1、 Classification and subsidy varieties of field monitoring and operational monitoring equipment

People are talking about digital agriculture and unmanned farms. In fact, field monitoring and operation monitoring equipment are the main equipment for digital agriculture and unmanned farms. What are the varieties of field monitoring and operation monitoring equipment, and what varieties are currently subsidized in China?

1. Classification of field monitoring and operational monitoring equipment

According to the new classification standards for agricultural machinery, field monitoring and operation monitoring equipment is classified as the 17th major category of agricultural machinery, which is divided into two subcategories: 1701 field monitoring equipment and 1702 field operation monitoring equipment.

The field monitoring equipment is divided into four categories: 170101 soil nutrient monitoring equipment, 170102 soil moisture monitoring equipment, 170103 crop growth status monitoring equipment, and 170150 other field monitoring equipment.

The field operation monitoring equipment is divided into 7 categories: 170201 monitoring equipment for tillage and land preparation, 170202 monitoring equipment for sowing, 170203 monitoring equipment for field management, 170204 monitoring equipment for harvesting, 170205 auxiliary driving (system) equipment, 170206 automatic driving (system) equipment, and 170250 other field operation monitoring equipment.

2. Current subsidy varieties and amounts for field monitoring and operational monitoring equipment in China

From the public announcement data of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, currently there is only one item of auxiliary driving (system) equipment (hereinafter referred to as "auxiliary driving equipment") subsidized for field monitoring and operation monitoring in China. However, in this category, there are not only Beidou agricultural machinery intelligent terminals worth several thousand yuan, but also agricultural machinery automatic navigation and driving systems worth tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

2、 The number of subsidies for auxiliary driving equipment in various provinces and regions of China in the past two years

1. Number of subsidies for auxiliary driving (system) equipment in 2023

As of June 22, 2023, out of 38 agricultural machinery subsidy accounting provinces and regions in China, 31 have publicly disclosed subsidy data for auxiliary driving equipment, with a total of 67483 auxiliary driving equipment subsidized. Among them, 39270 were purchased in 2023, and the rest were sales from previous years.

From the distribution of provinces and regions, the province with the most subsidies for auxiliary driving equipment in 2023 is Beidahuang Agricultural Reclamation, which reached over 24000 units, accounting for 35.75% of the total amount in the country. Inner Mongolia ranks second with over 8700 units, accounting for 12.92% of the national total. The Xinjiang Autonomous Region has also exceeded 6100 units, and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has exceeded 4200 units. Liaoning and Hunan provinces have over 3000 units, while the other four provinces in the top 10 also have over 2000 units in Jiangsu, Heilongjiang, Hebei, and Gansu.

In 2023, the top 10 provinces and regions will receive subsidies for assisted driving equipment, totaling 60118 units, accounting for 89.09% of the national total.

2. Number of subsidized driving assistance equipment in various provinces and regions of China in 2022

According to the subsidy data for agricultural machinery purchase, in 2022, there were 34 provinces and regions that had published subsidy data for auxiliary driving equipment, with a total subsidy of 80918 units. Among them, 67432 units were sold in 2022, while the rest were sales from previous years.

From the distribution of provinces and regions, the most subsidized driving assistance equipment in 2022 will still be in Beidahuang, with a subsidy amount of 31176 units, accounting for 38.53% of the total national amount. Xinjiang ranks second with 14841 units, accounting for 18.34% of the national total. The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and Jiangdong Province have both exceeded 6000 units, while Inner Mongolia, Hunan, and Hebei have exceeded 5000, 4000, and 3000 units respectively. The remaining three provinces in the top 10, including Gansu, Fujian, and Henan, all exceeded 1000 units.


In 2022, the number of subsidized driving assistance equipment ranked among the top 10 provinces and regions, with a total of 75510 units, accounting for 93.32% of the national total.

3、 The problems and improvement suggestions of subsidies for field monitoring and operational monitoring equipment

Based on the current subsidies for field monitoring and operational monitoring equipment in various provinces and regions, I would like to provide some personal opinions on the existing problems and suggestions.

