Jiangxi: Cotton Farmers Will Benefit From The Announcement Of Subsidy Rules

Recently, Jiangxi The provincial government promulgated the implementation plan of the central financial subsidy for cotton target price reform in 2014. This is another mainland province that has introduced a specific subsidy scheme after Anhui province. The mainland subsidy scheme facing dystocia has another landing. The plan specifies the targets, standards and how to issue the subsidies. Accordingly, the reporter interprets the key problems of the cotton farmers.

Subsidized object

The plan defines cotton target price reform, and the central financial subsidy target is Jiangxi province. cotton The actual growers (the transfer of land management rights, whether or not the signing of the transfer agreement, the subsidy funds should be distributed to the actual cotton growers), in short, who is subsidized cotton species.

Subsidy standard and basis

The plan clearly defined the unified subsidy standard of the whole province according to the total Cotton Subsidy target of Jiangxi Province in 2014, the total amount of central government subsidy funds and the cotton planting area provided by the Provincial Department of agriculture. Cotton planting area is based on the verification area of cotton seed production subsidy in 2014. The formula is: the average subsidy per mu is equal to the central subsidy total capital / the cotton production fine seed subsidy area in the province.

　 Amount of subsidy

This is a problem that cotton farmers are most concerned about. It is also directly related to whether some cotton growers will continue to plant cotton this year. The detailed rules for reading have not found the total amount of subsidies allocated by the central government, and of course, it is impossible to calculate the amount of subsidy. However, according to the reporter's understanding, as early as November 4, 2014, the ministerial joint meeting on the cotton target price reform held by the departments concerned made it clear that the target price subsidy standard for cotton in the 9 provinces of the mainland in the year 2014 was 2000 yuan / ton (lint). The subsidy standard for the following year is based on 60% of the Xinjiang subsidy, the ceiling is not more than 2000 yuan / ton, and the central government's subsidy to the main cotton producing province is based on the cotton output determined by the National Bureau of statistics. Accordingly, according to the statistics of the National Bureau of statistics in 2014, the output of cotton in Jiangxi province is 119 thousand tons, and the sown area of cotton is 1 million 233 thousand mu. The total subsidy for Cotton Subsidy in the central allocation of Jiangxi province can be roughly estimated to be 119 thousand tons *2000 yuan / ton equivalent to 238 million yuan. The cotton subsidy standard of Jiangxi province has stipulated that the cotton planting area is based on the verification area of cotton seed production subsidy in 2014 (based on the statistical area of Statistical Bureau). It can be estimated that the average allowance of cotton per mu in Jiangxi province in 2014 is 238 million /123.3 mu, which is about 193.5 yuan / mu. This is China's cotton net reporter according to the price subsidy rules and combined with the relevant data to calculate the average amount of subsidy, the final amount should be based on the actual amount of cotton farmers.

　 Distribution method

According to the cotton planting area of counties (cities, districts) (hereinafter referred to as "county") provided by the Provincial Department of agriculture and the unified subsidy standard of the whole province, the counties are determined. Subsidy fund The provincial finance department allocated the subsidy funds to the relevant counties. The county level financial departments, together with the agricultural departments, will uniformly distribute the subsidy funds index to township (town), township and township agricultural stations and financial institutions according to the planting area and subsidy standards, collect and examine the subsidy data issued by the cotton growers. After the publicity has no objection, they will be submitted to the county level agricultural departments and the financial departments for examination and approval.

　　 Payment time

After receiving the subsidy funds issued by the provincial finance department, the County Finance Bureau actively worked with the relevant departments of agriculture, such as data collection and auditing, subsidy publicity, fund allocation, etc., and ensured that the subsidy funds should be distributed to the cotton growers within the 30 working days.

In short, the implementation of the target price subsidy scheme in the mainland involves millions of cotton farmers' interests, involving many links, and policymakers must consider and consider them all the time. It is necessary to guard against the covert operation of the black box operation, the "turn around cotton" incident, protect the interests of the actual cotton growers, and ensure that the central financial subsidy funds are earmarked for special purposes. The planned dystocia is reasonable, but it is still hoped that other provinces in the mainland can overcome difficulties and introduce cotton target price subsidy rules as soon as possible, so as to give cotton farmers a reassurance.
