As the country becomes increasingly urbanized, lots of rural residents have migrated to cities, leaving their farmland unattended. There has been growing demand from rural residents to be able to officially transfer their idle farmland.
Meanwhile, rural cooperatives and large agricultural firms are trying to pool more land, and technological improvement facilitates intensive and large-scale production.
More than 30 percent of rural households have transferred their contracted land, totaling 31.93 million hectares, according to Liu.
"The bill is trying to incorporate the latest rural land policies and effective practice," he said.
STABLE LAND CONTRACTS
Stressing that the state protects the stability and consistency of rural land contracts, the draft revision says that upon expiration, the current round of contracts will be extended for a further 30 years.
The bill removes an article that forces contractors to end the contract and return the land to the village when they migrate to cities and change their household registration from rural to urban.
It should be rural residents that decide whether to continue to contract the land, rather than being decided for them, Liu said.
The bill aims to leave enough room for testing policies that encourage former rural residents to transfer the contract right, he added.
It also further clarifies that all household members, including women, have the right to contract the land.
