This year, the total power of China's agricultural machinery increased by 4.8% year-on-year

Since the beginning of this year, the competent department of agricultural mechanization at all levels has implemented the decisions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on accelerating agricultural mechanization, conscientiously implemented the subsidy policy for agricultural machinery purchases, and carefully organized the mechanized production of key agricultural seasons. In the first half of the year, the national mechanization of agriculture continued to be maintained. With rapid development, the level of agricultural machinery and equipment, and the level of operations have reached new heights. The total power of agricultural machinery in the country is expected to reach 891 million kilowatts, an increase of 1.8% from the end of 2009, an increase of 4.8% year-on-year, and the machine harvest rate has reached a new historical record of over 86%.

This year, the scale of central government purchase subsidies for subsidies for financial services reached 15.5 billion yuan, an increase of 3.5 billion yuan over the previous year. As of June 30, the country had implemented 9.2 billion yuan in subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery, accounting for 92% of the first batch of subsidy funds, which was 8 percentage points faster than the same period last year. The country has accumulatively subsidized 3.25 million farm machinery and equipment (sets) and benefited 2.36 million rural households. From January to May of this year, the total output value and sales value of the agricultural machinery industry reached 108.1 billion yuan and 104.9 billion yuan respectively, a year-on-year increase of 23.16% and 22.95%, respectively.

For this year's serious drought in southwest China, unusually low temperatures in spring in northern China, severe summer rainfall in southern China, and other abnormal weather, local agricultural authorities have responded quickly and have taken effective measures, which again demonstrated the main role of agricultural machinery in agricultural production and disaster relief. During the period of spring plowing, the levels of machine tillage and machine seeding reached 60% and 39%, respectively, which was an increase of 2% over the same period of last year. During the “three summers” period, the maturation period of large areas of wheat was postponed for 7 days, and the harvest period was very concentrated. In the face of the severe situation of tight agriculture and heavy tasks, the Ministry of Agriculture arranged and deployed early, timely issued operating information, strengthened machine scheduling, and coordinated implementation of the deduction road. Tolls, preferential supply of diesel and other measures, vigorously promote harvesting, soil preparation, sowing "one-stop" operation technology, achieved a maturity of one acre, harvested one acre, planted an acre, go all out to accelerate the progress of wheat harvest, a nationwide The total number of combine harvesters on the day reached a maximum of 414,000 units, the daily mechanical harvested area reached a maximum of 27.76 million mu, and the machine harvest area was more than 20 million mu for five consecutive days. The machine harvest level also created a new historical record of over 86%, achieving Longkou grabbed grain, won valuable farm time for autumn grain production and fought for initiative. In the summer, the number of sown maize reached 125 million mu, and the sowing rate was 79%, an increase of 2.3 percentage points over the previous year.

In the first half of the year, the pace of popularization of agricultural machinery technology was accelerated, and the safety of agricultural machinery production remained stable. Around the country, vigorously promoted conservation tillage, machine transplanting, and other advanced technologies that are cost-effective and cost-effective. In the first half of the year, the area for the promotion of new national agricultural mechanization technology reached 77.4 million mu. The Ministry of Agriculture announced 500 demonstration farms (points) for agricultural service of national agricultural machinery, and used typical demonstration and radiation to promote the development of agricultural machinery professional cooperatives, agricultural machinery majors, and agricultural machinery maintenance service organizations.
