The reason why the party and the state attach importance to "strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers and enriching farmers"

it boils down to one sentence-agriculture is the foundation of the national economy.

agriculture is the source of food and clothing for human society and the foundation of survival. Besides, China is a populous country. Only by solving the problem of eating well can we develop other industries and ensure social stability. Social instability, not to mention the development of the secondary and tertiary industries, not to mention modernization. China, a country with a large population, can only seek its own prosperity and strength in the complicated international relations if it has enough food.

2. Necessary conditions for the existence and development of other material production departments such as industry and all non-material production departments. Agriculture is the main source of raw materials for industry, especially light industry; Provide a broad market for the development of the secondary and tertiary industries; It is an important source of national construction funds accumulation; It is an important source of export materials.

3. Agriculture is the guarantee to support the continuous development and progress of the whole national economy. The history of China's economic development proves that the development of agriculture is smooth and the growth rate is fast, and the development speed of the whole national economy is fast; On the contrary, the retrogression of agricultural production will bring serious damage to the development of national economy and people's lives.

China must vigorously develop agriculture and strengthen its basic position. To develop agriculture, we should pay attention to farmers and rural construction. Only with the development of agriculture and the improvement of agricultural labor productivity can more manpower, material resources and talents be transferred to the secondary and tertiary industries, especially to the tertiary industry, so as to promote the modernization of the national economy. Therefore, we will vigorously develop agriculture and strengthen the basic position of agriculture, which will not restrict the development of the secondary and tertiary industries, but will promote their further development. In the future, with the development of agriculture and the improvement of agricultural labor productivity, the proportion of agriculture in the national economy will decrease, which is only a decrease in relative numbers, and the absolute number will not decrease, but will also increase. The importance of agriculture to China and its important position will not be diluted at any time.
