Cross-region operation radius shrinks, so why is the market still vast?
Driven by the national agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, amid the growing shortage of rural labor and the continuous expansion of agricultural operation scale, in the past two years local combine harvesters in China's main wheat-producing areas have become increasingly sufficient and large wheat combine harvesters have kept increasing; operation efficiency has accelerated, the time gap has narrowed, and this has led the cross-region operation market radius to show a shrinking trend.

How many hurdles must the potato clear to go from vegetable to staple food
On the plate it is a vegetable, in the bowl it is a staple food; for the tiny potato to make its counterattack transformation, how many hurdles must it still clear? In 2014, China's potato planting area and output each accounted for about 1/4 of the world's total, making it already the world's largest producer and consumer. This year, China launched the strategy for the development of potato staple food products and the industry, taking the potato, which is "water-saving, fertilizer-saving, pesticide-saving and labor-saving" to grow and nutritionally "perfect in every way," as a supplement to the three major staple foods of corn, rice and wheat for related product development.
