Zeng Yande, Chief Agronomist and Director of the Department of Development Planning of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media. Today is the great cold, and the agricultural proverb says that "after the great cold is a new year", it will soon be a new year of solar cycle. Below I will briefly report on the operation of the agricultural and rural economy in 2021.
Last year was the first year in which the focus of the three rural work shifted to comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. In the face of a complex and severe development environment, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs conscientiously implements the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech and important instructions, implements the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, solidly promotes the work of the three rural areas, fully completes the annual goals and tasks, and achieves a good start in the "14th Five-Year Plan". It can be summarized as: keeping the "two bottom lines", achieving "two new upgrades", and achieving "three new progress".
First, grain and agricultural production have been bumper again, and the foundation for ensuring national food security has been consolidated and improved. Grain production reached a record high. The area sown to grain was 1.764 billion mu, an increase of 12.95 million mu over the previous year, and the output was 1,365.7 billion jin, an increase of 26.7 billion jin on a high base. Pig production has fully recovered. By the end of 2021, the national breeding sow stock will be 43.29 million, and the production capacity will return to a reasonable level. The annual pork output was 52.96 million tons, an increase of 28.8% over the previous year, basically reaching the level of historical normal years. At the same time, the output of beef and mutton increased by 4.1% over the previous year, the output of milk increased by 7.1%, and the output of aquatic products increased by more than 2%. Fruits and vegetables are well supplied. It is estimated that the annual vegetable area is 320 million mu, the output is 750 million tons, and the fruit output is more than 290 million tons, and the market supply is guaranteed.
Second, the results of poverty alleviation have been consolidated, and the foundation for maintaining the bottom line of not returning to poverty on a large scale has been consolidated. The monitoring help is precise and powerful. People who are prone to returning to poverty and households with sudden serious difficulties are all included in the scope of monitoring, and support measures are implemented to ensure that risks are eliminated within a period of time. The bridging policy is all in place. All the convergence policies determined at the central level have been introduced, 160 national rural revitalization key counties have been identified and support policies have been introduced, follow-up support for relocation, east-west cooperation, and fixed-point assistance have been deepened, and the action of "ten thousand enterprises and ten thousand villages" has been launched. The effect of industrial employment is obvious. The proportion of the central financial convergence to promote rural revitalization subsidy funds for industrial development exceeds 50%, and each poverty alleviation county has formed 2-3 characteristic leading industries with outstanding advantages and strong driving force, and the per capita industrial income of the poverty alleviation population has increased by more than 2200 yuan. The scale of poverty alleviation labor reached 31.45 million, exceeding the annual target task.
Third, focus on the "two key points" and achieve new improvements in comprehensive agricultural production capacity. The revitalization of the seed industry was fully launched. The largest census of agricultural germplasm resources in the history of New China has been carried out, and more than 26,000 crop resources and more than 40,000 aquatic germplasm resources have been newly collected, and more than 99.7% of the administrative village livestock and poultry resources census has been completed. Launched the implementation of a new round of genetic improvement plan, independently bred 3 new breeds of white-feathered broilers, and made important progress in independent innovation in the seed industry. The construction of farmland protection has been continuously strengthened. 105 million mu of high-standard farmland has been newly built, and 72 million mu of black soil conservation tillage in Northeast China has been implemented. At the same time, the transformation and upgrading of agricultural machinery and equipment has taken a new step, and it is expected that the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting will exceed 72%, and the loss rate of the three staple grain machines will be reduced by an average of 1 percentage point.
Fourth, broaden the channels for increasing employment and income in the industry, and achieve a new improvement in the level of peasant income. Rural industries have accelerated their development. It is estimated that the operating income of the agricultural product processing industry above designated size will exceed 17.7 trillion yuan, with a growth rate of more than 10%, the operating income of rural leisure tourism will increase steadily, an increase of about 100 billion yuan over the previous year, and the retail sales of agricultural products will grow steadily. Employment and entrepreneurship momentum is good. The total number of migrant workers in the whole year was more than 290 million, an increase of 2.4% over the previous year. 50 national modern agricultural industrial parks, 50 advantageous industrial clusters, and 298 strong agricultural towns have been newly created, driving more than 15.6 million returned migrant workers to stable employment. Driven by industry and employment and entrepreneurship, the per capita disposable income of rural residents reached 18931 yuan in the whole year, an actual increase of 9.7%, which was 2.6 percentage points higher than the growth rate of urban residents' income. At the same time, the effective investment in agriculture and rural areas has been expanding, and the fixed asset investment in the primary industry is 1,427.5 billion yuan, an increase of 9.1% over the previous year.
Fifth, strengthen overall planning and coordination, and comprehensively promote new progress in rural revitalization. The planning layout blueprint is drawn. The "14th Five-Year Plan" to Promote Agricultural and Rural Modernization was issued, and 14 industry plans and 16 construction plans were formulated, depicting a beautiful picture of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and accelerating agricultural and rural modernization. Rural construction has been carried out in an orderly manner. Formulate the implementation plan of the rural construction action, launch the five-year action of improving the rural human settlement environment, the national rural sanitation toilet penetration rate is expected to exceed 70%, and the proportion of natural villages where domestic garbage is collected and transported is stablely maintained at more than 90%. Rural governance has been steadily strengthened. 100 demonstration townships and 994 demonstration villages have been newly created, and the experience of the points system and the list system has been comprehensively promoted, and the rural society has maintained harmony and stability.
Sixth, focus on key forces, and make new progress in the green transformation of agriculture. Compile and implement the "14th Five-Year Plan" National Agricultural Green Development Plan to accelerate the green transformation of agriculture. The effect of the ban on fishing on the Yangtze River has begun to appear. Strengthen the resettlement guarantee for retired fishermen, nearly 16,000 "fishermen", illegal fishing has been initially curbed, and the recovery trend of aquatic biological resources in the Yangtze River has improved. Solid progress in the control of agricultural non-point source pollution。 The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has been negative for five consecutive years, and the comprehensive utilization rate of crop straw, the recovery rate of agricultural film, and the comprehensive utilization rate of livestock and poultry manure are expected to exceed 88%, 80% and 76% respectively, an increase of 0.4, 1 and 1 percentage point over the previous year. The level of "three products and one standard" in agricultural production has steadily improved. Implement the action of cultivating agricultural varieties, improving quality, brand building and standardized production, newly certified 26,000 green, organic and geographical indication agricultural products, and the overall pass rate of agricultural product quality and safety monitoring is 97.6%.
