The latest policy on grain subsidies in 2022: What are the subsidy standards in different regions?

Grain subsidies are subsidies provided by the state to farmers who grow crops, not subsidies to farmers who own land. Grain subsidies have nothing to do with land contracting. As long as you plant the land, regardless of whether the land is contracted by you, the state will only subsidize the growers of the land. So, what is the latest policy on food subsidies in 2022? What are the subsidy standards in different places?

1. The latest policy on food subsidies in 2022

Recently, in accordance with the decision and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the central government has allocated 20 billion yuan to provide a one-time subsidy to farmers who actually grow grain, in order to alleviate the impact of increased grain expenditure caused by rising agricultural inputs prices, stabilize farmers' income, and mobilize farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain. In order to maintain policy continuity, improve policy accuracy, and facilitate local operations and implementation, the subsidy distribution this time will continue the relevant policy implementation method in 2021.

1. Subsidy recipients

The subsidy recipients are actual grain-growing farmers, including farmers who grow grain on their own contracted land, as well as large households that transfer land to grow grain, family farms, farmers' cooperatives, agricultural enterprises and other new agricultural operators. For those who provide socialized services throughout the entire process of grain planting, cultivation and harvesting, the local government can determine the recipients of subsidies based on the contract (agreement) between the two parties to the service and actual conditions. In principle, subsidies should be provided to those who mainly bear the costs of rising agricultural inputs prices.

2. Subsidy Standards

The subsidy standards shall be determined by each region based on relevant circumstances. In principle, the subsidy standards within the county should be unified. The distribution method will be further improved by each region based on the relevant work in 2021 and in light of actual conditions. It is necessary to disclose subsidy information in accordance with laws and regulations, and adopt a one-card (discount) pass method to promptly distribute subsidy funds to actual grain-growing farmers.
