In recent years, Linyi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have attached great importance to county economy and adopted a series of policies and measures to promote the development of county economy, but the overall strength of our city and county is still weak in the whole province. Among the 30 economically strong counties in the province, there is no position in our city, which is far from the top 100 in China. Compared with other cities, especially with coastal and central Shandong cities, there is still a gap in the county economic strength of our city. Strengthening the county economy is of great significance for our city to step into the advanced ranks of economic development in the whole province and even the whole country as soon as possible and realize an all-round well-off society at an early date. On the basis of analyzing the present situation of county economy development in our city, this paper puts forward some reference suggestions for speeding up the development of county economy.
First, the basic situation of the county economy in our city
(A) Analysis of the overall situation of the city
1, the county share is large. Among 139 counties and cities in our province, counties account for 12 1 (including county-level cities and municipal districts with more than 60% rural population, the same below). There are three districts and nine counties in our city, all of which are in the whole province, among which Yinan, Cangshan, Feixian, Pingyi and Junan are economically underdeveloped counties. Weifang 12 counties (urban areas) are listed as 1 1, among which Qingzhou, Zhucheng and Shouguang are three economically strong counties; Six counties (urban areas) in Tai 'an are listed as five, of which xintai city and Feicheng are economically strong counties and Dongping county is economically underdeveloped counties. Weihai ranks third in four counties (urban areas), and Wendeng City, Rongcheng City and Rushan City are all economically strong counties; Jining 12 counties (urban areas) are listed as 1 1, among which Qufu, Yanzhou and Zoucheng are economically strong counties, and Jiaxiang, Wenshang and Liangshan are economically underdeveloped counties. Dezhou has 1 1 counties (urban areas), among which Lingxian, Ningjin, Qingyun, Pingyuan and Wucheng are economically underdeveloped counties.
In terms of county population, at the end of 2002, the county population in our city was10085,000, and at the end of 2003 it was1010500, with little change in other cities. The number of county units in our city accounts for one tenth of the whole province, and the county population accounts for 12.3% of the whole province, which is the city with the largest number of county units and population in the whole province. Our city has a large share of counties and cities and a large population, and the county economy is often in a weak position in the whole social and economic development, which reflects from one aspect that the social and economic development of the whole city is more difficult than that of the sister cities.
2. The total regional GDP is not small, but the per capita level is not high. In 2002,
The county GDP of our city is 62.205 billion yuan (excluding the enterprises above the municipal level in Linyi, the same below), ranking fifth in the province. In 2003, the county GDP was 74.05 billion yuan, lower than Weifang and Jining, and higher than Tai 'an, Weihai and Dezhou. Judging from the per capita GDP of counties, in 2002, our city was 6 167 yuan (the per capita figure used in this paper is the cumulative number at the end of the year divided by the population at the end of the year, the same below), and in 2003 it was 7324 yuan, higher than Weifang (10592 yuan), Tai 'an (9299 yuan), Weihai (32392 yuan) and Jining. The five cities are 1.45 times, 1.27 times, 4.43 times, 1.46 times and 1.26 times that of Linyi respectively. Judging from the above picture, the gap of per capita GDP in our city is widening.
In 2003, according to the situation of 12 1 counties and cities in the whole province, the GDP of Yishui, Lanshan and Tancheng ranked 39, 42 and 46 respectively. The GDP growth rate of the three districts ranked 33, 15 and 5 1 respectively, while the GDP growth rate of other counties ranked 66, and the per capita GDP of Yinan, Cangshan and Junan ranked 100. The GDP of five underdeveloped counties (Yinan, Cangshan, Feixian, Pingyi and Junan) ranks in the top five among the 30 underdeveloped counties in the province, but the growth rate and per capita possession are in the middle and lower reaches of the 30 underdeveloped counties except Feixian.
