Interpretation of the First Five-year Industry Plan "Agricultural Industry Development Plan"

The first industry plan released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, "Agricultural Industry Development Plan (2011-2015)" once again locked in the agricultural machinery industry. This "planning" is the first five-year plan for the agricultural machinery industry issued in the name of the government since the founding of New China. It is of significance to the agricultural machinery industry. major. In order to understand the details of the "Planning", a reporter from the China Industry News recently interviewed Hong Sixi, the vice chairman and secretary general of the China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association.

Interpretation 1: What is the necessity and significance of the preparation of "Planning"?

Hong Siangguo said in an interview that the agricultural machinery manufacturing industry is an important component of the equipment manufacturing industry. It is an industry that directly provides production tools and technical equipment for the “three rural issues”. The Third Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee put forward the “fundamental way for agricultural development to advance in science and technology”, and requested that in order to meet the requirements of agricultural scale, precision, and facilities, we must speed up the development of multifunctional, intelligent, and economical agricultural equipment and facilities. .

Agricultural machinery is the most basic material guarantee for agricultural mechanization and it is the support of modern agriculture. Agricultural machinery is an essential tool for developing agricultural production, solving the “three rural issues” problem and building a new socialist countryside. It is an effective tool for improving the efficiency of agricultural production, ensuring the full and effective use of resources, environmental friendliness, and sustainable development. Food security, promoting agricultural production and efficiency increase, changing the income of farmers and promoting rural development play an important role.

China has become the world's largest producer of agricultural machinery, but China still has a large gap compared with agricultural powerhouses, mainly because of poor development and innovation capabilities, low product technology levels, and structural contradictions in agricultural machinery products. In recent years, with the rapid development of agricultural production, especially the development of modern agriculture, the inadaptability of the agricultural machinery product structure and the adjustment of the agricultural industry structure has become increasingly prominent. Small and medium-sized low-end products have overcapacity and supply exceeds demand, causing vicious competition. Many large- and medium-sized products with high technological content and high production efficiency cannot produce or have no production capacity, and they cannot meet the needs of agricultural production, mainly relying on foreign imports. The variety structure cannot adapt to the needs of agricultural structural adjustment.

In the next five years, the sustainable and stable development of China's agricultural machinery industry will face severe challenges. Accelerating the adjustment and revitalization of the agricultural machinery industry is an urgent task to ensure national food security, maintain steady economic growth, and accelerate the transformation of development methods. In order to revitalize the agricultural machinery manufacturing industry, it is of great strategic importance to formulate and implement the "planning."

Interpretation 2: What are the guiding principles and the main principles for the preparation of the "Planning"?

The preparation of the “Planning” is guided by the scientific concept of development, fully implements the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee and the “Opinions” of the State Council, and effectively implements the “National Outline for Medium and Long-Term Scientific and Technological Development (2006-2020)” and “Equipment Manufacturing The requirements for the development of agricultural machinery industry in the adjustment and revitalization plan are centered around promoting the development of modern agriculture, safeguarding national food security, and building a new socialist countryside, insisting on adjusting products and industrial structure, transforming economic growth patterns, and promoting industrial upgrading and sustainable development. The overall thinking, and strive to adapt to the requirements of agricultural scale, precision, and facilities, develop multi-functional, intelligent, economical agricultural equipment and facilities, and strive to improve the innovation capability and manufacturing level of agricultural machinery industry, optimize the industrial structure, and achieve a large agricultural machinery production country. The transformation to a powerful country in agricultural machinery manufacturing.

"Planning" reflects the overall requirements of the scientific concept of development. Maintaining the sustainable and healthy development of the agricultural machinery industry is the primary task to be solved by the "planning," but "stability" must be based on the premise and foundation of high-quality growth. As an indispensable industry that serves the "three rural" special and public service, and at the same time it is a weak industry facing strong competition from foreign companies, the "Planning" should not only solve the problem of the increase in the economic scale of the agricultural machinery industry, but also solve it. Under the fierce competition conditions, how to further exert comparative advantage, agglomeration of resources conducive to the sustainable development of the industry, and accelerating the improvement of industrial innovation capabilities, and achieving sound and rapid development.

Interpretation 3: How should we understand the objectives and main tasks of the agricultural machinery industry proposed by the Plan?

Hong Siangguo said that the "plan" put forward three objectives. First, the goal of industrial scale, that is, by 2015, the total value of the agricultural machinery industry will reach 400 billion yuan, and the export trade volume will reach 12 billion US dollars, accounting for 20% of the total industry sales.

The second is the goal of innovation capability. Establish a coordinated and effective platform for independent innovation in the agricultural machinery industry, achieve major breakthroughs in key technologies and common technologies in the areas of large-scale agricultural power and operation equipment, and promote the development of new products. Form a number of products and technologies with independent intellectual property rights. The technological innovation capability of the industry has been significantly enhanced, and the new products developed have reached the international advanced level in the same period.

The third is the goal of industrial capacity. Widely adopt modern manufacturing technologies to promote industrial upgrading. Initially formed an industrial system integrating scientific research and development, mainframe manufacturing, key parts manufacturing, complete equipment supply, and technical services, and formed five large-scale enterprise groups with annual sales revenue of more than 15 billion yuan and strong international competitiveness. The products provided can basically satisfy the strategy of safeguarding China's grain production safety and the needs of agricultural modernization, and become the world's largest and most powerful country in agricultural equipment manufacturing.

