CCTV News: On January 20, the State Information Office held a series of press conferences on "The achievements of China's high-quality economic development" to introduce the relevant situation of "consolidating the basic foundation of the 'three rural areas' and solidly promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas".

At the meeting, some media mentioned that at the Central Economic Work Conference not long ago, it is necessary to do everything possible to expand channels for farmers to increase their income. How will we further expand channels for farmers to increase their income and improve their income levels in the future? In this regard, Chen Bangxun, Director of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that increasing farmers' income is the central task of the "three rural" work. In 2024, the agricultural and rural departments will implement the deployment requirements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and take multiple measures to broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and become rich. We regularly carry out production and sales matching, brand promotion and consumption promotion activities to promote the smooth sales of agricultural products; actively develop new industries and new business formats, promote rural leisure and tourism boutique routes and boutique attractions, and promote farmers' local employment; work with relevant departments to strengthen service guarantees for migrant workers, expand the scale of labor-for-relief, and stabilize the scale of employment; improve the policy system for strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers and enriching farmers, and increase support for farmers to increase their income. Recently, the National Bureau of Statistics released the latest data, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents across the country achieved steady growth last year. In the next step, the agricultural and rural departments will continue to broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and become rich.

First, work hard to improve the comprehensive benefits of agriculture. Family operating income is still an important source of farmers' income. Our department will actively develop green and characteristic agricultural products cultivation, and strive to extend and strengthen chain measures such as agricultural product processing, agricultural enterprise cultivation, and agricultural brand building, implement agricultural industry integration development projects, and promote agricultural efficiency and drive farmers' income growth.

The second is to work hard to develop new rural industries and new business formats. It is necessary to do a good job in "local specialties", vigorously develop new industries and new business formats such as leisure agriculture, rural e-commerce, and cultural experience, improve the mechanism for connecting farmers and leading farmers, and leave more industrial value-added income in rural areas and farmers.

The third is to work hard to improve the quality of farmers' employment and entrepreneurship. Increase rural entrepreneurship training and support, and promote employment and income growth through entrepreneurship. In response to the current mismatch between the quality structure and professional skills of migrant workers, we will work with relevant departments to promote and make good use of effective models such as orders, targeted and fixed-job training, and try every means to stabilize the employment positions and income of farmers' migrant workers.

Fourth, work hard to increase property income. Actively explore effective ways for farmers to revitalize and utilize idle housing through rental, equity investment, cooperation and other methods. Promote the standardization of rural property rights transfer and transactions, so that farmers can share more reform dividends.
