It is imperative to improve the quality of domestic large agricultural machinery

  Under the general trend of accelerated development of large-scale land, new agricultural business entities such as cooperatives and family farms have adopted large-scale agricultural machinery operations to reduce costs and increase efficiency and improve grain planting efficiency. At present, what domestic agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises need to do is to do a good job in products, win the market with product quality, and let farmers buy and use at ease.

   

  Recently, when I investigated in Northeast China, I found that large agricultural machinery and equipment are welcomed by grain farmers because of their high operation efficiency and strong market demand. Northeast China is the "great granary of China" and a place for large-scale agricultural machinery at home and abroad. However, the performance of some domestic large agricultural machinery is unstable, which affects the operation efficiency and quality, and is difficult to win the favor of users. Domestic agricultural machinery urgently needs to improve product quality and performance, better win the trust of users and stabilize its market position.

   

  With the advancement of urbanization, China's rural labor force is decreasing, and the problem of "who will farm the land" is becoming increasingly prominent. Improving the level of agricultural mechanization will help alleviate the problem. In 2020, the comprehensive mechanization level of agricultural farming, planting and harvesting in China will exceed 70%, and the comprehensive mechanization rates of wheat, rice and corn will exceed 95%, 85% and 90% respectively, providing strong support for successive bumper harvests of grain. However, there are still many shortcomings in double cropping rice planting, grain drying in grain producing areas and mechanization in Hilly and mountainous areas, which limits the high-quality development of comprehensive mechanization in the whole process of grain production.

   

  Under the general trend of accelerated development of large-scale land, new agricultural business entities such as cooperatives and family farms have adopted large-scale agricultural machinery operations to reduce costs and increase efficiency and improve grain planting efficiency. The operation efficiency of large agricultural machinery is high. The mechanical operation efficiency of a six row large planter can be three times higher than that of a two row planter, which is equivalent to saving 2 agricultural machinery hands, 2 tractors and 2 planters. If the daily salary of one agricultural manipulator is 300 yuan, reducing two agricultural manipulators can save 600 yuan of labor cost a day. If the operation time of agricultural machinery is 30 days a year, one six row planter saves 18000 yuan of labor cost than one two row planter.

   

  In practice, the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery plays a guiding role in the agricultural machinery market. Since 2018, the state has increased subsidies for the purchase of high-end machines and tools, intelligent equipment, including machines and tools required for the production of major agricultural products such as grain, as well as green and efficient equipment such as subsoiling and land preparation, returning straw to the field and leaving the field, which has promoted the promotion of large-scale agricultural machinery. Moreover, the state explicitly includes imported agricultural machinery into the scope of subsidies, which is conducive to promoting fair competition of agricultural machinery at home and abroad and allowing farmers to get real benefits.

   

  Driven by the market demand and the purchase subsidy policy of agricultural machinery, domestic large agricultural machinery has made great achievements in R & D and manufacturing technology, quality and appearance design, won a place in the large-scale high-end agricultural machinery market, and changed the situation that imported agricultural machinery has monopolized the high-end agricultural machinery market for a long time. However, compared with imported agricultural machinery, the core technologies of large domestic agricultural machinery, especially the core technologies and key parts such as engine, gearbox, electro-hydraulic system, axle and cab, still rely on imports, and the reliability and applicability of machines and tools need to be further improved.

   

  Product quality is the key to market competition. From the perspective of user experience, they pay more attention to the quality of agricultural machinery and the stable and unstable performance. However, some domestic agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises habitually use low-cost competition to seize the market and pay insufficient attention to product quality. After some new agricultural machinery products are put on the market, even if they win the market temporarily, if the quality is not qualified and the performance is unstable, they will eventually lose their reputation and lose the market. At present, what domestic agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises need to do is to do a good job in products, win the market with product quality, and let farmers buy and use at ease.

   

  Improving the quality of agricultural machinery is not a day's work, nor can it be solved by shouting slogans. The state needs to maintain strategic concentration, do a good job in the planning of agricultural machinery industry, strengthen the R & D investment in large-scale agricultural machinery, and point out the direction for the development of agricultural machinery industry. Agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises and scientific research institutions should constantly improve the R & D level and manufacturing capacity of agricultural machinery, strive to fully master the reliability technology of core agricultural machinery devices such as engine and gearbox as soon as possible, improve the quality and performance stability of large agricultural machinery products, and use information and intelligent technology to improve the manufacturing level of agricultural machinery.

   

  Improving the quality of domestic large-scale agricultural machinery is a systematic project. If the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy is not enough, the adaptability of variety breeding, cultivation system, postpartum processing and mechanized production is poor, or the construction of basic conditions suitable for mechanization lags behind, the operation quality of large-scale agricultural machinery will be affected. This requires government departments, enterprises and scientific research institutions to strengthen cooperation and coordination, promote the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, mechanization and informatization, promote large-scale land management, strengthen the construction of high-standard farmland, improve the operation quality of agricultural machinery, and promote the development of agricultural machinery and equipment industry to high quality.
