The State Council, or China's cabinet, on Wednesday announced a range of measures intended to cut logistics costs and improve efficiency.
Â
The measures include cheaper electricity and water use for those in the agricultural products' processing and circulation sectors and lower administration fees at farm produce markets.
Â
The measures were unveiled at a State Council executive meeting, chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao.
Â
The meeting agreed to crack down on illegal charges foisted on suppliers by some major retailers and vowed to intensify price monitoring.
Â
It also promised to ensure land supplies for building farm produce markets, improve the statistical system of logistics costs and introduce preferential tax policies for the sector.
Â
In the first 11 months, China's logistics expenditure rose 11.9 percent from one year earlier to 8 trillion yuan (1.27 trillion U.S. dollars), according to statistics released Wednesday by the National Development and Reform Commission.
Â
The State Council meeting also approved a draft regulation regarding the administration of credit industry.
