The potential of the agricultural mechanization market is huge, and the level of agricultural mechanization in China has improved significantly.

The potential of the agricultural mechanization market is huge, and the level of agricultural mechanization in China has improved significantly.

Agricultural mechanization equipment has improved steadily. In 1949, the total power of agricultural mechanization equipment in the country was only 81.01 million kilowatts, and there were only 117 agricultural tractors. Some large-scale agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters and agricultural trucks were basically blank. After more than half a century of development, the number of agricultural machinery has increased by a thousand times, and some varieties even tens of thousands of times. By the end of 2003, the total power of agricultural machinery in the country had reached more than 600 million kW, and the original value of agricultural machinery reached 336.2 billion US dollars. The number of agricultural tractors was 14.94 million, the number of tractors supporting agricultural machinery was 22.92 million, and the combined harvesting machinery was 360,000.

The mechanization level of farmland operations has increased significantly. The mechanization level of farmland operations has been significantly improved, and the level of mechanical arable land, sowing and harvesting has been continuously developed.

The field of agricultural machinery services continues to expand. The service area of ​​agricultural institutions has been extended from the original farmland operations to pre- and post-production to other areas. A large number of facilities and agricultural equipment, agricultural and sideline products processing machinery, animal husbandry machinery, forestry machinery, plant protection machinery, transportation machinery, and farmland infrastructure construction machinery have grown rapidly. The greenhouse area reached 6.9 billion square meters, and the number of rural management machines reached 40,000.

Agricultural machinery operations are developing towards market-oriented and socialized services. The scale of planting of Chinese farmers is small, and it is not necessary for every household to purchase agricultural machinery, and it is not necessary to develop agricultural machinery socialization services. With the national cross-regional machine harvesting wheat started in 1996 as a symbol, China's agricultural machinery operations have developed into market-oriented and socialized services. Since 1996, the relevant departments of China have cooperated vigorously to use the time difference of wheat harvesting from south to north to organize the operation of harvesting wheat across the region by combine harvesters, increasing the use time of combine harvesters from an average of 7-10 days per year to more than one year. In the month, the utilization rate of the combine harvester was improved, that is, the mechanized harvesting requirements of the farmers were met, the benefits of the purchasers were also improved, and the mechanization level of the wheat and the increase in the number of combine harvesters were promoted.

International agricultural machinery technology exchanges and cooperation have been strengthened. In recent years, many large-scale agricultural machinery companies in the world have spotted China's huge agricultural machinery market, cooperated with relevant Chinese departments and enterprises, and developed their business in China, achieving a win-win situation. Some large domestic enterprises have continuously studied advanced foreign experience and technology, intensified technological transformation and upgrading, and promoted the improvement of the quality of domestic agricultural mechanization products. In order to encourage the import of large-scale agricultural machinery, the state has also formulated a preferential import tax policy. Holding an exhibition similar to today in China is also an important form of strengthening international exchanges and cooperation between the agricultural machinery industry. We actively support such activities in China.

China's agricultural mechanization has made great achievements at this stage, but there are also many problems.
