In 2016, the growth rate of agricultural machinery industry showed a weak situation

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] In 2016, the growth rate of agricultural machinery industry added value was 7.7%, down 0.7% from the previous year, and the growth rate dropped significantly. In 2016, the total revenue of the main business of agricultural machinery enterprises above designated size was 451.639 billion yuan, an increase of 5.8% over the same period of the previous year and 1.64 percentage points lower than the growth rate of the national machinery industry. The total profit of agricultural machinery enterprises above designated size was 25.524 billion yuan, an increase of 351 million yuan over the previous year, an increase of only 1.39%, which was 4.15 percentage points lower than the growth rate of the national machinery industry. In 2016, the growth rate of income and profit of the agricultural machinery industry showed a weak state, reaching the bottom of the decade.

In 2016, the growth rate of agricultural machinery industry showed a weak situation

In 2016, the output of major agricultural machinery products has risen and fallen, tractors and harvesters continue to decline, and agricultural and sideline products processing machinery has experienced significant growth. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, 62,979 large tractors were produced, down 18.92%; 566,914 units were produced, down 6.59%; 1355,299 units were produced, down 2.85; and corn harvesters were 95,033 units, down 24.17%; Machinery production increased by 5.02%; component production increased by 6.26%; and agricultural and sideline food processing machinery increased by 11.98%.

New products in 2016 have played a positive role in stabilizing growth. Grain dryer production of 14,000 units, an increase of more than 30%; baler output value increased by 11.60%; silage harvester and other growth is also relatively fast.

According to the statistics of the China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, the output of tractors in the industry's backbone enterprises fell by 9.0%. Among them, the output of small four-wheel tractors decreased by 15.58%; the output of walking tractors decreased by 16.55%; the output of large and medium-sized tractors decreased by 7.25%. At the same time as the output of tractors declined, the horsepower segment further increased. The fast-growing tractor is still a high-powered tractor. In 2016, the 150-horsepower large-scale tractors grew rapidly, providing strong support for the transformation of agricultural production methods.

According to the statistics of the China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, the industry's backbone enterprises produced 46,000 self-propelled wheel grain harvesters, a decrease of 11.12% over the previous year. In 2016, the 7 kg feed horizontal axis grain harvester outperformed the growth rate by more than 300%. First, the wheeled grain harvester industry has a very high concentration, concentrated in five enterprises, and their product structure adjustment has achieved great results. Second, the 7 kg wheat machine product upgrade work is solid, and it has been welcomed by users when it is put into the market, and it has quickly become a wheat harvest. The main model.

The corn combine harvester showed a cliff-like decline in 2016. In 2016, the backbone enterprises produced 41,000 corn machines, a decrease of 43.54%, and sold 59,000 corn combine harvesters, a year-on-year decrease of 13.78%. The piggyback corn harvester basically exited the market.

The output of paddy field machinery has increased significantly. In 2016, the backbone enterprises produced 105,600 crawler-type rice harvesters, an increase of 29.58%. Small rice harvesters adapted to the hilly areas of the south have seen rapid growth. Due to the demand for rice straw treatment and the changes of users, the semi-feeding rice harvester also showed significant growth in 2016, and the output increased by 79.83%. The rice transplanter produced 60,000 units, an increase of 11% over the previous year.

In 2016, the export value of agricultural machinery industry was 29.332 billion yuan, which was the same as the previous year. The backbone enterprises of the industry exported more than 18,928 large and medium-sized tractors, down 12.54% year-on-year. Among them, the enterprises that export more tractors are Lovol Heavy Industries.

In 2016, the investment of agricultural machinery enterprises continued to decline. On the one hand, it reflected that the industry was in the stage of slow down development. On the one hand, it also reflected that the investment of enterprises was more cautious, and more funds were used for equipment upgrade and manufacturing capacity improvement. The industry completed fixed assets investment of 157.109 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of only 2.44%, much lower than the previous years. However, the state budget invested 977 million yuan, an increase of 51.37% over the same period of last year. The government's financial support for the agricultural machinery industry continued to grow. In 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission gave relatively strong support to power shift tractors, cotton pickers, and high moisture content corn kernel harvesters.

In 2016, the agricultural machinery market in some regions was sluggish and sales were not prosperous; the sales of corn harvesters and other products fell sharply; the capital chain of individual agricultural machinery enterprises was broken and could not be sustained. The industry encountered new problems in structural adjustment. However, the overall trend of mechanization in agricultural production is that only relying on mechanization can reduce the cost of agricultural production and improve the international competitiveness of agricultural production. The strong promotion of mechanization in agricultural production will provide opportunities and support for the sustainable and steady development of the agricultural machinery industry. We are full of confidence.
