On the 28th, the Chinese government website announced the "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Promoting Steady, Healthy and Sustainable Development of Pig Production to Prevent Market Supply and Price Fluctuations." The notice pointed out that all regions and all relevant departments should focus on building a long-term mechanism to prevent prices from rising up and down, and to increase productivity, reduce the cyclical fluctuations in the live pig market, and promote steady, healthy and sustainable development of live pig production.

The notice first proposed to continue to vigorously support the production of live pigs, including support for standard-scale breeding of live pigs, improvement of live pig breeding subsidy system, improvement of pig breeder breeding policies, and expansion of support for live pigs transfer to large counties. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the Central Government will continue to arrange for the Central Government to invest 2.5 billion yuan each year to support the establishment of standard-scale breeding farms (districts) for live pigs, and increase investment as appropriate.

The notice stated that we must effectively strengthen the public prevention and control system for pig disease, implement free compulsory immunization, and improve the policy of culling and harmless treatment of live pigs. The central government’s subsidy for basic animal epidemic prevention workers shall be raised from 1,000 yuan per person per year to 1,200 yuan, and local governments shall also provide corresponding subsidies; raising the living pig subsidy standard for culling due to the need for epidemic prevention shall start from the current 600 yuan per head. Raise to 800 yuan.

The notice also proposed to further strengthen credit and insurance support for pig production, ensure the necessary capital investment for hog production, and implement a good insurance policy for fertility. The financial authorities at all levels must increase their support and establish and improve a secured loan system at the county level. Accelerate the construction of the rural credit guarantee system and provide credit guarantee services for the standardized farms (cells). At the same time, in accordance with the current regulations, we will continue to implement the policy of subsidizing insurance premiums for fertile sows.

In terms of strengthening regulation and supervision of the live pig market, the notice requires the establishment and improvement of the regulation mechanism of the live pig market, and the strengthening of market, quality and price supervision. To increase the total pork reserves of the central and local governments, we must increase the amount of living reserves and appropriately increase the amount of frozen pork reserves. The central and local governments should study and support the support of some key enterprises in establishing commercial reserves as a supplemental resource for the government to regulate and control the market and protect the government. The long-term stable operation of commercial reserves.

In addition, the notice also made specific requirements on improving the live pig production and market statistical monitoring system, properly arranging for the life of low-income groups and families with economically difficult students, correctly guiding market expectations, and strengthening local government responsibilities.

Notice of the State Council: Promoting Pig Production to Prevent Supply and Price Fluctuations. State Council General Office of the State Council on Promoting Healthy, Sustainable and Sustainable Development of Pig Production to Prevent Market Supply and Price Fluctuations. State Administration of Invention Electric Power [2011] No. 26 People's Governments of Provinces, Autonomous Regions and Municipalities, The ministries and commissions of the State Council and the agencies directly under the State Council:

Since 2007, the state has issued a series of policy measures that have effectively promoted the development of hog production and stabilized the market supply. However, due to factors such as rapid exit of live pigs from breeding households, frequent occurrence of live pig diseases and increasing pig-raising costs, and the lack of understanding of the importance of continuing to do this work in some regions and units, efforts have been made to grasp live pig production and market supply. Not enough, resulting in the tight supply of pork in the recent period, prices rose sharply, increased the burden on consumers, affecting the stability of the overall price level. If it is not properly handled, it will exacerbate the cyclical and repeated fluctuations, so that pig producers lack the confidence of long-term development of production. All regions and relevant departments must carefully sum up the experiences of all policies and measures implemented since 2007, and in accordance with the continuity and stability of policy measures, strengthen the overall requirements of market regulation, predictability, accuracy, and effectiveness. The implementation of the work will further strengthen the "vegetable basket" mayor's accountability system and focus on building a long-term mechanism to prevent prices from rising up and down, and to increase productivity, reduce the cyclical fluctuations in the live pig market, and promote steady, healthy and sustainable development of live pig production. With the consent of the State Council, the relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:

First, continue to vigorously support the production of live pigs (1) Support the standard-scale breeding of live pigs. The development of large-scale breeding of live pigs is an important measure to improve the stability of pig production. The local people's governments at various levels shall actively support the construction of standard-scale breeding farms (districts) for live pigs, improve feeding and epidemic prevention conditions, and increase the capacity of waste disposal so as to ensure that the productivity of live pigs in the region does not decline. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the Central Government will continue to arrange for the Central Government to invest 2.5 billion yuan each year to support the establishment of standard-scale breeding farms (districts) for live pigs, and increase investment as appropriate.

