Nanchang, January 18 (Reporter Wang Haoyang) How to make rural specialty foods bigger market? How to open up the "last mile" of rural logistics? How can fiscal credit for agricultural benefits be more effectively supported in agricultural operations? How to ensure that farmers' medical care prevents them from returning to poverty due to illness? At the scene of the two sessions of the Jiangxi Provincial People's Congress that is currently being held, members of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have "taken the pulse" of rural revitalization and have put forward "good recipes" for connecting the "local atmosphere," making up for the "shortcomings," and seeking practical results.
Industrial prosperity is the cornerstone of rural revitalization. Jiangxi has a unique ecological environment, producing a large number of high-quality agricultural products and characteristic local foods. Some local specialty foods have played a positive role in the revitalization of local rural industries and the prosperity of farmers, but most of them have not formed a brand, and it is difficult to produce greater economic benefits.

Specialty foods have strong vitality in the local area, suitable for local production and processing in rural areas, and collective production can be organized by using professional cooperatives and other business methods to build specialty foods into industries rich in local characteristics. The Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Jiusan Society suggested that the rural industrial development plan could be prepared as soon as possible in light of actual conditions, and specialty foods should be included in the key industries of rural industrial development.
The proposal said that the integrated development of the specialty food industry should be guided, the mechanization of large-scale production of specialty food should be promoted, the financing channels of operators should be broadened, the scale of the industry should be expanded, the special food industry should be deeply integrated with global tourism, and the "eating", "shopping" and "entertainment" of tourism should be used to drive the development of the specialty food industry.
At present, the rise of "live streaming with goods" e-commerce has brought new opportunities to the development of the rural economy, and farmers can directly sell fruits and vegetables, grain and oil, meat and eggs, seedlings, handicrafts and other rural native products at home, effectively releasing the space for rural industrial development. However, at present, the dilemma of remote rural logistics "to the village to the town" and "agricultural products are difficult to sell" has yet to be solved, and the "last kilometer" has not yet been opened.
The Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the China Democratic League suggested that a fourth-party logistics other than buyers (first-party logistics), sellers (second-party logistics), and distribution enterprises (third-party logistics) be established, and the decentralized commodity flow logistics should be integrated into one, sharing a unified distribution system for people, vehicles and warehouses, opening up two-way circulation channels between urban and rural areas, realizing efficient distribution of express logistics to create a unique "Internet + fourth-party logistics" supply and marketing collection and distribution system, forming a network pattern of "buying the whole country, selling the whole country, large market, and large circulation".
The fourth-party collection and distribution outlets should cover the countryside, access a unified information management system, and put intelligent express delivery cabinets in all communities, communities, townships, and village committees in the county, forming an open rural delivery logistics system that benefits the people, intensive sharing, safety and efficiency, and two-way smoothness, so as to realize that there are outlets in the townships and villages, services in villages and villages, agricultural products can be transported, and consumer goods can be imported, so as to better meet the needs of rural production and life and consumption upgrading.
According to the proposal, it is also possible to rely on the "supply and marketing e-home" and "poverty alleviation 832" platforms to closely contact various poverty alleviation villages, village collective economic cooperatives, agricultural development companies, and breeding bases, and actively carry out consumer support. Promote order agriculture, implement the underwriting model, and truly complete the collection, collation, induction and analysis of agricultural and sideline products and user data through the integration of online and offline systems, promote scientific planting, and improve the income of farmers.

Cultivating and expanding new agricultural business entities is a major decision-making deployment for the comprehensive implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. In recent years, the "Financial Benefit to Farmers Credit Pass" has alleviated the problem of "difficult and expensive financing" for new agricultural business entities to a certain extent. However, it also faces a number of problems that need to be solved urgently.
The Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Peasants' and Workers' Party proposed that the term of the "one loan a year" of Huinong Credit is too short, which does not match the characteristics of the agricultural production cycle and the long return cycle, some banks have the phenomenon of "reluctance to lend", the loan amount is difficult to meet the development needs of new agricultural business entities, and some local new agricultural business entities have more feedback and approval links, and the loan progress is slow, affecting normal agricultural production.
The Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Peasants' and Workers' Party suggested that it should follow the laws of agriculture and the law of the market, implement policies in different categories, appropriately extend the loan term, and set up a "flexible loan" system, and cooperative banks can innovate "installment" repayment methods according to their own actual conditions and market demand. Introduce third-party guarantee companies, explore "bank + insurance" joint loans, optimize and adjust the input of guarantee risk compensation, encourage banks to increase the amount of loan issuance, and fully guarantee the capital needs for the development and growth of new agricultural business entities.
On the road of rural revitalization, the vast number of rural doctors are the "health guardians" rooted in the countryside, and they are an important force to ensure that farmers do not return to poverty due to illness and promote rural revitalization. In recent years, the demand for rural medical and preventive health care has also been growing, and it is increasingly difficult for rural doctors to meet the growing demand for health care of rural residents due to the aging personnel structure, lack of professional skills and increased risk of practice.
The Jiangxi Provincial Committee for the Advancement of Democracy suggested that some prefectures and cities should be selected to take the lead in carrying out the pilot work of transforming rural doctors, refer to the assessment methods for the transfer of village cadres to careers, select the best in accordance with a certain proportion, and include them in the establishment management, so as to ensure that each administrative village clinic has at least 1 doctor and 1 nurse on staff. At the same time, the village-level clinic will be regarded as the dispatch agency of the township health center, implement integrated management, standardize the "eight unified" management system of personnel, wages, finance, training, business, drugs, equipment, and assessment, form a work pattern of unified deployment, horizontal exchange and training, and vertical performance appraisal of medical institutions at the township and village levels, and truly realize the goal of building a medical association integrating counties, townships and villages.
In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the training of rural doctors' knowledge and skills and the introduction of talents, and the county-level governments have signed targeted general practitioner training agreements with colleges and universities, prepared training plans according to the needs of rural doctors, and implemented the "county to the county" for students. Train qualified general practitioners to be recruited immediately, allow graduates of medical colleges and universities to apply for rural doctor practice registration without examination; give full play to the advantages of full coverage of "Internet + medical" telemedicine service points, use online teaching to build a learning platform for rural doctors, and continuously improve the level of rural diagnosis and treatment and service capabilities through remote network diagnosis with provincial and municipal top three hospitals, so as to better protect the health of rural people.
