New progress has been made in Rural Revitalization. The "opinions on doing a good job in the key work of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization in 2022" was released a few days ago. On February 23, 2022, the State Council Information Office held a press conference. The central rural work leading group, the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas and the National Bureau of Rural Revitalization introduced the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on doing a good job in the key work of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization in 2022 (hereinafter referred to as the opinions), which was officially released on February 22. The "opinions" is the second officially released document on Rural Revitalization in 2022. The previous one is the "opinions of the State Council on supporting Guizhou to break a new path in the western development in the new era". The frequent Rural Revitalization policies and increasingly perfect and specific work arrangements are enough to show the importance of this strategy.
"Two bottom lines, three key points and one strengthening" is the key word to master the Rural Revitalization in 2022. The two bottom lines refer to keeping food security and avoiding large-scale return to poverty. The main way to keep the bottom line is the industrial prosperity in the "three priorities". The industrial prosperity will promote the local employment and income of farmers, and improve the efficiency of food production through the modernization of primary industry (Agriculture). The other two of the "three priorities" are still highly consistent with the overall strategy of rural revitalization, namely, ecological livability and improving rural governance. We have made a detailed description in the series of reports on Rural Revitalization (I): promising future in 2022. "One strengthening" further reflects that the implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy in 2022 will be strengthened. It is required to fully promote the responsibility of Rural Revitalization and strengthen policy guarantee and institutional innovation. In our previous report, we also put forward that 2022 will be the first year of the all-round promotion of Rural Revitalization. After the comprehensive victory of poverty alleviation, the financial support means will be changed from "poverty alleviation" to "promoting development". More than 500 billion funds in the finance will be used for poverty alleviation every year. In the future, this part of funds is expected to become the capital to promote industrial prosperity; In addition, the market entry system of collectively operated construction land is expected to enter a new exploration period under the policy guidance of "mechanism innovation" and become a credit accelerator for Rural Revitalization. On the whole, this year's document highlights the annual tasks, targeted measures and effectiveness orientation, which is both specific and pragmatic. The central rural work conference held at the end of 2021 attended relevant financial institutions and enterprises as nonvoting delegates, which also means that investors will clearly observe the substantive progress of Rural Revitalization this year.
The industry is prosperous and the primary, secondary and tertiary industries are integrated, from "one village and one product" to "one county and one industry". The means of industrial prosperity is to increase the added value rate of primary industry and expand the scale of secondary and tertiary industry. In the past, China mainly emphasized "one village and one product", and tended to be high-end of Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) ; In this year's document, it is clearly proposed to do "one county and one industry", that is, to emphasize the development of secondary and tertiary industries. Secondary and tertiary industries play an important role in absorbing employment. Under the realistic situation of migrant workers' "returning home" after the epidemic, it can build a positive cycle of absorbing employment, improving residents' income, "feeding" local consumption and further strengthening local employment. Among them, the opportunities of agricultural modernization related to primary industry (green agriculture, facility agriculture and advanced agricultural machinery) deserve attention, and the cold chain logistics, county consumption and rural tourism related to secondary and tertiary industry have considerable development space.
Ecological livability, infrastructure first. One of the basic objectives of Rural Revitalization is to improve the living conditions of farmers and live a modern and civilized life, especially in the infrastructure of "water, road, electricity and network", which is in line with the surrounding cities and towns, including the construction of living infrastructure (sewage treatment and water supply guarantee) and production (water conservancy and roads), The opinion points out that facilities conducive to production and life, such as roads, warehousing and logistics, should be given priority.
Rural governance should not only make full use of personnel, but also improve digital empowerment. Rural governance is the cornerstone of national governance. The opinion points out that in rural areas, grid management and digital empowerment should be implemented, and the Internet plus government service should be extended to the countryside to expand the application scene of agricultural and rural big data. This is also in line with the guidance of "new urbanization" in China's coordinated development of urban and rural areas and the expansion of the radiation boundary of urban infrastructure. The positioning of digital economy in Rural Revitalization is not only to improve the efficiency of industrial prosperity, but also to solve the practical problems of rural government services, which will become an important part of the construction of rural information infrastructure.
Risk tip: the implementation of Rural Revitalization policy is not as expected.
