Take an inventory of 2014 agricultural machinery farming pipe harvester singing

Editor's note:

At the end of the year.

Agricultural mechanization is an important supporting force to ensure national food security and promote farmers 'income. In 2014, the comprehensive mechanization level of crop cultivation in China exceeded 60 per cent; state subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery reached a historic high; new agricultural technologies and equipment were widely used in production; farmers explored new production models, and various localities explored various forms of agricultural production models according to their own needs; and the purchase and sale of agricultural machinery and equipment in weak links in production flourished, showing a rapid growth trend.

NO.1

The comprehensive mechanization level of crop cultivation and harvest broke through 60%

It was learned from the National Rural Work Conference held recently that the comprehensive mechanization level of crop cultivation and harvest in 2014 exceeded 60%, which is expected to reach more than 61%, achieving the goal of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan one year ahead of schedule. Agricultural mechanization across the country has continued to develop healthily and rapidly along the track of "comprehensive, full-process, high-quality and efficient", providing strong equipment support for ensuring national food security and enhancing comprehensive agricultural production capacity.

In recent years, the mechanization level of grain production has been continuously improved, such as the mechanization of key weak links such as corn harvesting has accelerated the pace of advancement. New socialized service organizations such as agricultural machinery cooperatives have emerged rapidly, and agricultural mechanization production during important agricultural periods, such as order operation and cultivation and collection, has been widely accepted by farmers. The mechanized planting and harvesting levels of rice exceeded 38% and 81% respectively, among which the yield of early rice machinery was 74.8%, an increase of nearly 5 percentage points year-on-year, effectively overcoming the adverse effects of continuous rainy weather on the "double grab" production in Hunan and other provinces. At the same time, through policy-driven, demonstration guidance, improvement of technical services and other measures to promote the mechanization of corn harvest, the national corn harvest area exceeded 320 million mu, an increase of 45 million mu compared with the previous year, the mechanical harvest level exceeded 56%.

NO.2

In 2014, the national agricultural machinery deep loosening land preparation reached 150 million mu

In order to give full play to the role of deep loosening and land preparation in increasing production, the Ministry of Agriculture launched a pilot project of 100 million mu this year. Due to the high attention paid by the upper and lower levels, timely deployment arrangements and strong policy support, the smooth implementation of agricultural machinery deep loosening and land preparation operations in various places has been effectively promoted. This year, a total of 150 million mu of agricultural machinery deep loosening and land preparation has been completed, and the target tasks for 2014 have been well completed.

There are about 720 million mu of cultivated land suitable for deep loosening in China, of which 80% are in Northeast China, North China and Huanghuaihai region. The subsoiling time mainly concentrated in two periods before spring sowing and after autumn harvest, and the subsoiling area in autumn accounted for about two thirds of the whole year. Up to now, 107 million mu of deep loosening land preparation in autumn and 41.71 million mu of deep loosening land preparation in spring have been completed, with a cumulative operation area of 149 million mu in the whole year, exceeding the target task of 100 million mu. Northeast China, North China and Huanghuaihai areas, as the main battlefields for deep loosening and land preparation, have completed 119.6 million mu this year, including 59.12 million mu in Heilongjiang Province (including agricultural reclamation), accounting for about one third of the province's dry land area.

The state listed subsoiling machinery as the focus of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, giving priority to meeting farmers 'demand for purchasing large tractors and subsoiling machinery. As of November 15, 61.32 million yuan of central subsidy funds have been invested nationwide this year, and 17642 sets of deep soiling machines and joint soil preparation machines have been newly added.

NO.3

Ministry of Agriculture and Agricultural Bank of China cooperate to test agricultural machinery leasing

At present, farmers are increasingly demanding large and medium-sized, multifunctional and high-performance agricultural machinery, but their purchasing ability is weak, which restricts the modernization of agricultural machinery. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture cooperated with the Agricultural Bank of China to try to solve the financing problem of farmers 'purchase through market means and government-guided innovative financial services.

It is a kind of agricultural machinery financial support mode with universal popularization value to solve the problem of "loan difficulty" by leasing, alleviate "loan expensive" by agricultural machinery purchase subsidy and discount interest, recognize by financial institutions, welcome by farmers, and solve the problem by government. It gives full play to the role of financial funds, government departments promote the development of agricultural mechanization; agricultural machinery suppliers and dealers promote the sales of agricultural machinery; lessees reduce capital pressure and lower mortgage pledge threshold; grass-roots agricultural banks also expand the development of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" business.

"The lease method is more convenient than the mortgage loan procedure. You can get the machine in one month. The loan was not available for half a year before. In the past, the cooperative bought a cotton picker of 3.25 million yuan, and the interest on the four-year loan alone cost more than 500,000 yuan. This year, it is still three or four million yuan. Seven cotton pickers can be rented at a time. They not only enjoy subsidies, but also can be discounted by the state. One set saves more than 900,000 yuan. In the past, cooperatives could only find ways to raise money to buy a machine. Now they can set up an operation service team at once." The head of the cooperative said.

NO.4

In 2014, agricultural machinery purchase subsidies reached 23.75 billion yuan

In 2014, the central government's subsidy fund for agricultural machinery purchase reached 23.75 billion yuan, an increase of 2 billion yuan compared with the same period last year. The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance further promoted the reform and innovation of the subsidy system, comprehensively implemented the "full price purchase, quota subsidies, county-level settlement, direct compensation to the card", and 21 provinces across the country selected some urgently needed machines to implement open subsidies. More than 4 million farmers benefited from subsidies for purchasing machines nationwide, and more than 5.4 million sets of agricultural machinery (equipment) were subsidized, which effectively promoted the upgrading of agricultural machinery equipment capacity and the development of agricultural machinery industry.

NO.5

Sales of high-powered tractors and machinery urgently needed for grain production rose

This year, the number of large and medium-sized tractors is expected to reach 5.72 million units, an increase of 8.6% year-on-year, and the growth rate has an expanding trend. Rice transplanters and corn combine harvesters urgently needed for grain production maintained a rapid growth trend, with the number of holdings expected to reach 665,000 and 343,000 respectively, up 9.7% and 20.1% respectively.

This year, rice transplanter, rice and wheat harvester market production and sales are booming. According to statistics, the central government has invested 3 billion yuan in subsidies for the purchase of 45,000 rice transplanters and 103,000 rice and wheat harvesters. In terms of corn harvesters, all localities also give full play to the supporting and pulling role of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, and give priority to farmers 'purchase of corn harvesting machinery. As of November 15, the central finance used 3.05 billion yuan to subsidize the purchase of corn harvesters, an increase of 700 million yuan over the same period last year, and the local finance invested 73.24 million yuan to subsidize the purchase of corn harvesters.
