Cctv newsAt 10: 00 on April 20th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the operation of agriculture and rural economy in the first quarter of 2023 and answer questions from reporters.
Zeng Yande, chief agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and director of the Development Planning Department, said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is working with relevant departments to strengthen systematic planning and scientific and orderly progress in implementing the spirit of the 20th Party Congress and the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. This year and in the future, to accelerate the construction of an agricultural power, we should focus on the following aspects:
First, strengthen the top-level design. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader proposed to formulate a plan to accelerate the construction of an agricultural power. This important directive requirement embodies two connotations: First, speed up. The construction of a strong agricultural country started late and the foundation is weak, so it is necessary to accelerate and intensify the promotion. The other is planning. The agricultural power is deployed by planning, not only to plan the recent key tasks, but also to plan the long-term development priorities. At present, efforts are being made to formulate plans to accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural country, and to clarify the thinking objectives, key tasks and safeguard measures.
Second, we must focus on key efforts. Summarizing the universal laws of the world’s agricultural powers, based on China’s national conditions and agricultural conditions, the key points of promoting the construction of an agricultural power are: promoting the comprehensive strengthening of cultivated land protection, promoting breakthroughs in all fields of agricultural science and technology equipment, promoting the transformation of the whole process of agricultural green development, promoting the coverage of all links of agricultural socialized services, and promoting the upgrading of the whole chain of agricultural industry. At the same time, it is necessary to build a strong agricultural country to promote the construction of livable and suitable industries and beautiful rural areas, and promote the common prosperity of farmers and rural areas.
Third, strengthen policy support. It is necessary to plan a number of major policies, major projects and major actions around the objectives, tasks and key points of accelerating the construction of an agricultural power, focus on key points, gather together, and promote complete agricultural infrastructure, upgrading technical equipment, and improving the industrial chain.
Fourth, work together to advance. Building an agricultural power involves many aspects and levels, and it needs to be coordinated and promoted in a coordinated manner. For related tasks, it is necessary to list the tasks and implement the responsibilities to relevant departments, and promote them year by year and implement them item by item. It is necessary to establish a linkage mechanism from top to bottom, and the responsibility should go to provinces, cities and counties.
We firmly believe that with the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the joint efforts of all levels and departments, and the active participation of hundreds of millions of farmers, the construction of an agricultural power will certainly make substantial progress and catch up with the pace of building a socialist modern power.
