In China, basic farmland is strictly protected, and individuals or units are not allowed to engage in "non-grain" activities in the area, including planting fruit trees. If fruit trees have been planted on basic farmland, measures must be taken to restore the cultivated layer. So if a farmer plants fruit trees on basic farmland without approval, will he face penalties?
(1) The fruit tree has reached the peak fruiting period
When the fruit tree has reached the peak fruiting period, it should be reported to the relevant departments as soon as possible. Taking the initiative to report is also good for yourself, and you can reduce some penalties. After receiving the report, the relevant departments will go to the countryside to investigate as soon as possible, consider the specific situation to give farmers a certain transition period, and give appropriate economic compensation for the restoration of the cultivated layer.
At this time, fruit farmers and farmers need to comply with the requirements of the relevant departments and cooperate with the investigation and reclamation work. They can apply to plant fruit trees on the wasteland in the village, or apply for some new land. As soon as the land grant is granted, measures are taken to transplant the fruit trees to the new land and restore them to their original cultivation purposes. This avoids detection and penalties.
(2) Fruit trees are immature fruit seedlings
If the trees are immature, the growers and farmers need to use the wasteland in the village or apply for new land. As soon as the land grant is obtained, measures are taken to transplant the fruit trees and restore them to their original cultivation use. This avoids detection and penalties.
In rural areas, whether it is farmland in self-cultivation areas or basic farmland in circulation, it must be used in strict accordance with local regulations. There will be priorities and clear use rules for the use of cultivated land in rural areas. Individuals are not free to decide how to plant. If you want to change the nature of the cultivated land, you must go through the approval of the relevant departments, otherwise you will be punished in accordance with the provisions of the Land Management Law.
Therefore, farmers and fruit growers should follow the regulations in the use of cultivated land, act in accordance with the law, and do not take chances. If there is a need to plant fruit trees or other non-food activities, it is necessary to apply and approve it in accordance with the prescribed procedures. Only lawful and compliant cultivation practices can be protected and supported.
Rural basic farmland is an important grain production base of the country, and the protection of basic farmland is of great significance to agricultural development and national food security. China has enacted a series of laws and regulations to protect basic farmland, and set out specific requirements for its use and management.
However, in the case of planting fruit trees, for example, there are still some farmers and fruit growers who plant on basic farmland in violation of regulations. This is related to the peasants' pursuit of profits and the inadequacy of some management measures. Therefore, we need to strengthen the protection and management of basic farmland in rural areas from various aspects.
First of all, strengthen publicity and education, so that farmers and fruit farmers understand the importance of laws and regulations, and enhance their consciousness and awareness of operating according to law. At the same time, we will intensify law enforcement and severely punish illegal acts to form a strong deterrent.
Second, it is necessary to establish a sound supervision mechanism and strengthen the monitoring and inspection of the use of cultivated land. Timely discovery of illegal planting behaviors, stop and rectify, and investigate the corresponding responsibility.
Third, we should strengthen policy support and guidance for farmers, encourage farmers to carry out sustainable agricultural production, and promote scientific planting and efficient agricultural technology. By improving the comprehensive quality and planting technology of farmers, increasing their income**, and enhancing farmers' recognition and confidence in legal agricultural planting.
In short, the protection of basic farmland in rural areas is an important part of ensuring national food security. Only by strengthening legal publicity, intensifying law enforcement, establishing a supervision mechanism, and improving policy support and guidance can we effectively protect basic farmland and achieve the goals of sustainable agricultural development and food security. It is hoped that the vast number of farmers and fruit farmers will realize the importance of basic farmland, operate agriculture in accordance with the law, actively participate in the protection and management work, and jointly build a beautiful and livable rural area.
