How is the implementation progress of the Strategic Plan for Rural Revitalization (2018-2022)? What are the arrangements for the follow-up promotion of rural revitalization? At the press conference held on the 28th, the relevant heads of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs responded. Wu Xiao, Director of the Department of Rural Economy of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the implementation of the plan was good and achieved remarkable results. The strategic institutional framework for rural revitalization has been continuously improved, the planning system, policy system, working system and assessment mechanism have been continuously improved, the Party's overall leadership over rural revitalization has been continuously strengthened, and rural revitalization has started well, started steadily, and laid a solid foundation. Wu Xiao said that the smooth implementation of the plan and the increasing improvement of relevant laws, regulations and policy systems have laid a solid foundation for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. In 2021, the Fourteenth Five Year Plan for Promoting Agricultural and Rural Modernization issued by the State Council further defined the main objectives and tasks of rural revitalization during the Fourteenth Five Year Plan period, based on the first five-year plan of the rural revitalization strategy. In the next step, we will steadily promote the overall revitalization of the countryside and make it richer, happier and more beautiful. Zeng Yande, chief agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and director of the Department of Development and Planning, said that keeping the bottom line of not returning to poverty on a large scale is a hard task for agricultural and rural work this year, as well as a key task for the implementation of the plan. "All localities and departments have made every effort to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation. First, we should link up support policies and optimize assistance and support. Second, we should focus on key groups and improve mechanisms to prevent poverty from returning. Third, we should focus on key assistance and give preferential support to increase the potential. Fourth, we should focus on industrial employment and expand channels to increase income." Zeng Yande said. According to reports, the state has introduced a series of convergence policies around finance, finance, land, talent and other aspects. By 2022, the central government will increase the subsidy for rural revitalization to 165 billion yuan. We will optimize the cooperation and assistance between the east and the west, stabilize the targeted assistance provided by central units, and provide financial assistance of more than 22 billion yuan in eastern provinces. 14000 temporary cadres and professional and technical personnel will be selected. In 2021, the proportion of wage income in farmers' income has exceeded 42%, becoming the main channel for farmers to increase their income. In the first half of this year, the growth rate of farmers' income continued to be 2.3 percentage points higher than that of urban residents. Wu Xiao said that with the in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, farmers' sense of gain, happiness and security has been greatly improved. At the same time, it should also be noted that the current imbalance and inadequacy of China's development is still prominent, and promoting the common prosperity of farmers and rural areas will be a long-term task. We must work hard and make more active efforts towards this goal. Industrial revitalization is the top priority of rural revitalization. Wu Xiao said that in the past five years, rural industries have achieved new development. Agricultural supply side structural reform has been further promoted, and agricultural quality, efficiency and competitiveness have been continuously improved. The modern agricultural industrial system, production system and management system have been increasingly improved, and agricultural development has achieved quality, efficiency and power changes. Zeng Yande said that in the past five years, the rural industry has accelerated its development, with four outstanding highlights: First, the agricultural product processing and circulation industry has accelerated its development. The second is the deep integration and development of agriculture, culture and tourism. Third, rural e-commerce is booming. Fourth, inheritance and development of rural characteristic industries.
