Li Keqiang inspected the wholesale market of Nanchang Shenzhen Agricultural Products Center, the largest in Jiangxi, focusing on the price trend of white strip pigs in nanchang, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xi'an, Changsha and other places. Li Keqiang demanded that we should study and reduce the transportation fees for frozen pork on highways. Li Keqiang told wholesalers that among you are both engaged in distribution, acquisition, and transportation, governments at all levels will try to reduce your circulation costs, you must also try your best to give profits to consumers, we work together, so that thousands of households can eat meat, can afford meat, especially to ensure the supply and price of pork during the "two festivals".
Since the beginning of this year, due to the downward trend of the pig cycle, the impact of the African swine fever epidemic, the local environmental protection ban and restriction of breeding and other factors, the inventory of pigs and fertile sows has declined significantly, and the price of pigs and pork has risen sharply. In October, pork prices rose 101.3% year-on-year, affecting the CPI by about 2.43 percentage points, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the total year-on-year increase in the CPI.
The results of the policy combination have emerged
Judging from the fact that the decline in pig stocks in October continued to narrow significantly, the number of fertile sows stopped falling and rebounded month-on-month, and the pig prices stabilized and fell in early November, the decline in pig production capacity basically bottomed out, the enthusiasm of pig farms to supplement the fence was significantly improved, the breeding sow inventory was stopped and rebounded, the situation continued to improve, and the stock was expected to stop falling and rise before the end of the year. It is expected that the contradiction between supply and demand during the New Year's Day Spring Festival may be alleviated, and the possibility of a rapid and sharp rise in pig prices again is unlikely.
Subsidies and subsidies to allow farm households to eat "reassuring pills"
Some provinces that have not introduced policies should pay close attention to the introduction, and all localities should give appropriate subsidies to the new, renovated and expanded breeding pig farms, large-scale pig farms (households) and large-scale pig farms (households) in the forbidden areas before the end of 2020, and support the construction of infrastructure such as animal epidemic prevention, manure treatment, breeding environment control, and automatic feeding; it is necessary to implement the measures to extend the implementation period of the working capital loan discount for breeding pig farms and large-scale pig farms to December 31, 2020, so that farm households can truly feel real support.
Increase the subsidy standard for fertile sows, and implement the subsidy fund for the compulsory culling of African swine fever. It is necessary to continue to carry out and expand the pig price insurance pilot in accordance with the policy requirements, and increase the insurance amount of fertile sows from 1000-1200 yuan to 1500 yuan, and the insurance amount of fattening pigs from 500-600 yuan to 800 yuan.
Implement aquaculture land
All localities should strictly implement the provisions that pig breeding land is managed according to agricultural land and does not need to go through the approval procedures for construction land, and under the premise of not occupying permanent basic farmland, allow pig breeding to use general cultivated land, and as a breeding purpose, there is no need for cultivated land to make up for the balance.
Dispelling the crux of the problem posed by the demarcation of the forbidden area
Some localities are slow to implement policies and have concerns, the main crux of the problem is in the delimitation of forbidden areas, and other rules and normative documents other than national laws and regulations and local regulations must not be used as the basis for the delimitation of forbidden areas;
For large-scale farms that need to be relocated in the forbidden area, priority will be given to supporting off-site reconstruction, for livestock and poultry breeding construction projects that meet environmental protection requirements, accelerate the approval of environmental impact assessment, give a reasonable transition period to farms that really need to be closed, and strictly prohibit simple practices such as "all shut down".
Increase pork as well as substitutes
Improve the production and supply of alternative livestock products such as poultry meat, eggs, beef and mutton, expand the import of substitutes through multiple channels, and enrich the "vegetable basket" of the people. In the short term, to effectively reduce the consumption dependence on pork protein, priority should be given to eggs and poultry meat with short breeding cycles, and aquatic products are also a good alternative product in the long run, which can alleviate the tight supply of pork to a certain extent.
Temporary price subsidies are granted in full
The rise in pork prices has an impact on the basic livelihood of the masses, especially the people in difficulty, and all localities should pay close attention to the urban and rural low-income insurance targets, the extremely poor and other difficult people, promptly start the price subsidy linkage mechanism according to the price increase, issue temporary price subsidies in full, properly implement the release of frozen pork reserves, and ensure that the people in difficulty can afford to eat meat and eat meat.
The current good results in the recovery of pig production show that only by continuously and steadily implementing the policies and measures to restore pig production, giving farm households a "reassuring pill" and eliminating the doubts of farm households, can we continue to accelerate the resumption of pig production, ensure the stable price of pork and ensure supply, and let the "pig" matter in big countries no longer affect the heartstrings of the Chinese people.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Transport, the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission and other departments, has issued 17 support policies such as canceling the over-range demarcation of forbidden areas and increasing the guarantee of breeding land, and 25 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country have introduced local support measures.
Tianjin: Issued a policy "gift package" for pig breeding enterprises, and gave a subsidy of 1,000 yuan per pig introduced to core breeding farms and new breeding farms, and the subsidy period was from the date of policy release to the end of 2020.
Anhui: Issued the "Implementation Opinions on Stabilizing Pig Production and Promoting Transformation and Upgrading", and increased support for the reconstruction of new, reconstructed and expanded breeding farms, large-scale pig farms (households) and large-scale pig farms (households) in prohibited areas before the end of 2020; increase the ability to adjust pork reserves, and release pork reserves in a timely manner.
Jiangsu: In terms of ensuring the development of the pig industry, the "Implementation Opinions on Stabilizing Pig Production and Ensuring Market Supply to Promote the High-quality Development of the Pig Industry" proposed that under the premise of not occupying permanent basic farmland, pig breeding land is allowed to use general cultivated land, and as a breeding purpose, no cultivated land is required to occupy the balance, and the upper limit of 15 mu of land for pig production auxiliary facilities is cancelled.
Fujian: Issued the "Three-year Action Plan for Stabilizing Pig Production and Promoting Transformation and Upgrading in Fujian Province (2019-2021)", which clearly accelerates the construction of a cold chain logistics infrastructure network that effectively connects the main pig production area and the main sales area; encourages slaughtering enterprises to equip them with necessary refrigerated trucks and other equipment; encourages the construction of standardized circulation cold storage, low-temperature processing and processing centers, cold chain distribution facilities and cold fresh meat distribution points in the main pig product sales areas, and realizes the transformation from "transporting pigs" to "transporting meat".
Guizhou, Guangdong, Sichuan, Shanghai, Jilin and other provinces have introduced policies...
