Chinese term

三农

Chinese to English Social Sciences Government / Politics
所谓“三农”问题,是指农业、农村、农民这三个问题。

I understand that there's a similar question asked here and the answer given was "Farm, Farming and Farmer" - but I wonder if there's an official English translation for 三农 (for example, one that China Daily English newspaper would use).

Thanks!

From further research, I have found that there is actually an acronym in print for "三农": FAC - Farmers, Agriculture, and Countryside

cf. Zhong Xianghao, Li Xiangmei, and Peng Chuanzhong. "Analysis on the status of farmers, agriculture and countryside, and development strategies and measures in Tibet autonomous region." Journal of Mountain Science, Volume 1, Number 2 / May, 2004.

Keywords Tibet Autonomous Region - farmer - agriculture and countryside (FAC) - strategies - measures

However, I didn't find it on any China Daily websites.

Hope this helps!

Chinese term (edited): 三农; “三农”问题

3 AGRIs; 3 agricultural problem

三农 actually refers to “三农”问题 ==> 3 agricultural problem

If you insist on just translating 三农 , my suggestion would be
3 AGRIs w/c stands for agricultural business, agricultural community & agricultural worker.

agri is widely used non standard abbrevation for agriculture.
