In the No. 1 Central Document of 2012, *** the Central Committee and the State Council issued "Several Opinions on Accelerating Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation and Continuously Enhancing Agricultural Products Supply Guarantee Capabilities" (Abstract) The overall requirements for agricultural and rural work in 2012 are: ------

We will further strengthen policies to strengthen agriculture, benefit farmers and enrich farmers, strive to achieve good agricultural harvests, work together to promote a rapid increase in farmers' income, and strive to maintain harmony and stability in rural society.

1. Increase investment intensity and work intensity and continue to promote stable agricultural development 1. Never relax in food production.

To ensure the effective supply of agricultural products, we must first stabilize food production and ensure that there is no landslide.

It is necessary to effectively implement the "rice bag" provincial governor responsibility system, continue to carry out actions to steadily increase grain production, do everything possible to stabilize grain sowing area, expand production of scarce varieties, and strive to improve unit yield and quality.

Continue to implement the national plan for adding 100 billion kilograms of grain production capacity and accelerate the improvement of the production capacity of 800 major grain-producing counties (cities, districts, farms).

Continue to implement scientific and technological projects for high grain yields and new super rice variety breeding and demonstration projects.

Support advantageous production areas to strengthen the construction of cotton, oilseeds, and sugar production bases, further optimize layout, focus on yield per unit area, and improve efficiency.

We will further promote the creation of high-yield grain, cotton, oil and sugar, actively expand the scale, and vigorously carry out the establishment of a consolidation system in counties and towns with good basic conditions and high production potential.

We will vigorously support the development of technical guidance and production services for disaster prevention and reduction in key farming seasons and key areas, accelerate the promotion of professional unified prevention and control of crop diseases and pests, and improve support policies for the prevention and control of major diseases and insect pests.

2. Pay close attention to the supply of "vegetable basket" products.

To grasp the "vegetable basket" well, we must build vegetable gardens and manage vegetable stalls well.

It is necessary to accelerate the promotion of regional layout, standardized production, and large-scale planting, and improve the overall supply guarantee capability and quality and safety level of "vegetable basket" products.

We will vigorously develop facility agriculture, continue to build horticultural crop standard gardens and livestock and poultry aquatic product demonstration fields, and start the construction of demonstration counties to promote overall agricultural standardization.

Implement the national vegetable industry development plan and support advantageous areas to strengthen vegetable land infrastructure construction.

Stably develop pig production, support standardized breeding and the construction of original breeding farms in major beef and sheep producing counties, initiate and implement actions to revitalize the alfalfa development of the dairy industry, and promote the construction of large-scale pig and dairy farming communities.

Formulate and implement the second phase plan for animal disease prevention and control, and deal with major epidemics in a timely manner.

Carry out aquaculture ecological environment restoration pilot projects, support the renewal and transformation of distant-water fishing vessels, and strengthen fishery administration construction and management.

Give full play to the active role of leading agricultural industrialization enterprises in the production and circulation of "vegetable basket" products.

Strengthen the comprehensive coordination of food quality and safety supervision, strengthen the construction of inspection and testing systems and traceability systems, and carry out quality and safety risk assessments.

Vigorously promote efficient and safe fertilizers, low-toxicity and low-residue pesticides, and strictly regulate the use of food and feed additives.

Implement the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system and give full play to the emergency support function of urban agriculture. Large and medium-sized cities must insist on maintaining a certain self-sufficiency in fresh food such as vegetables.

3. Increase agricultural investment and subsidies.

We will continue to increase fiscal expenditures for "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", continue to increase national fixed asset investment in agriculture and rural areas, and continue to increase investment in agricultural science and technology to ensure that both increment and proportion increase.

Give full play to the government's leading role in agricultural science and technology investment, ensure that the growth rate of fiscal agricultural science and technology investment is significantly higher than the growth rate of fiscal regular revenue, gradually increase the proportion of agricultural research and development investment in agricultural added value, and establish a long-term mechanism for stable investment growth.

In accordance with the requirements of increasing the total amount, expanding the scope, and improving the mechanism, the intensity of agricultural subsidies will continue to be increased, and new subsidies will be tilted towards main production areas, large planting and breeding households, and farmers' professional cooperatives.

Increase the level of direct subsidies to grain farmers.

Implement a dynamic adjustment mechanism for comprehensive agricultural input subsidies and increase subsidies in a timely manner.

Increase subsidies for improved varieties.

Expand the scale and scope of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, and further improve the subsidy mechanism and management methods.

Improve the interest compensation mechanism in main producing areas, increase reward funds for major grain (oil) producing counties, and increase incentives for major counties that transfer pigs out of the country.

Explore and improve ecological compensation systems for forests, grasslands, water and soil conservation, etc.

Study and establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for public welfare forest compensation standards to further increase wetland protection.

Accelerate the transformation of grassland animal husbandry development methods, increase support for animal husbandry, pastoral areas, and herdsmen. The grassland ecological protection subsidy and reward policy covers pastoral and semi-pastoral counties (cities, banners) determined by the state.

We will increase financial incentives and subsidies for the construction of village-level public welfare undertakings, and actively guide farmers and social funds to invest in "agriculture, rural areas and farmers".

Effectively integrate state investment and improve the efficiency of fund use.

Effectively strengthen the supervision of fiscal "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" investment and the use of subsidy funds, and resolutely stop and severely investigate and punish illegal activities such as false claims, interception and misappropriation.

4. Improve the level of rural financial services.

Increase rural financial policy support, continue to increase rural credit investment, and ensure that the growth rate of agricultural-related loans from banking financial institutions is higher than the average growth rate of all loans.

Improve tax incentive policies for agricultural-related loans, improve the assessment and evaluation methods for financial institutions’ county financial services, and guide county banking financial institutions to strengthen rural credit services.

Vigorously promote the construction of rural credit system and improve the credit evaluation mechanism of rural households.

Deepen the reform of rural credit cooperatives and stabilize the legal person status of county (city) rural credit cooperatives.

Develop diversified rural financial institutions, encourage private capital to enter the rural financial services field, and support commercial banks in setting up village banks in counties in central and western regions.

Develop rural financial mutual aid organizations in an orderly manner, and guide farmers' professional cooperatives to carry out credit cooperation in a standardized manner.
