First, Yunfu's characteristic economy is very obvious. In the process of economic development, Yunfu, according to the requirements of the provincial party Committee to vigorously develop the county economy, proceeded from reality, took its own road and created its own characteristic economy, which is obvious. First, make use of Yunfu's resource advantages, vigorously attract investment, build industrial parks, and accelerate industrial development. You use resources to go to industry, create advantages around resources, create your own economic characteristics, create your own industrial brands, and form several major economic sectors and pillar industries. At present, stone, cement, rosin processing and chemical industry with sulfuric acid and titanium dioxide as the main industries have developed into a big industry. For example, Yunfu's stone industry has grown from small to large, from low to high, from single variety to diversification. At present, it has gathered stones from dozens of countries around the world to Yunfu for processing and sales, and has become a stone processing distribution center in Guangdong Province and even the whole country, which is remarkable. To develop industry, we must follow our own path in combination with reality. Compared with the Pearl River Delta, Yunfu has no location advantage in developing home appliances, electronics and other industries, but Yunfu has resource advantages. As long as it gives full play to its resource advantages and makes up for its lack of location advantages, it can also become rich. Therefore, I think it is a great feature for Yunfu to use resources for industry. Second, agricultural industrialization is very distinctive. There are more than 80 leading agricultural enterprises in Yunfu city, which has driven nearly 200 thousand farmers out of poverty and become rich, which is not simple. In particular, Wen's group has driven tens of thousands of farmers out of poverty and become rich through the development of animal husbandry, which has become a banner of agricultural industrialization in the province. There is also the development of sericulture industry promoted by the provincial silk company. Yunfu's agricultural industrialization is in the forefront of the province. I remember that the provincial agricultural industrialization work conference was held in Yunfu Xinxing in the mid-1990s. After nearly ten years' efforts, Yunfu's agricultural industrialization has reached a new level.
Second, Yunfu City pays attention to the construction of investment environment and improves its location conditions. Location conditions have a great influence on economic development, and the backwardness of mountainous areas is affected by many factors, of which remote geographical location is an important reason. In recent years, with the support of the provincial party committee, the provincial government and the provincial departments concerned, Yunfu has paid close attention to infrastructure construction, changed the location conditions and laid a good foundation for economic development. Expressway from Guangzhou to Yunfu has been opened, and the next step is to build expressway from Yunfu to Wuzhou, which is a golden road; And what you took me to see yesterday, preparing to build another highway along the Xijiang River. After the completion of this highway along the river, the golden waterway can be used to develop the economy and greatly enhance the location advantage. Yunfu's enterprises mainly produce resource-based products, and the market is in the Pearl River Delta. The transportation volume is very large. I am afraid that it is not competitive by road transportation alone. We should make full use of the shipping channel of Xijiang River and make full use of water transportation to make up for the lack of location. In addition to expressway and port terminals, transportation networks from cities to counties, counties to towns and towns to villages have been built. Lutong Caitong believes that great traffic will bring great development to Yunfu.
Third, the Yunfu Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government adhere to the people-oriented principle, and implement the "one guarantee and five difficulties" policy of the provincial party committee and the provincial government in place, and the work is very practical. Yunfu is a new city with limited financial resources. In this case, Yunfu still makes every effort to do a good job of "one guarantee and five difficulties". Two of them are very effective: First, you have overcome many difficulties and solved the problem of drinking water for180,000 people. Last year, the provincial party committee and government held a site meeting on the province's drinking water relief work here, which fully affirmed the work of Yunfu. Second, Yunfu's medical insurance and serious illness co-ordination work are in the forefront of the province, and the rural coverage rate reaches 9 1.2%. Not long ago, the provincial government also came to Yunfu for a live meeting. Solving the "one guarantee and five difficulties" in rural areas is the most concerned, urgent and needed problem for farmers. Other work is icing on the cake, and the work of "one guarantee and five difficulties" is a timely help. In Dayuan Village and Hongying Village, which we saw yesterday, more than ten kilometers of narrow paths from county to town and village have been paved with cement roads, which have brought great changes to the production and life of villagers. For example, after the road was repaired, the citrus production was developed, so that 20% of the farmers in the whole village bought transport vehicles. With the improvement of production conditions, farmers have become rich by planting, raising and processing. Last year, the per capita annual income of Dayuan Village reached 1 10,000 yuan. Some large households in Dayuan Village plant 300 mu of citrus, earning 5,000 yuan per mu, and the annual income reaches1500,000 yuan. It can be seen that no work is not rich, and farming is not necessarily poor. In such remote villages as Dayuan Village and Hongying Village, there are no huts or adobe houses at all, all of which are two-story brick houses and villas. The development of rural economy in mountainous areas depends on improving the production environment, developing production, selecting leading products, and solving the problems of training farmers and selling agricultural products through leading enterprises and establishing agricultural professional cooperative organizations and associations.
