Due to the marketization of agricultural production and operation, most mainstream media cannot disclose the current status of agricultural production and operation. For example, Article 49 of the Food Safety Law stipulates that producers and other operators of edible agricultural products shall establish a system for recording the use of agricultural inputs, which has not been implemented. Based on concerns about the safety of agricultural products, if the next round of household contract management is still implemented, most people may consider transferring 500 yuan/mu of agricultural land.
The supervision system for edible agricultural products has not been fully implemented
The standard and amount of cultivated land subsidy should be disclosed
Agricultural production is a "naïve" industry. The "naïve" here refers to the fact that the country has special regulations on the price of agricultural products, and agricultural production is greatly affected by climate and other factors, rather than referring to emerging industries. Accordingly, it has become an international practice for most countries to generally provide government subsidies for agricultural production, and the WTO also classifies relevant agricultural products as plurilateral trade agreements, such as the dairy agreement and the beef agreement, which were once part of the World Trade Organization's trading system, but the former two agreements have lapsed in 1997.
The Agreement on Agriculture also provides for special safeguards for agricultural products. Among them, the purpose of the special safeguard measures is to prevent the application of the scope of "two anti-one guarantees" in the traditional sense. Not only that, based on the fact that agricultural production and operation are still in a small peasant economy at this stage, large-scale agriculture and industrialization are the development directions encouraged and promoted by the state. The Anti-Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that joint and coordinated acts in agricultural production and business activities are not subject to the regulation of this Law.
All levels of finance (including the central government) subsidize agricultural production. However, from the practice of subsidies in various places, most local governments do not disclose the standards and amounts of subsidies to the public, and the subsidy standards in the same region may not be consistent. On the mainland, since most of the agricultural land is collectively owned, it is still necessary to analyze whether agricultural subsidies include villagers' "food rations". For example, before the introduction of household contracting, villagers received food rations free of charge by virtue of their status.
The standard and amount of farmland subsidies are not disclosed, which reminds most residents of family planning subsidies. For example, the "One-Child Certificate" of a province is not only a proof of retirement benefits, but also a record of receiving incentives on a monthly basis (see attached picture). However, most people do not receive the one-child award on a monthly or annual basis, and the reason is that the relevant government does not announce the standard and amount of the award. Accordingly, the standard and amount of cultivated land subsidy should be disclosed.

The significance of the disclosure of the standard and amount of cultivated land subsidy
At present, in order to promote the social endowment insurance system for residents, many local governments require villagers to participate in the new rural social endowment insurance with agricultural land (contracted responsibility land). In most localities, in the practice of cohabitation and land consolidation of whole villages, many local governments (mainly referring to sub-district offices) concentrate on the management of agricultural land by collective economic organizations and their members. In the aforementioned situation, after the agricultural land is handed over to the large agricultural households, most farmers no longer enjoy the cultivated land subsidy.
By disclosing the standards and amounts of subsidies for cultivated land, the state and society can evaluate the management mode of the next round of agricultural land, that is, whether agricultural production is operated in a "small-scale economy" or on a large scale and industrialized. The full amount of farmland subsidies can not only promote the relevant authorities to reduce and reduce the number of financial supporters, but also help the elderly villagers to "wash their feet and go to the fields". For example, if the farmland subsidy includes villagers' "food rations", elderly villagers can only monitor the use of agricultural inputs by "large farmers".
The quality of domestic agricultural products may be "worrying"
Since the mainland is a large country with a large population, most agricultural products are generally produced for the purpose of exporting in exchange for foreign exchange. The state and society should clearly understand that in history, the mainland was a major exporter of agricultural products. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, China's trade surplus in exporting tea and other agricultural products to the West forced the British to "smuggle" opium into China. Another example is that before the implementation of household contract management, China still exported a large amount of tea and other agricultural products, and at present, tea exports are mainly based on price advantages.
After the implementation of household contract management, the export of many agricultural products on the mainland has been blocked. For example, Shandong's garlic is exported to South Korea, etc. The effect of "breeding" agricultural products from being exported is that a bumper harvest of a certain agricultural product is a "year of reduced harvest" for farmers. From the analysis of meat exports, in 2023, domestic pork exports will be 26,800 tons, but imports will reach 1.55 million tons. Some people ask why not more meat products can be exported to Malaysia, but there are requirements. Among them, there is an import license issued by the country's veterinarians.
On the premise that there may be quality problems in domestic agricultural products, the transfer of agricultural land in rural areas has also become a reality, for example, many large enterprises own agricultural land in rural areas, and many social capital participate in professional farmer cooperatives. However, as a natural person, or an ordinary person, he does not have a capital advantage, but he cannot let the villagers "suffer". Based on the interests of both parties, the specific accounting is as follows:
First, the "round" of agricultural land contracting is subject to the "round", and the third round of contracting has not yet begun. For example, the remaining period of the current circulation is only about five years, and the cost of transferring it after five years may increase.
Second, the transfer fee should not include the cultivated land subsidy and the land compensation fee when land acquisition. The reason for this is that the subsidy for cultivated land may include the "rations" of rural villagers, and the compensation for land acquisition of rural contracted land also includes the social insurance benefits of farmers.
Third, if 500 yuan/mu is used to transfer agricultural land, the circulation cost is 15,000 yuan/mu for 30 years, and 150,000 yuan for 10 acres of agricultural land for 30 years.
Rational accounting of the "cost" of agricultural land transfer
In the 30-year period, the 150,000 yuan circulation fee can provide safe agricultural products for a number of households, is this "business" cost-effective? Not only that, the 10 mu of agricultural land provides ecological agricultural products, and a little publicity from the media can lead other small-scale contractors to get rich. Are you willing to contract 500 yuan per mu for rural land? However, it may have an adverse impact on large agricultural households.
