农业是国民经济中社会效益高而自身效益低的产业。无论在商品市场的竞争中，还是在经济资源的竞争中，农业常常处于软弱和不利的地位。在实行社会主义市场经济的新形势下，我国农村经济发展中出现许多新矛盾、新问题，必须引起我们高度重视。一是农民收入增长困难，差距拉大。 Agriculture is an industry with high social benefits and low self-efficiency in the national economy. Agriculture is often in a weak and disadvantageous position in the competition of commodity markets or in the competition for economic resources. Under the new situation of implementing the socialist market economy, many new contradictions and new problems that have emerged in the development of China’s rural economy must arouse our attention. First, farmers’ income growth is difficult and the gap widens.
