He Xiang, a tea farmer in Jinzhuping Village, Sun Township, the core production area, said. Now green planting has become a conscious action of tea farmers, and Huoshan yellow bud has become a national geographical indication protection product. Agricultural green production is flourishing. The total number of green food, organic agricultural products and geographical indication agricultural products in China has exceeded 40,000. Cheng Jingen, inspector of the Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Supervision Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas, said that this year was the first year to implement the protection project of geographical indications for agricultural products. The state will rely on natural resources endowments of various regions to cultivate a number of geographical indications for agricultural products, build a number of protection bases and create a number of "local" and "township" special products. Cards. The Ministry of Finance has decided to put the protection project of geographical indications of agricultural products into the transfer payment of the central government for key support.

Agricultural structure continued to optimize, and rural industry improved quality and efficiency. This year's wheat quality is obviously better than last year's. The area of high-quality special wheat accounts for 33%, which is 3 percentage points higher than last year's. The soybean area is expected to increase by more than 10 million mu. Agricultural product processing industry continued to maintain good momentum. In the first half of the year, agricultural product processing industry realized a 3.4% increase in business income over the same period of last year.

Consolidate the structural reform foundation of supply side and build a high-quality agricultural development platform. Up to the first half of this year, 114 national-level modern agricultural industrial parks have been established in China. Demonstration has led to the creation of more than 1,000 provincial and a large number of municipal and county-level industrial parks. 552 strong agricultural towns have become model models for rural industrial integration and industrial-urban integration. Wei Baigang, Director of Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas, introduced that 62 national-level modern agricultural parks were established in 2017 and 2018, with an average output value of more than 6 billion yuan per industrial park, attracting 142,000 entrepreneurs returning to the countryside and mobilizing social capital of more than 18 billion yuan. The per capita disposable income of farmers in the parks was 34.4 billion higher than that of the counties in which they were located. Market stability and sufficient supply safety on the tip of the tongue, affecting millions of households. The results of monitoring by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas showed that in the first half of this year, the overall eligibility rate of sampling inspection of agricultural products in China was 97.2%, up 0.1 percentage points from the same period last year. Among 108 varieties monitored, 64 were more than 99% qualified. The qualified rate of vegetables reached the best level in history, and the quality and safety level of agricultural products continued to stabilize and improve.

Routine monitoring of agricultural products has formed a relatively perfect and mature monitoring system after five adjustments since it was launched in 2001 in four cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Shenzhen. At present, 130 parameters of 108 daily fresh agricultural products consumed in five categories, including vegetables, fruits, tea, livestock and poultry products and aquatic products, are monitored quarterly in 31 provinces and 153 large and medium-sized cities.

This year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has adjusted its monitoring plan again. One is to improve random sampling. The second is to increase the sampling ratio of edible agricultural products from cultivation and breeding to entering wholesale, retail markets or production and processing enterprises. The sampling proportion of "three front" responsible for agricultural and rural departments such as production bases, temporary ponds and slaughterhouses has increased from 27% last year to 50% this year. Third, increase the parameters of prohibited drugs. The key point is to increase the parameters of banned veterinary drugs and antibiotics for livestock and poultry products and aquatic products, and to increase the monitoring parameters to 130 items. At present, the production and marketing of agricultural products in China are booming, and the supply of poultry, dairy products and aquatic products is adequate. In the first half of the year, the output of beef, mutton and poultry was 14.42 million tons, an increase of 4.3%, milk production increased by 1.7%, and aquatic product production increased by 27.7 million tons, an increase of 1.1%.
