"Opinions" create four promising agricultural machinery industry prospects

Midsummer 2010 is destined to be an extraordinary season worth remembering forever in the Chinese agricultural machinery industry.

On June 10, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier Wen Jiabao visited the Sun Wangcun High Yield Wheat Demonstration Zone in Chencao Township, Xuchang County, Henan Province. They enthusiastically boarded an "Eastern Red" large-scale combine harvester and one station. "Dongfanghong" wheeled tractor cab, under the guidance of the driver, successfully completed a harvest of wheat experience, and in the newly harvested wheat field deep plowing, fertilization, planted a piece of autumn corn.

On July 5, the State Council officially announced the first national document for the development of agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry since the reform and opening up with the document Guofa (2010) No. 22 - “The State Council has promoted agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry Development Opinions (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions").

On July 10, Hu Jintao, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President of the State Council, once again visited China and made inspections. He raised new hopes for the development of China One Tractor Group and the Chinese agricultural machinery industry. Once again, the Party Central Committee and the State Council released a strong signal that agricultural mechanization and the development of the agricultural machinery industry should be further emphasized.

In a short period of just one month, the party and major national leaders frequently inspected and approached “Oriental Red” frequently. This is not only the glory of all employees in China, but also the pride of the Chinese agricultural machinery industry and the agricultural machinery industry as a whole. With pride, she conveyed to the public not only the party and the country’s unprecedented attention and expectations for the development of China’s agricultural machinery industry and agricultural mechanization, but also put forward clear goals and directions for China’s future agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry development. Combining the introduction of the "Opinions" of the State Council on July 5 with the three issues of General Secretary Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao, who were in close proximity to "Eastern Red," the author deeply felt that the party and the country are accelerating the development of the agricultural machinery industry and accelerating the advancement of agricultural mechanization. The earnest expectation of the business and the historical responsibility shouldered by China's agricultural machinery industry.

The fundamental way out for China’s agriculture lies in agricultural mechanization. Agricultural machinery is an important material foundation for the development of modern agriculture, and is also the main carrier of modern agricultural development technology. Equipping agriculture with modern science and technology and improving agricultural production efficiency are necessary means to break through the current “bottleneck” in the development of agricultural production in China and realize agricultural modernization. In the new round of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” policy, agricultural machinery has been given great attention and attention due to its irreplaceable role in agricultural production. Accelerating the development of the agricultural machinery industry is a general trend and a popular aspiration. Recalling that since 2004, the party Central Committee has issued seven "Central Document No. 1" consecutively to focus on "agriculture, rural areas and peasants" and the country has continuously increased investment in "agriculture, countryside and farmers" in successive years, in particular, subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery, and a series of support agriculture and aid to agriculture. The historical background of the Huinong policy, combined with the timely introduction of the State Council's "Opinions", we have reason to make such a judgment - China's agricultural machinery industry has begun a new journey towards better and faster development.

At present, the issuance of the “Opinions” of the State Council has generated tremendous repercussions in the industry. Some people say that “Opinions” is “a new milestone in the development of China’s agricultural mechanization” and some call it “the action program for the development of China’s agricultural mechanization in the new era.” Although everyone has different perspectives and different opinions, the lines between the lines are full of opinions on the "Opinions" and expectations for the future of China's agricultural mechanization and the good prospects for the agricultural machinery industry.

Combining long-term business practices of agricultural machinery business, through careful study of the "Opinions", the author analyzed that the "Opinions" of the State Council are not only the action program for the development of China's agricultural mechanization, but also the beacon light that leads the future development of China's agricultural machinery industry, and it is also the promotion of agricultural machinery. Industry accelerators to higher goals. Its role in promoting the development of China's agricultural machinery industry is highlighted in the following aspects:

I. The Opinions indicate the future direction of development for the agricultural machinery industry

"Adhere to the path of agricultural mechanization with Chinese characteristics, focus on promoting technological innovation, organizational innovation and institutional innovation, and strive to promote the coordinated development of agricultural machinery, agronomy, and agricultural management methods, and focus on strengthening the construction of agricultural machinery socialization service system, and focus on improving the innovation capability and manufacturing level of agricultural machinery industry. We will further increase policy support and promote the sound and rapid development of agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry." The above-mentioned guiding ideology put forward in the "Opinions" is not only the original intention of the publication of the document, but also a strategic guide to guide the future development of China's agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry.

