　　Cctv newsOn October 27th, the State Council held a press conference on the achievements of agricultural and rural development during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. Liu Huanxin, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced at the meeting that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, investment in agricultural infrastructure construction continued to increase, and a large number of major construction projects were implemented, which led to a significant increase in investment in fixed assets in the primary industry. From 2016 to September 2020, the investment in fixed assets in the primary industry totaled 8.64 trillion yuan. This year, in order to overcome the adverse impact of the epidemic on agricultural and rural investment, and promote all localities to speed up the issuance of local government special bonds for agriculture and rural areas, 1-mdash; A total of 120.2 billion yuan was issued in September. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the construction of agricultural infrastructure has been significantly improved, and the conditions of material technology and equipment have been accelerated. The achievements in four aspects are particularly outstanding:

　　First, large-scale construction of high-standard farmland. By the end of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, the task of building 800 million mu of high-standard farmland with high yield and stable yield will be completed, and the ability of agriculture to resist disasters and reduce disasters will be significantly enhanced, and the average grain production capacity per mu will be increased by about 100 kg. We will carry out actions to protect and improve the soil fertility of cultivated land and strengthen the protection and utilization of black land in Northeast China. In 2019, the national average level of cultivated land will reach 4.76, and the construction of efficient water-saving irrigation facilities in agriculture will be accelerated, and the effective utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation will reach 0.559.

　　Second, the country’s improved seed production support capacity has been significantly improved. Build a "national team" of seed industry bases with Hainan, Gansu and Sichuan as the core, 52 national seed production counties and 100 regional seed breeding bases as the backbone. The national agricultural germplasm resource bank to be built soon has a storage capacity of 1.5 million copies, ranking first in the world in terms of capacity and level. The "chip" of modern seed industry has made continuous innovations and breakthroughs, and the new round of upgrading of major crops has achieved remarkable results, with the area of self-selected varieties exceeding 95%.

　　Third, agricultural mechanization has developed in an all-round way. The level of material equipment was accelerated, and the total power of agricultural machinery reached 1.028 billion kilowatts. 453 demonstration counties with full mechanization of major crop production have been built, and the mechanization transformation of farmland in hilly and mountainous areas has been accelerated. The mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvest has exceeded 70%, and the mechanization rates of animal husbandry and aquaculture have reached 34% and 30% respectively.

　　Fourth, the upgrading of animal husbandry and aquaculture facilities has been accelerated. The construction of facilities and equipment such as livestock and poultry pens, automatic feeding, and disease prevention and control was accelerated. The scale rate of livestock and poultry breeding reached 64.5%, and the matching rate of facilities and equipment for manure treatment in large-scale farms reached 93%. Vigorously implement the dairy industry revitalization plan, support the transformation of dairy farm facilities, and build a number of high-quality forage bases, with the proportion of dairy farming reaching 64%. Promote the transformation and upgrading of fisheries, and create more than 5,400 national demonstration farms for healthy aquaculture.
