In recent years， the comprehensive reform in the national supply and marketing cooperative system is deepening， and a great deal of work has been done in promoting the development of modern agriculture， increasing farmers’ incomes， and integrating urban and rural development.
President Xi stressed that Party committees and governments at all levels should further improve the supply and marketing cooperative system centering on speeding up the modernization of agriculture and rural areas and consolidating the Party’s governance foundation in rural areas.
Xi urged the country’s supply and marketing cooperatives to stay true to their fundamental purpose of serving agriculture， rural areas， and rural people， to keep advancing reform and innovation， and to contribute to the advancement of rural revitalization.
