This year, Jiangxi Province increased the number of grain dryers by a large margin, bringing the total number of grain dryers in the province to 9,100. The traditional grain was dried by drying. However, due to the concentrated harvesting time, a large number of sites were needed for drying. Due to the influence of the weather, there are often cases where the food cannot be dried in time to cause the quality of the food to decline, and the use of the dryer can greatly improve the grain drying efficiency.
Grain drying is a key link in the process of food production, and it is also an important part of the mechanization of grain production. Mechanized drying technology artificially controls temperature and humidity, and reduces the moisture content of grain without compromising the quality of grain. In recent years, in order to improve food quality, storability and processability, accelerate the industrialization of agriculture, intensification, and modernization, Jiangxi Province scientifically and reasonably determines the amount of subsidies for grain dryers. Increase subsidies for grain dryers, guide local governments to build large-scale grain farmers and farmers' professional cooperatives to promote the construction of drying centers, and play a demonstration effect. Under the guidance and support of the national agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, Jiangxi farmers purchase machines. The enthusiasm of the machine has been significantly improved, and the number of subsidized machines for grain dryers has achieved 'five consecutive increases'. In the past three years, the number of subsidies for grain dryers in Jiangxi Province was 1,331 units (sets), 2,795 units (sets), and 3,971 units (sets). , showing a gratifying momentum of jumping growth. Last year, the amount of mechanized drying grain in Jiangxi Province reached 8.64 million tons.
At present, the drying rate of grain machinery in Jiangxi Province has reached 40.65%, which is nearly double the national average mechanical drying ratio. It is at the leading level in the country. Mechanical drying of grain makes it unnecessary for farmers to look at the grain, which is very good for ensuring food quality. Big help.