Seventh, give prominence to system integration and make new progress in rural reform. The integration and deepening of key reform tasks. Complete the phased tasks of the reform of the rural collective property rights system, and steadily and prudently promote the reform of the rural contract land and residential land system. The main body of new agricultural operations has developed and grown. Family farms and farmers' cooperatives reached 3.9 million and 2.2 million, respectively. Agricultural socialization services cover an area of 1.67 billion mu and drive more than 78 million small farmers. Trade in agricultural products grew rapidly. The total import and export volume reached 304.17 billion US dollars, an increase of 23.2% over the previous year. Among them, imports were 219.82 billion US dollars, an increase of 28.6% over the previous year, and exports were 84.35 billion US dollars, an increase of 10.9% over the previous year.
Overall, the reform and development of agriculture and rural areas in 2021 has achieved remarkable results, which has played an important role in opening a new situation, responding to changes, and stabilizing the overall situation. This year is the year of the implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will conscientiously implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the principle of taking the lead in steady words, seek progress in stability, firmly adhere to the two bottom lines of ensuring national food security and not returning to poverty on a large scale, solidly and orderly promote the key work of rural development, rural construction, and rural governance, and greet the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Party with practical actions.
Ten days is the Lunar New Year, take this opportunity to pay tribute to all media friends, thank you for your attention and support for agricultural and rural work, and wish everyone a happy new year and smooth work!
Next, my colleagues and I would like to answer your questions, thank you.
2022-01-20 15:10:42
Xing Huina:
Thank you Chief Agronomist Zeng Yande for your introduction. I would now like to open the floor for questions, and please inform your news organization before asking questions.

CCTV reporter asks questions (Photo by Liu Jian)
CCTV reporter:
There are many major events and important events on the mainland this year, and it is particularly important to stabilize the basic agricultural plan and do a good job in the work of the three rural areas. What are the overall considerations for this year's rural work? Thank you.
2022-01-20 15:22:52
Zeng Yande:
As you said, there are indeed many major events and important events on the mainland this year, but there are also many risks and challenges, and it is necessary to ram the ballast stone of the three rural areas in a down-to-earth manner to ensure that agricultural production is stable and increased, peasants are steadily increasing their incomes, and rural areas are stable and peaceful.
We proposed that in the layout of the work, the focus should be on the "four stability and four mentions". First, grain production is stable and the area is increased. It is necessary to stabilize rations and corn, expand beans and oilseed rape, lay a solid foundation for agricultural machinery for seeds and cultivated land, and steadily improve the comprehensive agricultural production capacity. The second is to stabilize the foundation of industrial development and improve efficiency. It is necessary to stabilize policies, strengthen facilities, extend the industrial chain, expand the multiple functions of agriculture, develop diversified values in rural areas, and promote high-quality and efficient agriculture. The third is to steadily improve the quality of rural construction. It is necessary to persist in subordinating quantity to quality and progress to practical results, seek goodness rather than speed, solidly and steadily promote rural construction, and promote livability and workability in rural areas. Fourth, the steady momentum of peasant income has increased its stamina. Adhere to the industry-driven, employment and entrepreneurship-driven, reform-driven, stabilize the good momentum of increasing peasants' income, resolutely put an end to the phenomenon of large-scale return to poverty, and promote the prosperity of farmers.
In terms of work priorities, we proposed to grasp the "four important things" and comprehensively promote the "six tasks."
Focusing on the two bottom lines of ensuring national food security and not returning to poverty on a large scale, we should do a good job in the "four important things". The first is to do everything possible to stabilize grain production. Strictly implement the requirements of the party and government sharing responsibilities, ensure the stability of the grain sown area, especially in the upcoming spring ploughing, we must implement key measures such as late sowing wheat to promote the weak and strong, fight the hard battle of a bumper summer grain harvest, and ensure that the annual grain output remains above 1.3 trillion catties. The second is to overcome the difficulty of expanding soybean oil. Adhere to the simultaneous application of multiple oils and multiple measures, expand the planting of soybeans, and make overall plans for the production of oilseed rape, peanuts and other oilseeds. The third is to ensure the stable supply of "vegetable basket" products. Strengthen the construction of the northern facility vegetable and the southern vegetable transportation base, stabilize the basic production capacity of pigs, and at the same time grasp the production of other livestock, poultry, egg milk and aquatic products. The fourth is to continue to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation. The focus is on improving the monitoring and support mechanism for preventing the return to poverty, developing and expanding industries with special advantages and enriching the people, strengthening the employment assistance of the poverty alleviation labor force, and strengthening the support for the key counties and resettlement areas for the revitalization of the national countryside.
Focusing on the "three aspects" of rural development, rural construction and rural governance, we will comprehensively promote the "six tasks". First, we should earnestly lay a solid foundation for agricultural machinery for seed and arable land. Deeply implement the revitalization action of the seed industry, build 100 million mu of high-standard farmland, and step up efforts to promote agricultural machinery and equipment to make up for shortcomings. The second is to do a good job in rural characteristic industries. Build and strengthen industrial development platforms such as agricultural modernization demonstration zones and modern agricultural industrial parks, strengthen the construction of cold chain logistics facilities for the storage and preservation of agricultural products, and continue to do a good job in two "three products and one standard" work. The third is to comprehensively promote rural construction. Deeply implement the five-year action of improving the rural human settlement environment, steadily and orderly promote the rural toilet revolution, coordinate and promote the treatment of rural domestic garbage and sewage, and promote the improvement of infrastructure such as village group roads and rural water supply. The fourth is to highlight practical results to strengthen and improve rural governance. Focus on accelerating the promotion and use of governance methods such as the points system, the list system, and digitalization, and gradually promote the solution of problems such as high-priced dowries. Fifth, unremittingly promote the green development of agriculture. Focusing on the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins, promote the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution, continue to do a good job in banning fishing in the Yangtze River for ten years, and deeply implement the "three products and one standard" improvement action of agricultural production. Sixth, systematically plan to promote rural reform in the new stage. Steadily and prudently promote the reform of the "three plots of land" in rural areas, improve the modern agricultural management system, develop agricultural socialization services, and promote the organic connection between small farmers and modern agricultural development. Thank you.

