Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has insisted on solving the problems concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers as the top priority of the whole party’s work, implemented the new development concept, and courageously promoted theoretical innovation, practical innovation and institutional innovation in the work concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers.

The spirit of this meeting has aroused heated discussion among authoritative experts. They said that the meeting viewed the issue of agriculture, rural areas and farmers from a political and strategic perspective, profoundly grasped the development law of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, profoundly expounded the great significance, major policies, objectives and tasks of rural revitalization, and pointed out the direction for the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
Enhance the sense of urgency in implementing the rural revitalization strategy
Over the past five years, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, agricultural departments at all levels have actively adapted to grasp and lead the new normal, faced problems squarely, overcome difficulties and worked hard, and made great achievements in agricultural and rural economic development, providing strong support for the overall economic and social development.
"In the past five years, the achievements of China’s agricultural and rural economic development have been historic. The comprehensive production capacity of agricultural products such as grain, the level of agricultural modernization and the income level of farmers have been significantly improved; The change is deep-seated. The agricultural production mode, management mode, resource utilization mode, the relationship between supply and demand of agricultural products, the relationship between workers and peasants and urban and rural areas have undergone profound changes, and the concept of agricultural green development has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. These achievements and changes have marked a new starting point for China’s agricultural and rural economic development, entered a new era, and started a new journey of building an agricultural power in an all-round way. " Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu pointed out.
The meeting pointed out that whether agriculture is strong or not, whether rural areas are beautiful or not, and whether farmers are rich or not, determine the sense of acquisition and happiness of hundreds of millions of farmers, and determine the quality of China’s comprehensive well-off society and the quality of socialist modernization. To achieve the goal of the first century-long struggle as scheduled and move towards the goal of the second century-long struggle, the most arduous and arduous task is in the countryside, with the widest and deepest foundation and the greatest potential and stamina in the countryside.
"Implementing the rural revitalization strategy has both a clear goal orientation and a clear problem orientation. Unbalanced urban and rural development and inadequate rural development are prominent manifestations of major social contradictions in China in the new era, which must be solved well. At present, there are many problems in the unbalanced development of agricultural and rural economy, which are mainly reflected in the unbalanced quantity and quality of agricultural products supply and the insufficient development of agricultural quality; The scale and benefit of agricultural production are unbalanced, and the benefits of agriculture are not fully realized; The production and ecological functions of agriculture are unbalanced, and the ecological functions of agriculture are not fully exerted. If these problems are not solved well, rural revitalization will not be realized smoothly. " Han Changfu said.
Kong Xiangzhi, a professor at the School of Agriculture and Rural Development of Renmin University of China, pointed out that the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy is an important decision made by the CPC Central Committee from the overall situation of the cause of the party and the country, focusing on realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and conforming to the yearning of hundreds of millions of farmers for a better life.
