Agricultural Machinery Industry Development: seizing the international market is the key      

China has become the world's largest agricultural machinery use, agricultural machinery manufacturing second big country, but it has not been a manufacturing power, the overall level of agricultural equipment and the developed countries in the world has nearly 30 years of gap. In addition, there is a big gap in the advanced nature of the products. Take the combine harvester as an example, in developed countries, the average failure free time is 70-100 hours, only 30-40 hours in china. Therefore, the development of agricultural machinery industry, to seize the international market is the key.

"At present, China's agricultural machinery in the low-end overcapacity, only open up new markets in developing countries, in order to stimulate the development of resources, otherwise it can only be 'eliminated'." In January 15th, in an interview with reporters, Li Shujun, President of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Sciences and President of the international society for agricultural and biological systems engineering, said.

Li Shujun said, this is first reflected in the variety of products on the quantity. There are more than 65 kinds of agricultural equipment in developed countries, and more than 7000 kinds of agricultural equipment in China. There are only 14 categories and more than 3500 species in China, and mainly in field operations.

The greater disparity lies in the ability of independent innovation. Li Shujun said, for decades, Chinese agricultural industry basically was the introduction of technology, tracking imitate the way, the lack of original and important core technology, products and technology almost all rely on the introduction of support ability of equipment technique involves the production of grain, cotton, oil is beneficial to the people's livelihood important commodities such as a serious shortage.

In the middle and low end of the production of excess, high-end production capacity is insufficient, accompanied by the internationalization of market competition, agricultural equipment technology innovation is facing more severe challenges. In this case, Li Shujun pointed out that to go out, expand the development space, seize the international market, is the only way to revitalize the national agricultural machinery industry, fully participate in international competition has been the choice of Chinese agricultural machinery enterprises no retreat. "The domestic market left us with little time and space, if not go out, equivalent to being wiped out on the spot, and enter the international market, you can release excess capacity, stimulating economic development."."

In Li Shujun's view, Africa and other developing countries are the target market for agricultural machinery to go out, and this can also play a certain role in promoting China's food security.

In recent years, China has a certain agricultural machinery trade cooperation with Africa and other countries. However, in Li Shujun's view, the existing trade or "one sold", the effect is not ideal.

Li Shujun's visit to Africa once again, he found that the sale of small agricultural China mostly has not formed the scale and yield, and a big reason is customer service repair services can not keep up, mostly agricultural soon became scrap.

"Simply selling machines, but there is no follow-up service outlets, this is not sustainable, and negative impact."." Li Shujun said. In order to really get out of the agricultural machinery, we must have a long-term concept, we must accelerate the construction of trade demonstration sites, spare parts and services to provide.

In addition, Li Shujun said, must be rooted in the local agricultural industry chain, to promote the complete project of going out, namely planting, breeding, processing and utilization of "four in one", realize the mechanization planting, breeding welfare, organic food, residue resources four synchronous, manufacturing, sales, maintenance, the training and service of the whole industry chain to go out and promote the healthy development of sustainable and healthy industry overseas.

In addition, in order to promote the agricultural better go out, in Li Shujun's view, increase efforts to establish an open platform for the construction of the internationalization of the internationalization of R & D center, strengthen personnel exchanges and training, to further promote the academic exchanges and cooperation, and actively promote inter governmental scientific and technological cooperation is indispensable.

Based on agricultural machinery, strong power, expand the field, scientific development, at this time our country agricultural machinery enterprises need to face the problem, is also the necessary law to the world.
