Bring these machinery into subsidy pilot scope! Agricultural products processing mechanization accelerated

Recently, the ministry of agriculture held a national agricultural mechanization of pretreating advance will work, put forward to promote agricultural mechanization of pretreating to wider areas and higher quality development, strive to 2025, the national agricultural mechanization of pretreating rate significantly promoted, for promoting rural revitalization, provide strong support to speed up the agricultural modernization.

Vigorously developing the agricultural processing industry will not only improve the quality and efficiency of agriculture, increase farmers' employment and income, and promote the integrated development of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas, but also play an important role in consolidating and expanding the link between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, and accelerating the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.

In recent years, China's agricultural products processing industry has developed to a certain extent. In 2019, the revenue of the agricultural processing industry exceeded 22 trillion yuan, and 81,000 large-scale agricultural processing enterprises employed more than 30 million people. But overall still large but not strong, mechanization level is still low. According to relevant statistics, the total output value ratio of agricultural processing industry to agriculture is 2.3:1, far lower than the level of developed countries, 3.5:1. The conversion rate of agricultural products was 67.5%, nearly 18 percentage points lower than that of developed countries. By 2020, the mechanization rate of primary processing of agricultural products in China is only 39%. Therefore, the state introduces a number of policy measures to promote agricultural products primary processing mechanization level.

In 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the National Rural Industry Development Plan (2020-2025), proposing to develop primary processing, intensive processing and comprehensive utilization of agricultural products in a coordinated manner, and promote diversified development, multi-level utilization and multi-link value-added of agricultural products. We will encourage and support farmers' cooperatives, family farms, small, medium and micro enterprises to develop primary processing of agricultural products in producing areas, reduce post-natal losses, extend supply time, and improve quality and efficiency. Priority will be given to developing storage facilities for fresh agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, milk, livestock, poultry and aquatic products, such as pre-cooling, preservation, freezing, cleaning, grading, segmentation and packaging, as well as commercial processing to reduce losses and increase efficiency. Primary processing, such as drying, storage, hulling, removing impurities and grinding, will be developed to maintain and increase the value of grain and other storable agricultural products. Edible primary agricultural products, focus on the development of fermentation, pressing, filling, frying, drying, curing, cooking and other primary processing, to meet the diverse needs of the market. Cotton, linen, silk, wood, bamboo, rattan, palm grass and other non-edible agricultural products, focusing on the development of finishing, cutting, crushing, grinding, drying, wire drawing, weaving and other primary processing, the development of a variety of uses.

NongCunBu office in April 2021, agriculture, national rural revitalization of the bureau of the printing of the social capital investment in agriculture and rural areas to guide (2021), is put forward to encourage social capital to participate in major grain producing areas and characteristic advantage area development of agricultural product processing industry of agricultural products, promote pretreating, deep processing and comprehensive utilization of by-product processing and coordinated development, We will raise the level of mechanization and standardization in the agricultural industry, and help build a number of intensive processing bases and strong processing counties for agricultural products. We will coordinate the development of wholesale markets in producing areas, distribution centers, and sales areas for agricultural products, and encourage nongovernmental capital to participate in the development of state-level specialized markets in producing areas and field markets for agricultural products. Encourage social capital joint family farms, farmers cooperatives in storage and keeping fresh agricultural products cold chain logistics system construction, the construction of a batch of fresh-keeping, grading packing, cold-chain distribution facilities such as equipment and farm small storage preservation cold-chain facilities, encourage conditional place to direct construction of low temperature distribution center, improve the efficiency and quality of cold chain logistics services, building agricultural products logistics nodes, We will develop new forms of distribution in which farmers, supermarkets, rural cooperatives, agricultural enterprises, and agricultural schools are linked in their production and marketing.

In November 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the Guiding Opinions on Expanding The Diversified Functions of Agriculture to Promote the High-quality Development of Rural Industries, proposing to expand and strengthen the agricultural processing industry and give play to the central role of agricultural processing industry at county level in the vertical connection of production, addition and marketing. Provides a strong innovation ability, complete industry chain, green background sufficient, safe and controllable, LianNong all farmers tight agricultural industrial chain, promote the production delayed, secundiparity at both ends, the tertiary industry go high-end, guide the agricultural products processing center of gravity down county, town and logistics nodes, promote production and processing, product and market, enterprise and the coordinated development of farmers, Realize the diversified development of agricultural products, multi-level utilization, multi-link value-added. Preferential income tax policies for primary processing enterprises of fine agricultural products, and support the inclusion of ancillary facilities for dryers, complete sets of equipment for primary processing of fruit and vegetable tea, and complete sets of facilities and equipment for primary processing of bee farming and bee products into the scope of pilot subsidies for purchasing new agricultural machinery products.