The strategic objectives and tasks of the agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery development that the “Opinions” clearly put forward are all important and focus issues for the future development of China’s agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry, and are the bottleneck for the agricultural machinery industry to fully break through. For example, it is necessary to speed up the process of agricultural mechanization in key regions and the promotion of mechanization of key crops, promote coordinated development of agricultural machinery and agro-mechanization technology, and it is not only the responsibility of the agricultural machinery management department and the agricultural machinery extension agency, but also the production and management of agricultural machinery and agricultural machinery. Corporate mission.

In terms of the agricultural machinery industry and industrial policies, the Opinions clearly stated that it is necessary to “encourage and guide the agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises to optimize the property rights structure, establish a modern enterprise system with clear property rights, clear rights and responsibilities, and scientific management; encourage the strategic reorganization of agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises and speed up the group Intensive and intensification process, forming a number of large-scale enterprise groups and industrial clusters with advanced manufacturing levels and strong competitiveness, forming industrial systems and industrial clusters that are accompanied by large-scale enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises to enhance industrial concentration and professionalism. Division of labor and cooperation." In the adjustment of product structure, the "Opinions" pointed out that we must "optimize the structure of agricultural machinery products, change the current shortage of high-end products, the surplus of low-end products, the high degree of dependence on imports of high-powered tractors, and the poor quality of small-scale agricultural machinery. We must actively develop family-friendly businesses. The medium and small-sized and light-simplified agricultural machinery needed to form a pattern that adapts to the economic development of different regions in China and the common development of high-, middle-, and low-end products, and actively develops and produces highly efficient, energy-saving, environmentally-friendly, multi-functional, intelligent, and economical agricultural machinery, focusing on breakthrough rice transplanting and corn harvesting. , rape planting and harvesting machinery, and water-saving irrigation equipment and other bottlenecks, give priority to the development of large tractors above 100 hp, 50-70 hp energy-saving environmentally friendly paddy field tractors, high-gap tractors, multi-functional grain combine harvesters, corn harvesters, sugarcane harvesting Machines, cotton harvesters, large and medium-sized power machinery supporting equipment, efficient plant protection machinery, energy-efficient pump equipment, water-saving irrigation equipment, small-scale dredging and drainage equipment, small machinery suitable for use in hilly areas, etc. Accelerating the research and development of agricultural dredging equipment.

From the perspective of the development of the entire agricultural machinery industry, the "Opinions" has already found and pointed out the focus of work and the direction of progress for us. Its objectives have been made clear, the lines are very clear, and the measures are concrete and effective. As the main body of the agricultural machinery industry, agricultural machinery companies only need to solve two problems: First, the "Views" of the State Council as the guide, careful analysis of the research market, in accordance with market demand, organize research and development and production, and do everything possible to develop the production of high quality, advanced technology and marketable Road agricultural machinery products, to maximize meet the personalized, diversified needs from the market. The second is to firmly grasp the new development trend of the industry, strengthen the integration and optimization of internal and external resources, actively participate in market competition, withstand competition in the competition, enhance the core competitiveness in the exercise and the strength of the company's own strength, so as to lead Promote and upgrade the industrial structure of China's agricultural machinery industry.

Second, the "Opinions" open up a large amount of market space for the future agricultural machinery industry.

