advancement, constantly enriching the varieties of
bonds, expanding channels, actively leading in market

been steadily enhanced. Through constantly expanding
efforts to enhance the strength, benefit and wealth of the
agricultural sector, making solid progress in agricultural
modernization and construction of new rural villages,
deepening rural reforms in all aspects and channeling
social capital back to support “Agriculture, Rural Areas
and Farmers”, comprehensive services to support
food safety, poverty alleviation, rural revitalization,
