The three departments issued a document to support the development of agricultural productive service industry and expand agricultural machinery services.

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] On August 23, the Ministry of Agriculture learned that a few days ago, the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Agricultural Productive Service Industry", proposing vigorous development of diversification. Multi-level agricultural production services will drive more farmers to enter the modern agricultural development track and comprehensively promote modern agricultural construction. Through five years of development, we will basically form an agricultural productive service industry with reasonable service structure, high professional level, strong service capability, standardized service behavior and covering the entire industrial chain. This is a special document in China that supports the development of agricultural productive services.

The opinions put forward the active expansion of agricultural machinery operation and maintenance services, and promoted the expansion of agricultural machinery service from grain, cotton, oil and sugar crops to specialty crops and aquaculture production. The service links ranged from farming to specialized plant protection, straw treatment, and drying of production areas. The whole process of production is extended to form a new situation of suitable agricultural machinery services with appropriate total amount, reasonable layout, convenient economy and professionalism. Encourage service entities to use the national “Agricultural Machinery Express Train” information platform to improve the efficiency of cross-regional operation services, and accelerate the promotion and application of large and medium-sized agricultural machinery Internet of Things technologies based on Beidou system's operation monitoring, remote dispatching, and maintenance diagnosis. Encourage the development of agricultural machinery financing leasing business. To build a regional agricultural machinery safety emergency rescue center and maintenance center, focusing on the “three guarantees” service network of agricultural machinery cooperative maintenance and agricultural machinery enterprises, and promote the transformation and upgrading of professional maintenance outlets. In the appropriate areas, support the main agricultural machinery service and the rural collective economic organizations to build facilities such as centralized breeding, centralized drying, and storage of agricultural machinery. In the main producing areas of grain, cotton and oilseeds, relying on the main body of agricultural machinery to explore and construct a number of “full-scale mechanization + comprehensive farming” service centers to provide “one-stop” field service for farmers.

The opinion also suggested that it is necessary to develop agricultural product marketing services. Encourage agricultural product wholesale markets to actively provide pre-selection and grading of agricultural products, processing and distribution, packaging and warehousing, information services, standardized transactions, electronic settlement, inspection and testing services. Improve agricultural product logistics services, promote agricultural super-docking, farmer and social docking, use agricultural exhibitions to carry out various forms of production and marketing convergence, and broaden agricultural product circulation channels. Actively develop e-commerce of agricultural products, encourage online trading and sales docking and other trading methods, and promote the organic integration of agricultural products circulation online and offline. Encourage qualified service organizations to carry out inspection and inspection of agricultural product quality and safety, promote mutual recognition of agricultural product quality and safety testing results, and provide accurate and fast testing services for producers and consumers. Promote the traceability services provided by the quality and safety supervision institutions of grassroots agricultural products, and guide the production and operation entities to carry out business such as subject registration, information collection, product assignment, code scanning transactions, and certification of edible agricultural products.

The opinion also stressed that it is necessary to implement the preferential policies related to agricultural productive services, and vigorously support the development of various service organizations through measures such as financial support, credit support, and tax reductions and exemptions. Further increase the investment in infrastructure construction such as high-standard farmland, encourage local areas to strengthen the construction of supporting facilities such as centralized breeding, grain drying, agricultural machinery operations, pre-cooling storage, and expand investment in the construction of agricultural Internet of Things, big data and other information facilities. . Encourage all localities to support the service organizations to undertake agricultural productive services through government procurement of services, awards and subsidies, and post-service subsidies. Give full play to the role of the national agricultural credit guarantee system, and focus on solving the problems of financing and financing of social services such as agricultural materials, agricultural machinery, and agricultural technology. Actively promote plant, production greenhouses, fishing boats, large-scale agricultural machinery, farmland water conservancy facilities, mortgage loans and production orders, agricultural policy financing. Encourage local governments to promote farmhouses, agricultural machinery, facility agriculture, fisheries, seed production insurance, etc. Where conditions permit, premium subsidies may be granted. Support the construction of forage storage facilities in disaster-prone areas and improve the utilization efficiency of forage materials. We will implement the agricultural machinery service tax and fee preferential policies and the relevant agricultural land use policies, and speed up the resolution of the problem of “difficult land use” in the agricultural machinery sheds, maintenance rooms and drying rooms of agricultural machinery cooperatives. All localities should proceed from the actual situation in the locality, formulate and support supporting policies, strengthen supervision and inspection, promote policy implementation, and truly play a policy guiding and supporting role.
