Promoting farmers' income has always been the key to solve the "three rural issues". Failure to increase farmers' income will not only affect the improvement of farmers' living standards, but also affect food production and agricultural product supply. It not only restricts the development of rural economy, but also restricts the growth of the whole national economy; It is not only related to the progress of rural society, but also to the realization of the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. In recent years, the domino effect of rural economic and social development caused by the slow growth of farmers' income has become a fundamental contradiction and problem related to the overall economic and social development.

The Third Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee clearly put forward the goal of doubling the per capita net income of farmers by 2020. This means that in the next 12 years, the average annual growth of farmers' net income should reach at least 6%. Considering the rising prices, it is difficult for relatively backward areas to achieve this goal. Especially with the intensification of the international financial crisis, the export growth rate of China's labor-intensive industries such as textiles and clothing has slowed down significantly, and many small and medium-sized enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions are facing the dilemma of stopping production or even closing down. Affected by it, as an important part of farmers' income, the growth momentum of farmers' wage income will inevitably reverse. Therefore, under the background of increasing uncertainties and unstable factors, it is necessary to improve farmers' income level as an important way to expand domestic demand. Only by actively planning new ideas of increasing farmers' income under the new situation and taking effective measures to enhance security, expand space and tap potential can the quality and level of increasing farmers' income be improved.

Establish a new concept of increasing farmers' income

At present, on the basis of strengthening agriculture and benefiting farmers, promoting farmers' income must change from a single policy orientation to a multi-dimensional leading role of science and technology, investment and market. Focus on improving farmers' production, operation and management level, coordinate urban and rural areas, agriculture and rural areas, pursue the quantity, quality and sustainability of farmers' income increase, increase support for agricultural and rural development, focus on ensuring farmers' equal rights and opportunities, and actively establish new ideas for farmers' income increase to solidly promote the construction of new countryside.

The idea of increasing income as a whole. Overall planning not only means overall planning of urban and rural areas, but also means overall planning of rural agriculture, promoting the optimal allocation of various agriculture-related elements and resources, and achieving up-and-down convergence and horizontal coordination. While continuing to intensify the efforts of "supplementing agriculture with industry and bringing countryside with cities", we should put the construction of new countryside at the strategic height of coordinating urban and rural economic and social development, deepen the interaction between urban and rural areas and workers and peasants, and form a mechanism for the whole society to participate in the construction of new countryside. Take the integration of financial funds to support agriculture and improve the efficiency of fund use as a lever to promote the scientific and rational reorganization of factor resources.

The concept of sustainable income increase means that the means of increasing farmers' income cannot be expedient and inexhaustible. While pursuing the quantity of income growth, we should also pursue the quality and sustainability of income growth. In recent years, the momentum of increasing farmers' income is good, but the long-term mechanism to promote farmers' income has not really been established, and it is necessary to realize the transformation from supporting agriculture and benefiting farmers in a plane to strengthening agriculture and benefiting farmers in a three-dimensional way. Accordingly, the core of promoting farmers' income increase should also shift from mobilizing farmers' enthusiasm for production to improving farmers' production and operation level, so as to ensure that "the momentum of increasing farmers' income will not fall back or slow down" with the continuous improvement of farmers' self-development ability.

The concept of building, sharing and increasing income. The construction of new countryside is a great inclusive project, the core of which is to increase farmers' income. Only by allowing farmers to benefit from the construction of new countryside can the construction of new countryside become farmers' conscious action. Promote co-construction by sharing, promote sharing by co-construction, promote sharing by co-construction and promote construction by sharing. While trying to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, we should vigorously strengthen rural infrastructure and rural social construction, safeguard farmers' equal rights and opportunities, and prevent and curb the widening gap within rural areas.

Suggestions on increasing farmers' income under the new situation

At present, we must base ourselves on reality and take effective measures to enhance security, expand space, tap potential and improve the quality and level of farmers' income.

