China works to build new countryside

The number of poverty-stricken people is on the decline thanks to the rapid increase in farmers' income, the report said.

In 2006, there were 21.48 million poor people with an annual income of less than 693 yuan, 6.72 million less than 2002.

The authorities have attached more importance on the quality of agricultural products during the past four years, the NBS said.

Rural areas' industrial structure has become more rational. The proportion of agriculture in the rural economy in terms of output dropped by 0.9 percentage points to 29.6 percent. That of industry rose by 1.9 percentage points to 54.8 percent. While the proportion of agriculture is on the decline, forestry and livestock breeding is on the rise.

The quality of agricultural products has improved, the report said. The proportion of high-quality rice strains reached 69.1 percent in 2006. Wheat, corn and soybeans were 55.2 percent, 42 percent and 65.7 percent respectively.

The non-farming industries have boomed in the rural areas during the 2003-06 period, which has helped push rural economic growth, the report said.

Some rural township enterprises and manufacturers of agricultural products have strengthened their competitive edge by focusing on local advantage and producing organic products, the report said.

In 2006, township enterprises registered a turnover of 24.68 trillion yuan, up 90.2 percent from 2002.

From 2003 to 2006, authorities increased spending on social causes in rural areas, the report said.

The State has initiated a new cooperative healthcare program in rural areas, where farmers shoulder just one-third of insurance costs while central and local governments share the remaining two-thirds.

By the end of 2006, 1,451 counties nationwide, or more than half of all counties, had started the program, which has benefited a total of 410 million farmers, almost half of the rural population.

The rural population covered by the rural minimum living allowance regime increased to 15.93 million in 2006, about four times that of 2002.

The State has also exempted students receiving nine-year compulsory education in the western regions from paying tuition starting from 2006 and offered grants to those from poverty-stricken families.

The new policy will have far-reaching influence on rural education and reduction in farmers' financial burden, the NBS said in the report.
