The annual Central Conference on Rural Work was held in Beijing to set priorities for agriculture and rural development in 2026. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, President of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, issued clear guidelines for the coming period.
The year 2026 opens the 15th Five-Year Plan and Xi said it is crucial to focus on agricultural and rural modernisation, consistently promote rural revitalisation and push for the interconnected development of cities and villages.
Farmers can expect increased support for grain production and more effective policies to strengthen agriculture, improve the living conditions of rural populations and enrich rural areas. The conference set out a framework for practical steps to ensure the sustainable development of China's rural areas in the coming years.
