The Ministry of Agriculture issues a new round of national agricultural machinery extension catalogue application guide

On August 28th, the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture issued the "guidelines for the Application of the catalogue of Agricultural Machinery products supported by the State in 2015-2017" (hereinafter referred to as the "Declaration Guide"). In accordance with the measures for the Administration of the catalogue of State-supported Agricultural Machinery products jointly formulated by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture regularly publishes the catalogue of agricultural machinery products supported by the state in a cycle of three years.

In the Declaration Guide issued this time, the agricultural machinery product catalogue includes 10 categories, 28 subcategories and 73 items, compared with the agricultural machinery product catalogue published last time (2011). The number of subcategories decreased by 3 and the number of items decreased by 17. Such an adjustment reflects the requirements of the relevant departments to appropriately raise the threshold of the national catalogue to reflect the advanced nature. In terms of specific arrangements, the Declaration Guide has deleted items with few provinces, simple product structure and low technical content. Including vegetable transplanter, smoke machine, fruit vegetable harvester, grass seed harvester, sugarcane cutter, silage shredder, feed crusher, carbon dioxide generator, other drainage and irrigation machinery, insecticidal lamp, fruit tree trimmer, bait machine, shutter machine, cage culture equipment, fertilizer spreader (barnyard manure), knapsack corn harvester and rake machine, etc. At the same time, for the retained 73 items, most of them set the corresponding technical threshold, such as turning plough items, requiring more than 3 share (including), mechanical flipping plough and pneumatic flipping plough are not included in the catalogue.

In this round of catalogue declaration, the overall process time remains the same, but the recommended publicity link has been added in the provincial audit process, which aims to promote the declaration work to be more fair and impartial, to correct errors as soon as possible and to facilitate enterprises to supplement relevant declaration materials. Considering the continuity of the policy, the enterprise qualification and product qualification requirements in the previous round of catalogue declaration have not been substantially adjusted, and domestic production and a certain amount of registered capital are still required. As it is difficult to assess the number of employees and the sales volume of products, the Declaration Guide cancels the corresponding requirements.

For the products that have been listed in the catalogue of Agricultural Machinery products supported and popularized by the State from 2012 to 2014 (including annual additions), the Declaration Guide is clear: when enterprises re-declare, under the condition that the relevant information remains unchanged, appraisal certificates, identification reports and other related materials can not be submitted, simplifying a large number of types of paper declaration materials, and making it more convenient for enterprises to declare.
