To thoroughly implement the directives of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council regarding the active development of the beef cattle industry and the revitalization of the dairy
industry, fully enhance the utilization of crop straw resources in our city, and promote
the high-quality development of the beef and dairy cattle industry, and in accordance with the “Notice of the General Office of the Henan Provincial People’s Government on Issuing
the Henan Provincial Beef and Dairy Cattle Industry Development Action Plan" (Yu Zheng Ban [2022]
No. 31), this Action Plan is hereby formulated.
I. General Requirements
(1) Guiding Principles. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era
, guided by the comprehensive implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, and with agricultural supply-side structural reform
as the main thrust, and focusing on converting crop straw into meat and milk, increasing farmers’ income, and upgrading the consumption structure,
and treating the development of the beef and dairy cattle industry as a key
key measures to revitalize rural industries and consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation. We will vigorously promote the regionalization of the beef and dairy cattle industry layout, the standardization of production, the
, industrial development, and green products, and strive to enhance quality, efficiency, and competitiveness
, and ensure the security of supply for key livestock products.
(2) Basic Principles.
———Adhere to the agricultural-livestock cycle. Vigorously promote the conversion and value-added processing of crop straw through livestock digestion, as well as the
manure for on-site and nearby application to farmland, promoting the transformation of waste into resources, the integration of crop and livestock production, and circular
.
———Adhere to large-scale farming. Promote standardized large-scale farming and develop new types of business entities such as specialized farmers’ cooperatives
cooperatives, family farms, and other new types of business entities, as well as village collective economic organizations, to strengthen the industrial foundation

—2— ———Adhere to the "household breeding, enterprise rearing, and leading enterprise-driven" and "large-scale farming, cluster development" industrial models, and cultivate
a group of leading industrial enterprises to enhance development vitality.
———Adhere to chain-based development. Focusing on shortcomings such as insufficient cattle and milk supplies and weak upstream-downstream linkages,
development bottlenecks, continuously extend, supplement, and strengthen the industrial chain to promote the integration of “breeding, farming, processing, and sales,” and achieve
the “three-chain integration” of industrial, value, and supply chains, and foster their integrated development.
———Adhere to farmer engagement and support. Guide farmers to participate in every link
and the entire value chain, ensuring that more jobs and value-added benefits remain within the county and are directed toward farmers
, and prioritize assistance for those who have escaped poverty and those under monitoring.
(3) Development Goals. By 2025, the city aims to have a cattle herd of 100,000
head, milk production to reach 20,000 tons, and the output value of the beef and dairy cattle primary sector to exceed 1 billion yuan.
By 2030, a modern industrial, production, and management system for beef and dairy cattle will be fully
, providing strong support for building our city into a model city for high-quality livestock development at a higher level
.
