricultural country is the foundation of a strong modern socialist country

  If the nation is to rejuvenate, the village must be rejuvenated.

Entering the new journey of realizing the second centenary goal, the focus of the "three rural" work has historically shifted to comprehensively promote rural revitalization.

Party committees and governments at all levels must implement the Party Central Committee's major policy and decision-making arrangements on "three rural" work, insist on giving priority to the development of agriculture and rural areas, accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, and make the lives of farmers blossom and grow steadily.

  ——In September 2021, Xi Jinping extended holiday congratulations and sincere condolences to farmers across the country and comrades working on the "three rural" fronts

  In building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, the most arduous and arduous tasks still lie in the countryside.

Adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, adhere to the integrated development of urban and rural areas, and smooth the flow of urban and rural elements.

Accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural country, and solidly promote the revitalization of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology, and organizations.

  ——October 16, 2022, Xi Jinping's report at the Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China

  A strong agricultural country is the foundation of a strong modern socialist country. Meeting the needs of the people for a better life, achieving high-quality development, and consolidating the foundation of national security are all inseparable from agricultural development.

To build a strong agricultural country should embody Chinese characteristics, be based on our national conditions, be based on the resource endowment of a large number of people and little land, the historical heritage of farming civilization, and the requirements of the era of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and follow our own path instead of simply copying foreign models of modern agricultural powers.

We must rely on our own strength to secure our jobs, rely on the two-tier management system to develop agriculture, develop ecological low-carbon agriculture, continue farming civilization, and solidly promote common prosperity.

At present, it is necessary to anchor the goal of building a strong agricultural country, scientifically plan and promote the "three rural" work, strengthen top-level design, and formulate plans to accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural country; Based on resource endowment and development stage, solve the practical problems that are most urgent in agricultural and rural development and that are most strongly reflected by farmers, and do not engage in face-saving projects that are divorced from reality.

Ensuring a stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products is always the top priority for building a strong agricultural country

  Ensuring the security of the supply of important agricultural products such as grain is the top priority of the “three rural” work.

The issue of food security must not be taken lightly.

It is necessary to ensure basic self-sufficiency in grain, absolute security of rations, and ensure that the Chinese people's rice bowl is firmly in their own hands.

It is necessary to persist in promoting the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, optimize the agricultural production structure, optimize the regional layout of agricultural production, and strengthen the construction of grain production functional areas, important agricultural product production protection areas, and characteristic agricultural product advantage areas.

  ——October 29, 2020, Xi Jinping's speech at the second plenary session of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee

  If the Chinese people want to hold the rice bowl firmly in their own hands, they must hold the seeds firmly in their own hands.

It is necessary to focus on ensuring food security and the supply of important agricultural products, realize self-reliance and self-reliance in seed industry technology, independent and controllable seed sources, and use Chinese seeds to ensure China's food security.

  ——From April 10 to 13, 2022, Xi Jinping's speech during his inspection in Hainan

  Ensuring a stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products has always been the top priority of building a strong agricultural country.

It is necessary to implement a new round of 100 billion catties of grain production capacity improvement actions, and formulate implementation plans as soon as possible.

We must grasp the two key points of arable land and seeds, resolutely hold the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land, gradually build all permanent basic farmland into high-standard farmland, earnestly achieve results in the revitalization of the seed industry, and firmly hold the leading varieties in our own hands.

It is necessary to improve the income guarantee mechanism for grain farmers and the compensation mechanism for the interests of main producing areas.

To ensure food security, efforts must be made to increase production and reduce losses at the same time, and continue to deepen food conservation actions.

It is necessary to establish a big food concept, build a diversified food supply system, and develop food sources through multiple channels.

It is necessary to strictly assess and urge all localities to truly shoulder the responsibility of ensuring food security.

Promoting rural revitalization in an all-round way is an important task for building a strong agricultural country in the new era

  With the in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy as the starting point, deepen the "thousand village demonstration, ten thousand village improvement" project and the construction of beautiful villages and beautiful towns, promote industrial and commercial capital, technology and talents "going to the mountains and going to the countryside", establish and improve the urban-rural integration development system and mechanism and Policy system to accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.

  ——From March 29 to April 1, 2020, Xi Jinping's speech during his inspection in Zhejiang

  Now, our mission is to promote rural revitalization in an all-round way, which is a historic shift in the focus of the "three rural" work.

It should be noted that a considerable number of poverty-stricken households have guaranteed basic living, but their income levels are still not high, and the foundation for poverty alleviation is still relatively fragile; The industry is generally well established, but the support of technology, capital, talents, and the market is not strong enough. In some places, the industry may collapse once the support cadres are withdrawn.

In the next step, the task of preventing poverty from returning to poverty in poverty-stricken areas is still very important. It is necessary to do a good job in consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and effectively connecting with rural revitalization. There is a large-scale return to poverty.

  ——On December 28, 2020, Xi Jinping's speech at the Central Rural Work Conference

  Comprehensively promoting rural revitalization is an important task in building a strong agricultural country in the new era. Human input, material resources allocation, and financial guarantees must all be transferred to rural revitalization.

It is necessary to comprehensively promote the "five revitalizations" of industry, talent, culture, ecology, and organization, coordinate deployment, coordinate advancement, focus on key points, and make up for shortcomings.

Industrial revitalization is the top priority of rural revitalization. It is necessary to implement industrial support policies, do a good job of "native products" articles, rely on agricultural and rural characteristic resources, and seek benefits from the development of multiple functions of agriculture and the digging of rural multiple values. The development of industrial integration requires benefits, strengthening the leader, supplementing the chain, developing business models, building brands, promoting the upgrading of the entire chain of rural industries, and enhancing market competitiveness and sustainable development capabilities.

Consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation is the bottom line task of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. We must continue to tighten the compaction responsibility, link the assistance policies and measures in place for the out-of-poverty population and poverty-stricken areas, and resolutely prevent the phenomenon of entire villages and villages returning to poverty.

We must insist on increasing farmers' income as the central task of the "three rural" work, and do everything possible to broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and become rich.
