The reporter learned yesterday from the China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association that the draft outline for the “13th Five-Year” development plan for the agricultural machinery industry has completed its consultation draft, confirming that leading enterprises will play a leading role.

It is understood that the China Agricultural Machinery Association, in accordance with the arrangements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the China Machinery Industry Federation, has completed the first draft of the outline for the “13th Five-Year” development plan for the agricultural machinery industry, and has initially proposed major construction projects and contents for the development of the agricultural machinery industry (key products, key technologies, key components), etc.

According to the introduction, China has entered a critical period of accelerating the transformation of traditional agriculture and vigorously developing modern agriculture. Especially during the “12th Five-Year” period, China's agricultural mechanization made tremendous progress, and the process of a new era dominated by mechanized production methods is accelerating in breadth and depth.

According to the two quantitative indicators of the “12th Five-Year” plan for 2015: first, “total agricultural machinery power reaching 1 billion kilowatts” was already achieved ahead of schedule in 2012, and by 2013 it had reached 1.06 billion kilowatts; second, “the comprehensive level of mechanization for cultivation and harvesting reaching more than 60%” is also expected to be achieved ahead of schedule this year, with expectations of reaching more than 61%.

The outline proposes that the preparation of the “13th Five-Year” plan must establish a new vision and achieve new development, further strengthen strategic and overall perspectives, and enhance the height, breadth and depth of the plan. In promoting the sustained and healthy development of China's agricultural machinery industry, the leading effect of large domestic agricultural machinery manufacturing leading enterprises will be vigorously brought into play.

An expert from the China Agricultural Machinery Association believes that “entering the ‘13th Five-Year’ period, China's agricultural machinery development stands at a new and higher starting point, which requires us to do a good job in plan preparation with a spirit of reform and innovation.”

Experts predict that by 2015, the total output value of the national agricultural machinery industry is expected to exceed 400 billion yuan. The huge cake of China's agricultural machinery market has attracted the favor of international capital, and international agricultural machinery giants have successively established themselves in China.

Capital from the domestic construction machinery and automobile industries is also seizing the opportunity to enter the agricultural machinery field, accelerating the pace of mergers, acquisitions and investment in agricultural machinery enterprises. As early as 2013, Zoomlion proposed building a development pattern in which five major sectors including construction machinery and agricultural machinery advance together, injecting the advantages accumulated in the construction machinery field in technology, brand and market into the agricultural machinery industry.
