Han Changfu: The contracted land expires for another 30 years and the farmers have eaten "Reassuring"

Han Changfu said that this policy arrangement reflects the expectations of the majority of farmers and brings tangible benefits to farmers. Farmers can sink their hearts to engage in production, and they can safely transfer land management rights. They can also work in cities with peace of mind. The expectation of the new agricultural management entity is also more stable. It can be assured to invest, expand production, improve the conditions of farmland facilities, facilitate the formation of various forms of moderate scale operations, and promote the modernization of agriculture with Chinese characteristics.

China's rural land has been contracted for two rounds, and the second round of contracting in most regions will expire from 2023. Why is the report of the 19th National Congress proposed to be extended for another 30 years? Han Changfu said that in recent years, the agricultural population has been transferred to the city in a large amount, the area of ​​land management rights has been increasing, the investment in modern agriculture has increased, and the scale of facilities construction has been expanding. Whether it is the majority of contracted farmers or new agricultural management entities, they hope that the country will clearly define the land contracting policy as soon as possible. The next step. This policy responds promptly to the concerns of the majority of farmers and new agricultural business entities, and fully embodies the spirit of “long-term change”.

He further explained that since the reform and opening up, China's rural areas have carried out two rounds of contracting. The round began in 1978, with a contract period of fifteen years and an early 1993 expiration. In November 1993, the Central Committee issued a document stating that the second round of land contracting period was extended for 30 years. The Rural Land Contract Law enacted in 2002 and the Property Law promulgated in 2007 are clear, and the contract period for cultivated land is 30 years. The contracting period will be extended for another 30 years. In this way, the three rounds will be combined and the rural land contracting relationship will remain stable for 75 years, reflecting the continuity of policy stability.

This policy is arranged at the time node and is highly compatible with the stage arrangement of the "two fifteen years" proposed by the 19th National Congress. Han Changfu said: "The new round of contracting period expires, which is basically the time when the second century goal is realized. At that time, the 100th anniversary of the founding of New China, China will build a strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power, national economic and social structure. The urban and rural population and labor structure, urban-rural relations, and the relationship between workers and peasants will undergo tremendous changes. It will also create better conditions for further improving rural land policies and leave important time windows."

The policy is good and should be implemented. Han Changfu said that from now on, the agricultural sector will conscientiously study, conduct in-depth research, strengthen planning, do basic work, and continue to deepen the reform of the rural land system in accordance with the spirit of the central government, so as to implement this policy and implement conditions to create and do well. ready. At present, I mainly do two aspects of work.

First, do a good job in the registration and certification of rural contracted land. This is the basic work to deepen the reform of the rural land system and ensure the smooth development of a new round of contracting. As of the end of September 2017, the confirmed area of ​​the rights was 1.08 billion mu, accounting for 80% of the book area of ​​the second round of household contracted farmland. In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture will strengthen the guidance service supervision and ensure the high-quality completion of the power registration and certification tasks in 2018.

The second is to promote the "separation of the three powers". The parallelization of rural land ownership, contracting rights and management rights is another major institutional innovation in rural reform following the household contract responsibility system. At present, 13 provinces across the country have issued implementation opinions. In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture will guide the local government to continue to improve and improve the supporting system, explore various forms of realization, and truly allow farmers to secure their contracting rights, manage their rights, and fully release the reform dividend.
