Main Contents Of Xinjiang Cotton Target Price Reform Trial In 2015

In accordance with the requirements of the Central Document No. 1 in 2015, we carried out a comprehensive assessment of the pilot project of cotton target price reform in 2014, and revised it on the basis of assessment.

Uygur Autonomous Region

The implementation plan of target price reform pilot work (hereinafter referred to as "implementation plan") has further improved the way of subsidy.

The implementation plan is approved by the State Council, and the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of finance have been implemented.

In order to make policy propaganda and interpretation work well and ensure the smooth progress of the target price reform pilot work, the outline of publicity is specially formulated.

First, why should we carry out the pilot reform of cotton target price?

Since reform and opening up, China has persisted in promoting the market-oriented reform of agricultural products, and has gradually liberalized the prices of most agricultural products.

Since 2004, China has established a policy of temporary collection and storage, agricultural subsidy and entry.

Cotton price regulation system is the main content of regulation.

The operation of the system is effective in general, but it also accumulates some contradictions and problems.

On the one hand, China's cotton planting costs continue to rise, and domestic cotton prices are running high under the support of temporary purchasing and storage policy.

On the other hand, international cotton prices have dropped sharply.

The price of domestic cotton is much higher than that of the international market, and the price difference is getting bigger and bigger. The current cotton price regulation and control methods are facing new challenges.

The cotton price will exceed the quotas and the tariff quota protection will lose its effect.

Market participants are unwilling to enter the market, and the pressure of purchasing and storing in the country has increased dramatically. The relationship between the upstream and downstream prices has been distorted and the market vitality has weakened, which is not conducive to the sustained and healthy development of the whole industrial chain.

Fundamentally speaking, we must give full play to the basic role of the market mechanism in the price formation of agricultural products, so as to better mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers and all kinds of market players and further promote the healthy and sustainable development of the whole industrial chain.

To carry out the pilot reform of cotton target price and explore the reform to promote the decoupling of the price formation mechanism of agricultural products from the government subsidies, the goal 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 price formation to the market, so as to promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream industries.

First, the government does not interfere with market prices, and the acquisition of enterprises at market prices will help restore the vitality of domestic industries and improve the market competitiveness of domestic agricultural products.

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

Three, we should give full play to the role of market regulation in production structure, and help producers with high efficiency and competitiveness to stand out, improve the organization and scale of agricultural production, encourage agricultural technological progress, and control the excessive rise in production costs.

Two. What are the main contents of the pilot reform of cotton target price?

The target price policy is an agricultural support policy based on the market price of agricultural products, which releases price signals to guide market expectations and protects producers' interests through differential subsidies.

The main contents of cotton target price reform are: first, cancel the 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 carry out target price subsidies for cotton in our region.

The target price of cotton is announced before planting. 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 amount is linked to planting area, seed sale quantity and planting variety.

Three, the difference between target price subsidy and other current agricultural subsidies.

There are two main differences. First, the existing agricultural subsidies are mostly distributed in accordance with the area, and are not linked to any kind of crops planted or planted. They belong to the GSP subsidy, and the target price subsidies should be linked to the actual planting area or production and sales volume of crops, and a variety of subsidies should be made.

The two is that the existing subsidies are relatively fixed, generally only increase or decrease, and every year, the subsidy will be linked to the market price. Only when the market price is lower than the target price will the subsidy be given; the lower the more, the more the subsidy will be.

Four. What are the main principles for formulating cotton target price policy?

1. the market determines prices.

Cotton prices are mainly caused by market supply and demand, and the government does not interfere with market prices.

2. guarantee the basic income.

When market prices fell too much, the government ensured the cotton producers' basic income through subsidies, and stabilized the cotton production in the pilot areas.

3. overall consideration.

Coordinate and balance the interests of upstream and downstream, make overall use of domestic and foreign resources, properly handle the relationship between the government and the market, the current and long-term, the central and local governments, and ensure the smooth progress of the reform.

4. smooth pition.

We should do a good job in supporting policies and measures in production, circulation, reserve, processing, import and export, and maintain a smooth pition of policies.

Five, what is the goal of developing cotton target price policy?

1., explore experiences for the state to improve the price formation mechanism of agricultural products.

2., maintain the cotton planting area and total output of Xinjiang basically stable, ensure the safety of national cotton and promote the development of Xinjiang cotton industry.

3., we should further explore the base of cotton production in Xinjiang, improve the level of intensive land use, strictly control the over exploitation of water resources and protect the ecological environment by taking advantage of the favorable time to carry out the pilot reform of cotton target price.