Red Star News Reporter:
Everyone knows that the "rice bag" has a governor responsibility system, and the "vegetable basket" has a mayor responsibility system. How should we play a better role in the next step to promote stable production and supply? Thank you.

Tang Ke, Director general of the Department of Market and Informatization of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:
Thank you. As we all know, in 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs took the lead, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and other 10 member units of the "Vegetable Basket" Inter-ministerial Joint Conference on Food Management, according to the "Measures for the Assessment of the "Vegetable Basket" Mayor Responsibility System, the implementation of the "Vegetable Basket" Mayor Responsibility System in 36 cities directly under the Central Government, cities with separate planning and provincial capitals was evaluated for the second time. Generally speaking, the total production and supply of "vegetable basket" products in various cities is sufficient, the circulation system is sound and perfect, the quality and safety level is good, the ability to regulate and guarantee is gradually enhanced, and the citizens are more satisfied with the supply of "vegetable basket" products. However, some cities have also been exposed to the decline in self-sufficiency, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, extreme catastrophic weather, etc., and the short-term rise in the price of some "vegetable basket" varieties.
In the next step, we will further intensify our efforts to promote construction through examination and evaluation, supervise and urge 36 cities to tighten the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system, strengthen the construction of the "vegetable basket" project, keep an eye on important time points such as the Spring Festival, the Winter Olympics, and the "two sessions", and supervise and promote large and medium-sized cities to grasp the "vegetable basket" work well. The first is to inform the people's governments of various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) of the assessment results, praise the cities that have been excellent in the two consecutive assessments, give one-on-one feedback on the problems found, and require cities to combine the assessment opinions, carefully compare and inspect, clarify the rectification responsibilities, time limits and measures, effectively strengthen the construction of the "vegetable basket" project, and further promote the implementation of the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system. The second is to give full play to the role of the assessment baton, optimize and improve the content of the assessment, give more prominence to the production capacity and market regulation and control capacity building, put more emphasis on ensuring supply and stabilizing prices during important time periods, promote the improvement of the assessment incentive and constraint mechanism, and comprehensively promote the assessment of prefecture-level cities. The third is to give full play to the overall coordination role of the joint meeting, hold regular work meetings, timely carry out consultation analysis, information release, and joint response, and pay close attention to the "vegetable basket" work. Promote the improvement of provincial-level working mechanisms and policy systems, establish an inter-provincial emergency linkage mechanism, form a work pattern in which the government takes the lead, departments coordinate and cooperate, and society actively participates, and effectively does a good job in all aspects of the "vegetable basket". Thank you.

Question from a Reuters reporter (Photo by Liu Jian)
Reuters reporter:
There are two problems. First, China will expand soybean production in 2022, which is an important political task. However, in the main soybean and corn producing areas, farmers often choose between the two crops, how to ensure that the soybean area increases while the corn planting area does not decrease, whether the government considers the commercialization of genetically modified corn to solve the corresponding corn supply problem. The second question is about wheat, because wheat will be infected with vomitoxin, and the rainy season will lead to the late sowing of wheat in the new season, can you tell us about this year's wheat planting? Will this year's wheat production be affected? Thank you.
2022-01-20 15:34:08
Thank you for your question, the first question I will answer first, and the second question is for director Pan Wenbo of the Plantation Division. Thank you for your attention to the issue of genetic modification. To solve the problem of China's agricultural product supply, soybeans are a very important variety, from the perspective of transgenics, agricultural transgenic technology is an important aspect of the new generation of biological breeding technology, but also the most mature and widely used new technology. Regarding the application of GMOs in China, I would like to introduce you to three points.
First, genetically modified breeding is scientifically rigorous. In the field of agricultural transgenics, the mainland has established a set of independent research and development systems and biosecurity guarantee systems, and obtained a number of new strains with independent intellectual property rights and industrial application prospects, such as insect-resistant herbicide corn and herbicide-resistant soybeans.
Second, the management of genetically modified varieties is strictly regulated. Agricultural genetically modified organisms can only obtain safety certificates after passing scientific and legal evaluations. At the same time, it is necessary to carry out variety verification and obtain seed production and operation licenses in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Seed Law before production and planting can be produced.
Third, the pilot project of industrial application of transgenic varieties was carried out in an orderly manner. In order to solve the problems of grassland moth and grass pests currently faced in agricultural production, last year we carried out an industrialization pilot project of herbicide-tolerant transgenic soybeans and insect-resistant herbicide transgenic corn that have obtained production and application safety certificates, and the progress is relatively good. We talk about it better, at least three points can be shown: First, the pilot transgenic varieties have excellent characteristics and obvious advantages in cost saving and efficiency. The weeding effect of genetically modified soybeans is more than 95%, which can reduce the cost of weeding by 50% and increase yield by 12%. The control effect of genetically modified corn on the grassland nightcrawler can reach 95%, which greatly reduces the cost of insect control. At the same time, the content of mycotoxins in the grains of genetically modified corn is low and the quality is good. Second, the pilot of genetically modified soybeans and corn has no adverse effects on the production environment. Growing genetically modified maize reduces pesticide use and promotes biodiversity. The third is to implement the management of "unified seed supply, unified acquisition, and unified technical specifications" on a pilot basis, and regularly carry out inspection guidance and supervision and inspection to strictly prevent illegal proliferation.
