To accelerate the high-quality development of our city’s beef cattle industry, and in light of our city’s specific circumstances, this support policy has been formulated.
I. Support for the Development of a High-Quality Beef Cattle Breeding System
1. The municipal government will allocate 10 million yuan annually from the municipal budget, primarily for the introduction of superior beef cattle genetic resources, the breeding of high-quality sires, and the development of new Korqin beef cattle breeds.
2. Building upon the implementation of national and autonomous region subsidies for high-quality breeds, the municipal government will provide a supplementary subsidy to cover the difference in frozen semen production costs based on standards calculated by the agriculture and animal husbandry departments, ensuring the high-quality, sufficient, and free supply of subsidized frozen semen throughout the city.
3. The municipal government will provide a one-time reward of 100,000 yuan to farms designated as municipal-level beef cattle breeding core herds.
II. Supporting the Standardized and Scaled Development of Beef Cattle Farming
4. Agricultural and pastoral funds, including rural revitalization transition funds, shall focus on the beef cattle industry as a leading sector. Priority support will be given to the construction of large-scale breeding farms for cows and standardized fattening farms to promote standardized and large-scale beef cattle farming.
5. For farms and family ranches milking Horqin cattle, an additional subsidy of 200,000 yuan will be provided on top of the 300,000 yuan subsidy for the small and medium-sized farm upgrading and renovation project.
6. For local specialty dairy product workshops, cooperatives, and family farms that have obtained an Autonomous Region Food Production and Processing Small Workshop Registration Certificate and are undertaking standardization initiatives, an additional subsidy of 200,000 yuan will be provided on top of the 300,000 yuan subsidy for the Local Specialty Dairy Product Processing Standardization Pilot Project. For dairy product processing enterprises that have obtained SC certification and are undertaking standardization initiatives, an additional subsidy of 300,000 yuan will be provided on top of the 300,000 yuan subsidy for the Local Specialty Dairy Product Processing Standardization Pilot Project.
7. For beef cattle farms (households) purchasing machinery for automatic feeding, forage processing, manure treatment, and other related purposes, agricultural machinery subsidy policies shall be prioritized and implemented in accordance with regulations.
8. Support organic fertilizer processing enterprises in fully utilizing cattle manure to produce organic fertilizer. For existing and newly established enterprises, a one-time subsidy of 100,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan, or 300,000 yuan will be provided if their annual organic fertilizer processing capacity exceeds 50,000 tons, 100,000 tons, or 200,000 tons, respectively.

10. Beef cattle farmers (or farms) constructing forage storage sheds with a floor area of 200 square meters or more will receive a subsidy of up to 120 yuan per square meter, with a maximum subsidy of 1 million yuan per entity.
11. Prioritize support for local new-type business entities developing straw collection, storage, and processing. Entities with fixed-asset investments of 3 million yuan or more that achieve corresponding collection and storage scales and primarily supply local livestock farmers will receive a one-time reward of 200,000 yuan.
12. For newly introduced concentrated feed processing enterprises, all flags, counties, and districts shall provide support regarding site selection, project approval, and land use authorization.
IV. Supporting the Development of Leading Enterprises in Beef Cattle Deep Processing
13. For newly designated municipal, autonomous regional, and national-level key leading enterprises in agricultural and livestock industrialization, the municipal government will provide one-time rewards of 30,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan, and 300,000 yuan, respectively.
14. Vigorously attract beef cattle deep-processing enterprises and promote the release of production capacity based on actual conditions. Processing enterprises that slaughter more than 10,000 head of cattle will receive a subsidy of 100 yuan per head slaughtered, with the municipal and flag/county/district/city-level finances each bearing 50% of the cost. Interest subsidies will be provided for 50% of working capital loans taken out by beef cattle slaughtering enterprises, with the municipal and flag/county/district/city-level finances each bearing 50% of the cost.
15. Vigorously attract beef food processing and deep-processing projects for cattle by-products such as hides, bones, and offal. Processing enterprises with annual sales revenue exceeding 50 million yuan will receive a one-time reward equal to 50% of the additional local fiscal revenue generated by the enterprise in that year.
