China's agricultural comprehensive mechanization wants to exceed 65% within 5 years

The National Conference on Agricultural Mechanization Technology Promotion held recently by the Ministry of Agriculture has established the goal of the development of the comprehensive mechanization level for agricultural production, cultivation, and harvesting in China: by 2015, the country’s main crop harvesting and comprehensive mechanization level will strive to reach over 65%, providing a powerful force for agricultural modernization. Technological support.

Zhang Taolin, deputy director of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that the agricultural subsidies and other strong agricultural policies greatly mobilized farmers' enthusiasm for purchasing and using agricultural machinery. As of the end of 2010, the total power of agricultural machinery in the country reached 928 million kilowatts, an increase of 35.2% over 2005, and the level of agricultural machinery and equipment has rapidly increased. The level of farmland, sowing and harvest mechanization in agricultural production in China has reached 52.28%, an increase of 16.38 percentage points from 2005, and the comprehensive agricultural production capacity has been significantly enhanced.

According to reports, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the promotion of agricultural machinery technology in China will focus on promoting the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, integration of agricultural machinery, and informationization, in order to promote the increase in production, efficiency, resource conservation, and environment-friendly agricultural machinery. Focus on technology, strengthen promotion system construction, talent team construction, facility condition construction, improve agricultural machinery science and technology innovation capability, technology integration capability, and extension service capability, accelerate results transformation, accelerate the popularization of new agricultural technology, and provide powerful force for agricultural modernization. Technology support.