At present, we are revising the regulations of four departments, including the Measures for the Approval of Major Crop Varieties, to clarify the relevant provisions on the industrialization and application of genetically modified crops. We will work with relevant departments to continue to promote the industrialization of genetically modified organisms in a sound and orderly manner based on the principles of respecting science, strict supervision, compliance with laws and regulations, and ensuring safety, and promote the high-quality development of the seed industry. Thank you.

Pan Wenbo (Photo by Xu Xiang)
Pan Wenbo, Director of the Department of Plantation Management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:
To supplement the problem you just mentioned about an increase in soybean area and a decrease in corn area. Soybeans and corn are dryland crops, one is legumes, the other is a grass family, under the condition of abundant cultivated land resources, the interannual rotation of the two crops is conducive to planting land and raising land, and is conducive to high yield and stable yield, but in the case of limited cultivated land resources, the two crops have the contradiction of competing for land, which is a practical problem and a problem. In order to promote the compatible development, coordinated development, and even mutual development of corn and soybeans, so that fish and bear paws can be obtained, now we must make a fuss about both incremental, and find ways in the farming system and planting mode. In recent years, various localities have carried out useful explorations and achieved gratifying results.
For example, since 2003, our ministry has organized a pilot project of soybean and corn strip composite planting, through changing the planting of single crops to high and low crops with inter-crop, changing the planting of equal rows to large and small ridge planting, changing crop continuous planting to inter-annual rotation, integrating the traditional inter-cropping technology with mechanized and standardized planting, so as to efficiently use light and temperature resources and give full play to the advantages of the side line. For example, two rows of corn between the four rows of soybeans, farmers say that the corn line is a side row, the plant is a single plant, the ventilation and light transmission conditions are very good, the corn basically does not reduce production, and the income is increased by one season of soybeans. For example, in 2021, the belt composite planting in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, the average spring corn yield of one mu of land can reach 802 kg, and the spring soybean yield of the set can reach 91 kg; the belt composite planting in Gaocheng, Hebei Province, the average summer corn of 1 mu of land can reach 517 kg, and the summer soybean can reach 102 kg. The average yield of soybeans in the country is about 130 kg. So the corn did not decrease, and an extra crop of soybeans was harvested.
According to our statistics, the national soybean and corn strip compound planting area in 2021 has reached more than 7 million mu, so this model has now basically matured. In the next step, we will further improve and improve the suitable varieties, suitable machinery, suitable herbicides, etc., to maximize the potential of this model. This is the most important technical measure promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs this year in expanding the production of soybean oilseeds. We strive to add 15 million mu of new area this year.
Just now you also mentioned the problem of wheat vomiting toxin, and also mentioned the problem of wheat production this year. The quality of wheat harvested in the summer last year was generally good, and the quality of wheat was affected by various factors such as pests and diseases, weather conditions during the harvest period, and so on. Last year, wheat stripe rust, red mildew prevention and control in a timely manner, good prevention and control effect, plus the middle and late weather is good for filling maturity, there is no "rotten rain", the overall quality of wheat is good. The proportion of first-class wheat in the main producing area of Anhui is more than 85%, and the market response can also be reflected, and the acquisition enthusiasm of processing enterprises is high and the purchase price is good. However, some areas along the river are the nests of wheat gibberellosis, that is, the perennial gibberellosis in these areas is relatively heavy, mainly affected by the local rainy and humid climate. Gibberellosis is severe, and vomitin may be more abundant. The area we monitored last year with a panicle rate of more than 30 percent of gibberellosis in this area was about 1 million mu, accounting for about 0.3 percent of the country's wheat area. This part of the wheat is basically a targeted purchase, mainly used for processing industrial alcohol, and has not entered the edible or feeding process.
With regard to this year's wheat production, there was a very serious autumn flood in the winter wheat area last year, and the wheat sowing period was generally delayed. The Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to it, and have promptly introduced targeted support policies, and various localities have taken extraordinary measures to go all out to grasp the autumn and winter plantings. According to the agricultural situation dispatch, although the sowing period of winter wheat is a little late, the area is basically implemented and basically stable. Grassroots comrades said that most of this year's wheat has been able to sow at full length, especially some dryland wheat that cannot be sown all year round has also been sown this year, and the seedlings are better, and the sowing of late wheat plots has increased the sowing volume. The temperature in November and December this year is generally high, so the pre-winter temperature is more, and the wheat grows better than expected before winter.
At present, the main problem is that the proportion of late-sown wheat is relatively large, and the growth of seedlings before winter is indeed weak. According to expert analysis, the growth period of wheat is relatively long, there is a lot of room for maneuver, in the past there were also times when the sowing period was delayed, as long as the sowing was carried out before winter, the management measures after the opening of spring could keep up, and there was still hope for a bumper harvest.
Just now, Chief Master Zeng said that today is a great cold, the agricultural proverb says "the great cold and the three whites are set to a good year," and it is a good omen that it snows on this day, but there is also a saying that "there are unexpected storms in the sky." We must firmly establish the idea of resisting disasters and winning a bumper harvest; in accordance with the requirements of the central authorities, we have already formulated a work plan and technical plan for a bumper harvest of grain and wheat in the summer; as soon as the spring begins, the agricultural and rural departments at all levels will throw down and suppress their strength, base themselves on the word "early," grasp the word "promotion," increase fattening, promote the weak and turn the strong, prevent diseases and control the grass, and promote the strongness of the grass. Every effort should be made to seize this year's bumper summer grain and wheat harvest and win the initiative for the stable development of grain throughout the year. Thank you.

Questions from reporters from China Agricultural Television Network (Photo by Liu Jian)
China Agricultural Television Network reporter:
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that farmland is farmland, and it must be good land. The key to building fertile land is to build high-standard farmland. How effective is the current construction of high-standard farmland? What are the considerations for 2022? Thank you.
2022-01-20 15:56:39
This question is for Director Guo Yongtian of the Department of Farmland to answer.