V. Supporting Brand Development Across the Entire Beef Cattle Industry Chain
16. Build the "Keerqin Cattle" regional public brand. Relying on the Kezuo Zhongqi (Beef Cattle) National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park, promote the integration of smart livestock farming chips to establish a full-lifecycle traceability system covering positioning, breeding improvement, diagnosis and treatment, disease prevention information, and origin information, thereby laying a solid foundation for enhancing brand strength.
17. For beef cattle-related Green Food products and Green Food production materials newly certified or renewed in the current year, the municipal government will provide a reward of 30,000 yuan per product, with a maximum reward of 100,000 yuan per entity.
18. For entities authorized to use the “Keerqin Cattle” agricultural product geographical indication mark (products must be sold with the mark and traceability code), the municipal government will provide a one-time reward of 30,000 yuan per entity.
19. Enterprises are encouraged to sell beef products online. Those achieving online sales of 10 million yuan or 20 million yuan will receive rewards of 100,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan, respectively.
VI. Support for the Development of the Beef Cattle Industry’s Cold Chain Logistics System
20. For small-scale cold storage facilities in the beef cattle industry, we will seek support from national and autonomous region agricultural and livestock product origin preservation and cold chain logistics facility construction projects. Support will be provided on a “build first, reimburse later” basis, with a subsidy of 300,000 yuan per cold storage facility, not exceeding 30% of the total approved construction cost.
21. For large-scale beef cattle industry cold storage and preservation facilities, support will be sought through national urban-rural cold chain logistics facility projects. The support standard shall not exceed 30% of the approved total investment for the cold chain facility project, with the maximum support amount not exceeding 50 million yuan.
VII. Support for Beef Cattle Insurance and Financial Innovation
22. Implement policy-based beef cattle insurance, with coverage extending across the entire life cycle of beef cattle, including breeding cows, fattening cattle, and calves.
23. The municipal government will contribute 20 million yuan to the “Assisted Guarantee Loan” fund pool for beef cattle slaughtering enterprises and will seek matching funds from the autonomous region’s “Assisted Guarantee Loan” program. By collaborating with banking institutions to leverage credit disbursements, we aim to establish a “Assisted Guarantee Loan” credit fund of 500 million yuan. Concurrently, through methods such as re-guarantees, joint guarantees, and the integration of guarantees with insurance, we will prioritize addressing the financing challenges faced by beef cattle slaughtering enterprises.
24. Through measures such as expanding the guarantee capacity of agricultural guarantee companies, strengthening supervision of the Agricultural Development Group’s movable property company, and developing smart agriculture and animal husbandry, we will encourage and guide financial institutions to launch financial products with high credit limits, low financing costs, and long loan terms that align with the beef cattle industry’s development cycle.Promote products such as “Huinong e-Loan” and “Feinou Loan,” and utilize models such as “insurance + finance” and “smart livestock farming” with live animal pledges to provide loan support primarily to fattening cattle farms (large-scale operators), beef cattle breeding enterprises, and specialized cooperatives.
25. Guide financial institutions providing microcredit to continue increasing support for eligible households that have escaped poverty and those at risk of falling back into poverty, adhering to the principles of maintaining existing support policies and unrelenting efforts. All financial institutions should, based on local conditions, promote microcredit for cattle farmers and joint guarantee loans for farmers, extensively develop live cattle pledge loan services, and reasonably determine loan amounts, repayment terms, and interest rates to expand credit coverage and increase loan volumes for ordinary cattle farmers.
VIII. Supporting the Expansion and Strengthening of the Beef Cattle Industry Fund
26. Increase support for the beef cattle industry fund. Through fund investments, attract social capital to participate in the development of the beef cattle industry, provide key support to leading enterprises along the industrial chain, and address funding shortages in areas such as slaughter, deep processing, cold-chain storage, and sales.
The above policies will remain in effect until the end of 2025 and will be implemented using a “build first, then receive subsidies” approach, with incentives replacing direct subsidies. If higher-level authorities issue corresponding policy measures, these policies may be optimized and adjusted in accordance with such measures.
