Focus on integrating investment policies for agricultural and rural development

(Baonghean.vn) - After monitoring in some localities, on the afternoon of November 19, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council had a working session with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on the implementation of Resolution No. 125/2014/NQ-HDND, dated July 16, 2014 of the Provincial People's Council on a number of policies to support investment in agricultural and rural development.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council chaired the meeting.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council requested the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and localities to focus on integrating policies to create more effective investment in agriculture and rural areas.

According to the report of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, after more than 1 year of implementation, the policy to support investment in agriculture and rural areas under Resolution 125 has been put into practice, targeting the right subjects, contributing to promoting agricultural production and rural development in the province. 24/25 policies of the resolution have been implemented in practice.

Notably, the policy of supporting new pure peanut varieties has quickly brought high-yield, good-quality peanut varieties such as L23, L26, L14 into production, especially in the winter crop. Or the policy of supporting new tea planting has encouraged and created conditions for people in Tuong Duong, Con Cuong, and Ky Son districts to plant 1,000 hectares of industrial tea.

Support for functional tractors has also encouraged mechanization in production. Policies for developing orange, tangerine, passion fruit, rubber trees and livestock such as buffalo, cows, pigs, etc. have also been effectively implemented.

Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Van Lap reported the results after more than 1 year of implementing Resolution 125 of the Provincial People's Council.

However, the problem is that policies are issued but resources are not guaranteed, leading to localities with great needs but not being met. Because the settlement records require many procedures, some localities do not want to implement some policies that require complicated procedures such as red invoices, contracts, technical design documents... Some policies, although newly issued in a short time, but due to the requirements of developing some key plants and animals of the province, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development continues to propose the Provincial People's Council to amend in the coming time.

Deputy Head of the Economic - Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council, Mr. Tran Quoc Chung raised concerns that the investment policy for agricultural and rural development has been amended several times and in the near future, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development will continue to propose amending a number of policies.

Mr. Nguyen Trung Long - Department of Finance clarified some difficulties in resources to ensure full implementation of the policy.

Speaking at the meeting, comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council requested the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to coordinate with the Department of Finance to develop plans and allocate resources to implement appropriate, scientific and practical policies, both ensuring principles and creating favorable conditions for the grassroots.

Along with that is strengthening the direction and guidance for localities to actively implement and bring policies into life, focusing on integrating central policies and provincial policies, avoiding duplication or omission of policies. Especially, in the context of difficult budget sources, the implementation of policies needs to be specified, clearly defining the focus and key points in each locality, avoiding spreading and massive implementation, the consequences of which are policy debt and loss of trust among the people....
