Countryside are sending out invitations to the world with good farmland, and Shanghai is launching "agricultural investment promotion" projects | agriculture | good farmland
Launching 104 plots of land with an area of over 30 acres for investment, with a total area of nearly 20000 acres; Among them, there are 7 plots of land with an area of over 500 acres, with a total area of 7000 acres. On June 21st, Chongming's agricultural development made a new move by offering a considerable amount of good farmland to global high-quality agricultural management entities.
Just one day ago, Jiading District also held an agricultural and rural investment promotion conference, launching 12 rural industry projects and others to be unveiled; Recently, Fengxian District, Baoshan District, Pudong New Area, and others have all held investment activities in the field of agriculture and rural areas.
Do we also need to attract investment when engaging in agricultural production? In the traditional impression of many people, agriculture is "planting land and selling grain". In fact, guided by the development concept of "green mountains and clear waters are mountains of gold and silver", the importance of production factors such as land is constantly highlighted, and a good ecological environment and natural landscape have become scarce resource elements. Carrying out "agricultural investment promotion" with an industrialized approach is a new path for the integrated development of urban and rural areas in modern metropolises. Behind "agricultural investment promotion" lies the password for high-quality rural development.

Promote efficient allocation of rural factor resources
The rural areas, which account for about 85% of the total land area in Shanghai, have enormous development potential and unlimited business opportunities. On the one hand, looking at the whole city, the total assets of collective economic organizations such as towns and villages exceed 680 billion yuan, ranking among the top in the country; On the other hand, compared to the considerable total amount of economic, ecological, cultural and other resources, high-quality rural projects in the suburbs of Shanghai are still scarce, and many resources have not been efficiently utilized. Carrying out "agricultural investment promotion" is an important means to promote the efficient allocation of rural factor resources.

For example, Pudong New Area previously held an agricultural investment promotion conference, signing 27 projects and releasing 22 rural industry investment projects. The leaders of Pudong New Area stated that this move "aims to actively introduce modern rural industrial projects, guide the introduction of resources such as funds, talents, and technology to rural areas, and fully activate the vitality of rural development in Pudong.". Yuepu Town in Baoshan District has also launched a commercial plot of over 60000 square meters at once, hoping to introduce industries such as rural tourism, cultural and creative industries, homestays, and health services, and explore new forms of agricultural, commercial, cultural and tourism linkage.
In addition, there have been similar situations in the past rural development process: some townships have completed land transfer and want to find high-quality agricultural management entities to take over, but it is difficult to find entities that meet the requirements; The "new type of farmers" who have culture, understand technology, and know how to operate want to show their skills in the suburbs, but they either find scattered small plots of land, or they don't know how to find land and can't find it at all. Carrying out "agricultural investment promotion" can help solve the information asymmetry phenomenon of "land cannot find people, people cannot find land".
Where does the land come from when conducting "agricultural investment promotion"? In recent years, Shanghai has taken the lead in promoting the reduction of inefficient construction land outside the boundaries of planned urban development in accordance with the actual situation of tight resource and environmental constraints. It has demolished and reclaimed construction land that does not comply with the plan and has poor social, economic, and ecological benefits. In addition, in recent years, the transfer of agricultural land and the relative concentration of farmers have been steadily advancing, and land resources have been economically and intensively utilized, making "agricultural investment promotion" possible.

The reporter learned that in recent agricultural investment promotion activities, some are "land and other projects", such as the nearly 20000 acres of land to be invested in in Chongming District; There are also "project candidates", such as the 12 investment projects launched by Jiading District, including the renovation and renewal of the old factory area in Gelong Village, Waigang Town, which plans to develop diversified industries, as well as the high-quality facility vegetable field projects launched by Chencun Village in Malu Town and Taiping Village in Jiangqiao Town. "We will continue to optimize the functional layout, coordinate and plan the landing space of agricultural investment projects, and hope that entrepreneurs can come to rural areas in Jiading to take a walk and take a look," said Shen Biao, Director of the Jiading District Agriculture and Rural Committee.
Provide multiple guarantees for the development of rural industries

In the northwest corner of Chongming Island, within the 12000 acre reclamation area of Xincun Township, a world-class agricultural project is located here: the 3 million egg laying chicken farm of Zhengda Group integrates egg laying chicken breeding, egg grading processing, organic fertilizer processing of chicken manure, and sewage treatment, achieving sustainable development through the integration of planting and breeding, and integrated operation of manure and fertilizer. Its modernization and automation level are at the forefront of the world.
The 3 million feather egg chicken breeding project of Zhengda Group is one of the typical high-quality projects for agricultural investment and introduction in the suburbs of Shanghai. In January 2018, Chongming held its first agricultural investment promotion conference, offering 50000 acres of high-quality land for external investment. The two levels of government in Chongming District actively coordinated and followed up with more than 100 interested parties, including the 3 million feather egg chicken farm of Zhengda Group, and many projects were finally signed. Afterwards, Chongming held several agricultural investment fairs, and the district leaders also led teams to world-renowned enterprises such as Armada Group in the Netherlands and Danziger Group in Israel to carry out agricultural investment, attracting "world-class players" for the "world-class ecological island".
The suburbs of Shanghai are eager for high-quality agricultural projects and talents. For example, Qingpu District has recently introduced a special policy for agricultural investment attraction, providing key support for agricultural product processing industry, smart agriculture, etc; Songjiang District has established a leading group for agricultural investment promotion, focusing on enhancing agricultural competitiveness. In Chongming, after high-quality agricultural entities settle down, eligible applicants can apply for key agricultural projects including urban modern agriculture projects, science and technology promoting agriculture projects, and various support policies cover various stages of agricultural product production, research and development, processing, and sales.