"By 2015, the total power of agricultural machinery will reach 1 billion kilowatts, of which 100 million kilowatts will be used for irrigation and drainage. The level of comprehensive mechanization for major crops will reach 55%. By 2020, the total power of agricultural machinery will stabilize at 1.2 billion kilowatts, including The power of irrigation and drainage machinery reached 110 million kilowatts, and the level of comprehensive mechanization of main crops and tillers reached 65%, of which, mechanization of wheat cultivation and harvesting reached over 90%, and mechanization of rice cultivation and harvesting reached 60% and 85%, respectively. The level reached 50%, and the rapeseed sowing machine and machine harvesting levels reached 15% and 20%, respectively, basically solving the key technical problems of sugarcane planting and harvest mechanization.” This is the medium and long-term strategy for the development of agricultural mechanization in China proposed by the “Opinions” of the State Council. The goal is also a huge market demand factor for China's agricultural machinery industry in the future. To achieve this grand goal, we must rely on the rapid development and progress of China's agricultural machinery industry. We must speed up the concept innovation, technological innovation, and institutional innovation of the agricultural machinery industry. Through the optimization and integration of industrial resources, we must make breakthroughs in key areas and key technologies as soon as possible. In order to achieve the rapid growth of the agricultural machinery industry itself, and to better meet the future of agricultural machinery development, the objective and personalized needs of agricultural machinery.

To achieve the above-mentioned strategic goals, there are many tasks for agricultural machinery R&D companies. The tasks are glorious and arduous, and the market opportunities and demand space are correspondingly increased. For instance, to speed up the development of mechanization of large crops such as grain, cotton, oil, and sugar will inevitably lead to the development and progress of large-scale, high-efficiency, compound-cultivation and harvesting machines; and to small-scale operations machinery and agricultural products such as aquaculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries. The advancement of mechanization in primary processing will inevitably release and activate the potential of a large number of small and medium-sized agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises. In addition, in accordance with the requirements of the Duplex High-efficiency, Safety, Reliability, Energy Saving, Environmental Protection, and Advanced Technology proposed by the Opinions, the progress of the upgrading of irrigation and drainage equipment should be accelerated, and conservation tillage, water-saving irrigation, deep soil loosening, and precision seeding should be promoted. The deepening of chemical fertilizers, efficient plant protection, and comprehensive utilization of crop stalks, such as increased production and efficiency, resource conservation, and environmentally friendly agricultural mechanization technology, will surely trigger a Chinese agricultural machinery that accelerates product renewal, eliminates outdated production capacity, and promotes and applies new technologies. The "second revolution" of the industry. The protagonist of this revolution, the majority of agricultural machinery production and operation companies, will inevitably face greater challenges and more market opportunities.

3. The Opinions provide an orderly development of the social environment for the future agricultural machinery industry

The "Opinions" proposes to "establish a collaborative research mechanism for agricultural and agronomic research institutes, formulate scientific and reasonable, mutually compatible specifications and agronomic standards for mechanical operations, and regard mechanical adaptability as an important indicator for the promotion of scientific research breeding and cultivation modes, and promote them in a targeted manner. Batches are suitable for mechanized varieties and planting patterns to promote the integration of agronomy and agronomy.” This new policy fundamentally solves the “agricultural disputes”, breaks through the industry barriers that have long constrained the coordinated development of agricultural mechanization, and promotes the coordinated development of agricultural mechanization. Practical significance.

The “Opinions” put forward the policy of “guided by market demand, guiding the input of social capital, technology, and talent, and continuing to increase the support for the purchase, use of agricultural machinery, and fiscal, taxation, and financial support for the agricultural machinery industry,” and will inevitably mobilize the industry. Enterprises to increase investment in resources, promote the transformation of production structure and product structure and increase the enthusiasm of technological research and development, but also help mobilize the industry and social resources to further invest in the agricultural machinery industry, thereby boosting the sound and rapid development of China's agricultural machinery industry and overall strength The upgrade.