2022-01-20 15:56:53
Guo Yongtian (Photo by Xu Xiang)
Guo Yongtian, Director of the Department of Farmland Construction Management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:
You raised a question that is of great concern to everyone. In 2021, our ministry will conscientiously implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, focus on promoting the construction of 100 million mu of high-standard farmland, take the improvement of cultivated land quality and improve grain production capacity as the main goal, optimize the construction layout, and increase investment in many aspects. According to the latest dispatch situation, 105.51 million mu of high-standard farmland was built last year, and 28.25 million mu of high-efficiency water-saving irrigation was developed simultaneously. These two figures account for 105.5% and 188.3% of the annual construction target, respectively.
The construction of high-standard farmland has achieved very obvious results, and has played an important basic supporting role in mobilizing farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain and ensuring national food security. First, it has further consolidated the foundation of national food security. After completion, the agricultural production conditions of high-standard farmland have been significantly improved, the ability to resist and reduce disasters has been significantly improved, the production in the hard-hit areas has been reduced, the production in the lightly affected areas has been stabilized, and the production in the non-disaster-stricken areas has increased. Through construction, a large number of high-quality fertile fields have been formed to ensure harvests from drought and floods, high yields and stable yields, and grain per thousand catties in one season and two tons of grain in one season, and the comprehensive grain production capacity has been further enhanced.
Second, it has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of agriculture. The irrigation and drainage facilities of high-standard farmland, agricultural machinery roads and other related facilities have been improved, which has effectively promoted the development of land scale operation and mechanization. According to our survey, the mechanization level of high-standard farmland project areas has increased by 15-20 percentage points compared with that of non-project areas, the land turnover rate of large-scale operation has increased by 30 percentage points, and the proportion of new business entities has increased by more than 20 percentage points.
The third is to effectively improve the efficiency of resource utilization. The construction of high-standard farmland promotes the conservation and intensive utilization of agricultural resources and realizes the sustainable utilization of resources. The effects of saving water, fertilizer, electricity and medicine are very obvious. According to our survey, the general water saving is 20%-30%, the power saving reaches more than 30%, the drug saving reaches 19%, and the fertilizer saving reaches 13%.
Fourth, it has promoted the increase of peasants' income. High-standard farmland construction can not only significantly improve efficiency and increase output, but also effectively save and reduce production costs, "one increase and one decrease" mu average cost savings and efficiency can reach more than 500 yuan, and farmers in the project area get real benefits.
In 2022, our ministry will resolutely implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instruction that farmland is farmland and must be good land, in accordance with the deployment of the No. 1 document of the Central Committee, closely follow the theme of high-quality development, continue to promote the construction of high-standard farmland, and build farmland into good land.
The first is to solidly implement a new round of high-standard farmland construction planning. In August last year, the State Council approved the implementation of the "National High-standard Farmland Construction Plan (2021-2030)", which clarified the goals, tasks and important measures for high-standard farmland construction in the next ten years, and we will guide all localities to pay close attention to the preparation of high-standard farmland construction plans in their regions, accelerate the construction of a national, provincial, municipal and county four-level farmland construction planning system, and ensure that by 2022, a total of 1 billion mu of high-standard farmland will be built, so as to stably guarantee more than 1 trillion kilograms of grain production capacity. By 2025, 1.075 billion mu of high-standard farmland will be built, and 105 million mu of high-standard farmland will be transformed and upgraded to ensure a stable grain production capacity of more than 1.1 trillion catties.
The second is to strengthen the guarantee of funds and improve the quality of construction. Actively promote the improvement of diversified financing mechanisms, while further striving to increase central investment, guide and support all localities to further consolidate and expand the financing channels for farmland construction, build a diversified financing mechanism with extensive participation such as government input, financial capital, and social capital, increase investment in farmland construction, improve the quality of construction, and ensure that one mu is built and one mu is built.
The third is to further mobilize the initiative and enthusiasm of various localities in construction. Promote the implementation of the requirements of the party and government for food security, consolidate the responsibilities of local governments, strengthen daily supervision and annual evaluation; make good use of the State Council's supervision incentive measures, encourage and support areas with rapid progress and good results in supervision and incentives, interview and inform areas that have not completed their tasks, supervise rectification, and ensure that the central deployment is implemented to the ground with high quality.
Here, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the media reporters from all walks of life for their high attention to the construction of high-standard farmland in the past year, widely reported and enthusiastically supported, and created a good atmosphere for us to carry out farmland construction. At the same time, we sincerely welcome all media reporters to continue to pay attention to and support the construction of farmland in the new year. Thank you.

Questions from a reporter from the Hong Kong China Commentary Agency (Photo by Liu Jian)
Hong Kong China Commentary Reporter:
The Spring Festival is coming, the Winter Olympic Games and the Winter Paralympic Games are about to be held, and everyone is very concerned about the stable production and supply of vegetables and other "vegetable basket" products. What targeted measures will be taken next. Since last year, the price of pork has fallen, will there be a situation of "pigs hurting farmers"? Thank you.
2022-01-20 15:57:08
Tang Ke:
Thank you. "Vegetable basket" products are closely related to the lives of the people and are important commodities for people's livelihood. Judging from all aspects of the situation, during this year's Spring Festival, the Winter Olympic Games and the Winter Paralympic Games, the total supply of meat, eggs, milk, fruits, vegetables and fish is sufficient, which can fully meet the consumption needs of urban and rural residents. In 2021, the mainland pig production recovery target task was completed half a year ahead of schedule, pork production increased significantly, basically returned to the level of historical normal years, beef and mutton, poultry meat, milk production hit a record high, fishery production was stable, aquatic products production was sufficient, and the supply of livestock, poultry and aquatic products was fully guaranteed. Citrus and other fruits are listed in large quantities, apples, pears and other fruits are abundant, the fruit market is sufficient, there are many varieties, and the price is relatively stable. At present, the national vegetable field area is about 80 million mu, an increase of more than 2 million mu year-on-year, and it is expected that the total supply of vegetables in the next 3 months will be 170 million tons, an increase of 3.5 million tons year-on-year, plus winter storage vegetables, which can provide about 3 kg of vegetables per person per day. However, due to the rise in gasoline and diesel prices and seasonal factors, it is expected that vegetable prices will be relatively firm.