In the "Implementation Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting Rural Revitalization and Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization" of this city, it is clear that "the policy of revitalizing rural stock construction land should be improved, and each agricultural area should be guided to tilt the revitalization of construction land indicators towards rural industries at a ratio of no less than 5%." Based on this requirement, Jiading completed the "Leisure Agriculture and Rural Tourism Development Plan" last year, sorting out 358.63 acres of construction land that can be used to cultivate leisure agriculture and rural tourism projects.

"In the future, we will arrange construction land reasonably based on the urgency of project implementation and the maturity of project plans. For high-quality projects, priority will be given to solving them through the supply of land by village collective economic organizations, so as to revitalize old factories and warehouses in rural areas." Zhang Guoping, Director of the Comprehensive Development Department of the Jiading District Agriculture and Rural Committee, told reporters.

Financial support is also very important for rural industrial projects. On June 21st, during the investment promotion event, Chongming sent invitations to several enterprises including Shanghai Huajing Investment Management Co., Ltd. to establish a Chongming Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Development Fund with a total scale of 1 billion yuan in the future, focusing on fields such as seed industry, agricultural machinery, and modern breeding. In early June this year, Qingcun Town in Fengxian District held a signing ceremony for the Industrial Fund of the Oriental Taoyuan Comprehensive Industrial Zone, and will create a platform for showcasing and selling characteristic agricultural products in the future.
Technology Empowerment Redefining "Agriculture" and "Investment Promotion"
Backed by a modern international metropolis, Shanghai's rural areas are different from those in other regions, with obvious advantages in market, technology, and funding. Nowadays, through the implementation of "agricultural investment promotion", rural areas in Shanghai are gradually overcoming the urban siphon effect, introducing technology and services into rural areas, and solving core problems such as increasing farmers' income and strengthening rural collective economy by developing high-end agriculture, boutique agriculture, and brand agriculture.

Shanghai Zuoan Xinhui Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., which has settled in Jiading, has been committed to the digital transformation and upgrading of agriculture and rural areas for a long time. The company has created a management system called "Shennong Pocket" for farmers, which integrates functions such as digital farm management, IoT management, and agricultural machinery scheduling. "We first map and code the land parcels, and then construct a visual agricultural production management model based on the land parcels. This way, farmers can manage their farms like playing 'Happy Farm'," said Zhang Bo, the chairman of the company.

For example, in summer, grapes need to be bagged before ripening, as bagging too early can lead to smaller fruits and later being susceptible to pests and diseases. With the "Shennong Pocket" disease and pest monitoring and control system, farmers can more accurately grasp the timing of bagging and ensure the quality of grapes.

Technological innovation is an important driving force for agricultural modernization. In the suburbs of Shanghai, various districts not only focus on attracting investment, but also pay more attention to attracting talents. The injection of new technologies and concepts has not only redefined "agriculture" - no longer "facing the yellow soil and back to the sky", but also "high-tech, high-quality, and high added value". It has also redefined "investment attraction" - not only to introduce enterprise entities and output economic benefits, but also a powerful measure to transform ecological advantages into development advantages, ecological assets into development capital, and ecological factors into development factors.
In April this year, Chongming teamed up with the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shanghai Ocean University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University to establish the Chongming Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Alliance. Thirteen agricultural science and technology platforms, including the Key Laboratory of Grain and Oil Crop Germplasm Innovation and Genetic Improvement and the Key Laboratory of Freshwater Aquatic Germplasm Resources, were simultaneously unveiled and established. At the investment promotion meeting on June 21st, Chongming District also showcased the development achievements of agricultural technology, demonstrating its confidence in building an "agricultural science and technology innovation island".
Taking Chongming Qingshui Crab as an example, Chongming and Shanghai Ocean University have carried out continuous and in-depth cooperation and exchange to jointly promote seed source innovation. Since last year, Chongming has teamed up with Shanghai Ocean University to develop a new line of river crab called "Chongming 1" based on the excellent variety "Jianghai 21". "In the future, the development of agriculture in Chongming will continue to promote the deep integration of 'politics, industry, academia, research and application', introduce more intellectual resources, and more and more cases of technology empowering agricultural development will be vividly demonstrated in Chongming," said the relevant person in charge of Chongming District.