1. There is a product that does not belong to auxiliary driving equipment

From the current types of subsidized machines and tools for field monitoring and operation monitoring equipment in various provinces and autonomous regions, almost all provinces and autonomous regions have only one item of auxiliary driving equipment in the sub category of field operation monitoring equipment.

In the category of driving aids, the subsidy product publicized by most provinces and regions is "Beidou navigation auto drive system system", and the price is generally about 15000 yuan. Some subsidy products publicized by provinces and regions include names such as "Intelligent Monitoring Terminal for Agricultural Machinery Operation", "Beidou Intelligent Information Agricultural Machinery Terminal", "Beidou Operation Information Collection Terminal", "Agricultural Machinery Internet of Things Terminal", "Intelligent Detector", and "Intelligent Detection System for Full Mechanized Operation", with prices generally ranging from 2000 to 3500 yuan.

Based on the analysis of product names and prices in the announcement of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, there are currently two types of subsidized models. One type is the BeiDou navigation assisted driving (system) device, which merchants refer to as the "BeiDou navigation autonomous driving device" to expand their influence.

Another type of field operation monitoring equipment, mainly used for satellite positioning and recording basic parameters such as uploading operations or driving speed. Compared to the classification standards for new agricultural machinery, this field monitoring equipment is neither monitoring of tillage and land preparation operations, nor monitoring of sowing operations, nor does it belong to monitoring of field management operations or harvesting operations. Therefore, it should belong to other field operation monitoring equipment.

It is recommended that the "work terminal" products be removed from the category of auxiliary driving equipment and classified into other categories of field operation monitoring equipment during subsidy publicity in various provinces and regions.

Meanwhile, auxiliary driving equipment and autonomous driving equipment belong to two different categories. At present, these two types of subsidized products are both referred to as autonomous driving equipment by merchants, while the agricultural machinery department is uniformly classified under the category of auxiliary driving equipment. Should they also be distinguished based on product functions?

2. Timely adjust subsidy policies to maintain the healthy development of the industry

From the current situation, there is a problem of excessive subsidies for field monitoring equipment commonly known as "small boxes" in some provinces and regions. From the current public announcement, Hunan and Fujian have subsidies for this product. Hunan provides a subsidy of 600 yuan per unit, with a subsidy ratio of around 20%; In Fujian, the central subsidy for each unit is 860 yuan, and the provincial subsidy is 570 yuan, totaling 1430 yuan, with a subsidy ratio of over 50%. From the perspective of subsidized product sales prices, products of the same brand and model in Fujian are priced 500 to 800 yuan higher than those in Hunan.

The main components of field monitoring and operation control equipment are electronic components, which are very different from the mechanical structure that agricultural machinery personnel often deal with. The characteristic of electronic components is that once the quantity is increased, the product cost decreases quickly; In addition, electronic components are frequently updated and replaced, and product generations are relatively fast. Therefore, the agricultural machinery management department should keep track of the development of product technology and adjust subsidy policies in a timely manner based on this situation, in order to promote the healthy development of this product industry.

3. New agricultural machinery equipped with auxiliary driving equipment

At present, most agricultural machinery auxiliary driving equipment is equipped with auxiliary driving equipment for previously purchased tractors and other agricultural machinery. With the completion of this part of agricultural machinery installation, auxiliary driving equipment will be added to newly purchased agricultural machinery.

At present, almost all domestic and foreign tractor companies have published data on subsidies for auxiliary driving equipment, but the quantity is not very large, indicating that auxiliary driving equipment is mainly added to newly sold agricultural machinery such as tractors. In the future, auxiliary driving equipment may become standard equipment for tractors and other agricultural machinery in some places, but an additional subsidy will be added when applying for subsidies.

Therefore, when developing and designing agricultural machinery products such as tractors, it is necessary to take into account the overall planning of auxiliary driving equipment or reserve space for auxiliary driving equipment in appropriate locations. At the same time, enterprises should also add institutions and personnel to install auxiliary driving equipment in their sales departments and sales outlets. Personal opinion, for reference only.
