Contrast between supply and demand of agricultural machinery in Heilongjiang

A few days ago, it was learned from the Heilongjiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission that the province is one of the earliest provinces with the earliest development of agricultural machinery applications and agricultural machinery manufacturing. However, in the process of the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, agricultural machinery companies collapsed, went bankrupt, and changed their production. Although the agricultural machinery and equipment industry in our province has shown a recovery trend in the past two years, it is still relatively slow compared to the rapidly growing provinces of Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and it is not in line with the status of a big agricultural province. Some industries that restrict the development of agricultural machinery and equipment The problem still exists.

Ten billion yuan in demand to be satisfied The province is vigorously developing modern large-scale agriculture and implementing 100 billion kilograms of grain production capacity. This points the way for the development of the new agricultural machinery manufacturing industry and provides a huge market demand space.

Statistics show that in 2009, the province’s agricultural machinery sales reached 8.08 billion yuan, an increase of 22% over the previous year. According to the “Strategy Project Plan for Agricultural Mechanization of 100 billion Kilograms of Grain Production Capacity in Heilongjiang Province”, from 2009 to 2015, only 1,400 million kilograms of food production capacity in the province will be used to build 1,400 modern agricultural demonstration areas, requiring a new increase of 12,600 horsepower tractors. Supporting 36,200 sets of large-scale agricultural machinery, combine harvesting machine 13,300. In the paddy field, 10,000 new medium-horsepower tractors, 60,000 rice transplanters, 60,000 paddy fielders and plowing ploughs, and 2,000 rice combine harvesters have been added. At the same time, agricultural machinery must be renewed once every 7 to 8 years, and these are all greatly increasing demand for agricultural machinery and equipment. According to statistics from the provincial Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association, the annual demand for agricultural machinery in the province will exceed 10 billion yuan in 2010. By 2015, the annual demand for agricultural machinery in the province will reach 15 billion yuan.

In addition, agricultural machinery manufacturing can not only solve the demand for agricultural machinery in the province, but also has a strong pulling effect on more than a dozen industries such as metallurgy, metal products, chemical industry, electronics, rubber, storage and transportation, especially the pulling power of the county economy is far greater than Automotive Manufacturing.

Large grain producers are keen on "mechanization"

In an interview with farmers, it was felt that peasants can't live without mechanization, and that farmers can afford to buy agricultural machines. In the past, they would have to hesitate to spend a few thousand dollars. Now they are willing to spend 10,000 yuan. A sales manager of Shandong Gold Billion Machinery Co. told the reporter that at the Agricultural Machinery Exhibition in our province last year, the 146-horsepower new corn harvesters they brought were priced at 260,000 yuan each. Unexpectedly, it sold more than 20 units in 4 days. Half of the buyers were farmers. Most of them were large grain producers. Heilongjiang land contiguous, good working conditions for farmland machinery, is the largest large-scale agricultural machinery market in China. It is no wonder that the agricultural machinery production princes are plundering this fertile land.

The supply and demand of agricultural machinery is huge. Li Guojun, director of Heilongjiang Provincial Bureau of Agricultural Machinery, introduced that the province's grain output is second only to Henan and Shandong, ranking third in the country. The size of the agricultural machinery industry is only equivalent to 7.4% in Henan and 3.2% in Shandong. The annual demand of large-scale agricultural machinery in Heilongjiang Province accounts for 20% of the country's total demand, while provincial agricultural machinery products only account for 20% of the provincial market. On the other hand, the structure of agricultural machinery products in Heilongjiang Province is also not reasonable. The main agricultural machinery products in Heilongjiang Province are land preparation and sowing machinery. The production capacity of power machinery is insufficient. The ratio of supporting agricultural implements to large-scale tractors is only 1:1.5, far below the matching standard of 1:3, and the professional production system of agricultural machinery parts is still blank. Livestock and animal husbandry machinery and agricultural product processing machinery have fewer production enterprises and have a single variety. In addition, the level of technical equipment is low. Most enterprise equipments stay at the level of the seventies and eighties of the last century, with backward technology and lack of market competitiveness. The per capita annual output value of agricultural machinery enterprises in Heilongjiang Province is about 200,000 yuan, 350,000 yuan in Shandong and other provinces, and 2 million yuan in foreign developed countries. Moreover, the province lacks supporting enterprises for large-scale enterprises. With the exception of the United States-owned Jialian Deere Company, the rest are small and medium-sized enterprises with small and complete production, and the market share at home and abroad is very low. “Can not be avoided, our province is still a backward province of agricultural machinery manufacturing industry, and the status of the use of large provinces of agricultural machinery to form a great contrast.” Li Guojun said.

On the one hand, foreign agricultural machinery manufacturers cannot timely and accurately meet the needs of agricultural production in accordance with the changes and development of agronomy in our province. On the other hand, losing the competition for agricultural machinery products in this province will inevitably lead to the monopoly of prices of foreign products. Farmers in this province will pay higher prices. cost. There are cases where the large-scale compounded soil preparation machinery produced by a foreign company originally sold for 280,000 yuan each in our province. After the province produced its own machinery, it was sold at a price of only 105,000 yuan each, and foreign companies quickly set prices. Correspondingly, it dropped to 200,000 yuan.