Relying on continuing to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers, consolidate the foundation of increasing farmers' income, implement the policy of direct subsidy to grain farmers, and continuously increase grain income. We will increase support for major grain-producing areas, increase the "three awards and one subsidy" for major grain-producing counties, and strive to include more major grain-producing counties in the scope of state financial incentives for major grain-producing counties. It is necessary to implement the strictest farmland protection system, earnestly strengthen the construction of farmland water conservancy and farmland quality, and safeguard farmers' land contractual management rights according to law. We will increase comprehensive subsidies for agricultural means of production and establish a reserve system for important agricultural products. Conscientiously implement the policy of minimum purchase price of grain, maintain a reasonable level of grain prices, and ensure that farmers get benefits. At the same time, integrate agricultural funds, increase support for rural infrastructure construction, rural social construction, and poverty alleviation and development, and improve the investment efficiency of strengthening agriculture and benefiting farmers.

Focusing on effectively changing the mode of agricultural development, improving the quality and level of farmers' income increase, promoting the adjustment of agricultural and rural structure in a timely manner, taking measures such as discount loans and investment in shares, and focusing on supporting grain processing enterprises, animal husbandry enterprises and farmers. Establish a reasonable interest linkage mechanism between leading enterprises and farmers and actively promote agricultural industrialization. Develop conservation tillage and establish and improve the compensation mechanism of forest ecological benefits. Vigorously promote cost-saving and efficiency-increasing technologies, actively develop conservation-oriented agriculture, improve the utilization rate of inputs, and reduce agricultural production costs. Vigorously promote the rural ecological circular economy and accelerate the development of ecological agriculture and biomass industry. Expand the versatility of agriculture according to local conditions and build a modern agriculture with diverse functions, resource conservation and environmental friendliness.

Taking actively supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises as a breakthrough, we will expand the space for farmers to increase their income, further strengthen financial security, help enterprises solve difficulties, optimize government services, focus on supporting growth-oriented, supportive, scientific and technological and agricultural leading small and medium-sized enterprises, and accelerate economic restructuring and development mode transformation. Strengthen the technical training for migrant workers, focus on training a group of middle and senior technicians, and improve the comprehensive quality of migrant workers. Establish and improve the rural labor employment service system, broaden the channels of labor export, and actively explore new ways to expand rural labor transfer employment, such as government guidance, market allocation, professional training, enterprise operation, standardized operation, and comprehensive services. Encourage returning home to start businesses, attract more migrant workers and businessmen to return home to start businesses, and drive farmers to increase their income.

Focusing on accelerating the cultivation of modern new farmers, we will strengthen the knowledge and skills training of rural labor force through multiple channels, levels and forms, enhance farmers' income-increasing ability, actively cultivate new farmers with education, technology and management, comprehensively enhance farmers' self-development ability, and promote farmers' employment and income-increasing. Vigorously develop the secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas, and drive and guide the rural labor force to move nearby. Actively guide and support farmers to develop various professional cooperative economic organizations, implement preferential policies such as financial support and credit services, support a number of farmers' professional cooperative economic organizations with strong service functions and standardized internal operation, and improve the degree of farmers' organization. Vigorously develop microfinance, encourage farmers to start their own businesses, increase wealth accumulation, create property income and other new diversified income-increasing channels.

Taking vigorously integrating rural factor resources as a breakthrough, we should dig deep into the potential of increasing farmers' income, deepen the innovation of rural land contract management and grass-roots management system, activate farmers' professional cooperative economic organizations, entrepreneurs returning home, rural brokers and other rural economic development subjects, and revitalize land, capital, labor and other resources. Improve the rural financial system and market system. Give full play to the basic role of the market in allocating resources, promote the reform of land acquisition and household registration system, and gradually form a unified factor market between urban and rural areas. Vigorously guide talents, intelligence and capital to flow to rural areas, and support agriculture and serve farmers. We will continue to deepen the comprehensive rural reform with the reform of township institutions, rural compulsory education system and county and township financial management system as the main contents, enhance the vitality of rural economic development and promote the harmonious development of rural areas.
