Guofa [2018] No. 42

To the people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, as well as all ministries and departments of the State Council and their directly affiliated institutions:

Agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery equipment are important foundations for transforming the development mode of agriculture and improving rural productivity, and are important supports for implementing the rural revitalization strategy. Without agricultural mechanization, there can be no modernization of agriculture and rural areas. In recent years, the level of agricultural machinery manufacturing in China has steadily improved, the total amount of agricultural machinery equipment has continued to grow, and the level of agricultural machinery operation has rapidly improved. Agricultural production has shifted from mainly relying on human and animal power to mainly relying on mechanical power, entering a new stage dominated by mechanization. However, due to the diverse demand for agricultural machinery products and the complex operating environment of machinery, the current problem of unbalanced and insufficient development of agricultural mechanization and agricultural machinery equipment industry is quite prominent, especially the weak innovation ability of agricultural machinery technology, insufficient effective supply of some agricultural machinery equipment, insufficient integration of agricultural machinery and technology, and lagging construction of agricultural machinery operation infrastructure, which urgently need to be solved. To accelerate the promotion of agricultural mechanization and the transformation and upgrading of the agricultural machinery and equipment industry, the following opinions are proposed.

1、 Overall requirements

（1） Guiding ideology.   Promote the transformation of the agricultural machinery and equipment industry towards high-quality development, promote the comprehensive and efficient upgrading of agricultural mechanization throughout the process, and pave the way for the development of agricultural mechanization with Chinese characteristics, providing strong support for the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.

（2） Development goals.

By 2020, the technological innovation capability of the agricultural machinery and equipment industry will continue to improve, and the weak link of "inorganic availability" in major cash crops will be basically solved. The total power of agricultural machinery in China has exceeded 1 billion kilowatts, of which the power of irrigation and drainage machinery has reached 120 million kilowatts. The configuration structure of agricultural machinery has been further optimized, the working conditions of agricultural machinery have been accelerated, the field of socialized agricultural machinery services has been expanded, and the efficiency of agricultural machinery use has been further improved. The comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting in China has reached 70%. Major grain crops such as wheat, rice, and corn have basically achieved full mechanization of production. The full mechanization production system of major economic crops such as cotton, oil, sugar, fruits, vegetables, and tea has been basically established. Significant progress has been made in mechanization of facility agriculture, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and initial processing of agricultural products.

By 2025, the categories of agricultural machinery equipment will be basically complete, key agricultural machinery products and key components will achieve coordinated development, product quality and reliability will reach the international advanced level, product and technology supply will basically meet the needs, and the agricultural machinery equipment industry will enter a stage of high-quality development. The total power of agricultural machinery in China has remained stable at around 1.1 billion kilowatts, of which the power of irrigation and drainage machinery has reached 130 million kilowatts. The configuration structure of agricultural machinery has become more reasonable, and the operating conditions of agricultural machinery have significantly improved. A socialized service system for agricultural machinery covering pre production, production, and post production has been established, and the utilization efficiency of agricultural machinery has significantly improved. Agricultural mechanization has entered a period of comprehensive, high-quality, and efficient development throughout the entire process. The comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting in China has reached 75%, and the main producing counties (cities, districts) for grain, cotton, oil, and sugar have basically achieved agricultural mechanization. The comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting in hilly and mountainous counties (cities, districts) has reached 55%. The mechanization of weak links has been comprehensively broken through, with potato planting and harvesting mechanization rates reaching 45%, cotton harvesting mechanization rates reaching 60%, peanut planting and harvesting mechanization rates reaching 65% and 55% respectively, rapeseed planting and harvesting mechanization rates reaching 50% and 65% respectively, sugarcane harvesting mechanization rates reaching 30%, and facility agriculture, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and agricultural product initial processing mechanization rates overall reaching about 50%.
