Agricultural Machinery Policy Promotes All-round Development of the Industry

In the first half of the year, China’s agricultural mechanization maintained a good momentum of comprehensive, rapid, and healthy development under the “four continuous” policies and policies, providing favorable support for the stable development of agriculture.

I. The situation of safe production of agricultural machinery continues to be good and generally stable

We will innovate the way of agricultural machinery supervision, actively promote the implementation of free-of-charge management of agricultural machinery, and encourage the payment of subsidies for the issuance of agricultural machinery licenses, safety inspections, training exams, scrap recycling, and accident insurance. There are 596 counties in the country that implement free management, accounting for 21% of all counties (districts). Vigorously carry out investigation and management of hidden dangers and correct illegal operations.

Second, the agricultural machinery and equipment structure continues to be optimized, and the key crops and key agricultural machinery and equipment have grown faster

Give full play to the role of macro-regulation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policies, guide farmers to purchase advanced and applicable agricultural machinery, and implement trials of agricultural machinery scrapping and renewal subsidies in 11 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities, and reclamation areas) in Shandong to promote the replacement and energy saving of old agricultural machinery. row. In the first half of this year, the number of large and medium-sized tractors and supporting farm implements is expected to reach 5.08 million units and 7.9 million units, respectively, an increase of 9.4% and 8.7% year-on-year, respectively, which is 10.5, 9.1 percentage points higher than that of small tractors and supporting farm tools, respectively. All of them have negative growth, and the trend of large-scale and matching tractors is even more pronounced. Rice transplanters and combine harvesters are expected to reach 577,000 units and 1.35 million units, respectively, an increase of 15.5% and 16.8% year-on-year respectively.

3. The total amount of agricultural machinery continues to grow rapidly, and the agricultural machinery industry is booming.

We have solidly promoted the implementation of subsidy policies for agricultural machinery purchases in an scientific and efficient manner and implemented clean innovation pilots in operation modes of “full-price purchase, county-level settlement, and direct subsidy to card” in 32 provincial-level execution units, and carried out business operations for 3,000 subsidized grass-roots workers. Rotation training, comprehensively promote the disclosure of subsidy information, and strictly investigate violations of laws and regulations. As of June 30, the central government implemented a total of 13.3 billion yuan in subsidy for agricultural machinery and machinery purchases, subsidized 3.2 million sets of farm machinery and equipment, and benefited 2.158 million rural households; the total agricultural machinery power is expected to reach 1.046 billion kilowatts, an increase of 5.8% over the same period of last year. From January to May, the national agricultural machinery industry above designated size realized operating income of 14.75 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17%, a profit of 88.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19%, and a cumulative total of 11.3 billion yuan in export and import delivery, an increase of 3.4% year-on-year.

4. The area of ​​agricultural machinery operations continued to expand, and the main force of the “Three Summers” agricultural machinery in the spring was highlighted

Carry out research and demonstration of key technologies for agronomy and agronomy integration of major crops, increase the promotion of agricultural machinery and technology promotion, accumulatively increase protection farmland, high-efficiency plant protection, straw bale, and other new agricultural machinery promotion technologies to an area of ​​120 million mu. We have strengthened the organization, management, coordination, and service of farm machinery operations during important farming seasons. During the spring farming period this year, a total of 24.92 million sets (sets) of agricultural machinery were put into operation in the country for machine cultivation, machine broadcasting, and irrigation. The spring sowing area was 544 million mu, an increase of 1400 over the previous year. Million acres. The organization and scheduling of agricultural machinery cooperatives and 4.2 million large and medium-sized machines were put into the spring plowing production in the northeast region, which significantly accelerated the progress of spring planting and ensured that the grain varieties were suitable for sowing. During the “Three Summers” period, a total of 540,000 units of combine harvesters were put into operation across the country, with a daily harvested area of ​​up to 19.26 million mu. The level of wheat harvest in the five major producing provinces in Suyu, Lu, and Henan provinces was 98.4%. Summer corn in the Huang-Huai-Hai area was broadcast. The level of 90.8%, mechanized harvesting, straw returning, no-tillage sowing "a one-stop" operation area has increased significantly, effectively protecting the summer grain grain return to the warehouse and timely harvesting autumn crops.