4., seize the opportunity of cotton target price reform, further highlight the advantages of Xinjiang's cotton producing areas, accelerate the development of Xinjiang textile and garment industry, attract more textile and garment enterprises to settle in Xinjiang, and create more job opportunities.

5., we should improve the financial subsidy mechanism, improve the accuracy and pertinence of subsidies, and improve the efficiency of the use of financial funds.

Six, how to determine the target price?

In the pilot stage, we adopt the method of production cost plus basic income to determine the target price level.

The reason for adopting this method is based on the current agricultural production practice, and is determined by taking all factors into consideration, protecting farmers' interests and playing a more market role.

First, we can better protect the interests of farmers.

The method of production cost plus basic income can better adapt to the fact that the production cost of agricultural products in China is rising rigidly at this stage.

No matter how the market price and production cost change, we can guarantee farmers to grow without losing money or profits.

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

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 should give proper protection to the production of a few important agricultural products, but it can not bear all market risks by the state.

Therefore, the target price only guarantees farmers to get basic income instead of high yield. When the market price falls, farmers also have to take part in the risk of falling profits, so as to bring into full play the role of market mechanism and guide farmers to rationally adjust their planting structure, and enhance their competitiveness and risk tolerance.

Seven, when will the target price be released? Is the price of the whole area the same?

The target price of cotton in the pilot stage is determined once a year, which is announced before planting cotton, giving clear signals to farmers and markets, guiding farmers to grow rationally and arranging agricultural production.

Our district implements a unified target price of cotton (lint).

The target price of cotton in 2014 was 19800 yuan / ton, and 19100 yuan / ton in 2015.

Eight, compared with 2014, what are the main aspects of the implementation plan in 2015?

The implementation plan of the new year has further improved the subsidy method and expanded the scope and proportion of the payment subsidy for seed cotton sale.

Simplifying the work process, reducing the payment times of subsidized funds; making use of information means to make statistics on the sales volume in the sales link, so as to facilitate the cotton farmers to sell cotton and reduce the workload at the grass-roots level; strengthen the monitoring of the subsidy for preventing the "outer cotton" from entering Xinjiang, and further improve the layout of the specialized warehouses and public inspection laboratories, and improve the efficiency of public inspection and circulation.

Nine. What are the subsidies?

In the pilot stage, the target price subsidy target is the actual cotton growers in the whole region.

These include: basic farmers (including village collective motor land contracting households) and local state-owned farms, judicial farms, army farms, non-agricultural companies, large households and other forms of ownership of cotton producers.

Ten, how to allocate the subsidy price of cotton target price?

Cotton target price subsidy allocation is divided into two steps. First, after the end of the price period, if the market price of our district is lower than the cotton target price announced in the current period, the state will calculate the total amount of subsidy funds and allocate the autonomous region according to the difference between the target price and the market price and the cotton output of autonomous region investigated by the National Bureau of statistics.

Two, according to the time allocated by the central government to allocate subsidy funds, the autonomous region's finance will be used to pay 10% of the total annual subsidy to four basic Prefecture households in the southern Xinjiang (Akesu, Kashi, Ke Zhou and Hotan). Some of the subsidies will be paid to the basic farmers (including the village collective motor land contractors), and 90% will be used to pay part of the subsidies for the actual growers in the region, and be allocated to local governments at a level by stage, and the subsidy funds will be paid to the basic farmers and agricultural production and operation units in the form of "one card" or other forms.

Eleven, how should the subsidy fund be distributed to the growers?

The financial departments of the township (town) departments and the finance departments of counties (cities and districts) shall compare the information of the information platform sale with the purchase invoices and identity cards of the basic cotton farmers and agricultural production and operation units, and according to the management measures of the subsidy funds for the pilot project of cotton target price reform in the autonomous region, and pay the area subsidy funds and production subsidy funds in batches to the basic farmers and the agricultural production and operation units in the form of "one card" or other forms.

Twelve, what are the differences between this year's subsidies and last year?

Aiming at the problem of heavy workload and high administrative cost, which was widely practised in the whole area in 2014, heavy workload and high administrative cost existed in our region. After repeated studies in our district, in 2015, most of the districts in the whole region implemented the subsidy method based on sales volume. According to the essence of the document No. 2014, No. 5, the subsidy for part of the area was only for four basic farmers in southern Xinjiang.

This year's revised "implementation plan" will adjust the subsidy scheme of "60% of the central subsidy fund by area subsidy and 40% by sales volume subsidy" in the original plan, and adjust it to "10% of the total annual subsidy to be used to subsidize the basic agricultural households (including collective land) payment area in four prefectures (Akesu, Kashi, Ke Zhou and Hotan) in the southern Xinjiang, and 90% to subsidize partial subsidies for the actual growers in the region".

