Chapter 7 of the "Farmers' Professional Cooperatives Law" stipulates support policies and measures to support the development of farmers' professional cooperatives, and clarifies four support methods: industrial policy preference, fiscal support, financial support, and tax incentives.
(1) Industrial policy tilt.
Article 49 of the "Farmers' Professional Cooperatives Law" stipulates that construction projects supported by the state for the development of agriculture and rural economy may be entrusted and arranged to be implemented by qualified farmers' professional cooperatives. As market operators, farmers' professional cooperatives should be given industrial policy support due to their weak competitiveness, and regard cooperatives as an important aspect of the implementation of the national agricultural support and protection system. Qualified farmers' professional cooperatives can submit project applications to the project authorities in accordance with the requirements of the project guidelines of relevant government departments, and they will be implemented after approval by the project authorities.
(2) Financial support.
Article 50 of the "Farmers' Professional Cooperatives Law". The central and local finances should separately allocate funds to support farmers' professional cooperatives in providing information, training, agricultural product quality standards and certification, agricultural production infrastructure construction, marketing and technology promotion and other services. Priority support will be given to farmers' professional cooperatives in ethnic minority areas, remote areas and poverty-stricken areas, as well as farmers' professional cooperatives that produce important agricultural products urgently needed by the country and society. At present, the economic strength of my country's farmers' professional cooperatives is not strong, and their self-accumulation ability is weak. Financial support for professional cooperatives means directly supporting farmers, agriculture, and rural areas.
(3) Financial support.
Article 51 of the "Farmers' Professional Cooperatives Law" stipulates that national policy financial institutions and commercial financial institutions should adopt various forms to provide financial services to farmers' professional cooperatives. Specific support policies are stipulated by the State Council. (4) Tax incentives.
As independent rural production and operation organizations, farmers' professional cooperatives can enjoy the country's existing preferential tax policies to support agricultural development. Article 52 of the "Farmers' Professional Cooperatives Law" stipulates that farmers' professional cooperatives enjoy the state's stipulates corresponding tax incentives for agricultural production, processing, circulation, services and other agricultural-related economic activities. Other preferential tax policies to support the development of farmers' professional cooperatives shall be prescribed by the State Council.
