The Cotton Price Market Determines The Government's Appropriate Quota Subsidy.

In 2014, the central government decided to cancel the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy.

The target price policy starts the pilot project of cotton target price reform in Xinjiang, and at the same time implements the central financial quota subsidy for the main cotton producing areas in the mainland.

Why should we promote this policy? What is the main content of the policy?

What are the effects?

A few days ago, the general office of the provincial government issued the implementation measures of Hubei province's cotton target price subsidy in 2014, and made a policy interpretation on the topic of social concern.

1. Main contents of cotton target price reform pilot project

First, cancel the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy.

The government does not interfere with market prices, prices are determined by the market, and producers sell cotton at market prices.

The two is to target price subsidies for cotton in Xinjiang.

When the market price is lower than the target price, the state subsidize the producers in the pilot area according to the difference between the target price and the market price, and does not grant subsidies when the market price is higher than the target price.

The three is to improve the subsidy way, and the target price subsidy is linked to planting area, production or sales volume.

First, it is conducive to protecting the interests of farmers and increasing farmers' income.

The target price of cotton is production cost plus basic income.

The implementation of cotton target price subsidy policy can better adapt to the fact that the cost of cotton production in China is rising at the present stage. No matter how the market price and production cost change, it can better protect the interests of farmers.

Two, it is beneficial to play the role of market mechanism.

We should carry out the pilot reform of the target price and explore the reform of promoting the decoupling between the price formation mechanism of agricultural products and the government subsidies. The purpose is to give full play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources under the premise of protecting the interests of farmers, and to decide the prices of agricultural products by the market so as to promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream industries.

First of all, the government does not interfere with market prices, and cotton processing enterprises purchase at market prices, which is conducive to restoring the vitality of domestic industries and improving the market competitiveness of domestic cotton.

Secondly, the government's subsidy to producers will be changed from "covert" in price to "explicit subsidy" for direct payment, so that producers can get government subsidies in a clear way, which will help to reduce intermediate links and improve subsidy efficiency.

Finally, giving full play to the role of market regulation in production structure is conducive to the emergence of efficient and competitive producers, improving the organization and scale of cotton production, encouraging agricultural technological progress and reducing production costs.

The pilot of target price subsidy will also bring challenges to some enterprises.

During the temporary purchase and storage, the cotton purchased and processed by the ginning mill can be sold directly to the state, and the drought and waterlogging will not be charged.

However, under the new circumstances, these enterprises need to directly face the market, search for downstream users themselves and bear the risk of market price fluctuation, which is also a normal situation in the market economy.

Market activities are naturally risky.

Farmers are the main body of the market economy. They must also take the risk of market fluctuation while gaining profits through the market.

In most industries, market risks are all borne by the market players. Taking into account the particularity of agricultural production, the state gives proper protection to cotton production, but it can not bear all market risks by the state.

Therefore, the target price of cotton is only to ensure that farmers get basic income instead of all proceeds. When the market price falls, farmers also have to bear the risk of falling part of the profits, so as to really play the role of market mechanism, guide farmers to rationally adjust their planting structure, and improve the competitiveness of agricultural production and the ability to resist risks.

The three is to improve the competitiveness of textile enterprises.

Our textile industry is a traditional pillar industry and an important livelihood industry.

The temporary purchase and storage policy of cotton has led to the widening of the domestic and foreign cotton price gap, which has weakened the competitiveness of textile enterprises and restricted the development of textile enterprises.

The implementation of cotton target price reform results in the convergence of market prices, narrowing the price gap between domestic and foreign markets, reducing the cost of textile enterprises, enhancing their competitiveness, promoting exports and promoting the healthy development of textile enterprises.

First, most of the existing agricultural subsidies are distributed according to the tax area, and are not linked to any kind of crops planted or planted. They are GSP subsidies, and the target price subsidies should be linked to the actual planting area or production and sales volume of the crops.

Two, the existing subsidies are relatively fixed, only increasing, annual subsidies; target price subsidies should be linked to market prices, not issued annually, and the amount is not fixed, only when the market price is lower than the target price, subsidies will be given.

In October 30, 2014, the Ministry of Finance and the national development and Reform Commission issued the notice on the cotton price target reform, the central financial subsidy for other cotton main production areas, etc. [Document No. 114 of financial construction Letter No. 2014], which clearly defines the main contents of the quota subsidy for cotton target price in the main cotton producing areas in the mainland.

