Since 2004, the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery has gone through 20 years and has played a positive and important role in promoting the development of agricultural mechanization in China. According to data, as of 2022, China has become a major producer of agricultural machinery in the world, with a total amount of nearly 200 million units (sets) of agricultural equipment and a total power of 1.078 billion kilowatts. The comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvest in China exceeds 72%.
In the twenty years since the implementation of the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, China's agricultural mechanization rate has been continuously increasing. The comprehensive mechanization rate of major crop cultivation and harvest in the country has increased from 32% in 2000 to 72% in 2022, achieving a qualitative leap. Of course, with the continuous improvement of China's agricultural machinery industry and agricultural modernization development level, the demand for agricultural machinery has increased from quantitative to qualitative, entering a stage of high-quality development. In the new era and new goals, the guidance, guidance, and role of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policies will change. 2023 is the last year of the "2021-2023 Implementation Plan for Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy". What changes will be made to the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy in the future? Let's follow the chart and explore a little.

Optimizing machinery and subsidies will become the main theme of implementing agricultural machinery purchase subsidies
The Implementation Plan for Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidies in Hebei Province from 2021 to 2023 clearly states that efforts should be made to highlight independent innovation in agricultural machinery technology in terms of subsidy qualifications. By vigorously carrying out special appraisal of agricultural machinery, we will focus on accelerating the pace of obtaining subsidy qualifications for innovative agricultural machinery products, and include them in the subsidy scope as soon as possible; Open up a green channel for high-end intelligent innovative agricultural machinery products that are temporarily unable to carry out agricultural machinery appraisal, and provide support through pilot subsidies for the purchase of new agricultural machinery products. In terms of subsidy standards, efforts should be made to achieve "some increases and some decreases". Increase the subsidy ratio for rice transplanting (throwing) machines, heavy-duty no-tillage seeders, corn grain harvesters and other weak links in grain production in key areas, and for high-end, duplex, and intelligent agricultural machinery products that are urgently needed for the development of characteristic agriculture in hilly and mountainous areas. Gradually reduce the subsidy standards for wheel tractors and other machinery items or grades that have a significant surplus and relatively backward technology in the region.
It is not difficult to see from this that the focus of subsidies has shifted from settling down and conventional agricultural machinery to high-end agricultural machinery, weak link agricultural machinery, and intelligent agricultural machinery, encouraging innovative agricultural machinery products to obtain subsidy qualifications.
On September 30, 2022, the agricultural machinery management department of Qinghai Province issued a document stating that in accordance with the principle of "optimizing machinery and providing subsidies", provincial-level cumulative subsidies for wheeled tractors will be carried out in Qinghai Province. The provincial cumulative subsidy standard for wheeled tractors will be based on the central subsidy amount and will not exceed 50% of the central subsidy amount.
On July 18, 2022, the agricultural machinery management department in Tibet issued a document stating that it is exploring the work of "optimizing machinery and subsidies" for cumulative subsidized wheeled tractors. For cumulative subsidized wheeled tractor products that have passed the submission review and have been purchased by users before August 31, applications for cumulative subsidies can continue to be accepted and funds can be redeemed according to the procedures.
It can be seen that since 2022, many provinces have launched policies of optimizing machinery and subsidies, with promoting the high-quality development of agricultural machinery and promoting agricultural production efficiency as the main direction of implementing agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, becoming the main theme.
The beginning and progress of the policy of optimizing machines and subsidies
The policy of optimizing machinery and subsidies was first officially proposed in the "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of National Agricultural Mechanization" issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. At that time, the wording was "highlighting the optimization of machinery and subsidies" and "fully exerting the guiding role of policy implementation".
In 2023, the No. 1 central document of the Central Government stressed that: improve the performance evaluation mechanism of agricultural machinery, promote the import and export of subsidized machinery, and optimize machinery and subsidies. At the same time, it also pointed out the main direction for the implementation of future agricultural machinery purchase subsidies.
In the 2023 National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, Liu Jiguo, the Party Secretary and Chairman of China First Group Corporation, proposed the "Suggestions on Accelerating the Implementation of" Optimizing Machinery and Supplementing "for Agricultural Machinery. He stated that there are still problems in the agricultural machinery industry, such as low level of agricultural equipment industry, urgent need to strengthen product research and development manufacturing capabilities, and a shortage of large-scale high-end intelligent products for domestic enterprises. He suggested increasing the classification and grading of intelligent tractors with independent intellectual property rights for fully automatic transmissions of 200 horsepower and above, with the direction of "optimizing machines and compensation", increasing subsidy standards, and encouraging enterprises to research and apply weak equipment and "bottleneck" technology.
