China currently operates 62 national
modern agricultural industrial parks
On July 19, the Ministry of Agriculture and
Rural Affairs in China has announced that China has approved 62 national modern
agricultural industrial parks in order to improve the rural industry. 20
agricultural industrial parks in the first round are recognized. According to
the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the central
government in China gives RMB 5 billion in funding to support the construction
of national modern agricultural industrial parks.
Apart from a total of 62 national modern
agricultural industrial parks, more than one thousand modern agricultural
industrial parks and a number of agricultural industrial parks in cities and
counties were also built in China. Currently, these 62 national modern
agricultural industrial parks produce products for 95 leading industries,
attracting nearly 100 national key enterprises and about 500 provincial key
enterprises to join and corporate with them. 142 thousand workers are employed
in these national modern agricultural industrial parks, and the income of the
farmers in these industrial parks reach RMB 22,000, which is 34% higher than
the income level of the farmers in rural areas.
According to Changfu Han, the minister of
MOA, problems of modern agricultural industrial parks still exist. For example,
leading industries in most modern agricultural industrial parks are not
outstanding; the industrial parks oriented toward grain, cotton, oil as well as
sugar are not common; the understanding of industry convergence is limited. As
a result, in the future, these industrial parks should be planed and developed
scientifically, in order to improve the system of agricultural industrial parks
in China.