The “Opinions” put forward a proposal for improving the socialization service mechanism for agricultural machinery, giving priority to supporting and supporting the development of agricultural machinery service cooperatives and other agricultural machinery service organizations, building a modernized agricultural circulation system and a sound after-sales service network for agricultural machinery, supporting cross-regional operations of agricultural machinery, and strengthening machine farming roads. Construction, improvement of farm machinery operations, access conditions, guarantee of agricultural oil for agricultural operations and other policies, and strengthening the supervision and management of the safe use of agricultural machinery, improve the quality of agricultural machinery operations, maintenance of quality standards, standardize agricultural operations, maintenance services, strengthen agricultural testing and quality certification , Establishing a system for retiring agricultural machinery, speeding up the elimination of old and high-energy-consuming farm machines, establishing and improving laws and regulations governing the safe use of agricultural machinery, and a series of practical policies that benefit both the people and the convenience of the people, which are conducive to creating a sound and safe environment for agricultural machinery operations and use. It will also help the agricultural machinery industry achieve great development through the improvement of the operating environment of agricultural machinery users and the increase in demand for purchasing power.

Fourth, the "opinions" provides a continuous strengthening policy system for the future agricultural machinery industry.

Generally speaking, the preferential policies of the agricultural machinery industry proposed in the Opinions are mainly divided into two categories: one is the direct discount and support for the agricultural machinery industry; the other is through the preferential treatment for agricultural machinery and agricultural machinery users. To incubate and expand the market for the agricultural machinery industry indirectly benefits the agricultural machinery industry. The two types of policies are coordinated with each other and promote each other, which together constitute the policy guarantee system for the development of the agricultural machinery industry in the new period.

The first type of favorable policies include: the central government will increase investment to support the construction of technological innovation capacity of agricultural machinery industry, the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and the introduction of technology and intelligence. The state’s technological transformation investment will give appropriate tilt and support to the technological transformation of agricultural machinery industry; Support for the technical transformation of agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises in line with industrial policies, new product development and construction of agricultural machinery circulation facilities give credit support. Small and medium-sized agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises can enjoy the relevant policies of the state to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and pilot projects of national innovative enterprises are further tilted to agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises; The tariffs and import value-added tax shall be exempted from the production of new, large-horsepower agricultural machinery and products, and key spare parts and raw materials that must be imported to support the development of the country; the agricultural machinery manufacturers that are listed in the national high-tech enterprises that are mainly supported by the state may be 15% The preferential tax rate is levied on corporate income tax, agricultural machinery sales companies are exempted from value-added tax; the construction of agricultural machinery R&D infrastructure is included in the scope of national project construction, and in the arrangement of high-tech industrialization demonstration projects, the research and development of new agricultural machinery technologies and new products are tilted.

The second category is favorable, such as: continuing to implement the subsidy policy for agricultural machinery purchases, gradually increasing the support for major technical extension of agricultural mechanization, and implementing subsidy for agricultural machinery operations such as conservation tillage, water-saving irrigation, deep soil preparation, straw return, and efficient plant protection in appropriate areas. Pilots; exemption of enterprise income tax on farm operating and irrigation and drainage services, business tax on agricultural machinery operation and maintenance services, and free vehicle tolls for vehicles operating on cross-regional combine harvesters and transport combine harvesters (including transplanters); The mechanization promotion project will increase the support for the construction of public facilities such as agricultural machinery safety supervision, agricultural machinery promotion and appraisal, etc.; actively carry out agricultural machinery insurance business, provide premium subsidies for participating agricultural machinery in areas where conditions permit; strengthen and promote rural financial reforms, and further Increase the credit support for farmers and agricultural machinery service organizations, actively promote the agricultural machinery mortgage loan business, and provide convenience for diversified financing of farmers and agricultural machinery service organizations.

As a relatively small sub-industry in China's national economic system, the agricultural machinery industry can obtain such a large number of preferential benefits and tilts at a time. Whether it is a direct benefit or an indirect benefit, it has not occurred since the reform and opening up began more than 30 years ago. Even if it is something that was never imagined, its intensity and wide range are indeed historical classics, which are enough for the people of the industry to be filled with endless expectations and delusions.

It is true that a good policy needs to be supported by a series of related supporting measures. The final result of the policy will mainly depend on the intensity and breadth of the implementation of the policy. However, I still firmly believe that with the implementation of the “Opinions” and the implementation of relevant supporting policies, the new era of sound and rapid development of the agricultural machinery industry and sustained, steady and prosperous period is not far off.