(B) improve the live pig breeding subsidy system. The implementation of the subsidy system for fertile sows is the key to protecting pig production capacity. All localities shall continue to pay a breeding allowance to the savvy sows at the rate of 100 yuan per year per head. The central government shall subsidize 60% of the central and western regions and subsidize 100% of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and the Central Directly-owned Reclamation Area.

(3) Improve the breeder breeding policies for pigs. Pay close attention to the development of the “12th Five-Year Plan” for the construction of the original good-breeding farm, continue to support the construction of the original pig breeding ground, and improve the breeding ability of the improved-breeding pigs. We will continue to implement the state's subsidy policy for the purchase of seminal fluid for improved breeders, increase subsidies, and actively promote the technology of artificial insemination in improved breeds to promote variety improvement.

(d) Expand support for pigs transferring large counties. We will continue to implement the policy of awarding large-scale county (farm) incentives for pigs, increase the scope of rewards from the current 421 counties to 500 counties, and mobilize the enthusiasm of local governments for the development of standardized scale farming. The incentive funds continue to be specifically used for the improvement of live pig production conditions, the strengthening of epidemic prevention services, loan interest subsidy, and premium subsidies in accordance with current methods.

Second, effectively strengthen the construction of the public prevention and control system for pig disease (1) Implement free compulsory immunization. Adhere to prevention as the main method, combine immunity with culling, and do a good job in prevention and control of live pig diseases. We will continue to implement the free compulsory immunization policy for animal epidemics of the country, support vaccine production and allocation, and safeguard the need for immunization. The funds required for the vaccine are jointly financed by the central government and local finances, and the central government provides appropriate subsidies. To improve the grass-roots animal epidemic prevention team, the central government's subsidies for basic animal epidemic prevention workers shall be raised from 1,000 yuan per person per year to 1,200 yuan, and local governments shall also provide corresponding subsidies.

(b) To improve the policy of culling and harmless treatment of live pigs for epidemic prevention. The increase in the standard of live pigs culled because of the need for epidemic prevention will increase from the current 600 yuan per head to 800 yuan. Ill-bought pigs must be determined not to slaughter, be allowed to eat, are not allowed to sell, are not allowed to be transhipped, and must be detoxified. The state has increased the support for the harmless treatment of sick and dead pigs, and increased the loss of pigs for slaughtered diseases from 500 yuan per head to 800 yuan; the cost of harmless treatment for diseased dead pigs in farms with standardized scales The first 80 yuan subsidy is shared by the central and local governments according to the current proportion of pigs culled.

Third, to further strengthen the credit and insurance support for pig production (a) to ensure the necessary capital investment in pig production. The financial authorities at all levels must increase their support and establish and improve a secured loan system at the county level. Accelerate the construction of the rural credit guarantee system and provide credit guarantee services for the standardized farms (cells). We will set up a joint-stock guarantee loan mechanism for large-scale breeding enterprises and formulate specific implementation measures to strengthen credit support for standardized pig farming enterprises.

(B) the implementation of good insurance policy of fertility. In accordance with the current regulations, we will continue to implement the policy of subsidizing insurance premiums for fertile sows. Establish a more stringent insurance and ear tag recognition, pig epidemic prevention and harmless treatment linkage mechanism to improve the insurance coverage of fertility.

Fourth, strengthen the regulation and supervision of the live pig market (I) Establish and improve the control mechanism of the live pig market. Establish and improve a mechanism to prevent over-fallen prices of live pigs on the basis of a reserve system and guarantee market supply mechanisms to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of producers, consumers, and operators. To increase the total pork reserves of the central and local governments, we must increase the amount of living reserves and appropriately increase the amount of frozen pork reserves. The central and local governments should study and support the support of some key enterprises in establishing commercial reserves as a supplemental resource for the government to regulate and control the market and protect the government. The long-term stable operation of commercial reserves. We must establish and improve early-warning indicators, improve the regulatory measures for reserve handling, and effectively prevent the excessive drop in live pig prices and the excessive increase in pork prices.

(b) Strengthening market, quality and price supervision. Further strengthen the quarantine and inspection of pork and its products, and strictly prohibit non-qualified pork and its products from entering the market without quarantine inspection or quarantine inspection. Seriously investigate and deal with slaughtering, processing and sales of illegal pork, water injection and other illegal acts, and regulate the trading behavior and circulation order of the live pig market. Strengthen supervision and inspection of the live pig market, severely investigate and punish illegal business operations, stock hoardings, and price increases that disrupt market order.

