Opportunities and challenges brought by large-scale agricultural machinery

I. the trend of large-scale agricultural machinery is becoming increasingly obvious.

According to the statistics of China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association on 21 major tractor enterprises (accounting for more than 85% of the output value of the tractor industry) and 18 major harvester enterprises (accounting for more than 80% of the output value of the harvester industry), from January to May, the sales of tractors below 110 horsepower showed a large negative growth, while the sales of tractors above 110 horsepower were better, of which tractors at 110 horsepower increased by 26.2% compared with the same period last year. The 120-139 horsepower section increased by 141.18% compared with the same period last year. Less than 5kg / s wheeled self-propelled grain combine has a negative growth compared with the same period last year, while the sales of wheeled self-propelled grain combine harvester above 5kg / s are better. The market prosperity of large-scale agricultural machinery is obviously higher than that of small and medium-sized machinery.

II. The large-scale agricultural machinery marks the transformation and upgrading of agricultural production.

First, it marks the development of agricultural production from quantity to quality. Agricultural production has changed from completing the task in the past to paying more attention to the quality of the task.

Second, it marks the promotion of agricultural production from traditional to scientific and technological. The emergence of high horsepower tractor and large feeding combined harvester makes it possible to popularize and apply new agricultural mechanization technologies such as corn harvesting and straw crushing and returning, deep pine no-tillage sowing and layered fertilization.

Third, it marks the change of agricultural production from focusing on cost to paying attention to comprehensive benefits. In the purchase link, farmers used to mainly look at the price, but now they also look at the price but pay more attention to the brand and performance of agricultural machinery. In the operation link, the price difference per mu between 90 horsepower and 100 horsepower machinery is about 10 yuan, and farmers would rather take 10 yuan more, but also use high horsepower and large feeding machinery. Because of the good performance of large machinery, the net harvest of grain, the smashing of straw, and the high efficiency of operation, farmers and agricultural mechanics pay more and more attention to the comprehensive benefit account.

III. Large-scale agricultural machinery brings important development opportunities for agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry.

On the one hand, the large-scale agricultural machinery provides a favorable opportunity for the development and structural adjustment of agricultural mechanization. At present, the main contradiction in the development of agricultural mechanization is the urgent demand for agricultural mechanization and the lack of effective supply, which is first reflected in the structural contradiction of agricultural machinery equipment, that is, more small machinery, less large machinery, more low-end machinery, less high-end machinery, more old machinery and less new machinery. The large-scale agricultural machinery has created an opportunity to reverse this traditional backward situation by "replacing the small with the big and replacing the old with the new".

On the other hand, the large-scale agricultural machinery provides a favorable opportunity for the layout optimization and upgrading of agricultural machinery industry. The large-scale agricultural machinery is conducive to raising the threshold of market access, promoting the survival of the fittest in the agricultural machinery industry, and creating a good opportunity to optimize the layout of the agricultural machinery industry and catch up with and surpass the world level.

IV. New challenges and new requirements brought by the large-scale agricultural machinery

First, agricultural machinery production enterprises should strengthen product research and development and production to meet market demand. It is necessary to give full play to the main role of innovation, further increase R & D investment, strengthen R & D innovation, and focus on power shift, stepless transmission and hydrostatic transmission of high-power tractors. Large-scale grain harvester folding, high-efficiency and low-loss threshing separation, intelligent monitoring and other common core technologies to continuously improve the adaptability, reliability, safety and comfort of products. To meet the increasing needs of farmers and agricultural production.

Second, agricultural machinery management departments should improve the level of management services to meet the needs of development. It is necessary to conscientiously perform the duties of the department, tilt the policies of strengthening farmers to benefit farmers and rich farmers, such as subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery, scrapping and renewal subsidies, and subsidies for deep pine operations, to large-scale agricultural machinery, and strive to solve the problem of "affordability" of farmers; further improve the level of safety inspection, quality appraisal, technical training and machinery popularization, and strive to solve the problem of "good use" of large-scale agricultural machinery. We will actively promote the introduction of supporting policies for the construction of regional large-scale agricultural machinery maintenance centers, hangars, and machine tillage roads, and strive to solve the problem of "successful" policies.

Third, farmers should keep up with the development of the situation and improve the level of operation. It is necessary to actively participate in the technical training organized by agricultural machinery management departments and agricultural machinery production and sales enterprises, strive to master the structural principles of large-scale agricultural machinery, improve driving operation and maintenance skills, and promote energy conservation, emission reduction and cost reduction and income increase.