3. The per capita local fiscal revenue is low. In 2002, the local fiscal revenue of our cities and counties was 2.089 billion yuan, and the per capita income was 207. 10 yuan, which was 65.438+032.73 yuan lower than that of the whole province. By 2003, the local fiscal revenue of counties in our city was 2.392 billion yuan, and the per capita income was 236.6 yuan. As can be seen from the figure, the gap between the per capita fiscal revenue of our city and other cities is widening.
Judging from the local fiscal revenue of 12 1 county in 2003, Lanshan and Yishui ranked 34th and 35th respectively, Junan ranked 59th, the other four weak counties all ranked 75th, and Hedong District and Mengyin County all ranked behind 100. Judging from the fiscal revenue of weak counties, except Cangshan, they all entered the top ten of 30 weak counties, and Junan County ranked first among the weak counties, but the per capita fiscal revenue was relatively backward except Junan 12. Junan County, where local fiscal revenue accounts for the highest proportion of GDP, ranks 18 among weak counties, while Yinan, Pingyi, Feixian and Cangshan rank 24th, 27th, 28th and 30th respectively.
4. The total added value of industrial enterprises above designated size is in the middle, with a low growth rate. In 2003, the industrial added value of our city and county was 65.438+05.243 billion yuan, which was higher than that of Dezhou (65.438+065.438+094.6 million yuan), basically the same as that of Tai 'an (65.438+053.55438+000 million yuan), and higher than that of Weihai (365.438+000 million yuan).
Blue Mountain ranks 26th in the whole province 12 1 county, Luo Zhuang ranks 49th, and the rest are relatively backward, among which Hedong, Yinan, Cangshan and Mengyin are all behind the hundred. By country, the growth rate ranks 60th, and the growth rates of Luo Zhuang, Yinan and Yishui rank 1 17, 1 19, 1 12 respectively. Feixian and Junan ranked 6th and 8th respectively in the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, and Yinan and Cangshan ranked 17 and 20th respectively. The growth rate of five weak counties ranks 23rd among 30 weak counties.
5. The non-agricultural structure is similar to Jining and Tai 'an, but the gap with Weihai is obvious. In 2002, the structure of added value of agriculture and non-agricultural industries in counties of our city was 19.2: 80.8, and in 2003 it was 16.8:83.2, which was similar to Jining and Tai 'an. The proportion of non-agricultural industries is 4.2 percentage points lower than that of Weihai, and the gap is obvious.
6. The growth rate of import and export is relatively fast, and the absolute quantity gap is still outstanding. In 2002, the total import and export of counties in our city was US$ 530 million, Weifang was US$ 65.438+0.3 billion and Weihai was US$ 65.438+0.8 billion, which were 2.4 times and 2 times that of Linyi respectively. In 2003, the total import and export of counties in our city was US$ 940 million, Weifang and other cities were US$ 65.438+0.68 billion, Weihai was US$ 65.438+0.54 billion, Jining was US$ 430 million, Dezhou was US$ 220 million and Tai 'an was US$ 65.438+0.90 billion. Compared with Weifang and Weihai, the multiple difference is reduced, but the absolute difference is still $740 million and $600 million.
Judging from the export of counties and districts in the province, except for 27 in Junan and 28 in Luo Zhuang, all other counties and districts of 10 are between 40 and 98; The total exports of the five weak counties of Junan, Feixian, Cangshan, Pingyi and Yinan account for 1, 3, 6, 7 and 14 respectively, and the proportion of exports to GDP ranks at 1, 7, 10, 12 and 65 respectively.
7. The actual utilization of foreign capital is better than Tai 'an and Jining, but there is a big gap with Weifang and Weihai. In 2002, the actual utilization of foreign capital in counties of our city was 77 million US dollars, and in 2003 it was 229 million US dollars, lower than Weifang's 458 million US dollars, Weihai's 703 million US dollars and Dezhou's 276 million US dollars, higher than Tai 'an's 78 million US dollars and Jining's 65.438+0.06 million US dollars. Judging from the actual utilization of foreign capital, Weifang and Weihai are also pregnant with greater import and export stamina.
