CCTV News: On February 24, the State Information Office held a press conference on further deepening rural reform and solidly promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Zhu Weidong, deputy director of the Central Finance and Economics Office and deputy director of the Central Rural Affairs Office, said at the meeting that he would increase policy support. In terms of price, we will implement the minimum purchase price policy for rice and wheat, and launch rice market-supported purchases in Henan, Jiangsu, Heilongjiang and Anhui provinces, increase the storage and storage of wheat and corn, promote soybean sales and processing and transformation, stabilize market prices, and prevent difficulties in selling grain. In terms of subsidies, we will continue to stabilize the subsidy policies for land protection in arable land, improve the subsidy policies for corn and soybean producers and rice subsidy policies, and encourage local governments to carry out pilot projects on interest subsidies for special loans for grain and oil planting. Through these policies, farmers will be given solid support. In terms of insurance, we will reduce the proportion of county-level premium subsidy under agricultural insurance in major grain-producing counties, promote the expansion of the insurance coverage area for full cost insurance for rice, wheat, corn, and soybeans, and accelerate the expansion from preventing natural risks to preventing market risks. At the same time, in order to mobilize local governments' enthusiasm for grain-raising, this year, we will expand the scope of the implementation of the action to improve public service capacity in major grain-producing counties, launch and implement the inter-provincial horizontal interest compensation mechanism for grain production and sales areas under the central government's coordination, and use more "real money" to increase support for major grain-producing areas and major grain-producing counties through the method of "benefiting" provinces and "contributing" provinces to obtain compensation.
