Chinese Grain Subsidy Policy Analysis At The Goal Of China Food Security And Farmer Income

The policies of gain subsidy was arisen as series of crisis appeared, such the farmland decreasing, the difficulty for farmers to improve their income, the slow speed of reform of grain distribution system, prepared for WTO, if those crisis can't handle well, the state provision security would be in a hard situation. The new gain subsidies policies which were available in 2004 have fulfilled serials of its goal inspiring farmer and grains output shooting up and improving farmer's incoming.however, there are some problems we can't ignore.Generally, the goal of grain subsidy polices is changing as the times.In our country, the goal is subjected into two kinds, first, the out put of grain, that is to say balancing the supply and need and guaranteeing provision security; second, the incoming, which such polices can improve farmers'incoming. However, the question is whether the usually definition of the goal is according with our right now situation? There are 800 million farmers in China, if the subsidies'goal is just improving farmers'incoming, it is not enough because there are too many farmers the national finance can't stand. So in this case, increasing farmer's incoming or Generalized System of Preferences is not accurate.Provision security is the most important goal to fulfill for grain subsidies polices, but, the two important standard to evaluate provision security are sustained and stable grain output.How to make the sustained and stable grain output, in my opinion the inspiration of the farmers should be lit. So the people who need be subsidized to be "grain farmer" not all of the farmers. The grain subsidies police should be special not generalized.The grain subsidies police do not effect well in developing farmers'incoming or increasing grain out-put. There are several reasons for this, first, either the goal provision security or increasing farmer'incoming is not easy and simple job, anyway, the two goal should be put in a wider public police system; second, in the different stage of social development, the issues need resolved are different, so, the developing incoming level and increasing grain are never the same question, if put them two together before demonstrating aspect them and also have no special police goal, the grail subsidies polices would not effect in consequence; third, in activating subsidies police, the factors such as the police arrangement, the people supervising them, the processed all would affect the consequence;finally, lacking related theory supporting that is few theory about grain direct subsidies police and no final agreement on the contradiction appearing in the processed and inaccurately demonstrating the police, all of them have affected the police's consequences.In order to enhance the practice effect of our agricultural subsidy policy, this paper puts forward related proposals and counter measures. First, we should clear the subsidies goals, increasing the grain output is always the most important one, there are many way to increase their incoming in the industrialization and urbanization, farmers living a life no longer solely depend on land, so the people who should subsidies to is "grain farmers" not all of the farmers. as to the problems that high process cost, subsidies inefficiency, it is better to direct subsidies to grain producers and cut off the unnecessary process. Besides what I have referred to, there are still many things we need to do, such as the reform of state grain reserve system, refine the supervision system of agricultural materials market.
