Jiangsu's agricultural machinery subsidy mechanism is effective and scientifically effective

A few days ago, the Audit Office of Jiangsu Province formed a special audit investigation team to conduct an audit investigation on the implementation of the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery in the province and the distribution, use, and management of subsidy funds. In 2011, the province implemented a total of 920 million yuan in subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery at the central and provincial levels, subsidized 290,000 sets (sets) of equipment, and enjoyed 120,000 grants.

A few days ago, the Audit Office of Jiangsu Province formed a special audit investigation team to conduct an audit investigation on the implementation of the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery in the province and the distribution, use, and management of subsidy funds. The results show that in recent years, the Ministry of Finance and Agricultural Machinery of Jiangsu Province has been earnestly implementing the No. 1 document of the Central Committee, the Provincial Party Committee, and the National Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Work Conference, focusing on summing up experience, improving, and innovating mechanisms to form a set of scientifically regulated and effective standards. The system and measures for the implementation of the policy have achieved positive results and effectively promoted the development of the province's agricultural mechanization and agricultural modernization. In 2011, the province implemented a total of 920 million yuan in subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery at the central and provincial levels, subsidized 290,000 sets (sets) of equipment, and enjoyed 120,000 grants.

The first is to establish a fund allocation mechanism that combines stability and flexibility. The Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Jiangsu Province and the Department of Finance of Jiangsu Province established a stable mechanism for determining the distribution plan of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy funds based on factors such as the sown area of ​​major crops, the demand for subsidies for implements, and the implementation of the previous year's subsidy policies. At the same time, the transplanters, straw returning machines, and plant protection machines that are urgently needed for the key links in the production of key crops are implemented according to the needs of farmers. In 2011, subsidies totaled 295 million yuan.

The second is to establish a system of dynamic adjustment of subsidy implements. Combining the results of the surveys of cities and counties and the opinions of the relevant provincial departments, we should appropriately increase the efficiency of special equipment for agricultural production and the actual needs of farmers, and withdraw subsidies from timely withdrawal of machinery with low demand, high degree of marketization, and high holding capacity; Operational irregularities, product quality instability, and a large impact on the scope of machine tool exit subsidies.

The third is to establish a system for measuring and subsidizing machine tools that have comparisons. After investigating and mastering the market price of the subsidized equipment, the general subsidy equipment will be measured at 30% of the market price, and compared with the subsidy standards announced by the state, according to the principle of “low to high”, the lower one is selected as the province. Set the subsidy standards and ensure that the subsidy standards formulated are reasonable and economical.

The fourth is to establish more reasonable working procedures and supporting specifications. The province's agricultural machinery purchase procedures are standardized and the powers and responsibilities are clear. The "Circular on Printing and Distributing <Methods for the Implementation of Subsidies for Central and Provincial Financial Acquisition of Agricultural Machinery in 2011"" issued by the Ministry of Agriculture has clearly defined the subsidy for the acquisition of agricultural machinery by the agricultural machinery authorities, financial departments, production enterprises, distribution companies, and subsidized objects at all levels within the province. Rights, obligations and responsibilities at work. At the same time, the supporting standards are relatively in place, clearly defining the working standards in terms of organization guarantees, publicity methods, archives, funds, personnel, and supervision and management, and ensuring the quality of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies.

The fifth is to establish a more scientific anti-government risk prevention and control system. The Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Jiangsu Province drew up a business flow chart for the purchase subsidies for agricultural machinery, and looked for risk control points in terms of risk links, risk performance, and risk level, proposed practical and feasible prevention and control measures, and clarified the relevant parties responsible for the responsibility, from the process. Prevent the possibility of rent seeking. It also receives follow-up supervision from the department's disciplinary inspection team and the supervisory office, and conducts supervision and inspections in conjunction with rectification work.

The Special Auditing and Investigation Team of the Audit Office of Jiangsu Province pointed out in the report that the establishment of various mechanisms and systems has provided effective guarantees for scientifically fair, safe, and efficient management of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy funds from the source and full implementation of the policy of strengthening agriculture and benefiting farmers. In particular, in 2012, the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Jiangsu Province and the Department of Finance of Jiangsu Province continued to explore institutional innovations and improved the subsidy mechanism in line with the idea of ​​“reduce administrative power and strengthen social supervision”. The first is to innovate the subsidy fund settlement method, implement the full price purchase by the farmers, and the County Finance Bureau directly pays the subsidy funds through the account number of the purchaser to make the purchase of subsidized machine tools return to the market; and the second is to expand the list of Uighur General Machinery implements and implement the 12 types of implements. Benefit system; third is to facilitate the purchase of farmers, purchasers only need to go to the township agricultural sector to complete the subsidy policy to inform the confirmation form, you can directly purchase the purchase unit; Fourth, strengthen policy supervision, further refinement of duties, quantitative punishment measures , from the system to ensure the supervision of the implementation of the policy.
