150,000 villages nationwide have completed the reform of joint stock cooperation

In recent years, China has deepened the reform of rural collective property rights system. Up to now, more than 150,000 villages have completed the reform of joint-stock cooperative system of operational assets, and more than 300 million collective members have been recognized, with a cumulative dividend of 325.1 billion yuan to farmers. Zhao Changbao, deputy director of the Policy and Reform Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas, said that the reform of rural collective property rights system was a major event in rural reform. Deeply promoting the reform of rural collective property rights system is an important measure to realize the common prosperity of farmers, an important guarantee to consolidate the Party's ruling foundation in rural areas, and an important task to implement the strategy of rural revitalization. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the relevant departments have continuously pushed forward the reform, promulgated programmatic documents, actively carried out reform pilot projects, carried out assets clearance and capital verification work, and established the registration system of rural collective economic organizations.

He said that since 2015, China has carried out three batches of rural collective property rights system reform pilot projects, a total of three provinces, 50 cities and 279 counties have been identified as central pilot units. The first two batches of 129 counties have now completed the pilot tasks. Three departments, such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas, have issued registration and coding documents for collective economic organizations. Last year, for the first time, 10 newly established collective economic organizations were issued registration certificates. Collective economic organizations have unified national "identity cards".

Zhao Changbao said that in the next step, we will focus on the two hard tasks of clearing up assets and verifying capital, and the reform of joint-stock cooperative system, and deepen the scope and grasp the hard work. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas will form a national general report on capital verification for assets clearance, which will be submitted to the Central Committee of the Party and the State Council. We will accelerate the pilot reform of the property rights system and strive to cover about 80% of the county-level units. Cooperate with relevant departments to implement policies to support and strengthen the village-level collective economy, formulate and implement plans to promote the development of weak collective economy villages in poor areas, and actively promote the legislative process of collective economic organizations.
