Agricultural product processing machinery and equipment technology innovation

The Ministry of Agriculture recently issued the "Circular on Accelerating the Mechanization of Primary Processing of Agricultural Products", and proposed to vigorously promote the scientific and technological innovation of machinery and equipment for the preliminary processing of agricultural products and continue to increase the subsidy for the processing of agricultural products.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, since the beginning of the new century, China's agricultural product processing industry has maintained a momentum of rapid development. It has become a basic and pillar industry with high industry correlation, wide industry coverage, and strong driving force. However, on the whole, China's agricultural product processing industry is still large but not strong. In particular, the degree of mechanization of primary processing is low, and most of them are manual operations. This results in low production efficiency, unstable product quality, serious waste, and environmental pollution. It has become an important factor that restricts the healthy development of the industry. Accelerating the promotion of primary processing mechanization of agricultural products is of great significance in reducing production costs, increasing economic efficiency, and ensuring product quality, comprehensively improving the level of development of the agricultural product processing industry, and promoting the increase of income for agricultural efficiency farmers.

The Ministry of Agriculture emphasizes that it is necessary to focus on technological innovation and promotion and application, and to achieve major improvements in the ability to innovate and promote the use of major key technological innovations and equipments for agricultural machinery. The management departments of agricultural product processing industries at all levels should in-depth understand the local mechanization of primary agricultural products processing, and should actively organize scientific research units, universities and equipment manufacturing enterprises to carry out joint research and integration efforts on key machinery and equipment with the most urgent and influential primary needs. , Crack a number of technical bottlenecks and develop a number of mechanical equipment. Efforts should be made to cultivate a group of leading talents and innovative teams in technological innovation of agricultural products processing machinery and equipment. It is necessary to expedite the screening and promotion of a number of mature agricultural product processing machinery and equipment that meet the actual needs of production, organize regions where conditions permit to carry out trials for mechanization of initial processing of agricultural products, establish professional service teams, strengthen technical training services, and continuously improve the mechanization of primary processing of agricultural products.

At the same time, the departments of agricultural mechanization at all levels must continue to increase subsidies, speed up research and development of specific measures that are in line with local conditions, and include the locally-acquired primary processing machinery and equipment for locally-acquired agricultural products into the province's subsidies for the purchase of farm machinery, and determine the amount of subsidies scientifically and rationally. To meet the subsidy needs and continuously improve the machinery and equipment capabilities for the initial processing of agricultural products.