Fourthly, Yunfu pays attention to the construction of a harmonious society. At present, the whole Yunfu city is very stable and harmonious, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is inseparable from the fact that Yunfu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, while doing a good job in economic development, attach importance to building a harmonious society, adhere to people-oriented and harmonious development, actively investigate contradictions, especially implement the project of "vibrant democracy and sunny village affairs" in rural areas and promote democratic management in rural areas. The number of letters and visits in Yunfu is relatively small in the whole province, with fewer mass incidents and petitions, and the society is stable and peaceful.
Fifth, Yunfu City attaches great importance to the construction of teams at all levels, especially the construction of rural grassroots party organizations. Yunfu has closely combined the ongoing advanced education activities and "100 million" cadres' grass-roots activities in rural areas with the implementation of the "vibrant democracy, sunny village affairs" project, paid attention to pushing the focus of work down, and made great efforts to build grass-roots teams, and achieved good results. Hongying Village is a good example. Hongying village used to be a backward village, with backward economy and many contradictions. Later, the team building was emphasized, and the whole appearance changed greatly. Therefore, the end-result and foothold of all rural work is to do a good job in the construction of rural grassroots party organizations and the construction of town and village teams.
Of course, these achievements are inseparable from the strong support of the provincial party Committee, the provincial government and the relevant departments directly under the provincial government, but the most fundamental thing is the correct leadership, effective command and work in place of the two teams of Yunfu Party and Government. The guiding ideology of Yunfu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on economic and social development is clear, especially vigorously developing industry, because without industrial development, it is impossible to upgrade the economy and finance and fundamentally change the backward appearance of this area. Now, after the abolition of the agricultural tax, the financial growth can only rely on industry. Without industry, there will be no tax, no finance, no financial support, and it is difficult for the government to operate. Local governments mainly rely on actively developing the economy and cultivating tax sources to increase fiscal revenue. Yunfu also pays attention to protecting the ecological environment in the process of economic development, so it is proposed that industry should enter the park and develop recycling industry. In addition, the whole team is very solid, the work is in place, and everyone is really doing it. Political achievements are not spoken out, they fall from the sky, they are made. For example, to attract investment, we must do it one by one; To grasp the work of "one guarantee and five difficulties", we must go deep into the countryside and solve some problems in a down-to-earth way. Therefore, I think that why Yunfu can achieve these achievements ultimately comes down to the municipal party Committee and the municipal government. For the future development of Yunfu, I think we should increase five efforts.
First, we should intensify industrial development. In particular, efforts should be made to grasp large projects, including expressway, power plants and attracting large foreign-funded enterprises to invest in Yunfu. Vigorously develop industry while ensuring that the ecological environment is not damaged. Only when the industry comes up, can the total economic output come up, the tax revenue come up, and the financial life will be better. Although Yunfu has made gratifying achievements in economic development in recent years, as a prefecture-level city, it still appears that its finance is relatively weak. Yunfu's economic aggregate is only equivalent to the level of a town in the Pearl River Delta. Last year, Yunfu's GDP was just over 20 billion, which was not as good as Ronggui Town in Shunde. Ronggui Town has reached more than 30 billion, with a tax revenue of more than 3 billion. The GDP30 of a county in Yun 'an County is more than 3 billion or less, at least it should reach 100 billion, and the tax revenue should be more than 2 billion, so the financial life is easy. Therefore, Yunfu should further enhance its sense of urgency, emancipate its mind, renew its ideas, increase investment attraction and accelerate the pace of industrial development.
