By 2020 China's agricultural comprehensive mechanization will reach 65%

The National Development and Reform Commission recently issued the "Opinions of the State Council on Promoting Sound and Rapid Development of Agricultural Mechanization and Agricultural Machinery Industry." According to the Opinions, by 2020, the total power of China's agricultural machinery will increase to about 1.2 billion kilowatts. In the agricultural machinery industry, a number of large-scale enterprise groups with international competitiveness and brand influence will be formed, and the overall level of development of the agricultural machinery industry will be achieved. Promote. The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that the introduction of the "Opinions" means that efforts should be made to solve the constraints existing in the development of agricultural machinery.

Compared with the relevant documents issued in the past, the "Opinions" put forward some new policy contents in support policies.

The first is to increase financial support. We will continue to implement the subsidy policy for agricultural machinery purchases, and appropriately support the purchase of large-horsepower tractors and large-scale sprinklers and other agricultural machinery that are not yet mass-produced domestically in suitable regions, gradually increase the support for the promotion of major mechanization of agricultural mechanization, and implement pilot subsidy for agricultural machinery operations in suitable regions, and actively carry out The agricultural machinery insurance business will increase the capacity of the agricultural machinery industry in technological innovation, the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and the input of technology and intelligence. The investment in technological transformation of the state shall give tilt and support to the technological transformation of the agricultural machinery industry.

The second is to improve the subsidy system for purchasing agricultural machinery. Again, it is a practical implementation of the preferential tax and fee policy. Further implement the pre-tax deduction policy for corporate R&D investment. For the new and large-horsepower agricultural machinery equipment and products supported by the production countries, it is really necessary to import key spare parts and raw materials, and they are exempt from customs duties and import value-added tax. The preferential policies for income tax shall be applied to agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises that are among the state's key high-tech enterprises. The wholesale and retail agricultural machinery is exempt from the VAT policy.

Reading extension

The Opinions proposed two stages of development goals for the promotion of agricultural mechanization and the development of the agricultural machinery industry.

Goal 1: By 2015, the total power of agricultural machinery will reach 1 billion kilowatts, and the level of comprehensive mechanization of major crops will reach 55%; a coordinated and effective independent innovation platform for the agricultural machinery industry will be established to form a number of products and technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and some products To reach the international advanced level.

Goal 2: By 2020, the total agricultural machinery power will stabilize at 1.2 billion kilowatts, and the level of comprehensive mechanization for the main crops will reach 65%; the agricultural machinery industry will have a technological innovation system that will form a number of large-scale enterprise groups with international competitiveness and brand influence. Basically build a modern agricultural circulation system and improve the agricultural service network. The purpose of the goal is to accelerate the healthy development of the agricultural machinery industry.
