Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: The investment demand for agriculture and rural areas in the next 5 to 10 years is nearly 15 trillion yuan

2023 is the starting year to accelerate the construction of an agricultural power, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will adhere to the food production as the primary task of "agriculture, rural areas" work, with a new round of 100 billion kilograms of food production capacity to improve the action as a starting point, to ensure that the grain area is stable at more than 1.77 billion mu, and strive to increase, to ensure that food production continues to remain at more than 1.3 trillion kilograms, and strive to increase production. Do all you can to secure and stabilize the Chinese rice bowl.

At the same time, Tang Renjian said that "agriculture, rural areas" involve many industries, wide fields and large groups, and in expanding domestic demand and building a new development pattern, there is a very broad space and potential to be tapped. With the growth of farmers' income and the upgrading of rural consumption, it is expected that there will be an additional consumption demand of about 2 trillion yuan per year. In the next five to 10 years, the investment demand for high-standard farmland and facility agriculture will reach nearly 15 trillion yuan.

In 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will continue to make efforts to comprehensively promote rural revitalization and accelerate the construction of an agricultural power, especially in accelerating the activation of the rural market and releasing the consumption potential of farmers, and take more practical and hard measures to smooth the urban-rural circulation of industry and agriculture and promote the domestic cycle.

Improve supply and expand consumption. Efforts should be made from the supply side and distribution channels to expand the production of green, organic, geographical indications and famous, special and high-quality new agricultural products, strive to improve the hard facilities for rural consumption and optimize the soft environment, expand the coverage of e-commerce and logistics and express delivery in rural areas, so that agricultural products "go up smoothly" and industrial products "go down smoothly", and promote the upgrading of urban food consumption and the growth of rural durable goods consumption.

We will boost investment in development. We will continue to strengthen the construction of high-standard farmland, vigorously develop modern facility agriculture, develop a number of storage and preservation facilities in producing areas, cold chain distribution centers, and large cold chain logistics bases, and continue to improve rural conditions such as water, electricity, gas, and transportation, so as to expand effective investment in agriculture and rural areas to fuel economic growth.

Developing industries to help increase agricultural incomes. We will guide local governments to strengthen leading markets, replenish chains, develop business forms, and develop brand names. We will expand the processing and circulation of agricultural products, promote the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, vigorously develop rural e-commerce, accelerate the construction of modern agricultural parks, and continue to expand channels for farmers to increase their incomes and become richer.

The strong signal of strengthening agriculture has been issued. We will anchor this goal in systematic planning, pay close attention to research and formulate plans to accelerate the construction of an agricultural power, maintain the two bottom lines of ensuring food security and preventing large-scale return to poverty at a higher level, promote rural development, rural construction and rural governance with high quality, pioneer and innovate the implementation of the two-wheel drive of scientific and technological reform, and constantly create a new era and a new journey for the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers
