There are four sectors in the agricultural field, including agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery industries.
Recently, with increasing attention paid to agriculture by Chinese government, industries of agriculture, forestry, stockbreeding and fishery step into rapid development period. Main primary products are increased quickly. Agriculture, forestry, stockbreeding and fishery industries show unprecedented development momentum.
In 2005, agriculture total production value reached 1.96134 trillion yuan, agriculture comprehensive produce capacity was improved stably. Above all, food produce capacity came back evidently. Food total output in 2005 was up to 484 million yuan, with an increase of 14.55 million ton compared with 38.77 ton growth of 2004. Food output per mu made a new record of 309.5 kilogram; secondly, main economic crops produce capacity was advanced substantially. During the tenth Five-year plan, average annual output of cotton was 5.42 million ton with an increase of 1.11 million compared with the ninth Five-year Plan, and the output per mu was increased 5.7 kilogram; average annual output of oil plants was 29.43 million ton with an increase of 4.96 million tons, and the output per mu was increased 12.7 kilogram. Average annual output of sugar plants was 95.22 million ton with an increase of 8.21 million ton, and the output per mu was increased 597.7 kilogram.
The agriculture and rural economic structure were optimized further. The high effective economic crops, stockbreeding, fishery keep rapid development, agriculture industrialization management advanced quickly, agricultural produce region layout were optimized, and embryonic form of the preponderance special primary products industry zone have emerged. During the tenth Five-year Plan, the annual growth of the primary products process industry production value was 15%, and the main product process transformation ratio was increased from 30% in 2000 to 45% in 2005. Added value of township enterprises in 2005 reached 5053.4 billion yuan with 13.3% annual increase and 86.1% growth compared with 2000. Land reclamation economy carried out rapid development with an annual production value growth of 11.2% which was doubled compared with that of Ninth Five-year plan.
Stockbreeding maintained rapid growth and stable development trend. In 2005, total production value reached 1.3 trillion yuan which accounts for 33.7% of agricultural total production value. Stockbreeding has become the supporting industry of Chinese agriculture and rural economy. In 2005, output of meat, eggs, milk was respectively 77.43 million ton, 28.8 ton and 28.65 ton, with respective growth of 26.4%、28.4% and 211.7% compared with that of 2000, and the annual growth for each industry was respective 4.8%、5.1% and 25.5%. In 2005, the appropriation per capita of meat, egg, and milk was respectively 59.2 kilogram、22 kilogram and 21.9 kilogram. And the output of meat and egg account for 29.3% and 44.5% of the global output, ranking the No.1 in the world. The milk industry was mounted by an increase more than 25%, becoming the shine in stockbreeding development, even the shine of agricultural and rural economic development.
Forestry industry made improvements. In 2005, the government finished key forestation project about 3.1 million hectare. The area of facilitate forestation by closing hill reached 2.38 million hectare. The government completed 36.163 billion yuan investment including 6.884 billion yuan national debt and 25.24 billion yuan central special fund which were account for 88.3% of the total investment, with an increase of 3.85 compared with 2004.
Fishery kept rapid development. During the tenth Five-year Plan, Chinese fishery maintained rapid and sound improvement and became important growth point in agriculture economy. In 2005, the total output of Chinese aquatic products reached 51.02 million ton, and the aquatic product per capita was 39.02 kilogram, consumption of protein in aquatic products occupied 1/3 of that in animal; total production value of fishery economy reached 761.9 billion yuan, fishery production value was 418.05 billion yuan , fishery added value reached 221.53 billion which accounting for 10% agricultural added value; national export value of aquatic product was 7.89 billion USD accounting for 30% of primary product export value; annual income of fish man was 5869 yuan, with an increase of 1140 yuan compared with the ninth Five-year Plan, and 2614 yuan higher than that of farmer. Fishery played an integral role in safeguarding national food safety, promoting farmers’ harvest and stable development of rural economy.
As to the foreign investment, agriculture, forestry, stockbreeding and fishery industries made use of 1058 foreign invested project, which accounts for 2.4% total foreign invested project. The contracted foreign investment was 3.8 billion USD accounts for 2.02% of total contracted foreign investment; the actual utilization of foreign investment was 718 million yuan accounting for 1.19% of total one. We can conclude that there was great potential in utilization of foreign investment of agriculture, forestry, stockbreeding and fishery industries.
