Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting Urbanization Construction with County Towns as Important Carriers" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), and the county economy will enter a new period of development.

As an agricultural supply chain industry, the polyester group plays an important role in the connector between agricultural production and end consumption, what impact will the introduction of this policy bring to our industry?

01 How to understand the current county development?

The county seat is an important part of China's urban system. At the end of 2021, China's urban permanent population was 910 million. Among them, the population of county towns and county-level cities accounts for nearly 30% of the country's urban permanent population, and the number of counties and county-level cities accounts for about 65% of the number of county-level administrative divisions. Promoting the construction of county towns is conducive to guiding the rural transfer population to urbanization nearby, and improving the spatial layout of urbanization for the coordinated development of large, medium, and small cities and towns.

The county seat is an important support for the integrated development of urban and rural areas. China has reached the stage of development where industry feeds agriculture and cities support rural areas, and county towns are located at the "end of the city and the head of the countryside", which is a natural carrier connecting the city and serving the countryside. Promoting the construction of county towns is not only conducive to meeting the increasing needs of farmers to work and settle down in county seats, but also conducive to radiating and driving rural development and agricultural and rural modernization, and also conducive to strengthening the connection and cooperation between county towns and neighboring cities.

In addition, the construction of county towns is also an important engine for expanding domestic demand and an important guarantee for a better life for the people.

On development potential

Nowadays, the development space of large and medium-sized cities is becoming more and more limited, and as the most extensive connection between urban and rural areas, the county seat is still a blue ocean, which can continue to absorb a large number of rural transfer population, and in the second half of urbanization, the county will become the protagonist.

On special status

The county seat, which can link large and medium-sized cities at the top and radiate the vast rural areas, is a necessary part of helping the countryside obtain development factors, and carries the "Chinese dream" of the majority of farmers, and is an important carrier for narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas.

In the future, with the increase of the county's population, the development of the county's economy, the expansion of the market and the upgrading of consumption, there will be a huge demand for healthy ingredients, thereby creating a new growth space for the food distribution industry.

02 Rationally develop the main producing areas and counties of agricultural products

The "Opinions" put forward the need to "scientifically grasp the functional positioning, classify and guide the development direction of the county", which clarified the rational development of the main agricultural product producing areas of the county, "promote the county located in the main agricultural product producing area to develop rural secondary and tertiary industries, extend the agricultural industry chain, do better and stronger agricultural product processing industry and agricultural productive service industry, more absorption of agricultural transfer population in the county, to effectively serve the "three rural" and ensure food security to provide support. ”

Xiaodi reviews

China's counties are huge, various, and have different development paths, so we should adapt measures to local conditions, respect different resource conditions and industrial bases, and focus on making the agricultural industry deeper, stronger and bigger, with large agriculture as the core industry, vigorously develop secondary and tertiary industries, extend the industrial chain, promote industrial integration, and improve the industrial ecology, which will bring development opportunities to agricultural product processing, catering, rural tourism and other industries, and achieve all-round high-quality development.

For example, the one-county-one-museum project carried out by Dijiu is based on the county, relying on the rich agricultural resources in the surrounding area, extending the industrial chain, not only increasing employment opportunities, but also creating new value for local industrial upgrading.

03 Cultivate and develop industries with special advantages

Industry is the foundation of the construction and development of the county, and only with industry can there be jobs and population agglomeration. For the development of county industries, the "Opinions" put forward "cultivating and developing characteristic and advantageous industries and steadily expanding county jobs", including enhancing the county's industrial support capacity, improving the function of the industrial platform, improving the commercial and trade circulation network, improving the consumption infrastructure, and strengthening vocational skills training.

Industrial revitalization will not only create vitality for the county economy, but also benefit the surrounding villages and become an important support for rural revitalization. However, at present, there are obvious shortcomings in the development of many counties, such as a single industry, weak industrial platform functions, and imperfect supporting facilities, which raise the operating costs of enterprises. In this context, the "Opinions" attach great importance to the supporting construction of county-level industries, platform building and the soundness of industrial ecology, and strive to attract the inflow of production factors, help enterprises reduce costs, and consolidate the industrial foundation of the county by providing shared and shared supporting facilities for local enterprises.

At present, the Dijiu Group is building a county-one-hall project in more than 100 key counties across the country, displaying high-quality agricultural products at the county level through the Dijiu exhibition hall, promoting agricultural products through live broadcast, and jointly building agricultural brands with government and enterprises, so as to drive the scale and standardization of local agricultural production, so as to promote the upstream and downstream of the production chain to jointly reduce costs and increase efficiency.
