2025 marks the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The agricultural mechanization system thoroughly implemented the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, fully leveraged the role of agricultural machinery production and emergency response as the main force, firmly grasped mechanized production during key farming seasons, strengthened mechanized support for large-scale yield improvement, made every effort to respond to prolonged rainy disasters in the Huang-Huai-Hai and other regions, solidly advanced actions to fill shortcomings in agricultural machinery and equipment, intensified efforts to promote the "premium machines get premium subsidies" and "entry and exit" policies for agricultural machinery purchase and application subsidies as well as the scrapping and renewal of old agricultural machinery, strengthened the organization and team building of agricultural machinery socialized services, and achieved positive results in the high-quality development of agricultural mechanization.
National Agricultural Mechanization Development Level
The comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation, sowing, and harvesting nationwide reached 76.82%, an increase of 1.18 percentage points over the previous year. Among them, the mechanical cultivation rate, mechanical sowing rate, and mechanical harvesting rate reached 88.84%, 67.06%, and 70.53% respectively, up 0.9, 1.75, and 0.95 percentage points over the previous year. The mechanization level of the three major staple grains steadily improved, while mechanization in livestock and aquaculture, protected agriculture, and primary processing of agricultural products continued to develop. The comprehensive mechanization rates of cultivation, sowing, and harvesting for major crops are shown in the table below.
National Agricultural Machinery Ownership Development Situation
National tractor ownership reached 19.9919 million units, with 42.1627 million units of supporting implements. Among them, the ownership of large and medium-sized tractors increased by 8.04% and 2.34% year-on-year respectively, and the ownership of supporting implements for tractors above 80 horsepower increased by 2.9% year-on-year. Machinery for grain crop production continued to maintain steady growth. Rice transplanters, grain combine harvesters, and corn harvesters reached 1.0304 million units, 1.7454 million units, and 725,000 units respectively. A batch of high-end intelligent agricultural machinery successfully entered mass production, including 300-horsepower class continuously variable transmission tractors, electric-drive high-speed precision seeders, and 15 kg/s feed rate grain combine harvesters. Agricultural machinery suitable for hilly and mountainous areas, such as hilly and mountainous tractors, mountain corn seeders, and terraced field rice harvesters, accelerated frontline deployment. Research and application of new energy agricultural machinery progressed rapidly. 300-horsepower hybrid tractors, orchard electric multi-functional power platforms, and electric self-propelled rotary tillers began small-scale application, while 700-horsepower hybrid tractors and hybrid 6-row baling cotton pickers began field trials. Button mushroom picking robots, vegetable grafting robots, and others were introduced to the market on a small scale, accelerating the pace of industrial application. The ownership of agricultural (plant protection) unmanned aerial vehicles reached 305,900 units, a year-on-year increase of 52.26%.
National Agricultural Machinery Service Organizations and Personnel Situation
There were 80,600 agricultural machinery professional cooperatives nationwide, with 49.8677 million rural agricultural machinery practitioners, including 11.5522 million certified personnel, and 138,500 agricultural machinery repair factories and repair points. A total of 8,152 regional agricultural machinery socialized service centers, 3,335 regional agricultural emergency disaster relief centers, and 14,600 normalized agricultural machinery emergency operation service teams were established. National agricultural machinery service revenue reached 485.27 billion yuan, an increase of 962 million yuan over the previous year, of which agricultural machinery operation service revenue was 374.06 billion yuan, an increase of 2.213 billion yuan over the previous year. Throughout the year, the five major operations of mechanical cultivation, mechanical sowing, mechanical harvesting, mechanical and electrical irrigation, and mechanical plant protection completed an area of 7.976 billion mu-times, a year-on-year increase of 2.68%. Conservation tillage was implemented on 175 million mu. Agricultural machinery trusteeship operation area reached 524 million mu.
