Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: It will take promoting farmers’ employment and increasing income as the basic orientation of rural industry development.

CCTV News:On the afternoon of June 27th, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee held a series of press conferences on the theme of "China this decade". Deng Xiaogang, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Hong Tianyun, Deputy Director of the National Rural Revitalization Bureau, and Zeng Yande, Chief Agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and Director of the Development Planning Department, introduced the situation of rural revitalization in the new era and answered questions from reporters.

Deng Xiaogang, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in the past ten years, agricultural and rural departments at all levels have made every effort to promote the development of rural industries and consolidate the material foundation for rural revitalization, and achieved remarkable results.

In the past ten years, the processing and circulation of agricultural products has been accelerated. A total of 156,000 primary processing facilities and more than 50,000 cold storage and fresh-keeping facilities have been built. The conversion rate of agricultural products processing reached 70.6%, and the operating income of agricultural products processing enterprises was nearly 25 trillion yuan.

In the past decade, rural leisure tourism has developed steadily. More than 1,000 boutique routes were introduced, with more than 300,000 leisure farms, sightseeing agricultural parks and farmhouses nationwide, and the annual operating income exceeded 700 billion yuan.

In the past ten years, new industries and formats in rural areas have flourished. There are more than 30,000 agricultural-related e-commerce, more than 2 trillion yuan in rural online retail sales and more than 420 billion yuan in online retail sales of agricultural products. Created a number of "township name" and "local name" brands.

In the past ten years, the integration and development of rural industries has gradually become a trend. A total of 140 industrial clusters with advantages and characteristics, 250 national modern agricultural industrial parks, more than 1,300 strong agricultural industrial towns and more than 3,600 "one village, one product" demonstration villages and towns have been created.

In the past ten years, rural innovation and entrepreneurship have become increasingly active. Nearly 2,200 rural innovation and entrepreneurship parks and incubation training bases have been built, and a total of 11.2 million people have returned to their hometowns to innovate and start businesses, with an average of 6-mdash; 7 people have stable employment, 15-mdash; 20 people are employed flexibly.

Deng Xiaogang introduced that the next step will be to promote farmers’ employment and increase income as the basic orientation of rural industrial development, and make a fuss about expanding various functions of agriculture and tapping the diversified values of rural areas, leaving more employment opportunities and value-added benefits of industrial chains to farmers. The key point is to promote the "four industries".

What are the "four industries"? First, develop industries that enrich the people and continuously promote the upgrading of rural industries. The second is to promote rural entrepreneurship, bring employment through entrepreneurship and increase income through employment. The third is to guide investment and promote farmers to get rich together. The fourth is to promote farmers’ employment, so that farmers can find jobs nearby at home, and at the same time, continue to support and guide farmers to go out to work and find jobs.
