The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China puts forward the implementation of the strategy of rural revitalization. The state has made a series of plans and proposed the development direction for the development of new agricultural business entities， which has raised higher requirements and brought more opportunities for the financial institutions serving agriculture. As a major agricultural province， Hunan Province has attached great importance to the development of new agricultural business entities over the years， and has repeatedly issued policies on financial services for new agricultural business entities. However， at present， the development of rural financial market in Hunan Province is unbalanced， the financial needs of new agricultural business entities have not been met， and financing is difficult and expensive， which restricts the further development of new agricultural business entities. In view of this， this paper analyzes the financing problems based on the current situation of the new agricultural business entities in Hunan Province， in order to promote the upgrading of agricultural industrialization in Hunan Province， promote the development of "agriculture， rural areas and farmers"， promote the integration of primary， secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas， and fully promote the revitalization of rural areas.

Status of New Agricultural Business Entities in Hunan Province

Development Status of New Agricultural Business Entities in Hunan Province

The type and scale of the new agricultural business entities in Hunan Province are increasing gradually. At the end of 2016， there were 65，900 agricultural businesses units in Hunan Province， according to the third agricultural census. There are 30，600 farmers' cooperatives registered in the general survey of agriculture that mainly engaged in agricultural production and operation or provide services， 122，100 large-scale agricultural households， and 17.2333 million people engaged in agricultural production and operation. Specifically， agricultural business units such as family farms and agricultural enterprises have become the main body of rapid growth. At the end of 2016， the number of agricultural business units such as family farms and agricultural enterprises increased by 3.6 times compared with the end of 2006. With the rapid development of leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization， 46 national key leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization have emerged， including Yuan Longping Agricultural High-Tech Co.， Ltd. and Hongxing Industrial Group Co.， Ltd. In 2019， the Farmers Daily published the "Top 500 Leading Enterprises in Agricultural Industrialization in 2019"， with a total of eight enterprises from Hunan Province were listed， including Tangrenshen Group， Hunan Dakang International Agricultural Food Co.， Ltd.， and Daodaoquan Grain and Oil Co.， Ltd. Yuan Longping Agricultural High-Tech Co.， Ltd. and Jin Jian Rice Industry Co.， Ltd. are ranked 38， 44， 147， 154， and 176 respectively. Practice has proved that the better the development of new agricultural business entities， the faster the farmers' income will increase.

The operation methods of new agricultural business entities have been continuously enriched， and the cooperation content and industrial chain have gradually expanded. For example， some cooperatives with better operating efficiency have established an industrialized management system， publicized their own brands， cooperated with communities and supermarkets directly， and increased sales and scale. A variety of development models based on "cooperatives + large households + leading enterprises"， "companies （associations） + geographical indications + agricultural cooperatives + farmers"， and service systems such as mutual fund assistance and land banking have emerged.

Risk of Agricultural Product Mortgage

Although financial institutions have been exploring mortgage loans for agricultural products in recent years， due to the difference between mortgage loans for agricultural products and other fixed assets， the price of fixed assets is relatively stable， while the price stability of agricultural products is weak， which is more susceptible to the influence of market， natural environment and other factors. It is relatively difficult to evaluate the market value of agricultural products. Using agricultural products as collateral for loans requires greater risks for financial institutions.

Cross-border Integration of Finance and Agriculture is not Targeted

Agricultural related financial institutions have not designed special financial products for the new agricultural business entities， and cannot cover all kinds of rural assets， such as agricultural machinery， forest rights， and expected income financing and other related financial product design. As a result， the effective property rights of the new agricultural business entities are sleeping， and cannot be turned into development funds. In addition， the financial products that have been launched do not match the financing needs of the new agricultural business entities in terms of practicality， which leads to the financing difficulty of the new agricultural business entities have not been really solved.

Risk Mitigation Mechanism is not Established

At present， our financing is still in the stage of independent risk-taking by financial institutions， mortgage guarantee financing is still pawnbroker financing， and it is difficult to realize， so the loans have greater risks. The government financing risk? guarantee system， the agricultural guarantee system and the new insurance system have not been established， and the market-oriented risk mitigation mechanism has not been formed， and it is difficult to control the risk of rural credit funds.

Countermeasures to Solve the Financing Problems of New Agricultural Business Entities

Strengthen the Management of Agricultural Business Entities

The agricultural department shall issue normative documents such as the identification standard of new agricultural business entities， financial management guidance， rating and grading method， guide the new agricultural business entities， establish relevant rules and regulations， standardized financial accounting system， operation and management system， improve the standardization degree and management level， so as to improve the transparency of its own operation and the recognition degree of financial institutions. The development and reform department should establish a social comprehensive evaluation system for the new agricultural business entities， carry out a comprehensive credit evaluation for the new agricultural business entities， determine the credit rating of the new agricultural business entities， and take it as an important financing index. At the same time， we should give full play to the social advantages of rural acquaintances， and carry out three-level credit evaluation and supervision activities for the new agricultural business entities， including townships， villages and groups， with the evaluation results as a reference factor for financing.We will strengthen the management of new agricultural business entities from the perspectives of government， society and folk， and increase the recognition of financial institutions.

Building the Risk Assessment System of Agricultural Product Mortgage

Because agricultural products have the characteristics of large price fluctuations and easy deterioration， financial institutions bear greater risks in the process of evaluation and loan. Government departments can cooperate with financial institutions to promote the construction of mortgage risk evaluation system for agricultural products. For example， we should promote the establishment of agricultural product insurance system by means of financial subsidy policy， expanding the varieties of agricultural product insurance， and establish risk sharing mechanism for rural financial institutions.

Tailor-made Financial Products

According to the characteristics of different types of new agricultural business entities， financial products are tailored to provide accurate financing services for new agricultural business entities. In view of the lack of suitable collateral for the new agricultural business entities， we should reform the existing model of pledge and mortgage and carry out multi-channel asset mortgage loans such as land management right mortgage loans， agricultural housing mortgage loans and agricultural facilities mortgage loans. Giving full play to the role of provincial agricultural guarantee companies and carry out all kinds of guarantee financing. Building a market-oriented financing mode of cross-border integration of government， insurance， futures， order， guarantee and financial elements， and mitigate financing risks by market-oriented means. Expanding the scope of credit and credit guarantee financing for new agricultural business entities.

Vigorously Develop the Rural Insurance Industry

We will promote the expansion of agricultural insurance coverage， product additions and tender proposals， and develop insurance products that meet the needs of new agricultural business entities in light of regional agricultural characteristics. Carrying out agricultural disaster insurance varieties such as breeding industry， agricultural disaster， forest fire， cost insurance of edible fungus， etc.， to ensure that the production costs of all kinds of agricultural business entities will not be lost. Actively carrying out the price index insurance of major agricultural products such as corn， rice， pig and egg， i.e. reinsurance business of insurance + futures， so as to ensure that the income of agricultural production entities will not be reduced due to price fluctuations. Piloting to carry out the expected income insurance of agricultural products and realize the expected income of agricultural business subjects. We will comprehensively improve the security level of new agricultural business entities， change the weak image of high-risk and high-risk agriculture， and make agriculture no longer a loss making industry but a leading industry.
