Promoting agricultural development and increasing farmers' income is the fundamental task of agriculture and rural work, and it is also an important foundation for maintaining the healthy development of national economy and society. In the past two years, the supply of agricultural products such as grain in the whole international market has become tight, and domestic production has been increasingly affected by natural disasters. Especially in the case of increasing grain production for four consecutive years,

On the basis of the substantial increase of farmers' income for four consecutive years, it is very arduous to continue to increase production and income. We must adhere to the principle of "giving more to farmers and letting them live", and the principle of "industry feeds back agriculture and cities support rural areas", take various measures, increase support for agriculture and rural development, pay more attention to it ideologically, be more inclined in policy, be more powerful in investment, comprehensively strengthen the construction of agricultural infrastructure and solidly promote the construction of a new socialist countryside.

The central government has issued a series of policies to support agriculture and benefit farmers, which have promoted the development of production and mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers, and should be further consolidated, improved and strengthened. It is necessary to continue to increase direct subsidies to farmers, increase direct subsidies for grain, subsidies for improved varieties, subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery and tools and comprehensive subsidies for agricultural materials, continue to implement the minimum purchase price policy for major grain varieties in major producing areas, and appropriately raise the minimum purchase price. We should increase investment in agriculture, countryside and farmers. Adhere to the annual growth rate of the total agricultural investment of governments at or above the county level higher than the growth rate of recurrent fiscal revenue, and adhere to the shift of the focus of national infrastructure construction and social development to rural areas. In 2008, the increase of financial investment in supporting agriculture was significantly higher than that of the previous year, the increase of fixed assets investment in rural areas nationwide was significantly higher than that of the previous year, and the increase of land transfer income of the government for rural construction was significantly higher than that of the previous year. The new income from farmland occupation tax is mainly used for "agriculture, countryside and farmers", focusing on strengthening farmland water conservancy, comprehensive agricultural development and rural infrastructure construction. Improve the urban maintenance and construction tax policy, and part of the urban maintenance and construction expenditure arranged by the local budget should be used for rural planning, infrastructure construction and maintenance.
