The Construction of Support Policy System for Rural Revitalization

By Prof. Chen Chibo

On the morning of March 8, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the rural revitalization strategies in the meeting with Henan delegation. On March 8, he put forward a scientific conclusion of "Five Revitalizations of Rural Areas", namely the revitalization of rural industry, talents, culture, ecology and organization when meeting the Shandong delegation at the Two Sessions in 2018. This shows that the General Secretary has attached great importance to rural revitalization.

In accordance with the objectives and tasks of the three-step strategy of rural revitalization, by 2020, significant progress need to be made in rural revitalization, and the institutional framework and policy system need to be basically formed. Therefore, constructing the support policy system and strengthening the policy support is the guarantee for rural revitalization. At present, less of talents, land and funds are the greatest disadvantage in implementing the strategy of rural revitalization. In order to build a supporting policy system for rural revitalization and adhere to the general principle of giving priority to the development of agriculture and countryside, we must give priority to the allocation of management personal concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers, to the allocation of development elements for agriculture, rural areas and farmers, to the guarantee of investment in agriculture, rural areas and public services, and to the allocation of resources such as people, land and money to rural revitalization.

Firstly, establishing and improving the rural talent incentive policy to solve the problem of human resource; cultivating the "three rural" work force that knows agriculture and loves countryside and farmers; cultivating new professional farmers with culture, technology and management background; cultivating family farms, peasant cooperatives, leading enterprises and other new business entities; guiding all kinds of social talents to join in the cause of rural revitalization through incentive policies.

Second, establishing and improving the policy in rural land resources, and solve the land problem; speeding up the reform of rural land system and improving the "separation of powers" method; Utilizing the unused land in rural areas and making good use of collective construction land, and guarantee the supporting land for rural industrial development.

Thirdly, we should establish and improve the policy system of multiple and long-term investment for rural revitalization and solve the capital problem.

We should optimize the financial expenditure, intensify financial support for agriculture, improve the system of agricultural support and protection, promote agricultural financial reform and innovation, encourage capital to promote rural revitalization, encourage industrial and commercial enterprises to invest in agriculture and rural areas, give full play to the power of social capital, and broaden the financing channels for rural revitalization.
