The road to the development of characteristic agriculture in China

I. The current situation of agriculture in contemporary China and the necessity of developing characteristic agriculture

In recent years, the problem of “increasing production and reducing income” has become one of the main dilemmas faced by agriculture. The pressure brought by the contradiction between agricultural industrial structure and market demand structure, the competitive pressure of foreign agricultural products after WTO accession and the serious development caused by long-term over-exploitation of agriculture The ecological environment problem is the four major pressures facing China's agriculture. The characteristic agriculture is a new topic of agricultural economy that should be born under pressure. It is an effective way and means for China's agricultural self-decompression.

Second, China's two major agricultural problems

The fact that farmers have not increased their incomes in successive years is one of the problems that China's agriculture needs to solve urgently. One of the ways to solve the problem of increasing farmers' income is to develop agriculture-related industries according to the characteristics of the region, that is, to do a good job in the secondary and tertiary industries, and to increase the added value of agricultural products through large-scale agriculture. The second approach is to explore growth points within agriculture. That is, the local "features" are the leading agricultural products and pillar agricultural products that the local government should focus on to achieve local income increase.

The transfer of rural surplus labor, or the issue of farmers' re-employment, is the second most urgent problem for China. Some economists have put forward the idea that farmers are not leaving their homes and “not leaving their homes”. It is recommended that all agricultural regions absorb or interact with rural labor on the spot to alleviate the pressure of the current influx of farmers into cities. The development of characteristic agriculture and the realization of specialized agricultural production are important ways to complete the re-employment of Chinese farmers.
