Variety and performance improvement | The sales of combine harvesters in Tibet will increase by 4.2 times in 2022

Tibet is rich in highland barley, which is planted around 5 million mu all year round. How mechanized is the harvest of highland barley in Tibet? What changes have taken place in 2022? This time, we will look at the huge changes in 2022 from the subsidy sales of combine harvesters in Tibet.

1、 Subsidy sales of combine harvesters in Tibet in 2021

A year ago, on January 15, 2022, the old farmer published an article entitled "[Market demand] Your combine is good, come to Tibet to harvest highland barley" in the headline today. The article analyzed the demand of the Tibetan combine market, and believed that the highland barley harvest in Tibet is similar to the inland barley harvest, which can be harvested with wheeled or crawler grain combine harvesters.

At that time, in 2021, Tibet subsidized the sale of 81 crawler-type full-feed combine harvesters, and there were 45 miniature harvesters with a feeding capacity of only 0.6 kg. In 2021, Tibet also subsidized and sold more than 8100 windrowers and 1630 threshers. This shows that the highland barley harvest in Tibet is still in the stage of mechanized staged harvest, and the market demand for combine harvesters is very urgent.

2、 Subsidy sales of combine harvesters in Tibet will increase by 4.2 times in 2022

According to the publicity data of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, the sales of grain combine harvesters subsidized by Tibet in 2022 increased by 4.2 times over the previous year, from 81 in 2021 to 439 in 2022! In addition to the rapid growth in quantity, the product structure and performance of combine harvesters sold in Tibet have also undergone great changes.

1. The product structure of Tibet subsidized combine harvesters has been improved

According to the data, in 2021, only 7 enterprises subsidized the sale of combine harvesters in Tibet, all of which were crawler combine harvesters, and more than half were small and micro harvesters. In 2022, 14 enterprises subsidized the sale of combine harvesters in Tibet, double the number in 2021.

From the perspective of these 14 enterprises, the new enterprises are mainly the manufacturers of wheel combine harvesters, thus adding 8-10 kg of large wheel models in the Tibet combine market.

2. Reasons for the rapid growth of combine harvesters in Tibet

One of the reasons for the rapid growth of combine harvesters in Tibet is the urgent need to change the segmented harvest to the combined harvest of highland barley in Tibet.

Segmental mechanized harvesting is to use a windrower to cut the highland barley, then manually bundle it and transport it to the yard for threshing with a thresher, and then clean the threshed grain. The whole process is laborious and time-consuming, which also increases the grain loss during harvest.

The use of combine harvester can complete the whole process from harvesting, threshing to cleaning at one time, which not only saves time and labor, but also minimizes the loss of grain and increases production and income.

The second reason for the rapid growth of combine harvesters in Tibet is the high subsidy for the purchase of combine harvesters in Tibet.

The amount of subsidy for machine purchase directly affects the enthusiasm of farmers. In order to accelerate the development of combine harvesters in the Tibet Autonomous Region, Tibet has increased the provincial-level additional subsidies for the purchase of combine harvesters by farmers' professional cooperatives and other units since June 2022. For example, in addition to the central subsidy of 55020 yuan, the provincial subsidy of 36680 yuan can also be added for the purchase of a wheeled grain combine with a feeding capacity of 7 kg/s or more. The total subsidy for the purchase of such a combine can reach 91700 yuan.

The adjustment and growth of combine harvesters in Tibet has naturally come into being due to the actual demand and the support of government subsidies.

3、 Sales volume and price of five best-selling brands of Tibet combine harvesters in 2022

In 2022, the top five brands that subsidize the sale of combine harvesters in Tibet sold 332 sets, accounting for 75.63% of the market.

1. Weichai Lovol combine harvester

In 2022, Weichai Lovol subsidized the sale of 170 combine harvesters in Tibet, accounting for 38.72% of the market, ranking first. Combine harvesters sold are both wheeled and tracked.

The price of Weichai Lovol Gushen 4LZ-8E2 wheeled combine is 175-20500 yuan, with a maximum subsidy of 91700 yuan. 4LZ-5G3 crawler full-feed combine is 146-15300 yuan, with a maximum subsidy of 67833 yuan.

2. China Yituo combine harvester

In 2022, YTO and its Luoyang Zhongshou will subsidize the sale of 48 combine harvesters in Tibet, all of which are wheeled.

The price of China YTO Dongfanghong 4LZ-9B1 wheeled combine is 185-19900 yuan, with a maximum subsidy of 91700 yuan.

3. Zhonglian agricultural machinery combine harvester

Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery subsidizes the sale of 46 combine harvesters in Tibet, all of which are wheeled.

The price of Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery Guwang 4LZ-8B1 wheeled combine is 1700-18800 yuan, with a maximum subsidy of 91700 yuan.

4. Zoomlion Zhejiang combine harvester

5. Sichuan Gangyi 4LZ-0.6 miniature combine harvester

In 2022, Sichuan Gangyi subsidized the sale of 33 combine harvesters in Tibet, all of which were minicomputers.

The price of Sichuan Gangyi 4LZ-0.6 micro-grain combine harvester is 27-3000 yuan, and the subsidy is 9000 yuan.

In addition to the five brands mentioned above, the enterprises that subsidize the sale of combine harvesters in Tibet include 28 Wode agricultural machinery, 26 Jindafeng, 13 Juming in Shandong, 12 Zoomlion in Zhengzhou, 10 Jiaozuo Taili, 7 Taizhou Changfa, 5 Lekeshui, 4 John Deer and 2 Changzhou Dongfeng.

As the sales of combine harvesters in Tibet soared, the sales of windrowers and threshers subsidies also plummeted. The number of windrowers decreased from 8100 last year to more than 740, and the number of threshers decreased from 1360 to less than 790.

It can be said that 2022 is a year of leapfrog development of Tibetan highland barley joint harvest. At this rate of development, in two or three years, Tibet's highland barley will be fully harvested, and Tibetan farmers will be free from the heavy physical labor of highland barley harvest!
