Farmer subsidies *** The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs urgently cracked down on deception.
Introduction: Agricultural machinery purchase subsidy is one of the important policies formulated to encourage farmers to use modern agricultural machinery. However, it has recently been reported that in the process of issuing agricultural machinery subsidies, there has been a fraudulent subsidy, which has attracted great attention from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and has taken action against this fraudulent subsidy. According to reports, Henan Saiteng Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. is suspected of defrauding rice fertilizer applicator subsidies in Jiangsu, Guangxi and other places, destroying the rational allocation of financial funds and making farmers lose real benefits. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has organized a working group to carry out verification in relevant areas, and will severely crack down on the violations of laws and regulations by the enterprises and personnel involved. After that, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will strengthen the management of subsidies for rice fertilization machinery, seriously investigate and deal with existing problems, and ensure the fairness and effectiveness of the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery.
Behind the subsidy fraud.
Recently, the TV station's "Economic Half Hour" column has cheated on the subsidy for the purchase of agricultural machinery, which has aroused people's doubts about the use and management of this policy. Through the investigation, it was found that agricultural machinery dealers and individual farmers in some areas colluded with each other to use agricultural machinery products"Saiten"Fertilizer applicators defraud subsidies. These agricultural machinery dealers deliver these fertilizer applicators to farmers, who can then hand over the subsidies they receive directly to the dealers, thus redirecting the funds to the purchase of agricultural machinery in the name of subsidies. This kind of behavior not only violates the original intention of the subsidy policy, but also undermines the rational allocation of fiscal funds.
However, this fraud is not an isolated case. In some farmer homes in Jiangsu, a large number of fertilizer applicators have been left idle in warehouses for more than two years without actual use. Farmers are dissatisfied with the performance of these fertilizer spreaders, believing that they operate inefficiently and often get stuck. They even jokingly call these machines as"Zombie agricultural machinery"。A similar situation also occurred in Dantu District, Zhenjiang City, where an agricultural machinery company would fight"Saiten agricultural machinery"brand of fertilizer machines are used to carry out the so-called"Activities", that is, to help farmers receive subsidies and transfer subsidies to agricultural machinery companies. This series of behaviors is worrying about the rigor and effectiveness of the implementation of the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy.
However, we should not question the value of the entire subsidy policy just because of the illegal operation of a few people. Agricultural machinery purchase subsidy is a policy established to encourage farmers to purchase modern agricultural machinery, improve agricultural production efficiency, and promote rural economic development. It can reduce the cost of farmers to purchase agricultural machinery and improve the efficiency of agricultural operations, which is of great significance to farmers. Therefore, we need to rectify this situation by strengthening management and supervision to ensure that the subsidy funds are effectively used, improve the conditions for agricultural production, and benefit the vast number of farmers.
Urgent crackdown by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
In the face of the fraud incident, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has taken emergency measures to crack down on fraud and compensation, protect the rights and interests of farmers and the rational allocation of financial funds. After learning of the problem, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs immediately instructed the agricultural and rural departments of Henan, Jiangsu, Guangxi and other provinces (autonomous regions) to set up working groups to carry out verification and handling work in relevant areas. The working group will cooperate with the public security, market supervision and other departments to quickly investigate and deal with the enterprises and personnel involved, and announce the results to the public. At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will also work with the discipline inspection and supervision departments to investigate the verification of grassroots subsidy products, and the problems found will be dealt with seriously. In addition, the working group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will also go to the relevant provinces to supervise and guide the verification and handling work to ensure that the problem is completely resolved and the responsible persons are severely punished.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs resolutely cracks down on violations of law and discipline and defrauds subsidies"Zero tolerance"。It is necessary not only to solve the current problems, but also to prevent and contain the recurrence of similar incidents at the source. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will organize and carry out special rectification work on rice planting and fertilization subsidies, and strengthen the supervision of the verification and evaluation of subsidized products. At the same time, we will increase the supervision and guidance of the subsidy work in various localities to ensure that the subsidy policy is implemented. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will also transfer those suspected of criminal offenses to the judicial organs, so that violators can receive due legal punishment.
Rethink the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery.
The first incident of fraudulent subsidy has triggered people's reflection on the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery. Agricultural machinery purchase subsidies are an important policy to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers and rich farmers, and promote the development of agricultural production and rural economy by reducing the burden of farmers to purchase modern agricultural machinery. However, there have been some problems in the implementation of this policy, which have led to the misuse and waste of funds.
First of all, for agricultural machinery dealers and farmers involved in fraudulent subsidies, it is necessary to strengthen legal publicity and education and training to improve their awareness and understanding of subsidy policies. Only by strengthening popular education and allowing them to establish risk awareness and legal awareness can we effectively prevent the occurrence of similar incidents of fraudulent compensation.
Second, it is necessary to strengthen the management and supervision of agricultural machinery subsidies. **Relevant departments should establish and improve the subsidy payment process and supervision mechanism, strengthen the acceptance and review of agricultural machinery products, and ensure the true and legal use of subsidy funds. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and inspection of agricultural machinery dealers and farmers, and discover and solve problems in a timely manner.
Finally, the implementation of the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery must be further refined and precise. **The department should formulate corresponding subsidy standards and requirements according to the actual situation to ensure the rational use of funds and maximize benefits. At the same time, it is necessary to work closely with agricultural scientific and technological personnel, grassroots rural organizations, and professional cooperatives to strengthen guidance and training for agricultural modernization and provide better technical support and services.
The purpose of formulating the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery is to improve the production conditions of farmers and improve agricultural production efficiency, which is of great significance to promote rural modernization and sustainable agricultural development. We cannot deny the value of the policy as a whole because of individual violations. By strengthening supervision and management and increasing penalties, we can maintain the fairness and effectiveness of the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, ensure the authority and credibility of the agricultural and rural sectors, and achieve the long-term goal of the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy.
