The highly market-oriented circulation system has been gradually established and the supply of agricultural products has been greatly improved. However, the existing agricultural product market circulation system is not in line with the requirements of economic and social development and the growth of consumer demand.

We will promote the construction and transformation of national and regional key agricultural products wholesale markets, and continue to promote the construction of warehousing and logistics facilities for bulk agricultural products such as grain, cotton, oil and sugar; we must do a good job in the construction of non-profit-making markets. It is necessary to encourage qualified places to build wholesale and retail markets for non-profit agricultural products through methods such as investing in shares, replacing property rights, matching public facilities, and repurchasing leasebacks; they must pay attention to the establishment of initial processing facilities in production areas and support the collection of agricultural products from their producing areas. , processing, packaging, storage and other supporting facilities.

It is necessary to explore the establishment of a flexible and diverse mode of production and marketing of agricultural products that will effectively link production with consumption. To reduce the cost of agricultural product circulation. It is necessary to exempt the VAT of vegetable wholesale and retail, to carry out the verification and deduction of input tax for agricultural products, and to clear and reduce the policies for the wholesale markets of agricultural products, urban community markets, rural trade markets and supermarkets.

Improve the market regulation of agricultural products. Continuously strengthening and improving the construction of the agricultural product regulation and control system is an important guarantee for the stable and balanced supply of agricultural products. Accurately grasp the changes in domestic and foreign agricultural product markets, adopt targeted control measures to ensure the effective supply of main agricultural products and market stability, and maintain a reasonable price level.

We must support the supply and marketing cooperatives that have a nationwide business network, postal logistics, grain circulation, and large-scale commercial enterprises to participate in the construction and operation of agricultural product wholesale markets and warehousing and logistics systems. Support the supply and marketing cooperatives, farmer professional cooperatives, and other two-way distribution networks for the development of urban and rural markets. The focus should be on subsidizing the initial processing and storage facilities of farmers' professional cooperatives and improving their ability to deal with market risks.
