In 2021, Hunan invested a total of 7.204 billion yuan in central and provincial financial funds to fully complete the construction of 4.6 million mu of high-standard farmland. With the opening of spring ploughing in 2022, the newly-built high-standard farmland will be put into use, which not only lays a solid foundation for this year’s high grain yield, but also prospers the agricultural machinery market.
The reporter of Securities Daily learned that with the vigorous development of Hunan agricultural machinery industry, in addition to the industry giant Zoomlion agricultural machinery, a number of characteristic agricultural machinery industry clusters have been born, giving birth to Hunan farmers, field intelligence and other characteristic agricultural machinery enterprises.
agricultural machinery enterprises prepare for spring farming
Hunan is not only a big agricultural province, but also a big agricultural machinery province. Since 2014, Hunan has attached great importance to the development of agricultural machinery industry, formulated long-term plans, combined agricultural machinery R & D and design, safe production, use and maintenance and teaching guidance, and implemented measures such as financial subsidies, supporting services, demonstration bases and Counterpart Assistance, so as to promote the agricultural machinery industry in Hunan Province to move towards specialization and specialization. The Zoomlion agricultural machinery under Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) stands out and leads the development of the industry.
On February 18, the commencement ceremony of Zoomlion agricultural machinery Hunan (Changde) Intelligent Agricultural Machinery Industrial Park was held in Changde high tech Zone. The industrial park project has a total investment of about 1.3 billion yuan and covers an area of about 300 mu. It will build a new intelligent and digital production line, equipped with automatic assembly line, welding Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , intelligent warehouse and logistics, factory information system, etc., and strive to build a world advanced black light factory and modern and digital industrial park integrating R & D, manufacturing, service, training and demonstration, The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. After the project is completed and put into operation, it can meet the production demand of seedling thrower, tractor, rice harvester, tea oil fruit picker, orchard machine and self-made chassis, with an annual production capacity of 45000 sets.
Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) vice president Xiong Yanming, chairman and CEO of Zoomlion agricultural machinery, said: “Zoomlion agricultural machinery will increase the investment in scientific research strength of Hunan base, fully integrate the high-quality scientific research resources and strength of Zoomlion agricultural machinery Changsha Research Institute and Hunan intelligent agricultural machinery science and technology innovation center with the construction of Industrial Park, and increase the research on China’s high-end agricultural machinery general technology and agricultural machinery neck technology such as artificial intelligence technology, new energy electric drive technology and electro-hydraulic technology, so as to help Changde fight Build an important national advanced manufacturing base, optimize the supply chain system and resources of Hunan agricultural machinery industry, and promote the development of Hunan intelligent agricultural machinery industry cluster and Jiangsu Nonghua Intelligent Agriculture Technology Co.Ltd(000816) . “
In addition, many small, medium-sized and micro agricultural machinery enterprises with characteristics are unwilling to fall behind and have come up with their own skills.
Spring ploughing has arrived, and the assembly workshop of Hunan farmers rumbles. On average, one agricultural machine goes offline in 40 minutes. Huang Taiping, chairman of Hunan farmer, said: “we mainly focus on characteristic agricultural machinery products. Our light crawler tractors account for nearly 50% of the national market share. Our semi feed combine harvester and rubber crawler tractor series solve the problem of Paddy Field Conservation Tillage in rice producing areas.”
Tianye intelligent aims at the segment of tobacco planting and processing. Luo Zhenglai, deputy general manager of the company, said: “the small agricultural machines produced by the company fully consider the actual needs of the market and are customized for customers. For example, small tractors and mobile heat pump grills are all products loved by tobacco farmers.”
industrial development needs to be based on the long-term
Xiang Yang, associate professor of Agricultural Machinery Department of Hunan Agricultural University, said: “Agricultural machinery industry is one of the basic industries of agricultural production, which is also highly valued by the national and local governments. Hunan has listed the agricultural industrial chain as one of the 20 key industrial emerging advantageous industrial chains in the province, built an agricultural machinery equipment innovation and Research Center in Changsha, and encouraged the development of characteristic agricultural machinery production clusters in Changde, Chenzhou and Shaoyang The policy has made phased achievements, but there are still some problems in the agricultural machinery market, such as backward overcapacity, unbalanced industrial structure, lack of key supporting links, and failure to keep up with the pace of advanced technology. “
Xiang Yang explained: “From the perspective of agricultural machinery industry clusters in Chenzhou, Changde, Shaoyang and other places, the scale has increased rapidly, the output value has increased continuously, and the development momentum is gratifying. However, there are also many problems, such as the majority of small enterprises, the small number of large enterprises, the small number of characteristic products, low quality and low price, homogeneous competition and so on. If Hunan agricultural machinery industry is to be stable and far-reaching, the focus of work is still to strengthen the foundation and supplement the chain, and move towards diversification and refinement , characteristic and professional development. “
In this regard, Xiang Yang suggested that well-known machinery manufacturing enterprises such as Sany Heavy Industry Co.Ltd(600031) , Sunward Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(002097) , China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Corporation Limited(688425) should be encouraged to enter the Bureau, affecting the development of Hunan agricultural machinery industry chain in a stronger and faster direction.
It is understood that in the spring of 2022, Hunan will hold a retreat on the development of intelligent agricultural machinery industry chain in advance. The meeting stressed the need to open up the upstream and downstream of the agricultural machinery industry chain, accelerate the construction of market integration, promote the development of intelligent agricultural machinery industry chain, accelerate the construction, and focus on core technologies, key products, key needs and key links, so as to promote the digital transformation of the whole chain of agricultural machinery and equipment and the development of intelligent agricultural machinery and Jiangsu Nonghua Intelligent Agriculture Technology Co.Ltd(000816) .
