China's Agricultural Industry
Chinese government is actively putting more funds to strongly develop the following aspects:
◎ Farm and cropland construction with high standard
◎ Farm irrigation construction
◎ Agricultural circulation basic establishment
◎ Bio-environment construction
◎ Mechanization of farming
◎ The allowance for purchasing premium seeds, agricultural instruments and machineries and other agricultural materials
China has about 0.9 billion farmers, so it is very important for Chinese government keeping the stable economic development, and there will be wide business opportunities in the sector of Chinese agricultural industry. The latest system of land innovation that promulgated by Chinese government will permit those farmers to sell the privileges of land managements, which will help to establish much more modern farms of intensive cultivation and mechanization. In this case, China will need more agricultural instruments and machineries relating with cultivation, irrigation, maintain and so on.
The Agriculture of Tianjin
Tianjin is backed by the regions of North China, Northwest China, and Northeast China. It is not only an important channel for foreign exchanges among more than ten provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in northern China, but also the largest port city in northern China. Tianjin is also the main node of the China Mongolia Russia Economic Corridor, the strategic fulcrum of the Maritime Silk Road, the intersection of the "the Belt and the Road", and the nearest eastern starting point of the Eurasian Continental Bridge. It is an important hub connecting domestic and foreign countries, the north and south, and the east and west. It is also an important sea port for neighboring landlocked countries.
Tianjin has a huge market and consumption capacity for agricultural products. In 2022, the total permanent population of the city was 13.866 million, with 11.7444 million people living in urban areas, accounting for 84.70%; The population living in rural areas is 2.1216 million, accounting for 15.30%, with an urbanization rate of 84.7%; Tianjin achieved a regional gross domestic product of 1631.13 billion RMB yuan, of which the added value of the primary industry (i.e. the final result of agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery production activities carried out by all resident units of a country or region in a certain period of time calculated at market prices) was 27.32 billion RMB yuan, accounting for about 1.67%, the added value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery was 28.34 billion RMB yuan, accounting for about 1.74%, and the per
capita disposable income of the city's residents was 49000 RMB yuan, nearly 50000 RMB yuan, ranking fifth in China. Tianjin is also the "vegetable basket" of Beijing, especially Hexiwu Town, which is 60 kilometers south of Tianjin city and 60 kilometers north of Beijing city. Every year, a large amount of agricultural products are directly supplied to Beijing.
Tianjin's modern urban agriculture continues to be optimized. By 2022, the planting area of Xiaozhan rice will increase from 300000 mu to over 1 million mu, and a total of 3.724 million mu of high standard farmland will be built, accounting for about 80% of permanent basic farmland and ranking among the top in the country; Newly built agricultural facilities covering 207300 acres, with a contribution rate of 68% to agricultural technological progress. The rice machine tillage, machine insertion, and machine yield in Tianjin have all reached 100%. Currently, there are nearly 200 agricultural machinery professional cooperatives active in Tianjin. Mechanized sowing, field management, and harvesting have become the main methods of agricultural production in Tianjin. The total number of agricultural machinery and equipment in the city remained at 335800 units, and the total power of agricultural machinery reached 3.7248 million kilowatts.
The planting area of grain has stabilized at over 2.5 million mu, and the output has remained above 2 million tons for six consecutive years, ranking among the top in the main sales areas in the country. The self-sufficiency rate of grain has increased to 36%, especially the self-sufficiency rate of staple food has increased to 65%; The self-sufficiency rate of "vegetable basket" products such as vegetables, meat, poultry and eggs, milk, and aquatic products ranks among the top in major
cities across the country. New breakthroughs have been made in the integrated development of rural industries, with 17 million people receiving leisure agriculture and rural tourism, over 10000 family farms, and 11300 cooperatives. At present, a total of 187 "Jinnong Boutique" agricultural brands have been recognized, among which four regional public brands, Xiaozhan Rice, Shawo Radish, Chadian Rose Fragrant Grape, and Baodi Huangban Loach, are well-known and have been included in the China Agricultural Brand Catalog. In 2022, the planting area of Xiaozhan rice will reach 1.019 million mu, and Xiaozhan rice and Baodi District will be listed as key counties in the national agricultural industry chain and typical counties in the rice industry chain. The brand influence and popularity will continue to increase.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, since 2010, the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery in Tianjin, as well as the segmented agricultural output value, forestry output value, animal husbandry output value, and fishery output value, have shown a fluctuating upward trend.
Among them, the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery has fluctuated from 28.941 billion RMB yuan in 2010 to 52.143 billion RMB yuan in 2022, an increase of 23.202 billion RMB yuan or 80.17% in the past 12 years, with an average annual compound growth rate of 5.03%; Combined with the recent rural revitalization and policies related to the adjustment of agricultural production structure in Tianjin, as well as the solid promotion of stable production and supply activities such as "rice bags" and "vegetable baskets", the total agricultural output value in Tianjin may further increase.