"Planning" proposes that in the next five years, the agricultural machinery industry must focus on grasping the tasks in six areas to ensure the stable growth of the agricultural machinery industry, break through core technologies, and promote industrial development. Mainly starting from the main line of “adjusting structure, promoting innovation, and improving the level”, according to the characteristics of the industry, the basic path of industrial rejuvenation is proposed.

First, we must seize the current favorable opportunity for the development of agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery industry to promote industrial restructuring of the agricultural machinery industry, form a new pattern of development with reasonable layout and high industrial concentration, and establish and improve access systems and market withdrawal mechanisms for the agricultural machinery industry. Eliminating outdated production capacity; accelerating the strategic reorganization of enterprises, encouraging the development of agribusiness enterprises, and forming industrial systems and industrial clusters with large enterprises as the leader and small and medium enterprises. To break through the core technological bottlenecks of key products, priority will be given to the development of large-scale tractors over 100 hp, 50-70 hp energy-saving and environmentally friendly paddy field tractors, multi-functional grain combine harvesters, corn harvesters, sugarcane harvesters, cotton harvesters, and large and medium-sized power machinery packages. Agricultural machinery, protective tillage equipment, small machinery suitable for use in hilly areas, etc., to achieve product structure adjustment.

The second is to achieve breakthroughs in key common technologies and enhance the scientific and technological innovation capabilities of the agricultural machinery industry. By highlighting the "four rounds", the innovation capability of the agricultural machinery industry will be improved. Namely: Focusing on the development of major products such as high-powered tractors and multi-functional harvesters, accelerating industrial upgrading and upgrading of products; focusing on research and development of core components such as engine, transmission, electric control, and hydraulic pressure to enhance independent innovation and core competitiveness of agricultural machinery; Improve the conditions and improve the new agricultural machinery technology and new product development, trial production capacity; focus on scientific research mechanism innovation, support key enterprises technological progress, and drive the development of the entire industry.

Relying on agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises and scientific research institutes, we must speed up the construction of national laboratories, engineering centers, and enterprise technology centers for tractors, multi-functional harvesters, and agricultural machinery, speed up the research and development of key agricultural products and technologies that are urgently needed, and concentrate on conquering the development of industries. The technological bottlenecks of process materials, basic components, and key operating devices have formed a number of core technological achievements with independent intellectual property rights. The development of new technologies and new products should fully consider the needs of crop varieties, farming systems and management systems, and improve the applicability of agricultural machinery and tools. Strengthen the construction of agricultural engineering disciplines, speed up the introduction of R&D and manufacturing talents for power machinery and supporting machinery, increase technical reserves, and train a group of talents and teams with innovative capabilities.

The selection of these 16 key projects adheres to the following five principles: First, it is of great significance to the stable development and structural adjustment of the agricultural machinery industry. It is difficult to complete the allocation of resources entirely based on the enterprise's own strength and market means, and it needs the national key support. Second, it is in line with the law of industrial development. Potential domestic and foreign markets have strong market demand, with forward-looking market and advanced technology; Third, the project is ensuring national food security, ensuring sustainable agricultural development, promoting agricultural restructuring, realizing the transformation of agricultural production methods, improving the utilization of agricultural resources, and improving Agro-ecological environment has a significant role in promoting the increase of farmers' income. Fourth, the pre-conditions of the project are mature, construction can be started, and can play a role in driving the adjustment and revitalization of the industry. Fifth, the project is to realize the automation, information, and intelligence of agricultural machinery. Technology has a leading role.

Interpretation 5: How to achieve the goals set out in the Plan?

The "Plan" has made eight policy recommendations in a targeted manner, including the formulation of industrial policies to improve the legal system, the implementation and improvement of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, the establishment of a diversified investment and financing mechanism, the implementation of preferential taxation policies, increased national investment, and the introduction of support Policies, improving the investment and financing environment, further expanding the international market, supporting mergers and acquisitions, and strengthening the capacity for independent innovation. The proposed policy measures are mainly divided into three categories: First, the implementation of existing policies. For example, the “State Council’s Several Opinions on Accelerating the Revitalization of the Equipment Manufacturing Industry” and the “Adjustment and Revitalization Plan for the Equipment Manufacturing Industry”, the subsidies for purchase of agricultural machinery and equipment, and the existing preferential tax policies and measures, the promulgation and implementation of these policies have played a role in the sustainable development of the industry. Actively, the next step is to clearly implement the plan, increase support, and speed up the implementation process in accordance with national food security and the actual needs of the market.

The second is to grasp the policy of perfecting and introducing as soon as possible. Such as the formulation of agricultural machinery industry policy and industry access management methods. These policies and measures include not only strategic industrial support policies that have been brewing for a long time, but also support measures that can achieve the double-win effect of expanding domestic demand and energy saving and emission reduction. The relevant departments are stepping up efforts to promote relevant work.

The third is to support some specific measures for the agricultural machinery industry. For example, increase investment in the agricultural machinery industry, establish a stable growth mechanism for investment in the agricultural machinery industry, maintain input levels conducive to industrial development, and strengthen investment and financing environment, including government finance, industrial capital, venture capital, and financial capital. Private capital's diversified investment and financing channels. Through the guidance and demonstration of central financial support and local follow-up investment, the support of industrial capital and financial capital to the agricultural machinery industry will be promoted.
