The overall requirements for agricultural and rural work in 2005 are: to conscientiously implement the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the CPC and the 3rd and 4th Plenary Sessions of the 16th CPC Central Committee, to comprehensively implement the scientific outlook on development, to adhere to the strategy of integrating urban and rural development, to adhere to the policy of "give more, take less, and let go of the work", to stabilize, improve, and intensify the policies of supporting the agricultural sector, and to effectively strengthen the construction of comprehensive production capacity in agriculture, to continue the adjustment of agricultural and rural development, and to continue the development of the agricultural sector. We will continue to build comprehensive agricultural production capacity, continue to adjust the structure of agriculture and the rural economy, further deepen rural reforms, and strive to achieve stable increases in food production and sustained increases in farmers' incomes, as well as to promote comprehensive economic and social development in rural areas.
Strengthening the foundation of agriculture and prospering the rural economy must continue to take comprehensive measures. At present and in the coming period, to strengthen the construction of agricultural infrastructure, accelerate the progress of agricultural science and technology, and improve the comprehensive production capacity of agriculture, as a major and urgent strategic task, and effectively grasp. This is both the material basis for ensuring national food security, but also to promote the necessary conditions for farmers to increase their incomes; both the urgent need to solve the current outstanding contradictions in agricultural development, but also a strategic choice to enhance the strength of agricultural development; both to promote the development of the rural economy is a major initiative, but also to realize the important guarantee of social progress in rural areas. Seize this focus, we have seized the key to agricultural development; grasp this link, we have grasped the fundamental modernization of agriculture; do a good job, we have laid a solid foundation for the comprehensive construction of a well-off society in rural areas. We should further mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers and local governments to focus on agriculture and food, strictly protect arable land as the basis for strengthening the construction of farmland water conservancy as the focus to promote scientific and technological progress as the support for a sound service system as a guarantee, and strive after several years of hard work, so that the material and technological conditions of agriculture has improved significantly, the land output rate and labor productivity has increased significantly, and the overall efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture has been significantly enhanced. Obviously strengthened.
I. Stabilize, improve and strengthen policies to support agricultural development, and further mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers
(a) continue to increase the "two exemptions, three subsidies" and other policy implementation. Agricultural tax relief, the abolition of agricultural special production tax except tobacco, grain farmers to implement direct subsidies to farmers, farmers in some areas to implement seed subsidies and subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery, is the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in order to strengthen agriculture and food production to take major measures to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to grow food, to protect and improve the production capacity of food is of great significance. These well-established policies must not be changed, the benefits to farmers must not be reduced, and the support for agriculture must be continuously increased. The scope of agricultural tax exemptions will be further expanded, and agricultural tax reductions will be increased; in 2005, pilot agricultural tax exemptions will be implemented in counties that are the focus of national poverty-alleviation and development efforts, and agricultural tax rates will be further reduced in other areas. In pastoral areas, a pilot program was launched to abolish the pastoral tax. State-owned agricultural reclamation enterprises are implementing the same agricultural tax reduction and exemption policies as their locations. Local fiscal revenues reduced by the reduction or exemption of agricultural (pastoral) tax shall be appropriately subsidized by the central financial authorities through special transfer payments. Places with the necessary conditions may decide on their own to carry out pilot agricultural tax exemptions. Direct subsidies for grain farmers will continue to be implemented, and where conditions exist, the subsidies may be further increased. The central government will continue to increase the funds for seed subsidies and subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery, and local governments will also have to arrange a certain amount of funds for seed subsidies and subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery in accordance with local financial resources and the actual situation of agricultural development. The central government will continue to implement the minimum purchase price policy for key grain varieties in the main production areas, and will gradually establish and improve the system and mechanism for stabilizing grain market prices and protecting the interests of grain farmers. Improve the supply and market management of agricultural production materials, continue to implement the policy of limiting the ex-factory price of fertilizers, rationally regulate the import and export of fertilizers by means of taxation and other means, control the excessively rapid rise in the price of agricultural materials, and rigorously crack down on the production and sale of counterfeit and shoddy agricultural production materials and other agricultural practices that harm farmers and peasants.
(2) Effectively strengthen the support for the main grain-producing areas. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of local governments to develop grain production and alleviate the financial difficulties of counties and townships in the central and western regions, especially in the main grain-producing areas, the central government should take effective measures to give incentives and subsidies to the main grain-producing counties through transfers based on factors such as the area of grain sown, the output and the volume of commodities. To establish a mechanism for coordinating the interests between the main grain-producing areas and the main marketing areas, to adjust the proportion of subsidies from the central government to the Grain Risk Fund, and to mobilize a certain amount of funds through other economic means to support the main grain-producing areas to strengthen the construction of production capacity, the relevant departments should study and put forward a concrete implementation plan as a matter of urgency.
