What does agricultural subsidy mean?

Agricultural subsidies refer to direct subsidies to grain farmers, improved varieties subsidies to supplement grain farmers, comprehensive subsidies for agricultural materials and so on.

Comprehensive subsidy for agricultural materials refers to a direct subsidy system implemented by the government for farmers to purchase agricultural means of production (including chemical fertilizers, diesel oil, seeds and agricultural machinery). Considering the changing factors that affect farmers' grain production cost and income, we should ensure the relative stability of farmers' grain production income and promote national food security through comprehensive direct subsidies of agricultural materials and various subsidies. Its funds come from the grain risk fund and are allocated through the special account of the grain risk fund.

Subsidy target:

According to the Measures for the Administration of Agricultural Support and Protection Subsidies, agricultural support and protection subsidies are used for the protection of cultivated land fertility and the moderate scale operation of grain. It can be seen that agricultural support and protection subsidies are actually divided into "land compensation" and "food compensation". The former subsidizes land contractors, while the latter subsidizes land growers. The support targets are mainly new business entities such as large grain growers, family farms, farmers' cooperatives, and agricultural socialized service organizations, which reflects that "whoever has multiple kinds of grain will have priority".

Subsidy process:

The applicant will register with the village committee and verify the relevant information. After the information is verified, it will be publicized in the village Committee for at least 7 days. During this period, if you have any objection to the information, you can appeal to the village Committee, the town government and other relevant departments, and the subsidy will be paid through the Huimin subsidy "one-fold (card) pass".

Subsidy basis and standard:

According to the local actual situation, choose one from the second-round contracted cultivated land area or the confirmed cultivated land area as the subsidy basis. In actual implementation, the area that does not meet the subsidy conditions is actually reduced on the basis of the registration and certification area of rural land contracting, and the area that has not yet been registered and certified is based on the area of household contracted land.

The subsidy standard is determined by all localities according to the total amount of subsidy funds and the determined subsidy basis.

Legal basis:

Deepen the comprehensive implementation plan of rural reform

Ii. key areas and major initiatives (iii) improving the agricultural support and protection system 12. Improve the agricultural subsidy system. Maintain the continuity and stability of agricultural subsidy policy, adjust and improve the "yellow box" support policy, gradually expand the implementation scale and scope of "green box" support policy, and improve the efficiency of agricultural subsidy policy. We will carry out the pilot reform of agricultural subsidies, merge the existing "three subsidies" (improved crop varieties subsidies, direct grain subsidies and comprehensive agricultural subsidies) into "agricultural support and protection subsidies", optimize the direction of subsidies, and highlight the protection of cultivated land and food security. Maintain the convergence with the existing policies, adjust some existing funds and new subsidy funds to all kinds of new agricultural business entities with moderate scale operation, and reasonably determine the support strength, so as not to be artificially "dominant". Further broaden the channels of financial support for agriculture, highlight the key points of financial support for agriculture, continuously increase investment in agricultural infrastructure construction and comprehensive agricultural development, improve the input mechanism for promoting agricultural scientific and technological progress and strengthening farmers' skills training, increase support for agricultural structural adjustment, and increase support for agricultural inputs and the purchase of agricultural machinery and tools. Improve the interest compensation mechanism in major grain producing areas. Improve the fast and efficient way to distribute subsidy funds, and encourage qualified places to explore ways to increase farmers' income subsidies.
