How has agriculture developed since the reform and opening up?

1. In variety cultivation, a number of excellent germplasm resources and genes have been discovered, the gene location and sequencing of major crops such as rice, wheat and corn, and the genome sequencing of animals such as pigs, cattle and sheep have been basically completed, and the molecular breeding technology system of China Holstein cattle has been established.

2. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), since 1980s, agricultural production in ethnic autonomous areas has also developed greatly through socialist transformation and rural economic system reform. Compared with 1985 and 1952, the total agricultural output value increased from 4.65 billion yuan to 36.83 billion yuan; Grain increased from15.82 million tons to 40.06 million tons, and the number of large livestock (year-end stock) increased from 24.39 million to 47.49 million.

3. In the early days of reform and opening up, farmers' production and business activities were single, with a single source of income, mainly agricultural income, mainly grain income, and material income accounted for a large proportion. With the development of market economy, the change of rural employment structure and the deepening of system reform, the trend of marketization, diversification and non-agriculture of farmers' income sources is obvious, and the income pattern of farmers has undergone fundamental changes.

4. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council adhere to the principle of coordinated development of large, medium and small cities and small towns, and rural non-agricultural industries with township enterprises as the main body and small town construction as the support have developed rapidly. All localities pay more attention to the transformation of agricultural products processing, highlight green brands, and build a number of leading enterprises with distinctive characteristics in agricultural products processing. Agricultural products processing has become a new bright spot in the development of township enterprises.

After the reform and opening up, farmers have gained the right to choose their own jobs and work in cities. The number and proportion of employees in non-agricultural industries have increased rapidly, and the number of farmers going out has increased steadily. The relationship between supply and demand of rural labor force and employment presents a new pattern.

6. In terms of technology research and development, the comprehensive management of low-yield fields in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain and the technology of two-line hybrid rice won the national special prize for scientific and technological progress. Important progress has been made in the research on prevention and control of animal and plant epidemics and comprehensive pest management technology, and the monitoring and early warning technology system for major animal and plant diseases tends to be perfect. The research and development of highly pathogenic avian influenza vaccine is at the international leading level.

Light. China agricultural science and technology has made a series of original achievements.
