State Council: Multi-Pronged Promotion of Agricultural Mechanization and Development of Agricultural Machinery Industry

Recently, the State Council printed and issued the Opinions of the State Council on Promoting Agricultural Mechanization and the Sound and Rapid Development of the Agricultural Machinery Industry (hereinafter referred to as “Opinions”). The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission stated in response to a reporter’s question on the “Opinions” that on the basis of continuing to implement the current supporting policies and continuously intensifying efforts, some new supporting policies will be adopted to promote the development of agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry, including: We will make great financial support, improve the purchase subsidies system for agricultural machinery, strengthen and improve financial services, earnestly implement preferential tax and fee policies, and support agricultural mechanization infrastructure construction.

At present, China’s national economy is in a period of accelerated industrialization and urbanization. Agriculture is undergoing a crucial period of transition from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture. The input structure of agricultural production factors and agricultural production methods are undergoing profound changes. The development of agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry is undergoing profound changes. Put forward higher requirements.

In this regard, the "Opinions" proposed two stages of development goals: by 2015, the total agricultural machinery power will reach 1 billion kilowatts, and the level of comprehensive mechanization of major crops will be more than 55%; and a coordinated and effective independent innovation platform for the agricultural machinery industry will be established. Several products and technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and some products have reached the international advanced level. By 2020, the total agricultural machinery power will stabilize at 1.2 billion kilowatts, and the level of comprehensive mechanization of main crops will reach 65%; the agricultural machinery industry will have a technological innovation system that will form a number of large-scale enterprise groups with international competitiveness and brand influence. Modern agricultural circulation system and perfect agricultural service network.

In order to realize the goals of agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry development, the "Opinions" clearly define the main tasks for the current and future periods. Among them, in promoting the development of agricultural mechanization, it is necessary to speed up the process of agricultural mechanization in key regions; to promote coordinated development of agricultural machinery and agronomy; to promote the construction of agricultural machinery service organizations and socialized services; to strengthen the cultivation of practical talents in agricultural mechanization; to strengthen the promotion of agricultural mechanization technology; It is necessary to strengthen the supervision and management of the safe use of agricultural machinery. In promoting the development of the agricultural machinery industry, it is necessary to promote the reform of the agricultural machinery industry; it is necessary to focus on solving the structural contradictions of agricultural machinery products; to strengthen the scientific and technological innovation capacity of the agricultural machinery industry; to improve the manufacturing level and product quality of the agricultural machinery industry; to build a modern agricultural machinery circulation system; Agricultural Machinery International Cooperation.
