2015 food reform four major problems

The grain circulation work in 2015 focuses on reforms in four aspects: first, deepen the reform of the grain collection and storage system; second, improve the food reserve handling mechanism; third, accelerate the reform of grain enterprises; and fourth, actively participate in the trial of target price reform.

Xu Shaoshi, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the meeting that the 2014 grain circulation work has achieved remarkable results, and in addition to achieving an “eleven-year increase” in total grain output, measures have been taken to effectively resolve the contradiction between storage and storage. A total of 729.8 billion kilograms of grain were purchased by various grain companies across the country, an increase of 40.9 billion kilograms from the previous year. In addition, last year the national food system focused on promoting a number of reforms: the implementation of the document on the responsibility of the Governor of Food Security, the reduction of food administrative approvals, the establishment of a new food circulation statistics system, and the active exploration of a new policy-based grain collection and storage mechanism. The plan to increase the scale of local food reserves has laid a good foundation for further deepening reforms this year.

Ren Zhengxiao, director of the National Grain Administration, stated that under the background of the accelerating strategic adjustment of China’s economic structure, the globalization of food trade, and the deepening of the degree of marketization of grain purchases and sales, various contradictions in the operation of the domestic grain market have been accumulated and accumulated as a total supply of grain. Balanced balance and the phased excess of some varieties, the price of the trustee market is facing the contradiction between double-extrusion and the protection of the interests of grain and agriculture, the appropriate use of international food resources and the impact of imported food on the domestic market. Therefore, how to adapt to the new situation of China's economic development and the new situation of the grain market, properly resolve the contradictions of high import pressures and domestic difficulties, better protect the interests of grain farmers, steadily develop grain production, maintain the stability of grain markets, and ensure national food security It is a major issue facing the food industry at present and in the future.

Xu Shaoshi said that in the face of the new nature of China’s economic development and the phased nature of grain circulation, it is necessary to adhere to the overall tone of the work of stability and progress, to comprehensively deepen the reform of grain circulation, and to modernize the grain circulation capacity. In deepening the reform of the grain collection and storage system, the core is to implement the responsibility system of the provincial governor of food security, give full play to the enthusiasm of the central government and the local government, actively explore and encourage and guide the leading enterprises of agricultural industrialization to develop the purchase of orders, and improve the food reserve handling mechanism. On the other hand, it is necessary to gradually establish a coordination mechanism for local reserves and central reserves. In accelerating the reform of grain enterprises, the reform of grain enterprises requires the administrative departments to further simplify their powers, abolish and deregulate some administrative examination and approval matters in the grain circulation field, and also clean up non-executives. Approval matters. We must actively promote the merger, reorganization, and industrialization of grain enterprises. In addition, as for the trials of the target price reform of agricultural products that began last year, we must keep track of the implementation of the pilot reforms of soybean target prices, conduct in-depth research on the issue of grain collection and storage after the trial of target prices, and put forward suggestions for improving the subsidy method.

In order to deepen the reform of the grain storage and storage system, Ren Zhengxiao stated that in the future, it is necessary to establish central reserves and local reserves to perform their duties and to coordinate and complement each other so as to form a joint force of reserve regulation. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of the government's food reserve supervision system, improve the regulatory mechanism for the government's food reserve handling, and promote the openness and transparency of the procurement, sales, rotation, and other aspects of the reserve grain so that the reserve grain can better serve the macro-control of grain.
