What signals did the Ministry of Agriculture send to the development of agricultural mechanization?

A few days ago, the Ministry of Agriculture issued a number of announcements in response to the three rural issues and suggestions raised by deputies at the fourth session of the 12th National people's Congress. We have sorted out the relevant policies in the field of agricultural mechanization. let's take a look at what important signals have been released by the Ministry of Agriculture on the development of agricultural mechanization.

◆ increases the input of agricultural machinery subsidies in major grain producing areas to encourage open subsidies for machinery and tools in key links

In the process of implementing the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery, the state has always insisted on determining subsidized machinery around the development needs of leading agricultural industries, and effectively increased subsidies for large-scale deep ploughing, straw returning to the field, grain drying equipment and other agricultural machinery equipment. At the same time, it is necessary to further increase guidance to various localities, constantly optimize the range of types of subsidized machinery for the purchase of agricultural machinery, and require green ecology as the guide to increase subsidies for middle-and high-end and advanced applicable machinery needed for the application of green technology to increase production. Strive to make up as much as possible and open subsidies. And require all localities to gradually remove some low-end, low-value, low-demand and difficult-to-supervise machines from the scope of subsidies. In addition, the provinces included in the "National Plan for the implementation of Deep loosening Land preparation Operation of Agricultural Machinery" may, in the light of reality, allocate subsidy funds (no more than 15% of the total subsidy funds) in the subsidy funds for the purchase of agricultural machinery to subsidize land preparation operations of agricultural machinery in suitable areas. Agricultural machinery service organizations such as qualified agricultural machinery large households and agricultural machinery cooperatives are encouraged to undertake job subsidies and carry out social services such as cross-regional deep loosening and land preparation operations.

The proposal put forward by the representative to adjust the subsidy structure of agricultural machinery, to focus on large-scale deep ploughing, straw returning, grain drying equipment, and to appropriately increase the proportion of subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery to support major grain producing areas has been reflected in the existing policies. In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture will adhere to the equal emphasis on standardized implementation and reform and innovation, organize in-depth research and research, strengthen top-level design, further improve the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery, and establish and improve the comprehensive support policy system for agricultural mechanization. We will increase investment in subsidies for agricultural machinery in major grain producing areas, and encourage major grain producing areas to provide open subsidies for machinery in key links. We will strengthen the creation of supporting policies such as fuel oil, agricultural machinery credit, tax concessions and agricultural machinery insurance, so as to provide material equipment support for grain production.

◆ uses Science and Technology to improve "soft and hard Power" of Grain production

The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance have successively launched the construction of a modern agricultural industrial technology system for 50 major agricultural products, including rice, wheat and corn. In view of the bottleneck restricting the development of grain production, joint research, integration, demonstration and promotion of key technologies such as cultivation of new varieties with high yield and stress resistance, production of mechanized equipment, mechanized no-tillage cultivation, early warning and prevention and control of diseases, insect pests and weeds were carried out. A total of 1056 varieties at or above the provincial level have been approved, more than 560 new technologies have been developed and more than 110sets of new equipment have been developed.

The Ministry of Agriculture has vigorously carried out agricultural science and technology education and training, together with the Ministry of Finance to implement a subsidy of 1.39 billion yuan for farmers' education and training in 2016, relying on the new professional farmer training project. Aiming at the key targets such as professional large households, family farmers, backbone of farmers' cooperatives, professional managers of agricultural enterprises, etc., we will implement the rotation training plan for new agricultural business leaders and the training plan for modern young farmers. We will improve the "trinity" cultivation system of education and training, standardized management and policy support, and train all kinds of new types of professional farmers in all directions and at various levels. Strengthen the construction of a new type of vocational farmer education and training system, through the overall use of public welfare training resources such as agricultural broadcasting schools, agricultural vocational colleges, agricultural mechanization schools, agricultural technology extension service institutions, agricultural scientific research institutes, develop cooperatives, leading enterprises and other social education and training institutions, and build a professional and diversified training platform for new professional farmers.

Research on Agricultural plastic Film cleaning Machinery assisted by ◆ Department of Science and Technology

The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Science and Technology have always attached importance to the scientific research investment in the environmental protection of agricultural plastic film, and supported "agricultural film" as an independent direction in the rural areas of the national science and technology plan during the "12th five-year Plan" period. Great breakthroughs have been made in the fields of recyclable plastic film, supporting recycling machinery, new degradation materials, crop special degradation film and so on. In the national key R & D program of the 13th five-year Plan launched by the Ministry of Science and Technology this year, the project "low-cost Manufacturing Technology of Agricultural mulch Materials with adjustable function and Life" has been arranged in the key special project of "technological upgrading and industrialization of key basic Materials". Biodegradable plastic film materials and product innovation are taken as the focus of research. In the next step, we will continue to support the development and research of degradable plastic film and agricultural plastic film cleaning machinery, summarize technological research and development achievements, and speed up the promotion of mature technology.