Second, we should intensify efforts to promote agricultural industrialization. In the final analysis, the problems of agriculture and farmers are the problems of agricultural leading enterprises. Supporting leading enterprises is equal to supporting agriculture, and supporting agriculture is equal to supporting farmers. In China, it is necessary to reduce farmers, but it is unrealistic to let all farmers go to cities to become workers. China is still a big agricultural country, with farmers as the main body, so we must intensify the efforts to promote agricultural industrialization. At present, the implementation of household production quotas and exclusive management plays a great role in improving farmers' enthusiasm, but it is weak to let single-family farmers break into the market. The key to promoting agricultural efficiency and increasing farmers' income is to improve the degree of organization of agricultural production, which is driven by leading enterprises. Leading enterprises themselves are the representatives of advanced productive forces, which concentrate several major elements of agricultural production, including science and technology, talents, capital, technology and market development, and are very competitive in the market economy. Driven by leading enterprises, farmers become the first workshop of leading enterprises. For example, Wen's Group can ensure that cooperative farmers have a fixed profit income. In addition to leading enterprises, there are agricultural professional cooperative organizations, such as the Citrus Association established in Dayuan Village, which has played a role in technical exchange and market development. Yunfu City should intensify the industrialization of agriculture, and cultivate and strengthen a number of leading agricultural enterprises like Wenshi Group. I once proposed to Wen's Group to achieve the goal of "Hundred Flowers", that is, the output value exceeds 100 billion yuan and the enterprise operation exceeds 100 years. It is hoped that the annual output value of Wenshi Group will exceed10 billion yuan during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period. A place must set some benchmarks and set up some flags so that everyone can learn from the example and catch up with the pacesetter.
Third, we should further intensify efforts to solve the "one guarantee and five difficulties". Yunfu has done a good job in this respect, especially in cooperative medical care and solving the problem of drinking water. However, at present, there are still more than 100 villages in Yunfu that have not realized the hard-bottoming of roads, and half of the renovation of dangerous houses has not been completed, and the work is still very difficult. Practice has proved that solving the problem of "one guarantee and five difficulties" in rural areas is the most fundamental and basic problem for farmers, especially the town and village highway construction, which is most welcomed by farmers. Therefore, the provincial government has increased the subsidy fund for town and village highway construction from the original10000 yuan per kilometer to150000 yuan, thus alleviating the pressure on the grassroots. If we do a solid job of "one guarantee and five difficulties" during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, it will be easy to build new countryside in various forms such as "civilized village" and "ecological village". If the road is blocked, the water can't be drunk, and there is no money for medical treatment, there will be no village. Yunfu should intensify its efforts during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period and continue to do this work well.
Fourth, we should strengthen the construction of investment environment. Yuncheng under construction to expressway in Wuzhou, as well as the ports and highways along the Yangtze River that you plan to build, are all big moves to improve the investment environment. We should earnestly implement them, change the weakness of the original location advantage and narrow the distance with the developed areas in our province. After the completion of expressway, which connects Qingyuan and Heyuan, many enterprises in the Pearl River Delta, especially some labor-intensive and land-intensive industries, moved there, and the local economic development changed greatly. It is a universal law that investors choose some places with lower costs to invest.
Fifth, strengthen the construction of teams at the town and village levels. We should continue to do a good job in the construction of grass-roots organizations, and increase support and assistance to relatively poor and backward areas, especially more than 400 villages with annual collective income below 30 thousand yuan in the city. Money is not everything, but you can't do anything without money. Without an economic foundation, the Party branch has no appeal, so it is necessary to develop the economy and make the Party branch rich. The masses definitely look at our party, our system and our leadership from the standpoint of personal interests. If they give them benefits, they will support you, and if they harm their interests, they will oppose you. It is necessary to build village grass-roots organizations with relatively weak economy and annual income less than 30 thousand yuan. In this regard, Heyuan City has recently taken a new measure, that is, to build an industrial park for poverty alleviation, and the administrative village will mobilize private entrepreneurs to donate money to the village for construction. If the enterprise donates150,000 yuan, the city and county levels will also subsidize150,000 yuan, totaling * * * 300,000 yuan, and then invest the money to build the industrial park. After the completion of the industrial park and the introduction of enterprises, the administrative village will collect rent for a certain period of 30 years, and this method will be used to solve the collective income of villages below 30 thousand yuan. This has two advantages: on the one hand, it solves the problem of difficult development of collective economy in administrative villages; On the other hand, it can raise a sum of money to build an industrial park, and it can also play a role in attracting investment. It is very difficult to run an industrial enterprise as an administrative village. The best way is to share shares in hydropower and share dividends, or build a shop to collect rent. Heyuan city was not built by the administrative village itself, but by the way of helping the poor in different places. The municipal party committee and the municipal government helped them to build it, and then they collected rent. You can also learn from this practice.
