Li Weiguo, director of Agricultural Mechanization Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture
In recent years, with the support of the Central Government's policy of "benefiting agriculture and benefiting farmers", with the joint efforts of all sectors of society, the level of agricultural mechanization in our country has maintained a sustained and rapid development. First, the total amount of farm machinery and equipment continued to maintain a rapid growth. According to statistics, The total power of agricultural machinery and equipment exceeded 1 billion kilowatts, an increase of 20% over five years ago.While the total amount of agricultural machinery and equipment increased, the agricultural market structure and demand structure has undergone great changes .For example, in the past two years, large horsepower tractor sales growth Large, the market demand for efficient and advanced agricultural machinery continues to increase; second, the level of China's agricultural mechanization has also achieved a new breakthrough.According to preliminary statistics, in 2017, China's farming and harvesting comprehensive agricultural mechanization level reached more than 66%, 5 years increased by 10 Percentage points.China has formally entered the new stage of agricultural mechanization production from the traditional mode of production of human and animal beings in the past; thirdly, the socialized service organizations mainly composed of agricultural cooperatives have seen a new increase in terms of quantity and service capability.According to Statistics show that there are about 187,000 agricultural service organizations in China at present, of which there are nearly 70,000 agricultural cooperatives and their service forms are constantly changing. Moderate level of social services within a radius of gradual improvement. Agricultural development around the comprehensive production capacity of agriculture to promote increased competitiveness. It also reflects the development of China's agricultural mechanization level from the intermediate stage towards advanced stage.
Compared with developed countries, there are still many inadequacies and imbalances in the development of agricultural mechanization in our country. The main problems lie in the unbalanced development of the mechanized development of cash crops and grain crops. The imbalance between the northern plains and the hilly areas in the south is not sufficient , Unbalanced and inadequate farming and aquaculture, unbalanced and inadequate supply and distribution structure of agricultural machinery, unbalanced and insufficient between low-end and high-end, The contradictions are still very prominent.
Inadequate and unbalanced development of agricultural mechanization also provides opportunities for future development.Whether from the future change of agricultural production, agricultural development trend, or from the current direction of development of agriculture, rural areas, all for agricultural development zone Opportunities, agricultural machinery has become an important symbol of modern agriculture.
Agricultural mechanization can reduce the cost of agricultural products in our country and increase the international competitiveness of agriculture, meanwhile, we can solve the problem of insufficient rural labor force brought about by industrialization and urbanization, and the development of green technology in agricultural production also needs mechanization. To implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country's countryside, it is necessary to improve the popularity of the country, and to maintain the popularity of the country, not only to improve the rural living environment, improve the rural economy, but also to improve the decentness of the rural workers, or even to make more money , Nor can they attract young people to return home or attract urban people to invest in the rural areas.
In the future, the goal of agricultural development in our country will continue to adhere to the principle of "full, comprehensive, high-quality and high-efficiency", and actively improve the quality of the reform while promoting the quantity so as to promote the prosperity of the rural industry. In general, we should consider five issues:
First of all, to improve the level of R & D and manufacturing of agricultural machinery with technological innovations and innovations in accordance with the "Made in China 2025" program to speed up the development of efficient and low-cost equipment to solve the problem of inorganic availability, to further improve the overall level of agricultural machinery industry, improve product quality and solve our country is not good Machine problems.Stech involves the entire research system, therefore, to further improve the purchase of agricultural subsidies to guide and enhance the quality of agricultural products.
Second, we will intensify the integration of agro-agribusiness, focus on promoting the full and effective development of major crops to the entire industry, grasping the technical integration of the weak links and adapting to the transformation of the industrial structure and starting from 2018, we will carry out a full mechanized pilot project of characteristic crops with points and surfaces The development of breakthroughs in the weak links.At the same time, to further strengthen the integration of agricultural mechanization and information technology, which is very helpful to attract young people to return home.
Thirdly, to integrate resources and strengthen cooperation among various departments, for example, to build high-standard farmland, we should give more consideration to the convenience of farm machinery operation in acceptance inspection. , Promote the reform in the hilly areas suitable for the transformation of mechanization, integrate the forces between departments, and improve the supporting conditions of agricultural machinery maintenance and storage.
Fourthly, we should actively cultivate a new type of management subject and achieve the connection between small-scale farmers and agriculturalization. We should adopt policies to encourage service organizations to develop and expand the service modes and forms for new type of management entities. In order to explore order operations and full trusteeship in cross- In the future development of cooperatives, the scope of their services can be expanded. While cooperatives provide social services for agricultural machines, cooperatives develop comprehensive agricultural services such as rural garbage disposal and maintenance of rural roads and other public welfare issues.
Fifth, strengthen cultivation efforts to build high-quality agricultural mechanization team to strengthen the cultivation of agricultural machinery in the countryside to create a group of soil experts, through soil experts to promote agricultural technology.At the same time, to attract high-quality people to return home for the development of agricultural machinery to provide An endless stream of power.
