Agricultural supply side structural reform facing what difficulties? When accepting a reporter’s question, Dai Guizhaou grimly, our province agricultural supply side structural reforms, the main challenge is the “four down” -

The structure of agricultural industry system is not good. Related to the industrial structure, product structure and regional structure imbalance, the prices of main agricultural products in recent years has been low, some agricultural products are difficult to sell “phenomenon, resulting in farmers increasing output without increasing.

The agricultural product market competitiveness is not strong. The deep processing capacity of agricultural products is weak, in the low-end industrial chain, industrial chain is short, low added value, in the country known brand products rarely.

Industrial integration mechanism is not perfect. The rural 123 industry integration is still in the primary stage, the leading role of new business entities failed to give full play to the number of new occupation farmer problems, interests connection mechanism of agricultural industrialization is not perfect.

Production cost is not low. The high cost of agricultural labor, agricultural infrastructure is weak, resource and environmental constraints, moderate scale development lags behind, the development of agricultural social service system is slow, cost reduction is very difficult.

A slowdown in the increase of farmers’ income. The first three quarters of 2016, the province’s rural residents per capita disposable income of 8603 yuan, an increase of 8.9%, into the single digit growth interval. Subject to downward pressure on the economy, the wage income of the farmers lack of growth momentum; agricultural disaster, farmers operating income decreased; policies to help farmers increase income diminishing marginal effects; the proportion of property income of farmers is still small.

Food production must be stable

Stable production capacity, reduce cost, make a short board, will be the future to focus on the three. Dai Guizhou pointed out that the current society has a “food clearance theory”, should be vigilant. He said that in recent years, although China’s grain reached a record high, mainly corn and other grains backlog serious, especially the backlog of more than 200 million tons of corn. With the further increase of China’s population, as well as a large number of farmers to promote urbanization, they by food producers to consumers, the future will further aggravate the contradiction between supply and demand of grain. We must resolutely implement the “grain for” “grain for technology” strategy, can take the initiative to reduce grain yield, but the grain production capacity must be stable.

Our province is a major agricultural province, is also a big province of grain, this point can not forget at any time. “To solid food, and by extension, feed.” He said, will continue to implement the rice industry promotion plan, promote the construction of food industry with advantage. Based on the consolidation of Xiangyang city on the hundreds of billions of pounds of food, mainly to support Jingzhou create the total grain production of billions of pounds of big city. To reduce the low efficiency of cotton, rice and maize planting area to expand. To promote the tea food product structure to the shortage of product market regulation, to adjust the quality characteristics of products. To accelerate the development of green ecological agriculture, improving the quality and safety of agricultural products, let the people eat well, eat at ease.
