Coordination and Deepening of Agricultural Development in Yangtze River Economic Belt

The “new normal” of economic development needs to find more development impetus from “endogenous” factors, and one of the so-called “endogenous” development logic is cooperation. It is the fundamental demand and objective of the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to form mutual dynamic development interaction with the help of certain resource dependence. It was agreed by most experts that it is the right time to vigorously promote the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt under the background of the “new normal”. In terms of regional cooperation, all provinces and cities shall carry out scientific industry positioning and establish economic cooperation mechanism with common interests as the link; in terms of development path, the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt shall be jointly promoted from the aspects of urban-rural integration, innovation driven, modern logistics, and river basin development; in terms of exploration and innovation, provinces and cities shall formulate targeted development policies according to the actual situation to realize the regional overall promotion in the exploration of differentiation path; in the aspect of development drive, the national level shall give active policy support to provide reliable institutional guarantee for the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. In this process, agriculture is the top priority. The natural environment and agricultural development level with large internal differences are not only one of the short boards of agricultural coordinated development, but also an important space for future development. The development of agriculture in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is confronting both challenges and opportunities.
