Sichuan Huaying Yang and town "home appliances to the countryside" product fairs crowded. Xinhua News agency, Yancheng District, Leihe, Henan Province, Pei town farmer Li Yaohui, recently busy preparing son's marriage, color TV, fridge, mobile phone, computer ...  Make a list and buy a lot of it. However, Li Yaohui is not too worried about the problem of money, "2009 years of income increased a lot, and is catching up with home appliances to the countryside, the price concessions a lot, can save a lot of money."  Like Li Yaohui, there are not a few farmers who have opened their wallets. 2009, rural consumption continued to grow.  The Ministry of Commerce estimates that China's rural consumption in 2009 will reach 4 trillion yuan, an increase of about 15.5% per cent, the first year of rural consumption growth faster than the city.    China's rural consumer market, which has sustained growth, has become a new bright spot for China to expand domestic demand, and its contribution to economic growth has increased markedly.  Policy-driven "want to spend money" the Ministry of Commerce spokesman Yao Jian said that the rapid growth of rural consumer market, "mainly benefited from the rural circulation infrastructure significantly improved, home appliances, cars to the countryside and other policies to promote rural consumption potential to be released."  In the 2009 national stimulus package to stimulate consumption, home appliances to the countryside, motorcycles to the countryside, such as a series of "countryside" project opened the rural market for rural consumption injected vitality. The latest data show that 2009 year, home appliances to the countryside electrical sales of nearly 90 million units, sales of up to 160 billion yuan, a large number of farmers benefited from it. Car motorcycles to the countryside also brought new changes to the rural transportation market.  Ministry of Commerce statistics show that 2009 1-November, the country subsidized the countryside motorcycle 4.19 million vehicles, the payment subsidy fund 6.1 billion yuan. With the same step of policy pulling, the further improvement of circulation network has played a positive role in expanding rural consumption.  In the past year, the Ministry of Commerce has been actively carrying out thousands of villages, double hundred projects, agricultural super docking projects, improve the rural circulation network system, promote the circulation of agricultural products. Li Yaohui to this deep experience: "Now the countryside to buy things more and more convenient, from YOUYANJIANGCU, brand-name clothing to mobile phones, computers, out of the door can buy, no longer have to sit a few hours of the car to the city." "Income increase" dare to spend Money "2009 The happy event of the home can be a lot of food sold a good price, go out to work the son also earned more than 55,000 yuan back.  Li Yaohui said, the income increases, the natural dare to spend money. Income is more than Li Yaohui.  2009, the country's rural per capita income first breakthrough 5000 yuan Mark, the actual increase of more than 6%, farmers income has been 6 consecutive years to more than 6% increase.  The income of the year steadily increased, in order to expand the growth of rural consumption provides a solid foundation, "money bag" drum up, consumption also has a "emboldened." The steady income of farmers benefited from a series of policies to increase farmers ' income and to take less in the past few years, from exemption of agricultural taxes to direct food supplements, subsidies from agricultural machinery to buy food from the government.These have become an important impetus for farmers to increase income. Taking the purchase of food as an example, in order to increase the farmers ' income, 2009 the country again significantly increase the level of wheat and paddy minimum purchase price, increase the state temporary storage power.  According to preliminary estimates, the implementation of this series of policies to stimulate market prices rebound, promote farmers to increase the income of more than 40 billion yuan. The income of migrant workers is an important part of farmers ' income. At the beginning of 2009, a series of policy measures to promote the transfer of employment of rural labors were made.  According to statistics of the National Statistical Bureau, in the first three quarters of last year, the total number of migrant workers across the country reached 151.98 million, up from the end of 2008 to 11.57 million, and the average monthly income of migrant workers increased to 1444 yuan in the third quarter.    Expert analysis, compared with urban residents, as a result of relatively few purchases of property, farmers to obtain income into the proportion of consumption is also relatively high, therefore, the increase in income for the consumption of the pull effect is more obvious. Adequate supply "will spend money" rural is the largest domestic demand market.  "Zheng, deputy dean of the School of Agriculture and Rural Development, Renmin University of China.  Expert analysis, at present, rural consumption has entered a rapid growth stage, the consumption structure is gradually in the survival from subsistence to well-off type of transformation and upgrading stage, automobile, home appliances, mobile phones and other high-end consumer goods are becoming the rural consumption hotspot. The Central Rural Working Conference, convened at the end of 2009, also proposed to expand rural demand as a key measure to boost domestic demand.  Home appliances to the countryside, cars and motorcycles to the countryside and other policies will not only continue, but also a further improvement and improvement. According to Yao, 2010 home appliances to the countryside, the maximum price will be increased by 25%-100%, of which color TV and mobile phone products, the maximum price increase will reach 100%, which means that farmers can pass this adjustment, get the highest price ratio, the amount of subsidy can be further improved.  Local can also be used to co-opt 1 varieties into the scope of subsidy.  The policy of car-going to the countryside will be extended to the end of 2010, and the policy of motorcycle going to the countryside will be implemented until January 31, 2013. In addition, the Ministry of Commerce also said that 2010, will be 100,000 new "million Village Thousand Villages" farm shop, accelerate the construction of commodity distribution center.  In combination with the "Farmer One Card" project carried out by ABC, an electronic payment network is set up in "Thousand Villages Village" farm shop to facilitate farmers ' consumption. "The consumer market is expected to continue to maintain a steady and rapid development trend this year." "said Yao. (Zhang Yixuan Zheng)