In terms of counties in the whole province, except for country-specific ones (23) and Luo Zhuang (24), 7 counties in other 10 are behind 100. In Cangshan, Junan, Feixian, Pingyi and Yinan, the proportion of actually utilized foreign capital in GDP is relatively low, accounting for 18, 19, 26, 28 and 30 of the 30 weak counties in the province respectively.
From the above comparison, we can see that the county economy in our city is large in scale, with a large population, strong overall economic strength and weak per capita. For example, compared with Weifang, regardless of the total amount or per capita, the gap in our city is basically all-round; Compared with Jining, the regional GDP, local fiscal revenue, industrial added value above designated size and some per capita indicators are weak; Compared with Weihai, Linyi's GDP and local fiscal revenue are larger, but the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, the actual utilization of foreign capital and import and export are much different, and the gap between per capita indicators is more obvious. Compared with Taian and Dezhou, Linyi County has advantages in economic aggregate, but there is still a gap in per capita indicators.
(B) Analysis of the economic strength of lanshan district, Tongqiang County, Qingzhou City
At the end of 2003, lanshan district had a population of 873,800, and Qingzhou had a population of 899,200, ranking 3 1 and 29/counties in the province respectively. The GDP of each county is 793 1 100 million yuan, ranking 42nd (referring to the whole province 12 1 county, the same below), behind Qingzhou 10, and the per capita GDP is 2 152 yuan, but the GDP growth rate is 3.5 percentage points higher than Qingzhou, and the growth rate ranking is higher than Qingzhou. The industrial added value of Lanshan is 446 1 billion yuan, ranking 33rd, which is 25 1. 1 billion yuan less than that of Qingzhou, ranking 32nd, but the growth rate is 37 places higher than that of Qingzhou. The added value of industrial enterprises above designated size is 470 million yuan higher than Qingzhou, ranking 7 places higher, and the growth rate is also significantly higher than Qingzhou; The investment in fixed assets of township enterprises was 5.738 billion yuan, ranking 23rd, slightly higher than Qingzhou City, which ranked 24th. Lanshan local fiscal revenue is 36 1 100 million yuan, ranking 34th, slightly lower than Qingzhou, which ranks 33rd. The total retail sales of social consumer goods in Lanshan reached 6.55 billion yuan, ranking first in the province and 2.7 billion yuan higher than that in Qingzhou, the 20th place. Last year, Lanshan actually utilized 654.38 billion US dollars of foreign capital, ranking 23rd, higher than Qingzhou's 48 million US dollars, but Lanshan's export value was only 42 million US dollars, which was 65.438+08 behind Qingzhou's 75 million US dollars.
From the above comparison, we can see that lanshan district has its own geographical advantages and characteristics. As long as we give full play to the market-driven role, make extensive use of domestic and foreign investment, and constantly tap our own potential to accelerate development, it is promising to enter the top 30 in the province.
(3) Comparison of some indicators between Junan County and Tonganqiu City in Pingyi County.
Anqiu City in Weifang and peace county City in Junan County in our city have similarities in geographical resources and population. Anqiu is a lower-middle county in the comprehensive economic strength of the province 12 1 county, which can enhance our confidence in getting rid of weak counties.
At the end of 2003, the population of Anqiu City was 6.5438+0.05 million, slightly higher than that of 990.2 million in Junan County and 982.8 million in Pingyi County. Last year, Anqiu's GDP and per capita GDP were higher than those of Junan County and peace county, but the growth rate was not as good as that of the two counties. Anqiu's industrial added value and growth rate are not as good as those of Junan and Pingyi, but the industrial added value and growth rate above designated size are higher than those of the two counties. The investment in fixed assets in Anqiu exceeds the sum of Junan and Pingyi counties, which are 5.082 billion yuan, 654.38+97.7 million yuan and 654.38+96.6 million yuan respectively. The total retail sales of social consumer goods in Anqiu is also close to the sum of the two counties, which are 3.289 billion yuan, 654.38+47.3 million yuan and 654.38+95.5 million yuan respectively. There is a gap in the actual utilization of foreign capital between Junan and Pingyi, but the export volume of Junan County exceeds that of Anqiu City.
