Agricultural machinery is an important material basis for the development of modern agriculture, and its development level is directly related to the efficiency of agricultural production and the quality of agricultural products. In recent years, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the acceleration of agricultural modernization, China's agricultural machinery has developed rapidly and achieved remarkable results. This article will focus on the current situation and development trend of China's agricultural machinery development.
First, the development status of agricultural machinery.
1.The total amount of agricultural machinery and equipment continues to grow.
With the increasing attention and support of the state to agricultural mechanization, the total amount of agricultural machinery and equipment in China continues to grow. According to statistics, by the end of 2020, the total power of agricultural machinery in the country reached 1 billion kilowatts, an increase of 2 over the previous year4%。The number of major agricultural machinery such as tractors and harvesters is also increasing year by year, and the agricultural production mode is gradually changing to mechanization and intelligence.
2.The structure of agricultural machinery and equipment has been continuously optimized.
While the total amount of agricultural machinery and equipment is growing, the structure of China's agricultural machinery and equipment is also constantly optimized. High-horsepower, multi-functional, and high-performance agricultural machinery has gradually become the mainstream, meeting the growing demand for agricultural machinery for different crops and different production links. At the same time, the application of intelligent and automation technology has also accelerated the upgrading of agricultural machinery and equipment structure.
3.The socialized service system of agricultural machinery has been gradually improved.
With the popularization of agricultural mechanization, China's agricultural machinery socialized service system has been gradually improved. New agricultural machinery service organizations such as agricultural machinery professional cooperatives and agricultural machinery operation companies continue to emerge to provide a full range of agricultural machinery services for agricultural production. At the same time, the state has also increased its support for agricultural machinery socialized service organizations, and promoted the development of marketization, specialization and socialization of agricultural machinery services.
Second, the development trend of agricultural machinery.
1.Intelligence and automation have become the mainstream.
With the development of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other technologies, the intelligence and automation of agricultural machinery will become the mainstream trend in the future. Through the application of intelligent technology, agricultural production links such as precision sowing, fertilization, and pesticide application can be realized, and agricultural production efficiency and agricultural product quality can be improved. At the same time, the application of automation technology will also greatly reduce the dependence of agricultural production on labor and alleviate the shortage of labor in rural areas.
2.The demand for personalization and multi-functionality has increased.
With the diversification of consumers' demand for agricultural products, personalized and multi-functional agricultural machinery will become the future development trend. Agricultural producers need special agricultural machinery that is more in line with their own needs to achieve efficient operation in specific production links. At the same time, multi-functional agricultural machinery will also meet the needs of agricultural producers for a multi-purpose machine, and improve the efficiency and economy of agricultural machinery.
3.Green environmental protection has become an important direction.
With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, green environmental protection has become an important direction for the development of agricultural machinery. In the future, agricultural machinery will pay more attention to energy saving, emission reduction, pollution reduction and other issues to promote the sustainable development of agricultural production. At the same time, the state will also increase the promotion of environmentally friendly agricultural machinery, and encourage agricultural producers to use low-emission and low-energy agricultural machinery.
4.Regionalization and specialization are more reasonable.
China has a vast territory, and the agricultural production conditions and crop types in different regions vary greatly. In the future, the development of agricultural machinery will pay more attention to regionalization and professional layout, and develop agricultural machinery suitable for local agricultural production needs according to the characteristics of different regions. At the same time, the state will also increase support for regionalized and specialized agricultural machinery to promote the balanced development of regional agricultural production.
III. Conclusions and Recommendations.
The development of agricultural machinery is an important part of China's agricultural modernization, and it is also an important way to achieve agricultural efficiency and farmers' income. In view of the current situation and future development trend of China's agricultural machinery development, the following suggestions are put forward:
1.Strengthen scientific and technological innovation and R&D investment, and promote the development of agricultural machinery in the direction of intelligence and automation;
2.Encourage enterprises to increase the research and development of personalized and multi-functional agricultural machinery to meet the needs of different agricultural producers;
3.Promote environmentally friendly agricultural machinery and promote the green development of agricultural production;
4.Increase the support for regionalized and specialized agricultural machinery, and promote the balanced development of regional agricultural production.
