"Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" Promotes Agricultural Modernization and "Enters the Army" from Four Aspects

[China Agricultural Machinery Industry News] Hu Hengyang, inspector of the Rural Economic Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China will vigorously promote agricultural modernization, ensure the construction of 800 million mu of high-standard farmland, transform 4,300 large-scale irrigation districts, and upgrade agricultural mechanization. More than 70%, at the same time made breakthroughs in the construction of modern agricultural products logistics system.

Hu Hengyang said at the "2016 First China Agriculture (Boao) Forum" that the "13th Five-Year Plan" is a key stage for building a well-off society in an all-round way. Promoting agricultural modernization is an inevitable requirement for building a well-off society in an all-round way. It is now clear that we must advance from four aspects.

The first is to speed up the construction of high-standard farmland. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the finance, land and agriculture departments have integrated about 130 billion yuan to build over 400 million mu of high-standard farmland, with an average yield increase of 10% to 20% per mu. By 2020, 800 million mu will be built to secure 1 billion mu of high standard farmland.

The second is to accelerate the construction of high-standard water conservancy. The total area of ​​large-scale irrigation districts in China is not large, but it produces one-quarter of the country's grain and contributes one-third of the total agricultural output value. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, we will transform 4,300 large-scale irrigation districts and more than 2,500 medium-sized irrigation districts to develop an effective irrigation area of ​​1 billion mu.

The third is to improve the level of agricultural mechanization. At present, in the cotton industry in Xinjiang, due to the low degree of mechanization, the cost of only one part of cotton mining accounts for 40% of the total cotton production. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the whole process of mechanization will be promoted in the pre-production and post-production of crops. By 2020, the comprehensive mechanization of agriculture will reach over 70%.

The fourth is to speed up the construction of a modern logistics system for agricultural products. In recent years, China has built logistics channels in the northeast, Bohai Rim and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In the next step, we will focus on supporting the construction of the cold chain logistics system for agricultural products, adapting to the transportation needs of a large number of fresh agricultural products, and supporting a number of large-scale cold chain logistics enterprises.
