Starting from the grassroots: Agricultural standardization is not a "castle in the air"

Starting from the grassroots: Agricultural standardization is not a "castle in the air"

Pingyi County, located in the hinterland of Yimeng Mountain, is a typical agricultural county with a total planting area of ​​nearly 85,000 hectares. It is known as the “Hometown of Honeysuckle” in the country. “Pingyu Honeysuckle” has obtained national geographical indication protection products, and its output accounts for 70% of the national total output. In recent years, in accordance with the requirements of standardized production, the county has successively formulated and issued local implementation standards for special varieties such as honeysuckle, garlic, pomegranate and watermelon, and built peanuts, corn, wheat, honeysuckle, melon, seedlings, garlic, potatoes, etc. Improved breeding base and experimental park.

From the practice of implementing the standardization strategy, agricultural standardization has indeed become a booster and accelerator for farmers to increase their incomes. Most farmers have also tasted the sweetness from standardization. However, in terms of the depth and breadth of agricultural standardization implementation, there are also problems of one kind or another in varying degrees.

First, the awareness of implementing agricultural standardization is not strong enough. Judging from the current practice, the strength of the awareness of implementing agricultural standardization has a great relationship with the geographical environment and the smoothness of information, and even plays a key role. Farmers with convenient transportation and information are more able to accept new things. In the remote mountainous areas where traffic inconvenient information is occluded, there is still a place where I have lived here for a lifetime. I have lived for a few lifetimes. I have always been such a kind. The land is still so much, and the tossing will not be much simpler than now. The ideological concepts, therefore, their enthusiasm for implementing agricultural standardization is not high.

Second, the implementation of agricultural standardization is not big enough. Due to the geographical advantage, farmers who are close to the town's land are more aware of the standards and have higher enthusiasm. Because they have obtained rich returns from agricultural standardization through practice, they know the importance and necessity of standardization in modern agriculture. Sex. Farmers in remote mountainous areas are scattered because of their residence. The cultivated land is mountainous and cannot be connected into pieces. It is difficult to fully implement standardized breeding.

Third, the propaganda of agricultural standardization policies and regulations is not in place. In recent years, the relevant functional departments have used various means and carriers to increase the propaganda of the importance and necessity of implementing standardization. The basic standardized knowledge and regulations have entered the village and entered the minds of the broad masses of the people, and formed the basic consciousness of implementing standardization to increase rural income. However, in rural areas where the geographical location is relatively inaccessible and the information channels are not smooth, the implementation of standardization awareness is still relatively weak. Since I didn’t see the real benefits, I just stopped at the level I heard.

Fourth, there is a lack of effective and strong organizational promotion agencies. Judging from the current situation, there is only one department that implements and promotes the standardization strategy of a county-level administrative unit, that is, the business section of the Quality Supervision Bureau (the city-level is the standardization section), and the staffing is only two to three, relying solely on their Efforts to implement standardization are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, which has caused the farmers' own awareness to determine the level of standardization implementation. The fifth is the lack of necessary technical service support. The implementation of the agricultural standardization strategy, technical service is the basic service support, and one of the main conditions for the success of the implementation. However, from the current situation, there is strong technical service support in areas with high degree of agricultural standardization. In rural areas with low levels of agricultural standardization, whether paid or unpaid, there is little or no technical service to support them, so agricultural standardization has become an unreachable castle in the air.

Agricultural standardization is a project that benefits all farmers. It faces farmers in the vast rural areas. Its foundation and foundation are in rural areas, and the focus is on implementing difficult mountainous areas. Therefore, we must start from the grassroots. The author believes that we must do the following work.

The first is to strengthen education and promote ideas. As far as the current situation is concerned, ideological concepts are one of the major problems affecting the comprehensive or large-scale implementation of agricultural standardization projects in remote rural areas. Therefore, we must start from the transformation of the peasants' ideological concepts, and make good use of rural blackboard newspapers, posters, propaganda columns, propaganda lectures, symposiums, standard knowledge collections, and set up standardized knowledge and regulations educational propaganda cards in rural main streets and traffic trunks. At the same time as traditional propaganda and education methods, we must make full use of the modern Internet media means such as the Internet and the remote platform for party members to increase publicity and education on agricultural standardization knowledge and regulations. Promote the transformation of behavior with the transformation of ideas, and enhance the enthusiasm and initiative of farmers in mountainous areas to implement agricultural standards.

The second is to strengthen institutions and promote organization. The grassroots level should strengthen the construction of agricultural standardization management functions and build an agricultural standardization system that is compatible with the current rural reality. On the basis of the needs of the actual situation and the strengthening of the staff of the standardization department of the Basic Quality Supervision Bureau, the people's government at the county level may establish the agriculture, agriculture, agricultural machinery, supply and marketing, animal husbandry and other related functions as the main body of the grassroots quality supervision bureau. The Standardization Publicity and Education Committee is responsible for the publicity and education of the agricultural standardization policy of the local department. In a working period, it is necessary to organize agricultural publicity and education activities involving the whole people according to the actual situation of agricultural standardization work in the region.

The third is to introduce measures and promote policies. In order to expand the area and area of ​​rural agricultural standardization, the grassroots quality supervision bureau should coordinate the local government and relevant functional departments, help rural farmers who implement agricultural standardization, help them to transfer land, and apply for interest-free loans to financial institutions. Farmers have encountered practical problems in implementing the process of agricultural standardization. The local government should also introduce corresponding preferential policies according to the actual work, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to participate in the implementation of agricultural standardization.

The fourth is to do a good job of leading the way and technology. In recent years, in order to strengthen technical support and support for industries within the jurisdiction, local professional cooperatives have been established to provide technical services and product marketing within the industry. The grassroots quality supervision department should strengthen the relationship with the cooperatives, and combine the functions of agriculture, animal husbandry, agricultural machinery and other functional departments according to the needs of the work, and carry out agricultural standardization training for the technical personnel of the cooperatives, and use them as a platform and carrier to pass their radiation effects. Standardized knowledge and technology are passed on to farmers, thereby improving the overall level of rural agricultural standardization.
