——提高水资源利用效率。规划建设一批节水供水重大水利工程，开发种类齐全、系列配套、性能可靠的节水灌溉技术和产品，大力普及管灌、喷灌、微灌等节水灌溉技术，加大水肥一体化等农艺节水推广力度。加快灌区续建配套与现代化高效节水改造，推进小型农田水利设施达标提质，实现农业生产水资源科学高效利用。

– Improving the efficiency of water resource utilization. The Chinese government has planned and built a number of major water conservancy projects for water saving and water supply. We have developed a full range of water-saving irrigation technologies and products that are reliable and complementary to each other. We have vigorously popularized water-saving irrigation technologies such as pipe irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and micro-irrigation, and promoted the integration of water and fertilizer and other agronomy water-saving technologies. We will further speed up the installation of support facilities and modern and efficient water-saving reconstruction in irrigation districts, standardize and improve the quality of small-scale irrigation facilities, and realize the scientific and efficient utilization of water resources in agricultural production.

　　（二）保护和调动粮食种植积极性

　　——保障种粮农民收益。粮食生产不仅是解决粮食需求问题，更是解决农民就业问题的重要途径和手段。中国农业人口规模巨大，通过城镇化减少农业人口将是一个渐进的过程，在这个过程中必须保障农民的就业和收入。为全面促进农村经济社会的发展，国家相继取消牧业税、生猪屠宰税和农林特产税，特别是在2006年全面取消了在中国存在2600年的农业税，从根本上减轻了农民负担。逐步调整完善粮食价格形成机制和农业支持保护政策，通过实施耕地地力保护补贴和农机具购置补贴等措施，提高农民抵御自然风险和市场风险的能力，保障种粮基本收益，保护农民种粮积极性，确保农业可持续发展。

2. Cultivating and arousing the enthusiasm of grain planting

– Guaranteeing farming incomes. Grain production makes an essential contribution to feeding the people; it also provides employment to farmers. China has a huge agricultural population, and it will be a gradual process to reduce the agricultural population through urbanization, during the course of which the employment and income of farmers must be guaranteed. In order to develop the rural economy and society in an all-round way, China has abolished the animal husbandry tax, pig slaughtering tax, tax on agricultural and forestry specialties and other taxes, especially the agricultural tax, which had existed in China for 2,600 years and was abolished in 2006. All these efforts have fundamentally reduced the burden on farmers.

We will gradually adjust and improve the grain price formation mechanism and agricultural support and protection policies, and improve farmers’ ability to resist natural and market risks through the implementation of land fertility protection subsidies for cultivated land and subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery and equipment. We will guarantee the basic income of farmers, cultivate their enthusiasm for growing grain, and ensure the sustainable development of agriculture.

　　——完善生产经营方式。巩固农村基本经营制度，坚持以家庭承包经营为基础、统分结合的双层经营体制，调动亿万农民粮食生产积极性。着力培育新型农业经营主体和社会化服务组织，促进适度规模经营，把小农户引入现代农业发展轨道，逐步形成以家庭经营为基础、合作与联合为纽带、社会化服务为支撑的立体式复合型农业经营体系。目前，全国家庭农场近60万家，农民合作社达到217.3万家，社会化服务组织达到37万个，有效解决了“谁来种地”“怎样种地”等问题，大幅提高了农业生产效率。

– Improving the mode of production and operation. China has consolidated the basic management system in rural areas, adhered to a two-tier management system based on household contract management and combined with unification and division, and aroused the enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of farmers in grain production. We have invested a great effort in cultivating new-type agricultural business entities and socialized service organizations, promoted moderate-scale operations, and guided small-scale farmers onto the track of modern agriculture, gradually forming a three-dimensional compound agricultural management system based on family management, with cooperation as the link, and social services as the support. At present there are nearly 600,000 family farms, 2.17 million farmers’ cooperatives, and 370,000 social service organizations in China. The problems of “who farms the land” and “how to farm the land” have been effectively 

solved, and the efficiency of agricultural production has significantly improved.

　　（三）创新完善粮食市场体系

　　——积极构建多元市场主体格局。深化国有粮食企业改革，鼓励发展混合所有制经济，促进国有粮食企业跨区域整合，打造骨干粮食企业集团。推动粮食产业转型升级，培育大型跨国粮食集团，支持中小粮食企业发展，促进形成公平竞争的市场环境。积极引导多元主体入市，市场化收购比重不断提高，粮食收购主体多元化格局逐步形成。

3. Innovating and improving the food market system

– Building a pattern of multiple market players. China is furthering reform of state-owned grain enterprises, encouraging the development of a mixed ownership economy, promoting cross-regional integration of state-owned grain enterprises, and creating backbone grain enterprise groups. We will transform and upgrade the grain industry, cultivate large transnational grain groups, support the development of small and medium-sized grain enterprises, and foster a market environment for fair competition. We have actively guided multiple players into the market, and the proportion of market-based procurement has been increasing. A network of diversified grain purchasers has gradually taken shape.