At present, various provinces are trying to implement the policy of optimizing machines and subsidies, gradually reducing the subsidy amount for products such as tractors. Anhui Province has reduced the subsidy proportion for tractors to 15% in 2023. Inner Mongolia has made it clear for the first time that wheeled tractors with a power range below 50 horsepower will be adjusted to a subsidy catalog.
Upgrade of credit certification for agricultural machinery purchase subsidies
With the promotion of the preferential machinery and subsidy policy on the agenda, agricultural machinery purchase subsidies have put forward new demands for agricultural machinery appraisal standards and credit certification.
At this year's two sessions, Liu Jiguo proposed to upgrade the factory condition audit standards for existing tractor production enterprises, and include evaluations with independent intellectual property rights, research and development capabilities, experimental testing capabilities, manufacturing process guarantee capabilities, intelligent applications, and other aspects. He encouraged enterprises to increase research and development investment and gradually achieve balanced development of the entire domestic agricultural machinery industry chain.
The voluntary review of factory production conditions launched since 2022 has provided a channel for subsidies for excellent machines. Factory condition audit standards are becoming a necessary condition for implementing the policy of optimizing machines and subsidies.
It is understood that Tibet was the first to explicitly provide additional subsidies to enterprises that have passed the voluntary review of tractor production conditions. Qinghai also stated in the invention article that for enterprises that have passed the factory condition audit, wheeled tractors will be given an additional 50% provincial cumulative subsidy. Currently, most agricultural machinery production enterprises, especially tractor production enterprises, are actively applying for voluntary review and certification of production conditions. Recently, outstanding enterprises such as Yingxuan Heavy Industry and Shandong Humwo Agricultural Equipment have successively passed the audit, becoming representatives of the second batch of factory production conditions voluntary audit.
Attitudes and opinions of agricultural machinery enterprises towards the policy of optimizing machinery and subsidies
The comprehensive implementation of the preferential subsidy policy has been put on the agenda. How do agricultural machinery enterprises view this? Will this be an opportunity or a challenge for them?
As a leading agricultural machinery enterprise in China, China Yituo has played an indispensable role and made important contributions in promoting the development of China's agricultural machinery industry at various historical stages, and is no exception in promoting the high-quality development of agricultural machinery. The proposal made by Liu Jiguo, the helmsman, at the Two Sessions, on accelerating the implementation of "optimizing and supplementing agricultural machinery" is the best proof. He believes that the policy of optimizing machinery and subsidies will play an important role in enhancing the enthusiasm of agricultural machinery production enterprises for independent innovation, accelerating the promotion and application of high-quality agricultural machinery in the market, and has positive significance in solving the problems of weak equipment and "bottleneck" technology.
Chen Mingge, General Manager of Yingxuan Agricultural Equipment, stated that the implementation of the policy of preferential machinery and subsidies is even more an opportunity for Yingxuan. They are actively implementing this policy and have great confidence in Yingxuan's products. He said, "The preferential policies for machines and subsidies provide users with a better opportunity to understand and understand the Yingxuan tractor
Although the policy of optimizing machinery and subsidies is currently being promoted and implemented in the field of tractors, other agricultural machinery enterprises cannot stay out of it. Most enterprises believe that the implementation of the policy of optimizing machines and subsidies has more advantages than disadvantages, and is currently a favorable policy for promoting high-quality development of the agricultural industry.
As the most promising enterprise for high-speed rice transplanters, Xinglaihe has always focused on innovative development and has strong independent research and development capabilities. General Manager Li Bojun said, "The development goals and strategies of Xinglaihe are consistent and consistent with the goals of the agricultural machinery optimization and subsidy policy. It can be said that the optimization and subsidy policy will be the assistance of Xinglaihe's development. What we need to do is to adapt to changes with immutability
The policy of optimizing machinery and subsidies has met the conditions for implementation and is also an inevitable choice for the development of the agricultural machinery industry and the development of agricultural machinery towards the path of quality.
