China Daily:
Nowadays, rural business startups have grown very fast and many rural people have returned from cities to their hometowns to start businesses. New industries and new types of business have flourished in rural areas. Does the 2017 "No. 1 central document" contain any specific policy to provide support for this? Thanks!
Tang Renjian:
It is a main direction and method for farmers to increase their incomes. We have paid great attention to this. Mr. Han Jun will introduce the situation in detail.
Han Jun:
As you said, many migrant workers, entrepreneurs, and even some college graduates have returned to rural areas to start businesses in recent years. Represented by leisure agriculture, rural tourism and rural e-commerce, these new industries and new types of business operations have grown rapidly. The 2017 "No. 1 central document" proposes that the new industries and new types of business in rural areas should be strengthened, and the industry and value chains in agriculture should be expanded. It also proposes that the government should encourage more migrant workers to return to rural areas to start their own businesses with the aim of facilitating the development of modern agriculture, new industries and new types of business. It also encourages talents to return to rural areas to make business innovations with the aim of bringing a modern scientific production mode and business mode to rural areas.
When it comes to returning rural areas to start business, and the development of new industries and new types of business, we should remember the huge influence brought about by the flourishing rural township enterprises on the development of the rural economy and society from the late 1970s to 1990s. Currently, we really need to cultivate a good environment to support those who return to rural areas to start business and make innovations, as well as boost the development of new industries and new types of business, just like once did in supporting the development of rural township enterprises.
The policies proposed in the 2017 "No. 1 central document" to support migrant workers to return to rural areas to start business and the development of new industries and new types of business are very good, especially those on land use, financial services and personnel training. For example, in the land use of new industries and new types of business in rural areas, it proposes that a guarantee mechanism for new construction land should be improved so that the specific proportion of new construction land can be used to support the development of new industries and new types of business in rural areas. For example, it proposes that the construction land saved from village renovation and the arrangement of land reserved for rural homesteads should be mainly used to develop rural leisure industries, tourism, pension industry, as well as their integration. It is also clearly stated that the saved construction land must not be used for real estate or private clubs. As for encouraging more talents to return rural areas to start business and make innovations, it proposes that preferential policies should be integrated and implemented in the aspects of market entry, tax, financial service, land use and power use. It encourages the establishment of pioneer parks, incubation bases, service platforms for innovators for those returning to start businesses. It also encourages the establishment of an open service window to provide one-stop service. Thanks.