Thirteen, which processes have been optimized this year?

First, we should optimize the subsidy way, reduce the payment times of the subsidy funds, and we will realize a pre allocation of the subsidy funds and make a liquidation at the same time.

Two is the current paper version of the planting certificate electronic comprehensive, cotton planting information will be fully entered into the information platform, to achieve a single entry, direct sale.

The three is to make use of information technology to make statistics on the sale volume in the selling link, which can minimize the collection and check of the purchase documents at the two level of the county and township level, and the workload of the sales volume.

The four is to guide private capital to participate in professional warehousing and improve the efficiency of public inspection.

Fourteen, do we have to declare and verify the planting area according to the subsidy of sales volume?

The statistical verification of cotton planting area is an important reference data for determining the legality of planting and checking the level of yield per unit area, and is also the main basis for the grant of improved varieties.

Therefore, the declaration and verification of cotton planting area should continue.

The planting area of cotton should be announced by growers.

In the early June, the basic farmers (including village collective motor land contracting households) declared cotton planting area to the villagers' committee. The village level was verified by public inspection, township (town) review, county (city), prefecture (prefecture) two level self check, autonomous region and prefecture (state) joint spot check, verified and identified.

The agricultural production and operation units declare the cotton planting area to the agriculture, finance, statistics and land departments of the county where they are located, and at the same time issue the land use map, the actual planting of the plot and other materials.

The county (city) people's government has organized agriculture, statistics, land and judicial departments to verify comprehensively, and the autonomous region and prefecture (state) jointly conduct spot checks and verification.

After the cotton planting area was approved by the people's Government of the autonomous region, the county (city) people's government organized agriculture, land, statistics, investigation teams and other departments to complete the cotton planting information input of all cotton growers in the area under the two levels of township and village.

Fifteen, what matters should we pay attention to when we sell seed cotton?

1. before the sale, we should inquire whether the planting information is entered into the information platform and confirm the household information corresponding to the planting area.

2. sale

When carrying the corresponding acreage of the head of the household corresponding to the planting area, the sale information of the seed cotton sold with other people's ID cards will not be counted to the owner's name.

3. seed cotton must be sold to a cotton ginning factory that has been approved by the target price subsidy of cotton, otherwise the sale volume can not be entered into the information system for statistics.

4. invoice is an important voucher for payment of subsidies. When selling cotton, it is necessary to get ordinary invoices or purchase invoices from ginning plants or collecting points.

Sixteen, how do we know whether the ginning factory has passed the qualification confirmation?

The autonomous development and Reform Commission has issued a uniform numbered plaque for qualified cotton processing enterprises, and requires cotton processing enterprises to hang in the prominent locations such as the factory gate.

It is possible to inquire whether the relevant ginning plants are qualified through the website of the development and Reform Commission in the autonomous region.

After selling cotton, you can inquire about the sale information. If there is no relevant selling information after a day, you should ask the cotton ginning factory.

If it is confirmed that the seed cotton has been sold to a cotton processing enterprise that is not qualified, it should be reflected to the local development and Reform Commission and the fiber inspection department.

Seventeen, what is the penalty mechanism for the qualification accreditation of cotton processing enterprises?

If a qualified cotton processing enterprise appears one of the following circumstances, the cotton processing qualification and relevant qualifications shall be cancelled by the verification and verification of the autonomous development and Reform Commission, the finance and Quality Supervision Bureau, the Bureau of industry and Commerce and the State Administration of taxation.

1. the act of false invoices stipulated by the tax law shall be paid less taxes and malicious subsidies.

2. malicious modification of cotton quality, weight, barcode and other information, to obtain subsidized funds;

3. in the acquisition of seed cotton, we should mark down the price of the seed cotton and label the relevant test data, and the circumstances are serious.

4. the processed lint is not delivered to the designated cotton professional supervision warehouse (except for self owned cotton) according to the stipulated time.

5. deliberately purchasing subsidized funds by purchasing seed cotton outside Xinjiang, and buying lint and imported cotton from and outside the region.

6. directly participate in and manipulate the "turn around cotton" to obtain subsidized funds or hostile takeover of the cotton.

7. during the acquisition of cotton, it failed to suspend the target price of cotton with uniform number in the obvious location of the factory gate and so on.

8. forgery, alteration, fraudulent use, lending, and hanging the target price of cotton by itself, and reforming the plaques of qualification units of processing enterprises;

9. use unauthorized expansion of additional production lines (i.e. "one certificate and multiple lines") for cotton processing.

10. cotton processing enterprises do not conscientiously fulfill their management obligations on their seed cotton collection points, resulting in the seed cotton collection point not in conformity with the relevant provisions.

