BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Wednesday China's economy is at a critical moment as it begins to recover "steadily".
Wen told an executive meeting of the State Council, China's Cabinet, that economic performance had started to show positive changes, favorable factors were increasing, the overall situation had stabilized and was moving upwards.
He said the government should continue a pro-active fiscal policy and moderately relaxed monetary policy.
Investment growth kept accelerating, consumption maintained a rapid and steady increase, and domestic demand played a stronger role in boosting economic growth, said Wen.
Agricultural and industrial production grew, and regional coordinated development was making progress, said Wen.
The financial market was stable, and investor confidence stronger. Urban employment kept rising, and reconstruction of areas affected by last year's May 12 earthquake was speeding up, said Wen.
Government measures to fight the global economic crisis proved correct and effective, and should continue to be implemented and improved according to the changing situation, he said.
But it should also be noted that the foundation for economic recovery was not stable and many uncertainties remained, said Wen, citing sluggish exports, the fiscal deficit and trade protectionism.
Wen called for clear-headed judgment and readiness for difficulties and complexities that might occur in the long term.
He urged local governments to further promote economic restructuring, guarantee the stable development of agriculture, encourage technological innovation and work to enhance energy conservation and environmental protection.
Comprehensive efforts should be made to boost domestic demand to power economic growth, Wen said, singling out such measures as subsidies for home appliances and automobiles in rural areas.
Housing consumption should be properly guided and the stable, healthy development of the property market should be ensured, said Wen, adding that tourism, entertainment and cultural consumption should be developed.
Central government-invested programs should be carefully carried out, while private investment should be expanded, said Wen.
He also highlighted the importance of the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, called for the further deepening of reform and opening up and the building of social insurance systems.

* Amara ties up with New China Trust
* Looking at individual investments up to $200 mln
* Eyes agriculture, utility, consumer staples opportunities
By John Irish
DUBAI, June 11 (Reuters) - Dubai-based Amara Holdings is eyeing investments in China each worth up to $200 million over the next 12 months, the latest Gulf Arab investor looking to tap opportunities in the world's most populous nation.
Amara, a sharia-compliant investment firm, said late on Wednesday it had teamed up with Ding Hai Investment Management Co, a subsidiary of New China Trust, to identify investments in China.
"The current market environment presents us with unprecedented opportunities to invest in China at very attractive valuations," Musab Jassim, executive chairman, Amara Holdings said in a statement.
China has attracted about $1.25 billion a week in foreign direct investment since it joined the World Trade Organisation in 2001.
But Western executives complain that some sectors where they have a proven advantage are in effect off limits as Beijing seeks to give local firms the chance to develop rival technologies.
"Over the next 12 months Amara is planning to co-invest in projects each worth up to $200 million," a company spokeswoman said. "It is looking at consumer staples, utilities and agriculture in both listed and non-listed firms."
Set up in 1979, New China Trust and Investment Co, in which Barclays (BARC.L) holds a 19.5 percent stake, manages assets of about $4 billion.
Beijing overhauled the structure of its trust companies in 2007 and since then there has been a flood of foreign interest.
Amara, which plans to list on London's Alternative Investment Market, was launched in October by prominent businessmen from the Gulf Arab region to invest in sectors more resilient to the downturn.
China has a 20-million strong Muslim population.
Gulf oil exporters have amassed enormous surpluses from an oil price rally that started in 2002 and enabled them to snap up foreign assets to diversify their risk.
Last month, OPEC oil exporter Kuwait said it was looking to raise its stake in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (1398.HK) (ICBC) and invest in Chinese energy and industrial sectors. (Editing by David Cowell)

Aim and Vision of SIAF
To be one of the best quality producers of the country, (dedicating to produce organic produces and products), but not necessary to be the biggest.
Sino Agro Food, Inc. (SIAF) is an agricultural business focused on developing, producing and distributing high margin agricultural products in the People¡¯s Republic of China.
In P.R.C. the rapid progress of industrialization of the last decade has unbalanced the needs of developments and activities of the agriculture industry, (i.e. diminishing of agriculture land, scarcity of farm laborers, industrial pollution and the generally over usage of chemical etc.). Therefore the P.R.C. Government has in recent years directed many incentive schemes and policies with the aim to revitalize and to modernize its agriculture industry. (i.e. Protection of agriculture land, stringent laws in governing the ownership and usage of agriculture land, tax free incentive applying to incomes generated from the industry and enforcing environmental friendly developments etc.)Management of the Company has many years of practical and professional experience in various and many sectors of the agriculture industry and decided in year 2004 that it was the right timing and there would be many opportunities available to develop agricultural ventures in P.R.C.
The Company intends to focus on meeting the increasing demand of China¡¯s rising middle class for gourmet and high quality food. Current lines of business include fisheries, dairies, and agricultural production of capers and sod with the direct association of modern fishery and cultivation technologies:
Let's not forget BZCN

Here's another dip people. Would not suprise me if we get news of more stores in the next few months.
IF they paly their cards right, they very well could be. Uplisting is a good start to start gaining that credibility.
Yeah, SIAF news was great. Once more people see the financial status of the company and they direction they are headed that one dollar will be history.
SIAF - Icing on the cake.
Yep, liking what I see on this one. just some more reason to invest.
Why Invest In Chinese Agriculture?
Chinese agricultural companies are protected by the government and foreign competition is heavily regulated
Recent droughts have made have contributed supply shortage which has driven prices upward
Emerging markets can be thought of as a hedge against domestic agricultural markets, particularly when the domestic markets weak
Consumption has increased across the board for all commodities; this will continue as more Chinese people move out of rural areas into urban settings
Got to like it when the SS doesn't change and if they have no desire to issue more shares, well that is just icing on the cake.
Not to mention that SIAF has patented technology that will first turn the cornstalks into feed and then turn the waste into fertilizer.