It can be seen that although there is a gap between Junan County and Pingyi County, many indicators are not in the bottom 30. As long as we unswervingly implement the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable Scientific Outlook on Development, persist in taking economic construction as the center, analyze their respective advantages and existing problems, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and find a way suitable for the rapid development of local economy, we can completely get rid of the ranks of weak counties.
Second, the basic idea of strengthening the county economy
To strengthen the county economy, we should fully respect the objective reality of each county, base ourselves on the advantages of resources, labor and basic industries, and accelerate industrialization and urbanization. At the same time, we should grasp the following principles:
1. The county economy should be a characteristic economy. Economic development is asymmetric and unbalanced, which is the law of economic development, and county economic development must also follow this law. The northern part of our city is mountainous and the southern part is plain, with obvious regional differences. The county should proceed from reality, choose different angles, adjust the space to make the characteristic industries bigger and stronger, constantly expand the leading industries and create competitive leading industries.
2. County economy should be private economy. Give full play to the basic role of the market in allocating resources, with enterprises as the main body, and the government should focus on promoting the rapid circulation of production factors. Cultivating the private economy into a new economic growth point is an important foundation for expanding the county economy. Private economy is a people-oriented economy that integrates "private capital, people's wisdom and people's strength", is a dynamic economy and an economy that enriches the people. Transform and enliven, liberalize development, open introduction, develop and expand a number of private economies, and make them play a leading role in the county economy.
3. The county economy should be an economy that enriches the people. Increasing farmers' income should be the main task of developing county economy. Without the well-off of farmers, there will be no overall well-off All counties and districts should continue to improve policies to reduce the burden on farmers, and, like Luo Zhuang, cancel agricultural taxes at any time according to the current economic situation.
4. County economy should be a sustainable economy. While developing the economy, we should pay full attention to the harmony and unity of economic benefits, ecological benefits and social benefits, and economic development must not be at the expense of environmental degradation and waste of resources.
Third, measures and suggestions to strengthen the county economy
1. Improve the internal environment and create development conditions. In terms of hard environment, we will focus on rural urbanization and strive to build and improve all kinds of infrastructure. Taking the county town as the center and towns as outlets, we will build towns and economic communities next to main roads and railways, and use their radiation-driven functions to connect scattered villages into a whole, speed up the construction of transportation, energy, communication, radio and television and information network technical facilities, and form a good circulation network with smooth people flow, logistics, capital flow and information flow within the county. In terms of soft environment, based on "rejuvenating the county through science and education" and "strengthening the county through talents", we should adopt preferential policies to retain high-tech talents and increase the training of basic talents, including young technicians and farmers; Optimize the county social credit environment, create a good external financial environment, establish a guarantee mechanism for small and medium-sized enterprises, and improve and strengthen financial services; Give full play to the positive role of various intermediary organizations and circulation enterprises in invigorating county circulation, strive to form a good market economic order, and enhance the attractiveness of county economic development.
2. Accelerate the process of new industrialization, improve the scale economy level of county industry, and enhance the competitiveness of county industry. The primary task of developing county economy is to accelerate industrialization. Intensify technological transformation and development, while giving full play to the comparative advantages of labor-intensive industries, transform traditional industries with high-tech and advanced applicable technologies to enhance the technical content and added value of products. Relying on the existing food, hardware, building materials, compound fertilizer, wood processing and other industrial clusters, support enterprises to become bigger and stronger, expand industries and enhance industrial competitiveness. At the same time, the development of county industry should attach importance to the constraints of resources and environment, link county industrialization with urban industrialization, and actively guide and create favorable conditions for industrial development.