In the later period, some areas may experience staged adverse weather, and the pressure on agricultural products to maintain supply and stabilize prices is greater than in previous years. In the next step, we will continue to work with relevant departments and localities to actively take targeted measures and focus on four aspects of work. The first is stable production. The zoning classification should do a good job in the production of winter and spring vegetables in key areas such as the "Southern Vegetables and Northern Transportation" base, the large and medium-sized cities in the north, and the large and medium-sized cities, continue to do a good job in livestock and poultry aquaculture, and continuously improve the market supply capacity of "vegetable basket" products. The second is unimpeded circulation. Work with relevant departments to strictly implement the "green channel" policy for the transportation of fresh and live agricultural products, actively coordinate the construction of "point-to-point" docking relationships between production areas and sales areas, and ensure that "vegetable basket" products can be produced, transported and supplied. The third is to do a good job in emergency response. Pay close attention to major festivals, major activities, and special periods such as extreme weather such as rain, snow, and ice, strengthen production scheduling and market dynamic monitoring and early warning, and guide and urge all localities, especially large and medium-sized cities, to formulate emergency supply plans. The fourth is to ensure safety. Strengthen quality and safety supervision, increase the intensity of sampling inspections, and effectively ensure the "safety on the tip of the tongue" of the people. In accordance with the unified deployment of the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, strengthen the quality and safety control of the base of direct supply of agricultural products for the Winter Olympics, cooperate with relevant departments to do a good job in the prevention and control of foodborne stimulants, and complete various tasks with quality and quantity.
Regarding the "pig price" situation: the high price of live pigs in 2021 gradually fell, from 35.8 yuan per kilogram in January to 17.59 yuan in December, and the pig price in December was still higher than the average production cost of 15.5 yuan per kilogram of about 2 yuan. From the perspective of pig breeding income, in addition to the loss from June to October, the remaining 7 months are more profitable, according to the weighted average calculation of the amount of discharge, each pig in the whole year still has a profit of 564 yuan, higher than the profit level of about 200 yuan in normal years. For the whole industry, pig breeding in 2021 is still a bumper harvest year. Thank you.

Questions from Macao Monthly Reporters (Photo by Liu Jian)
Macao Monthly Reporter:
In the process of poverty alleviation, industrial poverty alleviation has played an important role, and the role of industry must still be played to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation. What is the current development of characteristic industries in poverty-alleviated areas? What are the next arrangements of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs? Thank you.
2022-01-20 16:04:15
Consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation and developing industries are important foundations. Since last year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has resolutely implemented the deployment requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, taken the initiative to shoulder responsibilities, strengthened policy support, strengthened guidance services, and improved the working mechanism.
First, a number of characteristic leading industries have been strengthened. We have monitored each of the 832 poverty alleviation counties to form 2-3 characteristic leading industries with outstanding advantages and strong driving force, the industrial scale has steadily expanded, and the industrial layout has changed from "multi-point distribution" to "belt agglomeration". Last year, the output value of the characteristic leading industries in the poverty alleviation areas exceeded 1.5 trillion yuan, the output value of agricultural product processing was about 800 billion yuan, and the output value of a single leading industry in more than 300 poverty alleviation counties exceeded 1 billion yuan.
Second, a number of industrial parks have been built for agglomeration and development. Important progress has been made in the development of characteristic industrial parks and agglomerations in poverty alleviation areas, with a total of 48 national modern agricultural industrial parks, 318 strong agricultural industrial towns, and 974 "one village, one product" demonstration villages and towns. Driven by various industrial parks, more than 140 billion yuan of financial arrangements at all levels have been used for industrial development, and the insurance coverage rate of leading industries has exceeded 70%.
Third, a number of business entities with joint agriculture and agricultural belt have been cultivated. Poverty alleviation areas have developed a total of 15,000 leading enterprises at or above the municipal level, 720,000 farmers' cooperatives, and more than 800,000 family farms, driving nearly 30 million people out of poverty through radiation, and achieving per capita industrial income of more than 2,200 yuan. The industrial-driven pattern led by leading enterprises, followed by farmers' cooperatives and family farms, and widely participated in by the people who have been lifted out of poverty has basically taken shape.
Fourth, it has created a number of small and refined characteristic brands. Brand awareness in poverty-alleviated areas has been continuously enhanced, and brand premiums have become an important source of more benefits for the poverty-alleviated population, with a cumulative number of registered trademarks (brands) reaching 53,000 and nearly 10,000 certified green, organic and geographical indication agricultural products. A large number of characteristic agricultural product brands such as Sichuan Cangxi kiwifruit, Inner Mongolia Xing'an League rice, Hunan Yongshun berry tea and so on are well-known throughout the country.
On the whole, the development of characteristic industries in poverty-alleviated areas has continued to grow, which has effectively broadened the channels for employment and income of the people who have been lifted out of poverty, and consolidated and expanded the foundation for the achievements in poverty alleviation. In the next step, we will conscientiously implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the bottom line requirements of not returning to poverty on a large scale, take the improvement of the scale and quality of characteristic industries and the improvement of the operating income of the poverty-alleviated population as the goal, take the implementation of the action of upgrading characteristic industries as the starting point, highlight the development of the whole industrial chain, the leading role and the joint agriculture with agriculture, do solid industrial planning, implement detailed support policies, optimize guidance services, develop and expand a number of characteristic advantageous industries that can drive more employment, and ensure that the results of poverty alleviation are more sustainable. Thank you.

Farmers Daily reporter asks questions (Photo by Liu Jian)
Farmers Daily reporter:
Ensuring national food security is the bottom-line task of the agricultural and rural sectors, and last year grain output reached a new high, and the foundation for food security was further consolidated. What considerations does the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs have for stabilizing grain production this year?
