Food is an important commodity related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. Grain circulation is an important industry that affects the national economy and the people's livelihood. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the grain department must thoroughly implement the scientific concept of development, closely focus on the subject of scientific development and accelerate the transformation of the main mode of economic development, and fully implement the “12th Five-Year Development Plan Outline for Food Industry”. Promote sound and rapid development of food circulation, and make positive contributions to China's stable and rapid economic and social development.

Grasping the Opportunities and Challenges Faced by Food Circulation During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities where it can accomplish much, and grain circulation is faced with rare opportunities for development. First, the national policy of strengthening agriculture, benefiting peasants, and agro-promoting farmers has been continuously strengthened. The responsibility system for the governor of grain has been further strengthened. The enthusiasm of peasants for growing grain and local grain has been further enhanced. The comprehensive grain production capacity has been significantly improved, and the long-term mechanism for the stable development of grain has been gradually improved. It laid a solid foundation for the development of food circulation. Second, the structure of food consumption has been accelerated. Consumer demand has shifted from feeding in the past to eating well. It has paid more attention to the safety, quality, nutrition, and health of food, grain, and food, and has provided a broad space for the development of food circulation. Third, the country has accelerated the adjustment of its economic structure and the transformation of its economic development mode, which is conducive to the adjustment and optimization of the grain circulation industrial structure, and has provided important opportunities for the development of grain circulation. Fourth, scientific and technological progress has been accelerating the technological upgrading of grain warehousing, logistics, and processing, and the rapid development of domestic transportation networks has reduced circulation costs and increased circulation efficiency, providing strong support for the development of food circulation. Fifth, the reform of the grain circulation system continued to deepen, the macro-control mechanism of grain became more complete, the modern grain market system was initially formed, and the construction of the grain legal system, supervision and inspection system, and inspection and monitoring system continued to advance, providing a powerful guarantee for the development of grain circulation.

At the same time, it should be noted that the development of grain circulation during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period is facing new situations and new challenges. The first is that the international grain market is more complex and changeable, which will have a certain impact on the domestic food market. At present, the international issues of food and financial issues, energy issues and climate change are intertwined and have become major problems affecting the development of human society. The financial attributes and energy attributes of food have increased, and the impact of international energy markets, capital markets, and money markets on food prices has continued to increase. At the same time, the international and domestic markets have become more closely linked, and the impact of supply and demand and price changes in the international market on the domestic market has increased. Second, it is more difficult to maintain the stability of the domestic food market and prices. During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, China's grain supply and demand will still show a tight balance in total volume, and the contradiction between the structure of varieties and regional imbalances will remain. In terms of total volume, China's grain production is strongly constrained by factors such as arable land, fresh water resources, and climate, while food consumption is increasingly affected by the rigid population growth and changes in food structure after economic development. From the perspective of species structure, there was a slight surplus in supply and demand for wheat and rice, and tight supply and demand for corn. Soybeans and oils and fats have a greater degree of foreign dependence. From a regional point of view, the proportion of grain in the main grain-producing areas in northern China has increased year by year, and the gap in grain production and sales in the main sales areas has increased, and the number of “northern grain and southern transport” has increased. Third, domestic grain companies need to further expand, strengthen and do their best. The role of state-owned grain companies in the main channel needs to be further strengthened. At present, most of the domestic grain companies are small in scale, and their market competitiveness is not as strong as foreign grain companies. From the perspective of grain industry security, there is an urgent need to become bigger and stronger domestic grain companies, especially state-owned grain companies. Fourth, the supervision of the food market needs to be further strengthened. The main body of the market is more diversified, and the difficulty of supervision is relatively increased. At the same time, the public’s requirements for food quality and safety have been further improved, and the food circulation supervision and inspection system and quality and safety system need to be further improved. Fifth, the infrastructure for food circulation needs to be improved. On the whole, the grain and oil storage and logistics system must further improve and optimize the layout. Sixth, there are still many unacceptable aspects of grain circulation in terms of business philosophy, development methods, and scientific development. It is more urgent to speed up the transformation of the development mode of grain circulation.

The idea of ​​clarifying the development of grain circulation During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, grain circulation was closely focused on the subject's main line. The basic idea was to insist on the service concept of cultivating farmers and benefiting food lovers, and effectively safeguarding national food security.

To ensure the national food security as the primary goal, to grasp the overall situation of food circulation. Focusing on improving the overall grain production capacity, we will continue to consolidate and improve the policy measures for strong peasants, farmers, and rich peasants, and implement the national plan for increasing grain production capacity by 100 billion jin. We will build a food security system that provides "stability of supply, strong control, adequate reserves, and efficient operation" to improve the anti-risk capabilities and market competitiveness of the food industry. At the same time, we must pay attention to the role of circulation in guiding and promoting production.

To protect grain crop enthusiasm as a starting point and a point of departure, we will strengthen food support and protection policies. We will fully implement the central government's policy measures for strengthening farming, benefiting agriculture, and enriching agriculture, and continue to increase the minimum purchase price of grain, in particular, implement the grain minimum purchase price policy and the temporary purchase and storage policy to protect the enthusiasm of grain farmers. We will improve the direct subsidy mechanism for grain farmers, continue to increase support for investment in major grain-producing areas, and explore the establishment of a benefit compensation mechanism for major grain-producing areas. We will vigorously promote the industrialization of grain and encourage the development of a variety of new food industrial cooperation organizations so that farmers can share the benefits of grain processing and distribution.

