Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Development of Producer Services to Promote Industrial Restructuring and Upgrade
Guo Fa [2014] No.26
July 28, 2014
The people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government as well as all ministries and commissions of, and all institutions directly under, the State Council:
The State Council pays high attention to the development of service industry. The State Council has issued several guiding opinions on the development of consumer services in terms of family, retirement life, health and culture creativity over the past few years, and the scale and quality levels of service supply increase distinctly. Meanwhile, given the highlighted problems of the producer services such as the relatively laggard development, low level and unreasonable structure, the development of the producer services needs to be accelerated imperatively. The highly specialized, innovative and active producer services involving various links of agriculture and industry and with high degree of product fusion and outstanding driving effect are the strategic superiorities in global industry competition. Accelerating the development of producer services, a vital measure to adjust the industrial structure so as to promote the stable economic growth, will not only effectively motivate the potential domestic demand, drive and enlarge the social employment, and continuously improve people's livelihood, but also facilitate and lead the industry upgrading towards the high-end value chain. To accelerate the development of producer services in key fields and further promote the industrial restructuring and upgrade, the following opinions are hereby given:

We shall adapt to the development tendency of new industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics, deeply implement the overall strategy of regional development and the strategy of major function oriented zoning, and guide the gathering of producer services at central cities, manufacturing industry concentration regions, industrial base of modern agriculture and qualified cities and towns according to local conditions to realize economies of scale and characteristic development.
Article 2 Development orientation
Oriented by the demands of industrial restructuring and upgrade, we shall further accelerate the development of producer services and promote the step-by-step transformation of China's industry from production-manufacturing orientation to manufacturing-service orientation by guiding the enterprise to further break the pattern of "large and all inclusive" and "small and comprehensive", separate and outsource the non-core business, and extend to the high-end value chain.
1. Encourage the enterprises to develop towards the high-end value chain
The agricultural enterprises and the agriculture-related service institutions are encouraged to speed up the development of modern seed industry and perfect the circulation system of agricultural and sideline products by focusing on improving the ability of technological innovation and popularization and application.
