On July 17, at the provincial potato mechanization planting and harvest site observation meeting held in Xiazhai Village, Nianbo Town, Ledu County, Qinghai Province, it was seen that the potato harvester produced and developed by private enterprises in the province could harvest potatoes in a plot of 8 points in less than 40 minutes, which was equivalent to a whole day's work of 10 labourers, and the price of the machine was less than 1500 yuan.

The business staff of Qinghai Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery extension Station distributed and promoted 40 potato harvesters with an efficiency of 1.2 mu per hour to 20 grass-roots stations on the spot, and announced that 30% financial subsidy will be implemented for farmers who buy potato planters and harvesters, which means that farmers in the main potato producing areas of Qinghai Province are expected to get rid of the heavy and inefficient work of planting and harvesting potatoes. Further expand the planting area of potato, a characteristic dominant crop in Qinghai province.

After several years of adjustment of planting structure, potato planting has become a major characteristic and dominant crop in Qinghai Province. at present, millions of mu of commercial potato production belts have been formed in the shallow mountain areas on both sides of the Huangshui River, Datong River and the Yellow River. however, due to the high labor intensity and low efficiency of potato planting and harvest, it has become the main factor restricting the further expansion of commercial potato planting scale. Ledu County Guangming Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a private enterprise in the province, has sold 60 potato harvesters to Guizhou Province in March this year after years of testing and improving the production and development of 2BFM-1 potato planting machine and 4UM-1 potato harvester.
