China's agricultural policies have demonstrated remarkable consistency, underscoring the country's commitment to advancing rural development, Carlos Aldeco, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) China representative, told China Global Television Network (CGTN) in a recent interview.
China, the world's largest developing country and a global leader in agricultural development, has been dedicated to safeguarding food security, Alder said, highlighting the focus of China's annual "No. 1 central documents," the first policy statement released by China's central authorities each year, on agricultural development.
"I think China has put in place very interesting policies to promote agricultural development. The No.1 Documents issued by the central government have been highlighting topics related to farmers, agriculture, and rural development for more than 20 years. This highlights the consistency in China's agriculture policies over decades and also shows the systematic approach that China has to advance rural development," said Aldeco.
Aldeco also highlighted China's strong investment in the agricultural sector, which is a driving force behind the sector's growth and underpins the implementation of policies.
"Most importantly, this consistency in China's agricultural policy-making is coupled with targeted investments which reinforced those policies, accelerating China's development in the agricultural sector," said Aldeco.
