Agricultural equipment still needs more horsepower.

At present, the comprehensive mechanization level of major crops in China has reached 63%, but the "deficiency" of agricultural equipment is still obvious, which can not fully meet the needs of modern agricultural development, which restricts the improvement of the level of agricultural mechanization.

Fill the gap of asymmetry between supply and demand

There is a rainy season during the harvest season of summer grain this year, and there is more mildew in the grain. However, the widespread use of dryers will minimize the loss of moldy grain. "Grain drying is a deficiency in the current mechanization of grain production. Grain dryers are selling briskly this year. Our company produces 500 grain dryers a month, but demand still falls short of supply. It is estimated that 3000 units will be sold for the whole year, which is double that of previous years." Wang Jinfu, vice president of Zoomlion, said in an interview with the Economic Daily.

The comprehensive mechanization level of main crops in China is increasing year by year, but the development of agricultural mechanization is very uneven. The data show that wheat basically achieves full mechanization, while the mechanization level of deep ploughing of sugarcane land in most sugarcane planting areas is less than 20%; the ploughing level of cotton planting machine is about 94.9%, the machine sowing level is 65.6%, and the machine harvest level is very low; the overall mechanization of rape production is low, and the mechanization level of planting and harvesting is 39.2%, of which the mechanized harvest level is only 20.3%.

Experts believe that in the future, China's agricultural mechanization should strive to break through the bottlenecks of rape, cotton, and sugarcane, further improve the harvesting level of rice machinery and corn, and realize the development of mechanization from food crops to cash crops. from field agriculture to facility agricultural mechanization, from planting to post-natal processing and processing of agricultural products, from mid-production to prenatal and postnatal development.

Across the "slope" of "intelligent construction of agricultural machinery"

Dongfanghong LW4004 continuously variable speed tractor, which was unveiled at the national "12th five-year" science and technology exhibition held in Beijing this year, is a major breakthrough in the R & D and manufacture of agricultural machinery in China, breaking the technical monopoly of foreign continuously variable speed tractors. According to reports, this tractor breaks through the core key technologies of heavy-duty wheeled tractors such as continuously variable transmission system and intelligent control and management system, and can be engaged in heavy-duty farmland operations such as deep ploughing, deep loosening, and joint soil preparation.

The gradual integration of agricultural equipment, intelligence and information will promote the transformation of agricultural machinery manufacturing to high-end, efficient and intelligent. In recent years, the power shift tractor with electric control system produced by China Yituo Company has been put on the market, and the power shift tractor produced by Leiwo heavy Industry has realized remote monitoring and intelligent control of tractor operation. domestic large-scale cotton pickers and large sugarcane harvesters have come out one after another, indicating that China's agricultural machinery enterprises have made a breakthrough in their efforts to the middle and high end.

Informatization is the key to the realization of "intelligent construction of agricultural machinery". Now the global agricultural machinery manufacturing has entered the information age, and information technology has penetrated into every link of the agricultural machinery industry from research and development, production, sales to service. Agricultural machinery products have changed from a pure mechanical product to a new generation of intelligent mechanical products with a close combination of machinery and information technology. At present, the informationization of agricultural machinery in China is still in its infancy, the technology and system are not very perfect, some key technologies are still under research and development, and the quality of components is not up to standard.

Gao Yuanen, honorary president of China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, believes that China still has a long way to go to form an overall information solution for agricultural production in 2025, and to achieve great-leap-forward development through innovation driving. introduce, digest and absorb foreign mature technology, focusing on the development of power shift and continuously variable speed efficient large tractors Develop multi-functional and high-efficiency grain harvesters, large-scale sugarcane harvesters and cotton pickers, and develop high-end agricultural equipment and key parts such as large-scale double-entry machines and tools.

Take the system integration "Sunshine Boulevard"

Agricultural mechanization is a systematic project, which involves many aspects, such as machinery R & D and manufacturing, land environment, variety selection, cultivation, processing, production and operation organization, and so on. it needs the cooperation of agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises, processing enterprises, relevant government departments, farmers and other departments and fields to study and promote systematically.

Guangxi is the main sugarcane growing area in China, and the level of sugarcane mechanization has improved in recent years, but it is still less than 5%. Zhao Renwei, head of research and development of the sugarcane harvester project at Zoomlion, believes that this is mainly because China has not yet established a sugar production system from sugarcane variety research and development to planting to harvesting to processing. At present, sugarcane production in Guangxi is still dominated by small farmers. In hilly areas, the land is small, the slope is large, the land is not concentrated, and the planting is not standard, which limits the promotion of agricultural machinery operation.

Land consolidation is the most important link for our country to realize agricultural mechanization in an all-round way. We must strengthen the construction of high-standard farmland, actively promote land consolidation and develop continuous planting on an appropriate scale, so as to create conditions for agricultural machinery service.

The launch of large-scale domestic sugarcane harvester on the market will help to break through the bottleneck of mechanized sugarcane harvesting. Zhang Lixin, chairman of Zhengfeng Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Longzhou County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi, told reporters that their cooperative provided agricultural machinery operation services for large local sugar cane growers. Last year, he spent 1.3 million yuan (state subsidy 650000 yuan) on a cut-off sugarcane harvester produced by Zoomlion, which can harvest 50 to 60 tons a day, equivalent to 50 or 60 workers. In order to ensure that the harvested sugar cane was delivered to the sugar factory in time, the cooperative signed a sugar cane harvest service agreement with the large sugar cane growers, and agreed with the local sugar factory on the harvest time and place, and the sugar factory sent cars to transport the sugar cane. In this way, cooperatives, large sugarcane growers and sugar mills have formed a community of interests to jointly promote the mechanization of sugarcane harvesting.
