In 2023, Shigatse will build 259300 mu of high standard farmland (89600 mu newly built and 169700 mu upgraded), with a total investment of about 578 million yuan. By the end of October, the progress of the city's high standard farmland construction projects in 2023 had reached 87.76%, with a total direct fund of about 537 million yuan and an expenditure rate of 67.97%. Both the construction progress and the direct fund expenditure rate rank first in the region.

Since the implementation of the work relief project for high standard farmland construction, the agricultural and rural departments at all levels in Shigatse City, in combination with the local reality, have handed over the bid section of less than 4 million to the qualified, reputable, responsible and capable local farmers and herdsmen construction teams (cooperatives) for implementation, and strive to achieve the "double harvest" goal of promoting farmers and herdsmen to increase their income and become rich and maintaining food security. After completion, the agricultural production conditions in the high standard farmland project area have been greatly improved, the quality of cultivated land has been further improved, the ability of farmland to resist disasters and reduce disasters, and the ability of drought and flood to ensure income has been significantly enhanced, and the grain yield per unit area has been gradually improved. 233600 mu of soil was improved, 412400 mu of irrigation area was increased and improved, and the coverage rate of highland barley varieties in the city reached 96.46%. At the same time, the irrigation, drainage and transportation system of high standard farmland has been improved, which has promoted the large-scale operation and mechanized development of land, and promoted the cost saving and efficiency increase of agriculture by saving labor, fertilizer, pesticide and other inputs and increasing comprehensive income. The level of agricultural mechanization in Shigatse has been raised to more than 72%, effectively reducing the cost of field operations, and the link of "tillage, planting and harvesting" has been reduced by 5 to 6 working days compared with traditional operations. By providing work for relief, farmers and herdsmen were allowed to participate in employment and machinery leasing without leaving their hometown, which increased the income of new business entities and broadened the channels for farmers and herdsmen to increase their income. In addition, the newly increased cultivated land for project construction will be allocated to the village collective, which can increase the collective economic income by means of leasing, shareholding, etc.

Since the end of 2022, the agricultural and rural departments at the city and county levels of Shigatse have comprehensively carried out the "ecological field" action, firmly establishing and practicing the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" and "ice and snow are also golden mountains and silver mountains" from the aspects of strengthening the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution, promoting the protection of agricultural and rural ecological environment, and increasing policy publicity. In 2023, 8 counties and districts, including Sangzhuzi District, Jiangzi County and Lazi County, will take the opportunity of high standard farmland construction projects in 2023 to invest about 200 million yuan in water conservancy projects, which is expected to solve the irrigation area of more than 180000 mu. At the same time, during the construction of high standard farmland projects, water-saving irrigation technology has been widely promoted, and the utilization rate of water resources has generally increased from less than 40% to more than 50%.

Shigatse City vigorously carries out the "four new" demonstration of new varieties, new technologies, new models, and new mechanisms around the direction of improving the yield per unit area, improving the quality, enhancing the resistance, and leading the demonstration of highland barley crops. In 2023, Beidahuang Group will continue to transfer 577 mu of highland barley planting area in Shigatse City, accelerate the integrated demonstration and promotion of modern agricultural technology, and the demonstration will drive the overall improvement of the standardization level of highland barley planting. All counties and districts, according to local conditions, extensively mobilize and absorb local people to participate in high standard farmland construction projects, demonstrate and promote "party building in the field", publicize and educate farmers and herdsmen to guide them to know "where the benefits are and where they come from", and further enhance the confidence and determination of farmers and herdsmen to listen to the Party's words, feel the Party's gratitude, and follow the Party. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of farmland fragmentation in Shangou Village, Shigatse City implements continuous planting according to the land quality grade, takes overall consideration of resource integration, capacity to cope with natural disasters, appropriate scale planting of land and other issues, thus effectively improving the recognition and acceptance of the masses.