Eighteen, what is the meaning of the Treasury inspection and the implementation of the public inspection?

Public Library inspection refers to specialties.

In accordance with the national standards and technical specifications, the inspection institutions shall carry out the inspection of the weight of the warehouse in the professional warehousing supervision, extract the quality inspection samples by package, and conduct the activities of instrumental inspection of the quality inspection samples.

It is of great significance to ensure the smooth implementation of the cotton target price reform pilot scheme.

First, the authenticity of lint processing is ensured in the public inspection of the warehouse. The authenticity of seed cotton purchase can be increased through the comparison of the amount of lint processing and seed cotton purchase.

It helps to find out in a timely manner the purchase amount of seed cotton and the behavior of subsidized funds, which is conducive to safeguarding the interests of cotton farmers.

The two is the pformation from the enterprise to the public inspection, ensuring the authenticity of the inspection samples, improving the credibility of notarization and further standardizing the market order, and forcing cotton processing enterprises to improve the quality of acquisition and processing of cotton.

Nineteen. What is the notarization of cotton quality?

The notarization test of cotton quality refers to the activities of professional fiber inspection institutions to check the quality and quantity of cotton and issue notarial inspection certificates according to the national standards and technical specifications.

The contents of the certificate include: product name, inspection unit, batch number, package number, inspection basis, inspection result, inspection unit, inspector and so on.

The cotton quality inspection system has played an important role in promoting cotton production and operation enterprises to improve the quality of cotton, to combat adulteration, and to protect the interests of buyers and sellers.

Twenty, what is professional warehouse supervision? What is the meaning of implementing professional warehousing supervision?

Professional warehousing supervision refers to the activities of cotton processing enterprises when the annual cotton lint is stored in the cotton professional supervision warehouse accredited by the autonomous region according to the stipulated time.

The implementation of professional warehousing supervision is mainly manifested in the following aspects: first, it is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of the sales volume information; two, to ensure that the cotton bags will not be counterfeited or exchanged after the notarization inspection; three, it is convenient for banks to supervise the cotton as collateral for loans; four, the warehouse can be selected according to the buyer's needs, and the five is conducive to the development of online pactions and the reduction of logistics costs.

Twenty-one, what are the conditions for professional supervision of warehouses?

Cotton professional supervision warehouse must have the following conditions:

1., an independent legal person qualification and can bear civil liability independently.

2. has the ability to assume independent economic responsibility, assess assets not less than RMB 20 million yuan, asset liability ratio is not higher than 80%, and provide no financial guarantee for any other unit or individual.

3. the geographical location is superior, the pportation is convenient, the storehouse capacity reaches 50 thousand tons or more, has the good storage and pportation condition, has the day loading and unloading 4000 tons or more cotton loading and unloading capacity (in the same area, has the railway special line priority).

4. safety, sound business organization, perfect rules and regulations and qualified management personnel. The warehouse is equipped with equipment and facilities that meet the requirements of fire control and lightning protection in cotton warehousing and storage.

5. having the equipment, facilities and personnel needed to supervise the implementation of the warehousing weight inspection and the package sampling of quality inspection samples (hereinafter referred to as "sampling") by the professional fiber inspection institution; and have the working face, loading and unloading equipment, electronic weighing apparatus, moisture regain detection device, impurity analysis machine, etc., which meet the inspection requirements of the warehousing weight, sampling work, and so on.

6. equipped with a charter machine and loading and unloading equipment that is suitable for monitoring cotton handling.

7. equipped with computer, bar code reader and corresponding operators, has the ability to use the national cotton inventory management software and implement the information management of storage data.

8. there is a need to supervise the warehousing of cotton in the surrounding areas.

Twenty-two. How can we get the latest policy information on the reform of cotton target price reform?

The latest news of the cotton target price reform pilot project will be released in the autonomous region development and Reform Commission, the finance department, the agriculture department, the new rural network and the local government websites.

At the same time, we will get the latest policy information in the mainstream media through media publicity.

Twenty-three, how to report and report if there are false reports, false invoices and false processing information?

If a false area is reported, it can be reported to the local agricultural department. It is found that false invoices can be reported to the local tax authorities. It is found that false processing information can be reported to the local development reform and quality supervision departments. It is found that the defrauding of financial subsidy funds can be reported to the local financial department.

It can also be reported through the telephone reports and e-mail boxes reported everywhere.

Twenty-four, is there any preferential policy to encourage special cotton planting?

Special cotton (including long staple cotton and colored cotton) still maintained the preferential policy in 2014. The target price subsidy standard of special cotton (yield part) was 1.3 times the target price subsidy standard (yield part) of upland cotton.

The planting area and yield of special cotton were separately counted and reported separately.
