China's Science and Technology Promote the Leap-forward Development of Agricultural Mechanization

At present, the level of comprehensive mechanization for farming in China has exceeded 50%, and agricultural production has entered a new historical stage in which machinery operations are dominant. What is the next direction of the development of agricultural mechanization? What are the challenges? After discussion, the deputies agreed that the greatest potential and hope for the development of agricultural mechanization is to make progress in science and technology, achieve a new round of leapfrog development in agricultural mechanization, and scientific and technological progress bear important historical missions.

Judging from the current situation of the development of China's agricultural machinery, scientific and technological research and development is undoubtedly a short board and bottleneck. Deputy Wang Jinfu, general manager of Chery Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., said: “At present, the core competitiveness of China's independent brand manufacturing industry is generally not strong, with low and medium-end excess capacity and fierce competition, and many high-end industries are firmly controlled by foreign brands. At the same time, in terms of key components and core technologies, foreign brands have long been stuck with their necks.

Ren Hongbin, chairman of China National Machinery Industry Corporation, also very much agrees with this view. “Manufacturing companies must insist on quality growth. At this stage, manufacturing companies should change their growth methods, and they must change from scale expansion to technological progress and management innovation. Drive its endogenous growth, that is, the real quality growth."

“Now the most willing to invest in R&D is large and medium-sized enterprises, but often these companies invest a lot of manpower and material resources. When new products such as R&D are launched, they will quickly be counterfeited by other companies, and because there is no R&D cost, the latter’s products may instead The price is lower and it sells better. This has seriously dampened the enthusiasm of corporate R&D.” Hu Jiansheng, Director of the Agricultural Machinery Division of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region pointed out candidly the issue of insufficient protection of intellectual property in the field of agricultural machinery. “So, It is imperative to take effective measures to strengthen self-discipline in the industry and vigorously create an atmosphere of respect for innovation and respect for talented people."

At present, the lack of integration of farm machinery and agronomy has severely restricted the development of agricultural mechanization. “China has a vast territory and complex topography, and the cultivation techniques of the same crop in different regions may differ, so the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy is particularly important. At the same time, the development of agricultural machinery must also proceed from the actual production situation, aiming at the situation in different regions. Machine tools 'fine-tune'." Hu Jiansheng said.

Regarding how to solve the problem of agro-machinery integration, the representative of Yu Xuewen, chairman of Gengxiang Tea Co., Ltd. suggested that the state should increase capital investment in agricultural technology and machinery R&D production, and focus on breaking technical difficulties and difficulties to produce practical and effective machinery and equipment; The organic research, production and use units of agricultural machinery are organically bundled together to truly realize the “production, learning, and research” route.

Yu Xuewen stated that talents are crucial to the development of agricultural machinery. He proposed to further improve the treatment of research personnel in agricultural machinery and called for scientific personnel to go deep into the grassroots and go deep into the enterprise. At the same time, he also proposed that we should accelerate the construction of rural infrastructure, strengthen the integration of agricultural and rural resources such as land, and create conditions for the further improvement of the level of mechanization.
