Agricultural overview of Shanghai Agricultural Committee

Shanghai’s agricultural area includes six districts: Pudong New Area, Minhang, Jiading, Baoshan, Jinshan, and Songjiang, and four counties: Nanhui, Fengxian, Qingpu, and Chongming, as well as the rural parts of a few towns in the central area (hereinafter collectively referred to as Shanghai suburb), covering an area of ??approximately 5,900 square kilometers. *** has 9 townships, 198 towns, 2,939 villages, 28,638 villager groups, as well as 16 state-owned farms of the Municipal Agricultural Industry and Commerce (Group) Corporation and the Municipal Labor Reform Bureau. The total number of rural households is 1.329 million, the rural population is 3.8454 million, the total rural labor force is 2.2682 million, and there are 848,700 agricultural employees. In accordance with the requirements put forward by the Communist Party of China Shanghai Municipal Committee and Municipal People's Government that "Shanghai agriculture must transform from suburban to urban and improve the level of modernization", efforts are being stepped up to accelerate agricultural marketization, intensification, science and technology, and industrialization. ization process.

There are 4.26 million acres of cultivated land in the suburbs of Shanghai, including about 3.1 million acres of grain fields. The total sown area of ??crops is 8.2 million acres, including 5.2 million acres of grain crops and 3 million acres of cash crops. acres; the grain-to-economic ratio is 66:34. In order to improve the level of agricultural production, we focused on "high-quality" demonstrations and built more than 50,000 acres of "high-quality, high-quality" agricultural demonstration areas and 220,000 acres of "three-high" grain fields. The scientific and technological content of grain production has also been greatly improved. A batch of new rice and wheat varieties with better quality and higher yields have been promoted on a large scale. The area popularized by modern rice agronomy such as seedling throwing, direct seeding, and milk seedling throwing planting accounts for 85% of the rice area. The construction of the "rice bag" project is making steady progress towards the goal of "high yield, high quality, low consumption and high efficiency"; in order to promote agricultural efficiency and farmers' income, a new round of structural adjustment of the planting industry has been launched.

The focus of forestry production is to reach the greening standards of Shanghai suburban plains by the end of this century (forest coverage rate is 9%, with a forest area of ??354,000 acres, 63 million trees on the “four sides” are preserved, and the town greening coverage rate is 20%), implement the "Four Ones" (rivers, roads, towns, and agricultural demonstration areas) greening image project, and promote afforestation on a point-by-point basis. There are 350,000 acres of forest land in the suburbs, with 50 million preserved trees on all sides. The farmland forest network control rate is about 50%, and the forest coverage rate is about 8%. The construction of the forestry industry system focuses on the construction of the flower industry and seedling bases focusing on fresh-cut flower bulbs and seedlings. Shanghai has become one of the largest flower distribution centers in the country. State-owned forest farms and nurseries implement "one industry as the main industry and diversified operations". More than 140 greening engineering companies have been established one after another. Forestry industrialization integrating flower, seedling production and greening engineering in the suburbs of Shanghai is emerging in an orderly manner.

In the production of non-staple food, focusing on the construction and improvement of a new round of "vegetable basket" projects, while stably increasing production, the focus is on invigorating circulation. The production of vegetables, fruits, edible fungi, pigs, poultry, eggs, milk and fish has increased steadily. The market has sufficient supply, rich varieties, and stable prices. Shanghai has formed more than 120 vegetable-based transportation and marketing organizations, more than 60 side dish companies, and more than 30 non-staple food wholesale markets. They are being rationally allocated and optimized, further strengthening the construction of hardware and software, and improving the internal operating mechanism. Provide civilized services.

The gradual establishment of the socialist market economic system and the sustained, rapid and healthy development of Shanghai's economy have accelerated the intensification, technologicalization, industrialization and modernization of Shanghai's suburban agriculture. The total power of existing agricultural machinery is 1.31 million kilowatts, with an average of 0.3 kilowatts per mu of cultivated land. On the basis of mechanization of farming, drainage and irrigation, plant protection, threshing, agricultural product transportation and processing, the area of ??mechanical sowing and mechanical harvesting has been further expanded. The area with guaranteed yields due to droughts and floods accounts for 99.4% of the cultivated land area. The strategy of developing agriculture through science and technology has been effectively implemented. The coverage rate of improved grain and vegetable varieties has reached 90%. Five intelligent greenhouses introduced from the Netherlands and Israel have explored the application of modern high technology for 15 hectares of vegetable and flower production. The contribution rate of suburban agricultural science and technology has reached more than 50%. Agricultural industrialization based on leading enterprises, production bases and distribution networks has made new progress. The suburbs have established 81 large-scale leading enterprises that integrate the production, processing and marketing of agricultural and sideline products, with annual sales of about 10 billion yuan, and a commercial grain base of 600,000 acres for large-scale production.

Shanghai’s agriculture accounts for a very small proportion of the city’s GDP, about 2%. However, agriculture still plays an important foundation and supporting role for economic development and social stability. On the basis that Shanghai's suburban rural areas have all reached the standard of moderately prosperous living standards in 1994, they are gradually moving towards higher goals.
