Five Contributions of Agriculture to National Economy

Grain contribution, raw material contribution, market contribution, factor contribution and foreign exchange contribution. Grain contribution means that agriculture provides food for the population of non-agricultural sectors centered on urban industrial workers. The contribution of raw materials means that agriculture provides raw materials for food processing, tobacco, textile and tanning industries. Market contribution means that farmers provide a broad rural market for the industrial sector by purchasing chemical fertilizers, agricultural machinery and other means of production produced by the industrial sector, as well as industrial consumer goods for daily life.

In real life, the vast majority of the population in China is in rural areas. The development of agricultural production is directly related to the improvement of the living standards of farmers, and whether they can achieve a well-off level and social stability by the end of this century. Because, to achieve a well-off living standard, it is very important whether this 80% population can reach it, and the stability of China depends on the stability of this 80% population.
