1999年上半年,我国农业和农村经济呈现出稳定发展的态势,开局好于上年。夏季粮油获得丰收,种植结构趋于优化;乡镇企业稳步发展,经济效益比上年同期有所回升;农村居民现金收入实现较快增长。但是,在当前的农村经济运行中,也存在着市场低迷、消费增长不快和农产品价格下降等问题。 In the first half of 1999, the agriculture and rural economy in our country showed a steady development, which was better than the previous year. The harvest of grain and oil in the summer has been bumper, and the planting structure tends to be optimized. The township and village enterprises have been developing steadily and the economic returns have risen over the same period of last year. The cash income of rural residents has increased rapidly. However, in the current rural economy, there are also some problems such as the downturn in the market, the unpleasant growth in consumption and the drop in the prices of agricultural products.
