According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on December 2, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs attached great importance to the subsidy of Henan Saiteng Agricultural Machinery in Jiangsu and Guangxi to deceive rice side deep fertilizer applicators, and immediately instructed Henan, Jiangsu, Guangxi and other provinces (regions) Agricultural and Rural Departments to set up a working group to carry out verification as soon as possible. On December 2, the working group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs went to relevant provinces to supervise and guide the verification and handling work.
CCTV's "Economic Half Hour" program reported on the evening of December 1 that in 2022, the first financial arrangement of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy funds will be 21.2 billion yuan. Among them, the subsidy for the purchase of agricultural machinery is an important policy to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers and rich farmers. But in some places, some people have "crooked thoughts" and regard this subsidy as a "cash cow".
In mid-October, all parts of Jiangsu have entered the season of autumn harvest and autumn sowing. But in some farmer's homes in Daying Township, Xinghua City, the fertilizer applicator that should have been used in the field was left unused in the warehouse.
Villagers told reporters that the machines were sent by local agricultural machinery dealers and had been sitting in the warehouse for more than two years. The manufacturer shown on the nameplate of the fertilizer applicator is Henan Saiteng Agricultural Machinery***, and the production date is June 2021.

Growers told reporters that this kind of rice side deep fertilizer application machine can rotate, but the efficiency is very low, and often stuck, so these machines are shelved, and everyone even calls this machine "zombie agricultural machinery".
In Dantu District, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, an agricultural machinery ***, many fertilizer applicators marked with the words "Saiteng Agricultural Machinery" are also used for "activities". The salesperson claimed: "The 'activity' is for state subsidies. This machine is given to you, you don't have to pay for it, the subsidy is to your personal account, and you give me the subsidy. ”
In this regard, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs pointed out that Henan Saiteng Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. in Jiangsu and Guangxi deceived the subsidy of rice side deep fertilizer applicator, reflecting the collusion of illegal enterprises and relevant personnel to illegally obtain subsidy funds for the purchase and application of agricultural machinery, and carried out suspected violations of laws and regulations.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs attaches great importance to it, and immediately instructed the agricultural and rural departments of Henan, Jiangsu, Guangxi and other provinces (regions) to set up a working group as soon as possible, jointly with the public security, market supervision and other departments to quickly carry out verification, strictly investigate and punish the enterprises and relevant personnel involved in accordance with laws and regulations, and disclose the results to the public in a timely mannerThe joint discipline inspection department will investigate the verification and inspection of grassroots subsidized products, and find that the problems will be seriously dealt with in accordance with law and discipline. On December 2, the working group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs went to relevant provinces to supervise and guide the verification and handling work.
In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will supervise and guide the relevant provinces to carry out serious verification and processing, and will also organize and carry out special rectification work on rice side deep fertilizer applicator subsidies nationwide, and further promote the implementation of various measures such as verification and identification of subsidy products, resolutely crack down on violations of laws and regulations, and resolutely implement "zero tolerance" for such problems.
