Recently, many regions such as Heilongjiang, Zhejiang, and Sichuan have introduced policies to support the development of intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment. Data shows that China's intelligent agricultural machinery equipment is accelerating its development, and the market size of intelligent agricultural machinery is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan by 2030. The reporter learned that in the next step, China will accelerate the industrial application of agricultural machinery and equipment in multiple key areas, and promote the research and development of low altitude economic equipment in the agricultural field. At present, autumn grain growth is also a critical period for field management and protection. Intelligent agricultural machinery such as unmanned sprinkler trucks, unmanned fertilizing machines, and unmanned spraying machines are showing their skills in the fields, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of agricultural machinery operations. In recent years, China has accelerated the research and application of advanced and applicable agricultural machinery, and more and more intelligent equipment has been used to assist agricultural production. At present, the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting in China has exceeded 75%, and the production of the three major staple foods has basically achieved full mechanization. At the same time, China's agricultural machinery and equipment industry is accelerating its development. The relevant person in charge of Weichai Lovol, a smart agricultural technology enterprise, told reporters that with the promotion of large-scale agricultural operations, the market's demand for efficient, intelligent, and convenient high-end intelligent agricultural machinery is constantly increasing. This year, the sales of Lovol power shift tractors have skyrocketed, with no need to press the clutch when shifting gears and a significant decrease in labor intensity. According to data provided by the China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, there will be 2271 large-scale agricultural machinery enterprises in China by 2024. Some leading enterprises have entered the forefront of global agricultural machinery enterprises, while some small and medium-sized enterprises focus on niche markets and have also formed a high market share. The research report released by the China Academy of Commerce Industry Research shows that the compound annual growth rate of China's agricultural machinery market will be 7.8% from 2020 to 2024. The market size of China's agricultural machinery market will reach 90.7 billion yuan in 2025 and 146.7 billion yuan in 2030, with the intelligent agricultural machinery market reaching 103.9 billion yuan. Recently, many regions have introduced support measures for intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment. Among them, Heilongjiang Province has introduced 20 policy measures to support the high-quality development of high-end intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment industry, supporting the technological research and development of complete machines and key components such as high-power tractors, intelligent agricultural robots, and heavy-duty agricultural drones, and supporting the implementation of a number of provincial-level science and technology plan projects. Zhejiang Province has set specific goals for the development of agricultural drones, and by 2027, it will achieve full coverage of agricultural drone configurations in provincial-level modern agricultural service centers. Sichuan Province has issued a document to carry out technological breakthroughs in agricultural drones and other related fields. In 2025, the No. 1 central document also proposed to promote the high-quality development of agricultural machinery and equipment. Experts said that while promoting the "progressiveness" of agricultural machinery and equipment, they should also highlight the "applicability", form an agricultural machinery and equipment system suitable for different regions, different crops and different scales, and make up for the lack of suitable machinery in hilly and mountainous areas and the insufficient mechanization rate of economic crops. China is the world's largest producer and consumer of fresh corn, with an annual output value of over 70 billion yuan. The planting area of fresh corn in Heilongjiang Province exceeds 2 million mu, but for a long time, about 90% of fresh corn has relied on manual harvesting, and high cost and low efficiency have become key bottlenecks restricting industrial development. This dilemma is turning around with the development and production of domestically produced high-end intelligent equipment. The large-scale high-end intelligent fresh corn harvester jointly developed by Heilongjiang Zhongxing Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. and Heilongjiang Agricultural Machinery Engineering Science Research Institute can complete multiple operation functions such as flexible and low loss ear picking, non-destructive conveying, cleaning and impurity removal, ear collection box, and loading in one go. Its harvesting efficiency reaches 60 times that of manual labor, breaking the monopoly of foreign machinery in this field. At the production workshop of Heilongjiang Zhongxing Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., the reporter saw more than ten intelligent fresh corn harvesters lined up in a row, preparing to be sent to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places one after another. The general manager of the company, Yan Shengmin, told reporters that currently, smart fresh corn harvesters are selling very well and are in short supply. In addition, technologies and equipment such as vegetable ridge sowing, factory seedling cultivation, precise application of organic fertilizer, and integrated water and fertilizer are also accelerating their popularization. The reporter learned that in the next step, China will accelerate the industrial application of key equipment such as automatic vegetable transplanters, leafy vegetable harvesters, and high-efficiency pond aquaculture catchers; Actively researching and developing equipment required for the development of low altitude economy in the agricultural field, and helping to solve the production problems of fields, orchards, and facility agriculture in hilly and mountainous areas. Yang Mengying, assistant researcher at the Contemporary Agricultural History Research Office of the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, stated that to promote the high-quality development of agricultural machinery and equipment, it is necessary to strengthen the research and development of agricultural machinery technology, and achieve a number of breakthrough scientific and technological achievements with significant application value and independent intellectual property rights. Consolidate the position of agricultural machinery enterprises as the main body of technological innovation, and continuously enhance the industrial control and influence of key areas in China's agricultural machinery and equipment industry. On the other hand, we will strengthen the in-depth application of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, and the industrial Internet, and actively deploy technological innovations that meet the development direction of the future agricultural machinery industry and the needs of the development of new agricultural productivity.
