Are food subsidies and land subsidies a kind of subsidy?

Direct grain subsidy, also known as cultivated land fertility subsidy, is what we farmers call "land subsidy". In 20 16 years, China began to implement the reform of "three subsidies": direct grain subsidy, comprehensive agricultural subsidy and improved crop seed subsidy, which were collectively called grain cultivated land fertility subsidy after merger.

The specific contents of direct land subsidies and grain production subsidies are basically the same, including:

1. Direct grain subsidy policy.

In order to stabilize and develop grain production and protect the interests of grain farmers, the subsidy funds previously given by the state to state-owned grain enterprises were changed into direct subsidies to grain farmers.

2. Comprehensive subsidy policy for agricultural materials.

Referred to as "comprehensive direct subsidy", it is a subsidy provided by the state to grain farmers in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the price reform of agricultural means of production such as refined oil, pesticides, fertilizers and agricultural films and reduce the cost of grain production.

3. Improve the seed subsidy policy.

Improved seed subsidy refers to the subsidy given by the state to farmers to choose high-quality crop varieties. The purpose is to support farmers to actively use excellent crop seeds and improve the coverage rate of improved varieties. In 20 1 1 year, the scale of subsidies for improved varieties was further expanded, and the standards of some varieties were further improved.

The purpose of grain production subsidies

Since 20 16, the reform of "three subsidies" in agriculture has been carried out all over the country, that is, the "three subsidies" in agriculture have been merged into agricultural support and protection subsidies, and the policy objectives have been adjusted to support the protection of cultivated land fertility and the moderate scale operation of grain.

(1) Strengthen the protection of cultivated land fertility. Subsidy funds for the protection of cultivated land fertility, the subsidy object is in principle the farmers who have the right to contract cultivated land; Subsidies can be based on the second-round contracted arable land area, taxable arable land area, confirmed arable land area or grain planting area. The specific type or types of districts shall be determined by the provincial people's government in combination with local conditions;

Encourage all localities to innovate ways and means, take the green ecology as the guide, improve the comprehensive utilization level of crop straw, and guide farmers to comprehensively take measures such as returning straw to fields, subsoiling soil preparation, reducing the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and applying organic fertilizers. , strengthen the protection of agricultural ecological resources, and consciously improve the fertility of cultivated land.

(2) Promoting moderate scale operation of grain. In principle, the subsidy funds for moderate-scale operation of grain are arranged from the agricultural support and protection subsidy funds at the scale of 20 16 every year, and adjusted in the same proportion according to the budget arrangement of agricultural support and protection subsidies in the future.

The support targets are mainly inclined to new business entities such as large grain growers, family farms, farmers' cooperatives and agricultural socialized service organizations, reflecting that "whoever has a variety of grains will give priority to support". All localities should adhere to the principle of suiting measures to local conditions, being simple, efficient, fair and reasonable, further optimize the allocation of resources, and improve agricultural productivity, land output rate and resource utilization rate.

Encourage all localities to innovate their support methods for new business entities, support new business entities to develop various forms of moderate-scale grain operations by means of discount loans, major technology promotion and service subsidies, and discourage direct cash subsidies for new business entities.

The new business entity can be given a discount of not more than 50% of the loan interest. For major technology promotion and service subsidies, materialized subsidies can be given in the form of "service first and then subsidies".

legal ground

"Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of Grain Circulation System" points out: From 2004, direct subsidies to grain farmers will be fully implemented; The standard of direct subsidy is determined according to the principle that it can compensate the cost of grain production, make grain farmers get appropriate income, help mobilize farmers' enthusiasm for grain production and promote grain production; Direct subsidy is aimed at grain farmers in the main producing areas; Direct subsidy method can subsidize agricultural taxable area, regular production subsidy according to tax, subsidy according to grain planting area, and subsidy according to the quantity of commodity grain sold by grain farmers; Direct subsidy funds should really be paid to grain farmers, which will really play a role in promoting grain production, increasing the income of grain farmers and ensuring that grain farmers get benefits.
