Opinions on Establishing Subsidy System for Maize Producers
Recently, the official website of the Ministry of Finance announced that the Ministry of Finance, together with relevant departments, has issued the "Opinions on the Implementation of Establishing a Subsidy System for Maize Producers" (referred to as "Opinions on Implementation"). The reform of the temporary maize storage system has landed. This year, the State decided to subsidize farmers to grow maize.
Policy Intensive Reading:
1. Why should we implement the new maize subsidy policy?
One is to complete the supply-side task, so that corn production and demand can be better integrated. The second is to establish the mechanism of grain circulation market, so that the price mechanism triggered by the market-entrusted purchase can be returned to the formation mechanism of the grain price market.
2. What is the difference between the new maize subsidy policy and previous years?
According to the principle of "market pricing and price-compensation separation", the state will establish a subsidy system for corn producers in Northeast China (Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang) and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region this year. The state will no longer carry out temporary storage and give farmers a certain subsidy.
3. How much subsidy will maize be given this year?
At present, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant ministries and commissions have not published the text of specific documents.