2022-01-20 16:10:10
Pan Wenbo:
In 2021, we overcame the difficult challenges of the ups and downs of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, low temperature in spring, flooding in summer, severe autumn flood, local drought, diseases and insect pests, etc., and achieved a bumper harvest of grain, with output reaching 1,365.7 billion catties, a record high, which is not easy, and has played a vital role in the country's opening of a new situation, a response bureau, and a stable overall situation.
This year's year is special, and it is of great significance to seize a bumper grain harvest. Both the Central Economic Work Conference and the Central Rural Work Conference stressed that ensuring the supply of primary products is a major strategic issue, and doing a good job in the production and supply of grain and important agricultural products is a bottom-line task that cannot be lost. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will resolutely implement the central decision-making and deployment, do everything possible to grasp grain production, ensure that grain output continues to remain above 1.3 trillion kilograms, and firmly hold the rice bowl of Chinese in its own hands.
In terms of target tasks, we should further consolidate grain output and optimize the grain structure. The focus is on achieving "two stability and two expansions," stabilizing rations and corn, and expanding beans and oilseeds. In terms of stabilizing rations, we should stabilize the production of rice and wheat crops, do a good job in double-cropping rice in the south, and do everything possible to seize a bumper harvest of wheat in the summer. Stabilize corn, focus on increasing corn yield, consolidate and increase production capacity. In terms of expanding soybeans, we will establish a reasonable rotation system of corn and soybeans and guide the expansion of soybeans in the northeast region. In the northwest, Huanghuaihai, southwest, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and other suitable areas, vigorously promote soybean and corn strip compound planting. In terms of oil expansion, adhere to the winter rapeseed, spring rape, peanuts, oil sunflower, sesame and other oils at the same time. Expand the area, raise yield and take multiple measures.
In terms of work arrangements, we should mainly grasp four aspects.
First, strengthen the implementation of responsibilities. Implement the requirements for the shared responsibility of the party and the government for food security, formulate and introduce measures for the assessment of the food security responsibility system of provincial party committees and governments, and implement the main responsibility. After being examined and approved by the State Council this year, we will continue to issue grain production targets and tasks, consolidate local responsibilities at all levels, and ensure that the grain sown area this year is stable at 1.76 billion mu.
The second is to increase policy support. This year, the state will continue to increase its support for grain production, implement the minimum purchase prices of wheat and rice, and stabilize farmers' income expectations. Coordinate the implementation of corn and soybean producer subsidies and rice subsidies, expand the coverage of policies such as crop rotation, green and high yield action for grain, and agricultural socialization services, and mobilize local governments to focus on grain and farmers to cultivate grain.
The third is accurate guidance services. Summing up the "four ones" work method of grasping grain last year, we will continue to promote the implementation of various measures in accordance with one region and one region, one link after another, one season after another, one crop per crop, formulate technical opinions on sub-crops and sub-regions and varieties, and after the beginning of spring, we will carry out the guidance of the ministry's leadership in leading the provincial package and the guidance of the scientific and technological detachments, and the strength of agricultural and rural departments at all levels will be pressed to the front line of production to ensure that all measures fall into place and fall to the field.
The fourth is to do a good job in disaster prevention and reduction. Firmly establish the idea of fighting disasters and harvests, establish bottom-line thinking, and a sense of distress, in view of the adverse effects that "La Niña" may bring, we have formulated response plans and technical plans, and the state will also increase support for disaster prevention, mitigation and relief, guide and support local technical preparations, material reserves, and implement key technical measures to resist disasters and increase production. At the same time, funds for the prevention and control of major diseases and insect pests should be allocated as soon as possible, and the prevention and control measures of the "three districts and four belts" of the grassland night moth should be implemented, and sufficient medicinal equipment should be prepared to be prepared.
As soon as we went to work after the Spring Festival, we were ready to convene a national spring agricultural production conference, comprehensively mobilize and deploy spring field management and spring ploughing preparations, quickly set off a spring agricultural production boom, make every effort to grasp the implementation of various measures to promote the weakening of winter wheat and turn strong into strength, and go all out to win the battle of summer grain production and lay the foundation for a bumper grain harvest throughout the year. Thank you.

Cover reporter asks questions (Photo by Liu Jian)
Cover Reporter:
Recently, the price of chemical fertilizers has continued to rise, is there any countermeasure for the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs? How to ensure peasants' enthusiasm for production. At present, spring ploughing is about to begin, what is the judgment of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the situation of spring ploughing this year? Thank you.
2022-01-20 16:21:48
Thank you for your question. This question is for the answers of Director Tang of the Marketing Division and Pan Wenbo of the Plantation Division.