Focusing on grain and oil security and stable prices, we will strengthen grain macro-control capabilities. Under the conditions of market allocation of basic resources for food resources, we will continue to strengthen and improve macro-control of food, further innovate means and methods of control, raise the level of regulation and control, enhance the predictability, pertinence, and effectiveness of regulation, and build government control and market mechanisms. Combined circulation mode. We will improve the long-term mechanism for cooperation in grain production and marketing, and establish a multi-form, deep-level, long-term stable food production and marketing cooperative relationship. Improve the food reserve adjustment system and improve the layout of reserves and variety structure. Strengthen the early warning system for food markets and the construction of an emergency support system to improve the food emergency support capabilities.

We will proceed with the promotion of legal administration and a sound supervision and inspection system to strengthen institutional development. Strengthen the rule of law in grain circulation, comprehensively promote administration in accordance with the law and grain management in accordance with law, and continuously improve the capacity and level of administration of the grain system according to law. We will deepen the reform of the grain circulation system and advance the functional transformation of grain administrative departments. We will establish and improve an administrative law enforcement system for food circulation supervision and inspection, and normalize and institutionalize food circulation inspections.

We will take the opportunity of turning ways and adjusting the structure to promote the development of the modern grain circulation industry. Accelerate the adjustment of food industry structure and layout optimization, promote industrial upgrading, enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, and promote the specialization, modernization, and intensive development of grain circulation. The development of a modern grain and oil processing system will provide consumers with green, healthy and high-quality grain and oil products, and will continue to meet the new consumer demand for food. Accelerate the construction of grain circulation infrastructure and fully implement the "grain modern logistics development plan." Actively promote the construction of a unified, open and competitive modern grain market system. Strengthen the scientific and technological innovation capacity of grain, increase the scientific and technological level of the food industry, and increase the comprehensive utilization of resources.

In order to promote the scientific development of grain circulation during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, to promote the scientific development of grain circulation around the main theme line, we should focus on deepening the reform and conversion mechanism and focus on the following aspects.

Establish and improve six major systems. The first is to build an efficient food purchasing service system. We will continue to improve the implementation plan for the minimum purchase price and improve the start-up, subsidy, and supervision mechanisms for the temporary purchase and storage policies. Continue to play the role of state-owned grain companies in the acquisition of main channels, encourage qualified multi-market players to engage in grain purchases, actively nurture and develop food brokers, and improve acquisition networks that facilitate farmers' sales of grain. Strengthen the awareness of agricultural services, innovative acquisition methods to ensure the implementation of national grain procurement policies in place. We will improve the food market price information service mechanism, promote the adjustment of planting structure, and increase the income of farmers. Strengthen the supervision of the grain purchase market, strictly acquire the market access system, and maintain the order of the grain purchase market. The second is to improve the food control system that maintains a stable food market and prices. Continue to improve the food macro-control system, make good use of "two markets and two resources," and mobilize both the central and local enthusiasm. The work priorities include: promoting cooperation in grain production and marketing, organizing policy-oriented food transfer, optimizing the layout of inventory areas and species structure; establishing and improving the mechanism for central reserve grain storage, rotation and effective import and export integration, and enriching the scale of local grain and oil reserves; The unified bidding trading platform will scientifically arrange policy food sales; improve the emergency work system and enrich the finished product grain and oil emergency reserve. The third is to strengthen the food logistics system. Strengthen the construction of storage facilities and maintenance and transformation, and effectively expand storage capacity. Strengthen the construction of drying facilities and improve the drying capacity. Accelerate the construction of the “Northern Grains and South China Transport” main logistics corridors and the western region's logistics channels, and realize the “four scattered” transportation of inter-provincial grain major logistics channels. The fourth is to speed up the construction of a food market system. Promote the formation of a modern food market system based on the grain purchase market and the grain retail market, the wholesale market as the backbone, the steady development of futures trading, a unified, open and competitive order, and better play the basic role of the market in allocating grain resources. The fifth is to promote the rapid development of modern grain and oil processing systems and comprehensively increase the capacity for food science and technology innovation. We will adjust the structure of the grain and oil processing industry, vigorously develop the grain, oil, and food processing industries and actively develop the feed processing industry. We will promote energy-saving emission reduction and comprehensive utilization of by-products, and increase the market competitiveness of the grain and oil processing industry. We will strengthen independent innovation in grain science and technology and continue to carry out research and development of common key technologies in the industry. Focus on the application of food logistics information collection, traceability technology and public logistics information platform, and gradually realize intelligent monitoring of grain inventory information. Actively develop the green grain storage technology system and continuously improve the design and manufacturing level of grain processing equipment. Sixth, establish and improve food standards and inspection systems.

Actively promote the construction of the "two major projects." We will continue to implement special projects for storing grain by farmers, and allocate 8 million rural households with standardized scientific grain storage equipment so that the total number of scientific households in the country's rural households will reach 10 million. The loss rate of farmer households in the project area will be reduced to less than 2%. Intensive efforts will be made to secure grain and oil in the rural areas and community activities, and to further expand coverage, so that this people-oriented project can be handled well.

Strengthen the legal system of grain circulation. We will continue to strengthen the research, demonstration, and coordination of the food law and strive to set it up as early as possible. Completed the revision of the Regulations on the Administration of Grain Circulation and the Regulations on the Administration of Central Grain Reserves. Improve the food circulation supervision and inspection work mechanism, increase supervision and inspection work, and maintain the grain market order. Strengthen food circulation supervision and inspection and quality and safety work. Strengthen the supervision of food quality and safety, and improve the inspection and testing level of food quality and safety.

Make bigger and stronger state-owned grain enterprises. We will continue to deepen the reform of the state-owned grain purchasing and selling enterprises, strengthen the guidance for the management of state-owned grain companies, and support enterprises with good conditions to become bigger, stronger, and better. Accelerate the cultivation of large-scale grain enterprises with international competitiveness, make it a powerful carrier for the state to regulate and control the grain market, increase market influence, and enhance the ability to guarantee stable prices.
