Major Decisions on Key Issues of Promoting Rural Reform and Development
The 3rd Plenary Session of CCCP, 12 Oct 2008
• Rural reforms and institution changes:– Agri operation institutions: agri land (30 yrs
long term); farmers’ cooperatives; etc;
– Rural land institutions: land titling; rental market; but more restrict in land use change; etc;
– Rural financing/credit: …
– Integrated urban and rural development: factor markets; public goods provision; …
– Rural governance and democracy management institutions; and
– Establish resource-saving and environmental friendly agricultural production system.

Challenges in China’s Agricultural Technologies
Agricultural research:- Public dominated R&D system- Less response to farmers’ demand- Still lack of funding and too much depend on
competitive grants- Lack of top scientists and innovated team
Agricultural extension:– Unjustified tasks;– Inappropriate institutional setting– Lack of incentives– Inadequate human capacity– Lack of funding

Concluding remarks: Agricultural performance
• Agriculture has been growing at about 5% annually since 1980s;
• The growth has been associated with:- Significant changes in agricultural structure: move to more
competitive sectors;
- Rapid growth of off-farm employment.
![Page 52: Agricultural Development Poverty Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/55588af6d8b42a5d328b52e5/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Concluding remarks: institutional reforms
• Institutional changes have played important roles in China’s agriculture.
• However, there will be great challenges ahead in terms of small farming, lack of cooperatives, and agricultural modernization.
• More innovated policies on land and farmers’ cooperatives are critical for China’s agriculture in the future.

Concluding remarks: technology
• Technologies have been major source of agricultural productivity growth in the past 30 years.
• Technologies will continue to be engine of its productivity growth in the future.
• However, China’s public agricultural research and extension system needs substantial reforms to meet farmers’ demand for technologies.
• Policy response: increase funding; reform R&D and extension system.

Concluding remarks: Market reforms
• China’s market has been increasingly integrating into the global market.
• China’s domestic markets have been also increasingly integrated.
• While import of land-intensive products will rise, export of labor-intensive products will also rise.
• However, there are also great challenges in small farming in ensuring the increasing demand for quality and safety foods in the future.