V. Improve the statistical monitoring system for live pig production and market (I) Strengthen monitoring statistics. The Bureau of Statistics should perfect the sampling survey system for live pigs, set production as scheduled on a monthly basis as soon as possible, and issue timely information on the number of live pigs, their structure, and the number of slaughtered pigs. The Development and Reform Commission must strengthen the cost investigation and market price monitoring and analysis of live pig production. The Ministry of Agriculture should strengthen dynamic tracking monitoring, analysis, early warning and price monitoring of live pig production, and focus on strengthening investigation, analysis and early warning of live pig structure, changes, and live pig disease. The Ministry of Commerce shall continue to investigate and count the slaughter volume of live pigs and the sales volume and price of pork and other livestock and poultry products. Relevant departments must gradually expand the coverage of monitoring survey sites according to the development of the situation and continuously improve the timeliness and accuracy of the data.

(b) Guarantee work funds. The central government must allocate funds to ensure the normal operation of statistics, monitoring, and analysis in the production, circulation, and consumption of live pigs and other "baskets".

VI. Properly Arranging Low-income Group and Family Economic Difficulties Students in provinces that have not yet established social assistance and security standards and price increase linkage linkage mechanisms will be established before the end of this year. The provinces already established must issue temporary price subsidies in a timely manner as required by the mechanism. At the same time, it is necessary to adopt fixed-point supply and reserve foods, implement well-funded policies for students with financial difficulties in the family, and strengthen the management of student canteens to ensure that the prices of meals for students in the cafeteria are basically stable.

VII. Correctly guide the market The various regions and relevant departments are expected to improve the unified information dissemination platform, publish relevant information on a regular basis in accordance with their responsibilities, and guide farmers to rationally adjust the breeding scale and optimize the breeding structure. The relevant functional departments shall perfect the news release system, timely and accurately publish the production, market and price information of hog and other “vegetable basket” commodities, objectively analyze the causes and impacts of price changes, and accurately interpret the state’s support for the development of pig production, stabilize market supply, and properly maintain Arrangements for measures taken and results achieved in the life of low-income groups. It is necessary to actively guide news media to truthfully, objectively and comprehensively report information on changes in the hog market, balance the impact of changes in pork prices on producers, consumers, and operators, prevent over-exaggeration, and strive to create a favorable atmosphere for public opinion.

VIII. Strengthening the Responsibilities of Local Governments Various localities should regard the development of pig production, the guarantee of market supply, and the basic stability of prices as an important part of the work to benefit people's livelihood and promote harmony.

(1) Guarantee the necessary land for pig breeding. Cities should establish large-scale hog farms in suburban counties to maintain the necessary scale of pig breeding and pork self-sufficiency. While increasing environmental protection efforts, various localities must rationally plan the construction of aquaculture areas, ensure the need for aquaculture land, and increase the support for the treatment of excreta in large-scale farms.

(B) give full play to the regulation of pork reserves. All localities must earnestly implement the provisions that the size of local pork reserves in the main sales areas and coastal large and medium-sized cities should be no less than the 10-day consumption of local residents, and that other cities should be no less than the 7-day consumption of local residents. According to the price changes in the live pig market, the timing, rhythm, and strength of the pork reserve throughput should be properly grasped to strengthen the regulation of pig production and markets.

(c) Implement responsibilities for epidemic prevention. Local governments shall increase input from grass-roots animal epidemic prevention agencies, purchase necessary inspection equipment for grass-roots animal epidemic disease prevention and control and animal health supervision agencies, implement work funds, improve working conditions, ensure the prevention and control of animal epidemics, and effectively strengthen monitoring of live pig disease. Prevention and control, increase the intensity of animal health supervision and law enforcement, promptly detect and dispose of the epidemic, and prevent the spread of the epidemic and the death of live pigs into the market.

(d) Develop work plans for implementation. The provincial people’s governments should pay close attention to the formulation of work plans for the promotion of live pig production and price stabilization in the province (region, city), and promote the development of standardized scale farming of live pigs, support for the construction of public anti-epidemic systems and manure disposal capacity, and improve the subsidy and insurance for breeding sows Institutions, improvement of credit guarantee system, promotion of improvement of pig breeds, protection of necessary pig breeding land, enrichment of local government reserves, implementation of harmless treatment of sick pigs during aquaculture and slaughtering, emergency price stabilization mechanism, and working capital security measures Make clear regulations and report to the State Council by the end of August 2011.

The relevant departments of the State Council shall, in accordance with their responsibilities, strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of the local government and report to the State Council in a timely manner. In areas where the implementation of the work has been completed well, it is necessary to give a report to the public and criticize the place where the implementation of the policy is weak and where fraud is falsified. At the same time, we must also grasp the production and market supply of other “vegetable basket” products such as beef and mutton, poultry, egg milk, and aquatic products.
