The "Measures for Overall Management" requires that the national inter-provincial supplementary cultivated land planning should adhere to the principle that the balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation should be based on the county, the adjustment within the province should be based on the moderate national overall planning, and the scale of the national supplementary cultivated land planning should be reasonably controlled. It is necessary to adhere to the trinity protection of cultivated land quantity, quality and ecology, take the overall land use planning and related planning as the basis, and take land improvement and high-standard farmland construction as the main sources to ensure that the quantity and quality of supplementary cultivated land will not be reduced.

The Measures for Overall Management clearly stipulates that supplementary cultivated land should be coordinated nationwide according to the carrying capacity of resources and environment, the reserve resources of cultivated land, the land improvement potential of new cultivated land and the construction of high-standard farmland. Provinces and municipalities directly under the central government as a whole pay inter-provincial supplementary cultivated land funds, and the collection standard is determined according to the types of cultivated land occupied, grain production capacity, regional economic development level and other factors. The inter-provincial supplementary cultivated land funds collected are all used to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation and support the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

The Measures for the Administration of Transfer points out that the savings indicators linked to the increase or decrease of urban and rural construction land in deep poverty counties such as Tibet, Tibetan areas in four provinces, four prefectures in southern Xinjiang, Liangshan Prefecture in Sichuan, Nujiang Prefecture in Yunnan and Linxia Prefecture in Gansu Province are used by the state as a whole for cross-provincial transfer. The state assigns the task of adjustment, determines the standard of price adjustment, and unifies the income and expenditure of funds.

The Measures for the Administration of Transfer emphasizes the implementation of the strictest farmland protection system, land conservation system and ecological environment protection system, the transfer of surplus indicators across provinces, the strengthening of the overall land use plan and annual plan, and the maintenance of people's rights and interests and the order of the land market. Helping areas should put winning a comprehensive well-off society and achieving common prosperity in a more prominent position and implement the responsibility of helping. Deep poverty-stricken areas should grasp regional differences, pay attention to protecting historical culture and natural features, and implement reclamation according to local conditions.

The Measures for the Administration of Transfer proposes that the relevant departments should report to the State Council for approval according to the economic development, land use and poor population of the relevant provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and allocate the inter-provincial transfer balance indicators to the relevant provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). The Ministry of Finance raised funds to help the provinces adjust and allocated them to the provinces where the deep poverty areas are located. Adjust capital expenditure, and give priority to ensuring resettlement compensation, demolition and reclamation, infrastructure and public service facilities in deep poverty-stricken areas with savings indicators.

The Measures for the Administration of Transfer requires that if the inter-provincial transfer surplus index involves adjusting the planned amount of cultivated land and the scale of construction land, it is necessary to do a good job in household registration management in time and make overall plans in the new round of overall land use planning.
