Breaking the bottleneck to the development of a powerful country in agricultural equipment manufacturing

The 10th China Agricultural Machinery Forum and the 8th Asian Agricultural Machinery Summit jointly organized by the China Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association, the Ministry of Agriculture's Agricultural Machinery Testing and Appraisal Station, the Ministry of Agriculture's Agricultural Mechanization Technology General Station, and the China Agricultural Machinery Guide were held in Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. The people from the fields of agricultural machinery management, manufacturing, distribution, scientific research, education, supervision and other fields gathered together to experience the wisdom and ideas from elites in different fields, share the sparks and radiance from the collision of ideas, and depict the development of the Chinese agricultural machinery industry together. bright future.

For today's China, the development of agricultural equipment has become a general trend. At present, China is in a critical period of transition from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture, and urgently needs modern agricultural equipment. As a large producer of agricultural machinery, China is also eager to become a strong country in agricultural equipment manufacturing. However, in the process of developing modern agricultural equipment and advancing into a powerful nation of agricultural equipment manufacturing, we are facing three major development bottlenecks.

The first is the bottleneck of technology and products. In contrast, it can be found that the agricultural machinery and equipment products of developed countries generally have the characteristics of large scale, complete sets of equipment, smart comfort, and high efficiency. On the other hand, China has always focused on small-scale agricultural machinery and field work machinery. The technical content and production efficiency are low, and technological gaps and product structural conflicts are prominent. They do not meet the needs of modern agriculture and restrict the transformation of the industry. It can be said that the technical level of China's agricultural machinery products is only comparable to the international level in the 1970s and 1980s, with high energy consumption and low emission levels.

Second, manufacturing and management bottlenecks. There is a gap of about 30 years between the level of manufacturing and management of agricultural machinery in China and the international level. Insufficient investment, outdated equipment, and backward technology lead to low production efficiency. The traditional concept leads to backward management methods.

Finally, the bottleneck of the industry structure. Looking at developed countries in Europe and America, the five major agricultural machinery manufacturing companies have occupied 70% of the market share of tractors and 90% of the market share of combine harvesters. The degree of concentration is very high. Of the 10,000 agricultural machinery companies in China, only 2,635 are large-scale enterprises. The large number of enterprises, low production concentration, and serious and vicious competition at low-level repeated construction have seriously plagued China's agricultural machinery and equipment to become bigger and stronger.

Through the analysis of the above issues, it is not difficult to see that in the next few years, the development of agricultural machinery industry in China will focus on:

First, optimize the product structure to meet the needs of agricultural restructuring. Priority should be given to the development of technical equipment to ensure the safety and efficiency of grain and cotton, the protection of technological equipment for sustainable agricultural development, the promotion of technical equipment for the adjustment of agricultural structure, and the improvement of complete sets of technical equipment for the production of agricultural products and food, the automation of agricultural machinery, information and intelligent technologies. equipment. Focus on the development of 180-230 horsepower tractors and their associated implements, energy-saving and environment-friendly medium-horsepower tractors, multifunctional general-purpose high-performance combine harvesters, rice combine harvesters and high-speed rice transplanters, corn combine harvesters, fiber crop combine harvesters, energy, Feed, sugarcane and other crop combine harvesters, large-scale self-propelled sprinkler and major agricultural product processing complete sets of equipment and other products. In scientific research projects, the following fields should be tilted: High horsepower tractors supporting energy-saving and environmentally friendly diesel engine electronically controlled injection technology, fault detection and work performance detection technology, power shift and CVT transmission technology, electro-hydraulic automatic control technology, closed-core load Sensing hydraulic lifting technology, research on key components of large horsepower tractor supporting agricultural machinery, research on main components of efficient universal grain harvesting machinery, loss monitoring technology, electro-hydraulic control technology, hydrostatic drive technology, reliability technology of agricultural machinery, preservation of agricultural products and storage Transport technology, agricultural product drying engineering technology and functional components of agricultural products and hazardous residue detection technology. In addition, it is necessary to vigorously strengthen key components of large horsepower tractors for agricultural machinery, large and medium-horsepower energy-saving and environmentally friendly diesel engines, hydrostatic drives, power shift transmissions, electro-hydraulic automatic control systems and originals, and closed-center load sensing hydraulic lifting devices. Development of key components such as the front axle of large angle tractors.

Second, improve core competitiveness and achieve industrial upgrading. Strengthen the technological transformation and introduce advanced equipment; speed up the construction of innovative platforms, increase modern experimental testing equipment; promote advanced manufacturing technologies and improve product quality; push forward the construction of information systems and adopt modern management techniques.

Third, optimize the industrial structure and form a rational layout. Accelerate the progress of reform, promote mergers and reorganizations of enterprises, practise 3-5 large-scale leading enterprise groups with strong international competitiveness, cultivate a group of "specialized special" SMEs, and use geographical advantages to form a number of industrial clusters, reflecting the cluster effect .

The realization of the above goals is inseparable from the scientific and rigorous and practical development strategy. It includes: open independent innovation of science and technology development strategy, comprehensive promotion of modern manufacturing industry, continuous improvement strategy, actively cultivate brand strategy of own brand, assisting Strong structural optimization strategy, global market expansion strategy and people-oriented poly talent strategy. Only in this way can China's agricultural machinery industry be successfully transformed, and it will continue to advance into the ranks of the world's strongest countries in agricultural machinery and equipment.
