Grain dryer becomes the next big blue sea in the agricultural machinery industry

“Drying in time and safely entering the warehouse” is the key link after the whole process of mechanization of grain production to solve the problem of cultivation and cultivation. It can not only play a role in ensuring food security, but also can effectively improve the quality of food.

“But the level of mechanization of grain drying in China is still very low, still less than 10%, while the level of mechanization of grain drying in developed countries such as Europe and the United States is above 90%.” Professor Zhu Wenxue, a professor at Henan University of Science and Technology, Jiangsu University and Henan University of Science and Technology, said. At present, one of the key points of agricultural mechanization in China is to develop into a full-scale and comprehensive development. The demand for agricultural machinery is extended to pre-production and post-production, and the hot spot for agricultural machinery needs to be developed for drying equipment.

The “dryer” covers a wide range of industries, including metallurgy, minerals, chemicals, building materials, etc. The “grain dryer” can only be regarded as a small piece. However, with the changes in the international grain market, the concentration of land circulation to promote the development of large-scale agriculture, and the adjustment of agricultural machinery subsidy policies, the former “small, cold” machine of grain dryer has become hot and has become an agricultural machinery. The next big blue sea in the industry.

Dryer is the short board of China's agricultural machinery

Safeguarding food security is a top priority for China and a top priority for economic and social development. With China's full efforts to promote the full mechanization of grain production and the comprehensive mechanization of agricultural production, and increase investment in key links of agricultural production and improve the mechanical level of weak links, effectively improve the overall agricultural production capacity and promote the comprehensive and healthy agricultural production. development of.

Since 2004, China's total grain output has been continuously increased by twelve consecutive years. The rapid growth of grain production and the need for storage have also led to the demand for grain drying equipment and processing equipment: firstly, the circulation and concentration of land has promoted the scale and intensive management of agriculture, which not only improves food production, It will also change the way of artificial drying and storage before food, which will increase the demand for grain drying and processing. Secondly, the development of the grain futures market and the increasing number of grain processing enterprises will cause the grain farmers to change the grain sold on the spot after the previous harvest. Habits, but learn to store first and then sell when the market is good, this change in thinking and behavior patterns will also lead to increased demand for grain drying and processing; and with the increase in mechanized harvest levels, in order to catch up The rush to harvest seeds during farming has led to an increase in the amount of high-moisture food, which in turn will lead to an increase in demand for grain drying and processing.

"The promotion of the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy can not be underestimated." Zhu Wenxue said. It is understood that since 2011, drying equipment has been listed in the National Agricultural Machinery Subsidy Catalogue and has been heavily subsidized. In some places, such as Fujian, not only strictly implements the 120,000 subsidy standard required by the National Subsidy Catalogue, but also 15% for grain dryers. The accumulative subsidies, Zhejiang, Guangxi and other provinces are added to the state subsidies equal to the amount of subsidies, reaching 60% of the cumulative subsidy.

"However, drying equipment is still a short board for China's agricultural machinery." Zhu Wenxue said. According to statistics, the grain drying rate of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea has reached more than 90%, while the grain drying rate in China is less than 10%. The direct loss caused by not drying in time is enough to feed several small and medium-sized people. country.

The dryer industry is still in the melee phase

Looking back on the development process of China's grain drying machinery for more than 30 years, it was still in a period of slow rise and development before 2009. Since 2009, the country has begun large-scale and large-scale land transfer. The continuous concentration of land has led to the large-scale development of agriculture and the centralized harvest of grain, which has promoted the explosive demand for drying equipment in large-scale agricultural production.

It is understood that from 2010 to 2015, the domestic dryer ownership increased rapidly with an average annual growth rate of 150%. In 2015, the domestic grain drying equipment market sales have reached 10 billion yuan; from the number of production enterprises, only 5 In the year, China's grain dryer production enterprises have grown to more than 1,000 in 2015.
