The general office of the State Council issued an urgent notice to clarify the grain purchase policy this autumn

Introduction: in recent years, the reform of grain circulation system has been deepened and achieved remarkable results In the case of serious oversupply of grain, the policy of open purchase of surplus grain of farmers according to the protection price has effectively protected the interests of grain farmers Last year, we differentiated the situation between the main grain selling areas and the main producing areas, accelerated the market-oriented reform of grain purchase and sale, and opened up the grain purchasing market in the main selling areas Practice has proved that this is completely correct and the effect of implementation is good At present, due to the oversupply of grain, the low market price, the heavy task of planting structure adjustment in the main production area, and the few channels of increasing farmers' income, grain planting is still the main source of farmers' income in the main production area In order to protect the interests of farmers, the State Council has made it clear that all regions should continue to implement the opinions of the State Council on further deepening the reform of grain circulation system (GF [2001] No 28) In this year's grain purchase in major production areas, we will continue to implement the guidelines and policies set by the Central Committee At present, the autumn harvest is coming Under the premise of sticking to the policy of purchasing surplus grain of farmers according to the protection price, the main production areas can make their own decisions and make some necessary adjustments and improvements 76x 1 The main grain producing areas should continue to adhere to the policy of purchasing farmers' surplus grain according to the protection price State owned grain purchase and sale enterprises and other enterprises approved to enter the market shall continue to purchase the surplus grain of farmers at the protection price The state-owned grain purchase and sale enterprises should deepen the reform, continue to play the role of the main channel of grain purchase, strictly implement the national grain purchase policy, and do not limit the receipt, reject or depress the price of the grain listed in the purchase scope of protection price The Agricultural Development Bank of China should continue to improve its services It should issue loans in full and on time for the grain purchased and sold by state-owned grain purchasing and selling enterprises at the protected price In view of the shortage of storage capacity of state-owned grain purchase and sale enterprises in the main production areas at present, loans for simple granary can be increased appropriately, and the provincial finance will give full discount of interest throughout the whole process 76x 2 Reasonably arrange the purchase scope of protection price and further implement the policy of high quality and good price We should take effective measures to further implement the policy of high quality and good price, actively guide farmers to produce food varieties that meet the needs of the market, promote the adjustment of planting structure and increase farmers' income All relevant regions should appropriately narrow the scope of protection price acquisition according to changes in market demand For the varieties with poor quality, serious backlog, impact on resources and environment, and unsalable market, they can withdraw from the purchase of protection price; for the low-level part of grain, they can also withdraw from the purchase of protection price How much the scope of protection price acquisition has been reduced? Please weigh carefully according to the actual situation, and pay attention to protecting the interests of farmers We should effectively strengthen the monitoring, analysis and release of information on grain supply and demand and market prices, especially the regular release of market and price information on high-quality grain varieties, help farmers correctly grasp the market situation, and guide farmers to optimize the planting structure 76x 3 Reasonably determine the protection price level and pay attention to the regional price difference and quality price difference The protection price should be able to compensate farmers for the cost of grain production, and enable farmers to obtain appropriate benefits At present, the price of grain in the market is relatively low, and the level of protection price cannot be lower than or only equal to the market price In general, it is necessary to ensure the increase of farmers' income The specific level of the protection price shall be determined by the provincial government in accordance with the principles specified by the State Council At the same time, it is necessary to pull apart the quality difference and the regional difference, and do a good job in connecting the neighboring provinces (autonomous regions), and the relevant departments should strengthen guidance The main production areas, especially the Northeast production areas, should combine the regional characteristics of local grain circulation, according to the principle of "decreasing by distance", and according to the grain flow direction, properly open the price difference between regions, along the railway and along the non railway, and the price difference level should be able to compensate the transportation cost and promote the orderly circulation of grain Since 2002, the quality standards of Japonica Rice and Maize in Northeast China have been implemented It is necessary to open the quality difference of the same variety of grain and arrange the seasonal difference so as to encourage farmers to plant high-quality varieties of grain and increase the labor input for sorting, selection and drying after harvest 76x the relevant provinces and regions in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Inner Mongolia and Northeast China shall, in accordance with the principles that have been determined by the State Council, jointly negotiate and work out the specific level, quality difference and regional difference in the purchase price of autumn grain Relevant departments shall assist local governments in price connection When formulating and publishing the local specific grain purchase price, we should strictly follow the convergence opinions determined through consultation 76x4 Ensure that food risk funds are in place in full and on time The grain risk fund is the necessary condition to carry out the policy of purchasing the surplus grain according to the protection price The grain risk fund subsidized by the central government is in place in time and in full every year, and the subsidy of this year has been transferred to the special account of Agricultural Development Bank of China as required However, some places, especially the supporting parts of the main production areas are not in place, which affects the implementation of the protection price acquisition policy The grain risk fund subsidized by the central government should never be reduced, and the local supporting part should also be ensured in place Local governments at all levels must strengthen budget fund management, first of all, ensure that food risk funds are paid in time and cannot reduce the scale of food risk funds If the food risk fund is divided into cities and counties, but the cities and counties are not in place, the provincial finance must be supplemented according to the requirements of the provincial governor responsibility system 76 x 5 Vigorously adjust the agricultural planting structure and accelerate the pace of returning farmland to forest or wetland We should actively guide farmers to adjust their planting structure according to market demand At the same time, we should seize the favorable opportunity of grain abundance at present, and speed up the process of returning farmland to forests and wetlands where it is necessary to do so Not only sloping land and sandy land should be converted to forest, but also reclaimed forest land, grassland and wetland This can not only protect and improve the ecological environment, but also promote the increase of farmers' income, and alleviate the current contradiction of over supply of grain All relevant regions must pay close attention to this matter At present, all regions have entered the autumn grain purchase season All regions and departments should pay attention to the grain purchase and protect the interests of farmers in accordance with the requirements of the important thought of "Three Represents" All relevant departments should continue to give support and support to the main grain producing areas, help local governments to improve storage conditions, actively expand grain exports, and effectively solve the difficulties in grain purchase.
