In the rural areas of the mainland, there is a phenomenon that has attracted much attention, that is, it has been more than 40 years since the implementation of the policy of "guaranteeing production to households", but why have the peasants not generally become rich? This issue involves many aspects such as rural economy, social system, education, and policy implementation, and deserves our in-depth discussion.
We need to clarify the significance of the policy of "package production to households".
This policy is a major reform of the rural land system on the mainland, which allocates land use rights to each peasant household and gives the peasants the right to exercise their own production and management rights. This measure has greatly stimulated the peasants' enthusiasm for production, promoted the increase of agricultural output, and played a positive role in the process of agricultural modernization on the mainland. However, we cannot ignore some problems in the implementation of this policy.
1. The imperfection of the agricultural industrial chain restricts the growth of peasants' income.
Although the policy of "guaranteeing production to households" has given farmers more autonomy, they are often in a disadvantaged position when it comes to the sale and processing of agricultural products. The price of agricultural products fluctuates greatly, the market risk is high, and farmers lack market bargaining power and sales channels, resulting in low added value of agricultural products and limited growth of farmers' income.
2. The level of rural infrastructure construction and public services is relatively lagging behind.
Insufficient investment in rural roads, water conservancy, electricity and other infrastructure has affected agricultural production and the improvement of farmers' living conditions. At the same time, the imperfect public service system of rural education, medical care, and pension has increased the burden on farmers, making them lack security in the face of risks such as diseases and disasters.
3. The problem of rural population loss and aging has exacerbated the dilemma of rural development.
With the advancement of urbanization, a large number of young and middle-aged rural laborers have poured into cities, and the majority of them have remained with the elderly and children. This phenomenon has led to a shortage of rural labor, reduced agricultural production efficiency, and increased pressure on rural social services.
To solve these problems, the mainland government has taken a series of measures.
For example, increase support for the agricultural industry chain, promote the integrated development of agricultural product processing industry and rural industry, and increase the added value of agricultural products; increase investment in rural infrastructure construction and improve the living conditions of rural residents; strengthen rural education and medical security to reduce the burden on farmers; Promote the reform of the rural land system, guide farmers to transfer land in an orderly manner in accordance with the law, and improve the efficiency of land use.
However, it will take time for the policy to be implemented and effective.
In the process of developing the rural economy and increasing peasants' incomes, we cannot ignore the inheritance and development of rural society and culture. It is necessary to give full play to the role of the excellent traditional culture in the rural areas, cultivate new-type rural business entities, and improve the quality of peasants and the degree of civilization in the rural areas. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the building of rural grassroots organizations, enhance the ability of rural governance, and provide a strong guarantee for rural development and peasants' prosperity.
In short, in the more than 40 years since the implementation of the policy of "guaranteeing production to households," remarkable results have been achieved in the rural areas of the mainland, but the problem that the peasants have not yet become generally rich also deserves our great attention. In the new era, on the basis of adhering to and improving relevant policies, we should actively explore new paths for rural economic development, and contribute to the realization of the strategic goal of rural revitalization and the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
