Six Departments Issue Rural Revitalization Investment Mechanism Plan

Six departments jointly issued the Implementation Plan for Upholding the Priority of Agriculture and Rural Development and Improving the Rural Revitalization Investment Mechanism, calling for continued increases in funding for agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Since the rural revitalization strategy was launched, the state has introduced a series of measures to improve diversified investment, with public finance giving priority to agriculture, rural areas and farmers. In 2025, national fiscal spending on agriculture, forestry and water affairs reached RMB 2.35 trillion, and the share of land transfer revenue used for agriculture and rural areas has been rising. The plan addresses questions in work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers, including where people will go, how land will be farmed, and where money will come from.

In financial support for agriculture, rural financial institutions are being pushed to return to their core functions, financial institutions are extending services to rural areas, major banks have generally set up internal units serving rural revitalization, and the scale of agriculture-related loans has continued to grow. On social capital participation, documents have been issued to specify key industries and fields in which social capital investment is encouraged. In 2025, private fixed-asset investment in the primary industry reached RMB 526.4 billion, accounting for 55% of fixed-asset investment in the primary industry.

China's agricultural support and protection system consists of price policies, subsidy policies and insurance policies. Price policies mainly target grain, the reform of subsidy policies is oriented toward greater compliance with relevant World Trade Organization rules, and insurance policies play a role in risk sharing, loss compensation and credit enhancement. In the beef cattle industry, the Ministry of Commerce has imposed safeguard measures on imported beef, changing supply and demand conditions, and the enthusiasm of various entities to invest in beef cattle farming has increased.
