Service capacity, efficiency, and technological content will be significantly enhanced, the service mechanism will be further improved, the modern agriculture socialized service system will become more convenient and efficient, and the supporting function for modern agriculture and the role of linking farmers will be significantly strengthened, better guiding smallholder farmers and the development of agricultural modernization.
The "Implementation Opinions" clarify that modern agricultural service centers are comprehensive platforms that rely on operational service entities such as farmer cooperatives and farmer cooperative unions. They aim to fill the service gaps in pre-production, in-production, and post-production stages of agriculture, coordinate the use of service resources, promote the iterative upgrading of agricultural socialized services, and provide integrated, one-stop services for smallholder farmers and other production and operation entities. This platform is endowed with four core functions: First, serving as a carrier for new agricultural productive forces by introducing advanced new agricultural varieties and promoting advanced agricultural technologies and equipment to accelerate the transformation from traditional to modern agriculture; Second, acting as a link to effectively connect smallholder farmers by coordinating the resource elements of service entities, enhancing service capabilities in weak links, and solving problems that individual households cannot handle, handle poorly, or find uneconomical to handle; Third, functioning as a new "one-stop" service complex for agricultural affairs, optimizing the allocation of operational service resources and providing integrated services for smallholder farmers and other entities covering pre-production, in-production, and post-production stages; Fourth, serving as a platform for the promotion and application of smart agriculture, deeply integrating service center construction with smart agriculture, using modern information technology to promote the scientific allocation and efficient use of service resources, and achieving informatization and intelligence throughout the entire agricultural production process.
According to the "Implementation Opinions," modern agricultural service centers must meet the service needs of surrounding smallholder farmers and other operating entities. The specific service capabilities cover ten aspects: First, centralized seedling cultivation (including seedlings), which involves equipping seeding production workshops, germination rooms, seedling facilities, and supporting equipment to provide unified seedling cultivation and supply services; Second, centralized procurement and distribution of agricultural materials, equipped with storage facilities and transport vehicles to provide centralized procurement and unified distribution of agricultural materials such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural film; Third, agricultural machinery storage and maintenance, equipped with machinery sheds, maintenance tools, and necessary spare parts to provide storage and maintenance services for agricultural machinery; Fourth, agricultural machinery operations, utilizing large-scale advanced agricultural machinery to provide services for the production of grain and oil crops such as corn, soybeans, rice, and wheat, as well as subsequent straw returning and removal operations; Fifth, agricultural technology services, equipped with soil and fertilizer testing equipment and efficient plant protection machinery to provide services such as soil testing and formula fertilization, unified pest control, field diagnosis, and technical consultation; Sixth, collection and treatment of agricultural waste, providing centralized collection and treatment services for crop straw, livestock and poultry manure, and discarded pesticide packaging; Seventh, grain drying, equipped with drying rooms and drying, cleaning, sorting, and conveying facilities to provide drying services primarily for grain and oil crops; Eighth, storage and preservation, equipped with low-temperature or cold storage facilities to provide services such as sorting, storage, preservation, and primary processing; Ninth, sales services, creating regional specialty brands, building bridges between production and sales, and carrying out brand marketing, promotion, and high-quality agricultural product production-sales matching; Tenth, farmer training, providing training on agricultural production and operation knowledge and skills for farmers and other operating entities within the region.
The "Implementation Opinions" also encourage modern agricultural service centers to build information management systems to achieve functions such as production data monitoring, agricultural machinery dispatch, and production-sales matching. It also supports providing convenient services through mobile phone ordering and other means to promote precise matching between service supply and demand.
