Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 23, Title: The first thing to do is to develop new agricultural quality productivity. The Central Document No. 1 points out the topic. Xinhua News Agency reporters Hu Lu and Gu Yiping

The Central Document No. 1 of 2025 was released on the 23rd. "Developing new agricultural productive forces" was first proposed in the Central Document No. 1 in previous years.

The document points out that scientific and technological innovation should lead the agglomeration of advanced production factors and develop new agricultural productivity according to local conditions. This is a key move to do a good job in the "three rural issues" and is also a must-answer question for my country to move from an agricultural power to an agricultural power.

New quality productivity in agriculture, science and technology should take the lead -

Last year, my country's grain output exceeded 1.4 trillion jin for the first time, and the comprehensive agricultural production capacity continued to improve. Among them, the contribution rate of increase in yield reached 80% to increase, and science and technology made an indelible contribution. Zhu Jing, a professor at Nanjing Agricultural University, believes that to continue to achieve stable and increased production on a high basis, the focus should be on improving yields, and to make every effort to promote the integration of fertile fields, good seeds, good technologies and good opportunities according to local and crops, improve the rate of technology in place, and drive large-scale grain production.

Seedling cultivation in intelligent greenhouses, fertilizing plant protection drones, and technology commissioners go to the countryside... During the spring plowing season, science and technology is "renewed", and it is a field scene of hope.

From good varieties to good opportunities, and then to good technologies, this year's Central Document No. 1 proposes "targeting to accelerate breakthroughs in key core technologies", "deeply implementing seed industry revitalization actions", "accelerating the conquest of a number of breakthrough varieties", "accelerating the research and development and application of domestic advanced and applicable agricultural machinery and equipment", "support the development of smart agriculture, expanding technical application scenarios such as artificial intelligence, data, and low altitude"... These targeted and precise "titles" have found the right breakthrough for developing new agricultural quality productivity, and also highlight the urgency of solving and answering questions.

The new quality productivity of agriculture, green is the background color—

The scientific and technological development of water-saving agriculture, dry crop agriculture, grain harvest and loss reduction, moderate processing and scientific storage will promote agriculture to take new steps in intensive and economical utilization; strengthen the traceability and rectification of heavy metal pollution in soil in agricultural land, strengthen food safety and agricultural product quality and safety from the source, and will bring us greener and healthier food.

The new quality productivity of agriculture must have "money prospects" -

Industrial revitalization is the top priority of rural revitalization. In recent years, rural characteristic industries in various places have shown their strengths. In Hanshou, Hunan, where water networks are intertwined, ecological breeding of turtles brings high returns; in Huangyan, Zhejiang, where the climate is warm and humid, honey oranges accelerate "fission" to increase economic added value; in Xiangcheng, Henan, where light, heat and water resources are rich, the sesame industry chain continues to extend to help farmers increase their income... Among them, the importance of developing new agricultural productivity according to local conditions is highlighted.

This year's Central Document No. 1 proposes to "promote the transformation and upgrading of agricultural product processing industry" and "create characteristic agricultural industrial clusters". At the same time, it emphasizes improving the mechanism of connecting farmers to lead agricultural agriculture, so that farmers can share more industrial value-added benefits; promote the deep integration of rural culture and tourism, carry out pilot projects to empower rural revitalization in cultural industries, and improve the level of characteristic, quality and standardization of rural tourism.

It can be imagined that the development of new agricultural quality productivity will cultivate more new rural industries and new business formats, so that the ancient farming civilization, the pastoral scenery with beautiful mountains and rivers will be integrated with the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, not only carries the needs of more people for leisure and tourism, but also opens up new "money prospects" for beautiful villages.
