Improve quality and efficiency, and better drive farmers to increase their income.

    The government work report has devoted a section to the deployment of "building a strong agricultural province at a high level", with emphasis on comprehensively improving the development level of rural industries. Industrial revitalization is the top priority of rural revitalization. How to stimulate the development momentum of rural industries, how to improve the quality and efficiency of rural industries, and better drive farmers to increase their income, the deputies launched a hot discussion on this.

    Chain development, classified policy living industry

    "We will profoundly understand and grasp the major task of" going ahead in promoting agricultural modernization ",strive to make key breakthroughs and take the lead in building a strong agricultural province at a high level, and effectively accelerate agricultural modernization with industrial revitalization." Yang Yuanchao, deputy to the Provincial People’s Congress, deputy secretary of Suining County Committee and county magistrate, said that as a traditional agricultural county, Suining will adhere to chain development, closely follow the construction of the whole industrial chain of high-quality grain, green vegetables, fine fruit industry, ecological meat and poultry, vigorously implement the "one after another" project to attract and attack, and strive to reach 56 leading agricultural enterprises at or above the municipal level this year, and the annual sales revenue of agricultural product processing enterprises will exceed 12 billion yuan. Adhere to the characteristic development, continuously amplify the characteristic brand effects such as Suining Rice, Suining Cuisine and Nanxu Suli, focus on improving the added value and market competitiveness of agricultural products, and make every effort to promote the upgrading of "small specialty" into "big cluster". At the same time, adhere to the integrated development, accelerate the deep integration of agriculture with tourism, culture, education and health care, promote the horizontal expansion of rural industries, vigorously develop leisure sightseeing agriculture, and build a high-standard demonstration zone for leisure agriculture and tourism in the whole basin of the old Yellow River.

    "Building a land of fish and rice in the new era is the basis for our province’s agriculture to continue to be at the forefront in high-quality development, and to achieve strong agriculture, beautiful countryside and rich farmers. The core content is to promote the rapid development of rural industries and the deep integration of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income." Zhou Zhiguo, a member of the CPPCC Provincial Committee, a professor at the Agricultural College of Nanjing Agricultural University and the president of the intellectual association outside the school, said that to promote the high-quality and sustainable development of rural industries, we should focus on agricultural scientific and technological innovation and make classified policies according to the characteristics of agricultural industrial models. For the agricultural industry with advantages and characteristics, we should do a good job of "local products" according to local conditions, and firmly grasp the right to speak such as quality standards and product pricing of characteristic agricultural products; For the high-efficiency agricultural industry, it is necessary to implement the development model of "moderate scale+improving quality and increasing efficiency" to continuously stabilize the high efficiency of the industry; For the traditional industries of bulk agricultural products such as grain related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, we should actively promote the development model of "product subsidy+bottom protection" to ensure safe supply.

    Driven by innovation, science and technology are empowered and resilient.

    Science and technology are the primary productive forces. "The development of agricultural industry should be transformed from resource-driven to innovation-driven." Yi Zhongyi, member of the CPPCC, president of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and secretary of the Party Committee, believes that the development of agriculture and rural areas depends on the support of scientific and technological elements. The contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress in Jiangsu has exceeded 72%. At this stage, we should focus on the future development direction of agricultural science and technology, that is, greening and intelligence. He analyzed that the development of agricultural technology should start from three aspects: seeds, cultivated land and equipment, integrate agricultural science and technology innovation resources, and open up agricultural innovation chain. To fight a tough battle in agriculture, we need to work hard in the field of basic research. Future agricultural development needs the combination of digital technology and modern biotechnology, scene-driven innovation, and technical solutions for the whole industry chain. At the same time, we should further accelerate the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements. "At present, there is still a disconnect between technological innovation and demand. It is suggested that a public welfare service system should be established to encourage scientific and technological personnel over 50 years old in colleges and universities to take root in front-line service production; Encourage the high-quality innovative resources of colleges and universities to flow to agricultural production areas and enterprises through intellectual property licensing, technology pricing and shareholding, and co-construction of industrial research institutes; Through mergers and acquisitions, joint-stock cooperation, etc., we will vigorously cultivate 5-6 large-scale agricultural leading enterprises and play a key core role in leading the development of Jiangsu’s agricultural industry. "

    "We should strengthen the key core technologies of agriculture and promote the development of smart agriculture." Cao Lihong, member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the R&D, production, popularization and application of intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment are the "golden keys" to solve the problem of the development of smart agriculture. At present, intelligent agricultural machinery belongs to the category of new manufacturing industry, and its popularization and application are irresistible, but its application in agriculture is not paid enough attention. She suggested to carry out an integrated pilot project of R&D, manufacturing, promotion and application of agricultural machinery and equipment, upgrade the stability and reliability of integrated circuits, improve the adaptability in agricultural production, and expand the application and promotion scope of intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment through technological upgrading and cost control.

    Build a strong platform and improve the supporting strong system

    To improve the quality and efficiency of rural industries, we need not only point strength, but also platform support. How to further gather modern production factors and advantageous industries, stimulate the innovation vitality of business entities and improve their competitiveness? Yang Weidong, deputy of the Provincial People’s Congress and chairman of Huashe Design Group Co., Ltd., suggested building a modern agricultural complex. "Modern agricultural complex is an advanced form and upgraded version of modern agricultural park development, and it is an innovative carrier and comprehensive solution for the development of modern agriculture in China." Yang Weidong said that during the investigation, it was found that there was a lack of new planning policies and planning basis in the construction of the complex, and there were still problems such as bottlenecks in land use planning and system, and insufficient financial support. He suggested that the development of agricultural complex should be included in the medium-and long-term development plan of our province, and agricultural complex should be regarded as an important channel and carrier for small farmers to enter modern agriculture, and normative guiding opinions should be formulated to revitalize rural stock construction land, as well as supporting policies to accelerate the development of agricultural complex.

    An efficient and smooth modern circulation system of agricultural products is of great significance to promoting the structural reform of the supply side of agricultural products and expanding effective supply, and is of great benefit to the development of related industries. "We will give full play to the circulation advantages of supply and marketing cooperatives and accelerate the construction of a business service circulation system that is compatible with the modern agricultural industrial system and production system." Zhang Jianjun, member of the CPPCC Provincial Committee and director of the Board of Directors of the Provincial Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, said that the platform construction will be highlighted, resources will be integrated as a whole around the requirements of building a county-level commercial system, a direct supply and distribution network of agricultural products covering the whole province will be built, and a standardized and traceable direct supply and distribution system of agricultural products will be built from the farm head to the dining table. Highlight the docking of production and marketing, continue to carry out the docking of agricultural supermarkets, agricultural schools and agricultural enterprises, and run various exhibition and sales activities well. In 2024, it is planned to realize the sales of agricultural products of 320 billion yuan. At the same time, we will highlight consumer assistance, do a good job in the construction and operation of special counters in consumer assistance museums, and strengthen the production and marketing docking with rural revitalization areas in the province and counterpart support and cooperation areas in our province. In 2024, we plan to help counterpart support and cooperation areas sell agricultural products of more than 420 million yuan. (Yan Ying, Cheng Xiaolin, Mei Jianfei)