2022-01-20 16:21:59
I'll answer your first question first. Fertilizers, pesticides, etc. are special commodities related to national food security, indeed as you said, the price of agricultural materials has risen significantly since 2021, and the prices of urea, phosphate fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, compound fertilizer and so on have risen to a new high in the past decade in October 2021. In accordance with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, relevant departments have taken timely and effective measures to effectively ensure the supply of chemical fertilizers, and make up for the rise in the cost of growing grain through one-time subsidies to protect farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain. Driven by a series of measures to ensure supply and stabilize prices, fertilizer prices have fallen back at a high level. In December, the average ex-factory price of urea was 2481 yuan per ton, down 3.5% month-on-month and up 41.9% year-on-year; the average ex-factory price of diammonium phosphate was 3520 yuan per ton, down 1.7% month-on-month and 44.3% year-on-year; the average ex-factory price of potassium chloride was 3190 yuan per ton, flat month-on-month, up 57.9% year-on-year; the average factory price of domestic compound fertilizer was 3238 yuan per ton, down 1.1% month-on-month and up 47.2% year-on-year. Fertilizer prices were basically stable month-on-month in January this year.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs attaches great importance to ensuring supply and stable prices in the agricultural materials market, sets up a special class for ensuring the supply of agricultural materials, organizes and carries out 200 days of hard work to do a good job in ensuring the supply and supply of agricultural materials in winter and spring, strengthens the dispatch of supply and demand of agricultural materials, monitors the market situation, coordinates and solves difficulties, and strives to ensure the smooth development of "vegetable basket" production and spring ploughing and spring sowing, so as to protect the enthusiasm of farmers in production. Specifically, there are five measures:
The first is to study and judge the needs in advance. Organize expert associations to consult, early study and judgment of fertilizer market demand during spring ploughing, and provide reference for enterprises to arrange production plans. The second is to closely monitor market changes. Pay close attention to the operating rate, inventory, price and other conditions of major agricultural enterprises such as fertilizers, pesticides and seeds, and timely study and analyze the reasons for fluctuations. The third is to do a good job in ensuring the supply of raw materials. Cooperate with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments to effectively ensure the normal production of fertilizers and other agricultural enterprises, smooth logistics and transportation and terminal distribution, do a good job in fertilizer reserves, and stabilize market supply. The fourth is to promote scientific fertilization. Popularize scientific fertilization knowledge to farmers, advocate organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers, promote scientific fertilization technologies such as soil testing and formula fertilization, water and fertilizer integration, and improve the level of fertilization specialization, intensification and fertilizer utilization. Fifth, protect peasants' income from growing grain. Implement a one-time subsidy for grain farmers, appropriately raise the minimum purchase price of rice and wheat, alleviate the impact of rising agricultural material costs, and give grain farmers a "reassurance pill."
In the next step, we will continue to work with relevant departments and units to pay close attention to changes in the fertilizer market situation, actively promote the supply of chemical fertilizer production factors, improve the capacity utilization rate of enterprises, strengthen the role of reserve regulation, smooth the transportation and distribution of chemical fertilizers, maintain market circulation order, vigorously promote the reduction and efficiency of chemical fertilizers, and effectively do a good job in fertilizer supply and price stability. Thank you.
2022-01-20 16:22:12
I would like to add to the situation of spring plowing. Today is the 24th solar term cold, the coldest time of the year, and now most of the winter wheat is in the overwintering period. Winter wheat is expected to return to green in late February and will enter the peak of field management around the spring equinox on March 20. The spring equinox wheat got up, a moment worth thousands of gold, and then it entered the peak of the field pipe. For spring sowing, most of the country is still in the spring ploughing production preparation stage, our country has a wide area, early rice in south China in late February began to soak seedlings, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River began to raise seedlings in March, northeast "May Day" corn, soybeans began to sow, so now belong to the preparation stage.
Agricultural and rural departments at all levels are vigorously and orderly promoting the preparation of spring ploughing. There are mainly the following tasks: First, seize the winter agricultural leisure time, carry out farmland water conservancy construction, and carry out winter peasant training. The second is to dispatch the agricultural materials for spring ploughing and spring management, adjust and transport scarce varieties, and at the same time overhaul and debug agricultural machinery to ensure the needs of spring ploughing production. The third is to study and judge the meteorological conditions in the spring in a timely manner, organize experts to carry out investigations of seedling conditions, diseases and insects, and formulate and issue targeted technical opinions. From the current point of view, the price of agricultural materials such as chemical fertilizers is high, and the supply of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides is sufficient to meet the needs of spring ploughing production.
In the next step, we will unswervingly strengthen our confidence in resisting disasters and achieving bumper harvests, and with the attitude of fighting a war against the tide of the water and with extraordinary and super strength, we will implement policies and categorical guidance in different regions, closely grasp well all aspects of spring ploughing and preparation for ploughing, and quickly set off a spring ploughing boom after the beginning of spring to ensure that grain and agricultural production throughout the year will have a good start and a good start. Thank you.

One last question.
2022-01-20 16:23:34
Questions from reporters from China Rural Magazine (Photo by Liu Jian)
China Rural Magazine reporter:
In agricultural and rural work, it is said that there are 10,000 ways and 10,000, and increasing peasants' incomes is the key. 2022 is a critical year for the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan, what new situations are facing farmers' income increase? What measures will the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs take in this regard? Thank you.
2022-01-20 16:24:17
Thank you for your question. Promoting peasants' income increase is the central task of agricultural and rural work. In recent years, including last year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in accordance with the central decision-making and deployment, has adopted various measures to promote peasants' employment and increase income, and has achieved relatively good results.
In 2021, the per capita disposable power of rural residents on the mainland reached 18,931 yuan, an actual increase of 9.7%, which was not easy to come by, and was achieved under the influence of many unfavorable factors such as severe natural disasters, rising prices of agricultural materials, and the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. At the same time, we have also seen that the price of agricultural materials is still running at a high level, and the uncertain factors of unstable employment of farmers have increased, and ensuring the sustained and stable growth of farmers' incomes is facing great pressure. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will put the increase of peasants' income in a more prominent position, and from the perspective of work, it is mainly necessary to grasp four aspects:
First, improve quality and efficiency to promote income. Through the implementation of the "three products and one standard" improvement action of agricultural production, we will promote the cultivation of varieties, quality improvement, brand building and standardized production, increase the supply of green and high-quality agricultural products, and let high-quality agricultural products be sold and sold at a good price.
Second, save costs and increase efficiency to promote income. Strengthen the support for socialized services for agricultural production, develop specialized socialized services based on agricultural machinery operations, promote technical models such as water saving, medicine and fertilizer saving, and provide small farmers with services such as substitution of farming, disease and pest prevention and control, and fertilizer distribution and application, so as to reduce production costs.
Third, strengthen the industry to promote income growth. The focus is on the development of rural industries, especially to focus on the multiple functions of agriculture and the diversified values of rural areas, vigorously develop agricultural product processing industries and rural leisure tourism based on agricultural and rural resources, cultivate new formats such as rural e-commerce entities and online live broadcasting, and promote farmers to increase employment and income nearby.
Fourth, implement policies to promote income growth. The focus is on appropriately raising the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice, improving subsidies for corn and soybean producers, deepening rural reform, and allowing farmers to share more of the policy dividends. Thank you.