The first is the scope of subsidies.

The central financial subsidy for the main cotton producing areas in the mainland ranges from 9 main cotton producing provinces, namely, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei and Gansu.

The two is the subsidy standard.

In 2014, the subsidy standard was tentatively set at 2000 yuan per ton of cotton (lint).

After the expiry of the pilot period, the subsidy standard is 60% of the Xinjiang subsidy standard, with a maximum of 2000 yuan per ton.

Five, the scope and target of Cotton Subsidy in Heilongjiang Province

In the whole province, subsidized cotton farmers (including state-owned farms, farm reclamation enterprises and cotton producers of the state farms, farms and Fisheries).

The cotton subsidy is persisted in the peasant household as the unit, and based on the two round of the land area of the peasant households, the actual planting area of the farmers is approved.

Those who belong to collective farming shall be reported to the local government departments for record in accordance with the authority of Cotton Subsidy management, and the subsidy funds shall be owned collectively by the farms.

In accordance with the relevant provisions of the flood prevention law, cotton crops should not be planted in principle, such as shoals, banks, reservoirs, rivers and watercourses.

Whether the cotton plant has been reclaimed or not has been included in the Cotton Subsidy scope. The people's Government of the county (city, district) shall decide on the basis of the relevant regulations of the state and the province.

Six. Allocation of cotton subsidy funds

The allocation of subsidy funds to counties (cities, districts) (hereinafter referred to as counties) is directly allocated to counties based on cotton production in 2014.

According to the actual planting area of the whole county in 2014, the county determined the standard of flat subsidy for the whole county and divided the funds into households.

Seven. Verification of Cotton Subsidy area

The first is area declaration.

With the cotton production season limited in 2014, the village group takes the family of farmers as a unit and reports the "household registration form of Cotton Subsidy area".

The two is area verification.

The Township People's government is the main body responsible for the statistics and verification of the Cotton Subsidy area. It is responsible for organizing agricultural departments to register and verify the planting area of households, and fill in the "Cotton Subsidy area household registration form".

The village group summarized and filled in the "Cotton Subsidy area household household summary table" (the design was made by the local people), and signed and sealed it to the township (town) agricultural department.

The three is area publicity.

Publicity is the responsibility of the Township People's government.

The farmers' cotton planting area publicity form is stamped with the official seal of the Township People's government, and the public finance officer of the township finance office shall publicize it in the village and the group. The time is not less than 7 days.

The public notice shall not be handed over to the village cadres for publicity.

During the publicity period, if there is any objection, the adjustment must be re verified.

The four is strict auditing.

The Township People's government organized agriculture departments to examine the basic information of farmers' names, two rounds of land covering area, cotton planting area, account opening and identity card numbers.

After the audit is correct, fill in the "Cotton Subsidy area farmer household summary table", by the Township People's Government affixed with the official seal, report to the county agricultural department, the agricultural department is responsible for the County Cotton Subsidy area audit and summary.

According to a calculation basis and a subsidy standard, the whole county will

The fund is calculated, decomposed and implemented to every peasant household.

First, according to the basic data of each village group and every peasant household after verification, the township government will decompose the subsidy funds into the cotton farmers according to the unified subsidy standard of the whole county.

The two is the publicity of subsidy funds.

The issuance of subsidy funds is the responsibility of the Township People's government.

Before issuing the subsidy funds, the farmers' subsidy list (including the subsidy area, subsidy fund and so on) of each village group is generated. After the official seal of the township government is added, the financial controller will be publicized for 7 days in the village and the group. The public notice must not be handed over to the village cadres for publicity.

No objection to publicity, Township Finance issued to each peasant household "subsidy notice".

The contents of the subsidy notice mainly include the name of the farmer, the village group, the subsidy area, the subsidy standard, the subsidy fund and so on, and the specific format is designed by the counties themselves.

Three, the cotton subsidy fund is issued by the county financial agency through "one book (discount)".

Each farmer must hold only one passbook and set up his sole account.

For the same peasant household, the land of different groups (including relatives and other people's cultivated land) should be merged into one household, and no one family should be allowed to fold. The name of the false household owner and the name of the false village group are strictly prohibited.

The peasant household "one book (discount)" must be handed over to the farmers directly by the staff of the township government.