3. Give proper priority to the development of urban economy and accelerate the transfer of rural labor and urbanization. With the development of rural economy, it is more and more urgent for farmers to enjoy urban civilization. At present, it is difficult for farmers to pay the settlement cost in big cities, but the living cost in cities and towns is low. Therefore, the central town in the county is expected to become the first choice for labor transfer. It is necessary to actively and steadily promote the urbanization of the county, vigorously develop the urban economy and cultivate the "growth point" of the county economy. Choose the best central towns and key towns, guide the rural population to concentrate in towns, and develop the tertiary industry in small towns. On the basis of county towns and qualified towns, we should make scientific planning and rational layout, and develop a number of small towns with industrial leadership, commercial trade, transportation hub and tourism development according to the location and characteristics of the town itself.
4. Accelerate the process of agricultural industrialization and vigorously develop non-agricultural industries in the county. At present, due to the small scale of production, poor sense of cooperation and low degree of marketization of individual farmers, promoting agricultural industrialization still faces institutional obstacles. Therefore, while promoting agricultural industrialization, we should take the market as the guide, speed up the adjustment of agricultural structure, vigorously develop the production of agricultural products with market and potential, and develop high-quality, efficient agriculture and regional characteristic agriculture on the premise of ensuring food security. Take leading enterprises as the link, and actively promote agricultural industrialization in the form of farmers+factories, farmers+companies, farmers+markets, etc. , improve the degree of organization of farmers entering the market and the comprehensive benefits of agriculture, and accelerate the process of transforming traditional agriculture into modern agriculture.
5. Establish a diversified capital investment system and do everything possible to increase agricultural investment. Agriculture is the foundation of economic development, social stability and national self-reliance, and it is also a weak industry constrained by both natural risks and market risks. Based on the principle of "giving more, taking less and letting loose", we will increase investment in agriculture with the goal of increasing agricultural efficiency, increasing farmers' income and improving agricultural competitiveness. (1) Actively attract investment and encourage private capital, industrial and commercial capital and foreign investment in agriculture. (2) Optimize the investment structure. Agricultural financial investment should focus on supporting the construction of small and medium-sized rural infrastructure, the development of key varieties and advantageous industrial belts, the improvement of agricultural products quality, agricultural industrialization, socialized services and the popularization of science and technology, and increase financial investment in compulsory education, farmers' skills training and health fields to improve the efficiency of agricultural investment. (3) Properly adjust the input policy, change the pattern of decentralized cutting, establish a direct mechanism of agricultural input, reduce intermediate links, and ensure input efficiency. (4) Establish county-level industrial development funds and introduce relevant policies to provide substantial support to leading enterprises, such as discount interest and loan utilization. (5) Accelerate the reform of rural financial system and actively explore financial innovation modes such as micro-credit and private lending.
6. Encourage the development of the non-public sector of the economy and enhance its vitality. Further activate the enthusiasm of private investment and accelerate the process of privatization of county economy. All fields at the county level should be open to the private economy, increase support for individual private economy, actively guide private enterprises to accelerate technological innovation, expand scale, improve efficiency, and continuously enhance the share and strength of the private economy. Strengthen opening to the outside world, build an open county economy in an all-round way, make full use of domestic and foreign resources, actively explore two markets, combine the utilization of foreign capital with the development of regional characteristic industries, and combine it with the transformation and upgrading of the private economy.
7. Effectively strengthen land management and farmland protection. It is inevitable for county economy to occupy cultivated land to accelerate the process of industrialization, urbanization and agricultural industrialization. Our city has a large population and little arable land, and land is the foundation of farmers and agriculture. Effectively strengthen land management and farmland protection. On the one hand, local governments expropriate land for public welfare projects; On the other hand, the income from land expropriation must be transferred to farmers.
