China News Service, Harbin, May 22 (Reporter Wang Nina) "In the countryside of Heilongjiang during the Xiaoman Festival, you can see thousands of acres of lush rice fields during the day, and at night you can hear the sound of frogs and watch the stars twinkling..." Heilongjiang Province Special News Release "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan" held on the 21st At the press conference, Cong Li, deputy governor of the People's Government of Heilongjiang Province, used a vivid pastoral picture to paint a beautiful picture of rural revitalization in Heilongjiang, and released the "blueprint" for comprehensively promoting agricultural and rural modernization during the province's "15th Five-Year Plan" period.
This year is the first year of the “15th Five-Year Plan”. As an important agricultural province in my country, Heilongjiang has delivered outstanding "report cards" during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. Cong Li introduced that in the past five years, Heilongjiang's rural industries have improved quality and efficiency. The scale of corn deep processing has ranked first in the country. It has taken the lead in promoting customized agriculture in the entire province. The regional agricultural brand "Black Soil Premium" has ranked 6th among the national regional agricultural brands. At the same time, the province has created 30 high-quality rural leisure tourism routes, and has held more than 2,100 "Dadi Liucai" village brand series activities, giving the countryside a completely new look and style.

Facing the "15th Five-Year Plan", Cong Li said that Heilongjiang will thoroughly study and apply the experience of the "Ten Million Project" to coordinate the integrated development of urban and rural areas, focusing on developing industries, optimizing space, and strengthening governance to accelerate the pace of agricultural and rural modernization.
Industrial revitalization is the top priority of rural revitalization. Cong Li revealed that Heilongjiang will implement a new round of high-quality development actions for the intensive processing of agricultural products, do a good job in value-added articles of "grain head and food tail, livestock head and meat tail, agricultural and industrial head and tail", and strive to rank first in the country in terms of processing level. In terms of animal husbandry, the leading industry of "two cows, one pig and one goose" will be strengthened and the position of the province as the largest producer of infant formula milk powder will be consolidated.
It is worth noting that Heilongjiang will rely on the ecological advantages of black soil in cold areas and more than 100 million acres of green organic base to promote "excellent black soil products" and "nine treasures and eighteen products" to be sold nationwide and overseas. In particular, high hopes are placed on the cold-water fish industry.
"Heilongjiang has three major rivers: Heilongjiang, Songhua River, and Wusuli River. They have excellent water quality and a cool climate. Cold-water fish are rich in umami amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids, which are delicious and nutritious." Cong Li said that the province will build a core production area for famous cold-water fish and turn "cold-water fish" into a "big industry."
In addition, special industries such as cold-land fruits and vegetables, cold-land dragon medicine, forest food, black fungus, and acanthopanax will also be developed simultaneously to build the country's largest acanthopanax production and marketing base.
In terms of optimizing the living environment, Heilongjiang will promote village planning in a classified and orderly manner, and will carry out regional rural revitalization pilots for three consecutive years from this year to create a number of pioneer areas for agricultural and rural modernization.
At the same time, the entire county promotes the construction of beautiful villages, carries out village cleaning and greening beautification actions on a regular basis, and achieves "smooth roads, clear ditches, clean courtyards, and beautiful villages" through micro-renovations and refined improvements. The integrated treatment of urban and rural garbage and sewage will also be promoted as a whole, and a long-term mechanism of mass participation, rewards in lieu of subsidies, and market-oriented operation and maintenance will be established. Environmental management and protection will be included in village rules and regulations to guide villagers to build a beautiful home together.
In terms of rural governance, Heilongjiang will promote "five-type empowerment" of industry, culture, services, rule of law, and digital, promote governance models such as "points system" and "list system" to improve the level of refinement. At the same time, we will thoroughly implement the civilized rural customs construction project, carry out the activities of "eliminating bad habits and establishing new customs", and deeply cultivate "literary and artistic beauty of the countryside", and organize "village name" mass cultural and sports activities such as village runs, village dances, and village evenings according to local conditions to create rural cultural IP with Longjiang characteristics.
Cong Li finally extended an invitation to friends across the country: "Welcome to experience the countryside of Longjiang and feel the majestic vitality of modern agriculture and the simple customs of the black soil." (End)
