Sugarcane harvester central financial subsidy limit raised to 200,000 yuan

Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture issued and issued the “National List of Top-level Subsidies for Central Agricultural Funds for General-purpose Agricultural Machinery in 2012”, which announced the maximum subsidy for general-purpose machines. The provincial agricultural mechanization authorities are stepping up their work on the classification of non-generic and self-selected other types of subsidies and the calculation of subsidies, etc., and speed up the formulation of subsidy for farm machinery purchase subsidies in 2012 by provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities, corps, and farms). Lists to ensure that agricultural machinery purchase subsidies policies are standardized, efficient and clean.

In order to further protect farmers' right to purchase independently and fully utilize the role of the market mechanism, the Ministry of Agriculture stipulates that, within the category of subsidies, those that have passed the test and appraisal shall meet the requirements of advanced application, mature technology, safety and reliability, energy conservation and environmental protection, and service requirements. The products that have been listed in the national and provincial support promotion catalogues are eligible for subsidies. In 2012, the number of annual subsidy items in the province remained the same, and the county-level agricultural mechanization authorities were not free to narrow the range of subsidy equipment. At the same time, all provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities, corps, and agricultural reclamation) are required to no longer formulate a subsidy product list, and a list of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy equipment subsidy shall be used as an important basis for implementing subsidy policies for agricultural machinery purchases. The manufacturer and product model of the specific subsidy equipment are no longer clearly indicated in the list. In the subsidy indicator confirmation book, there is no longer a product production company and model, only the name of the item category of the implement and the subsidy amount, so that the farmers can independently choose satisfactory equipment.

In order to improve the scientificity and rationality of the subsidy determination work, the Ministry of Agriculture has focused on the following three tasks: First, based on intuitively recognizable items and parameters such as machine structure, functions, and operating capabilities, the national agricultural machinery purchase will be further improved. Subsidy equipment classification binning method, and according to the national general category subsidies for classification bins. The second is to carry out investigations and investigations on the sales of subsidized implements and combine the information in the National Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Computer Management Network System to accurately grasp the market sales prices in recent years. The third is to comply with the principle of "relying on the low, not on the high," and to reassess the maximum amount of subsidy for the classified sub-category's central government financially one by one to prevent excessive subsidies. In general, the amount of subsidies should not exceed 30% of the average market price, and the maximum amount of subsidies for single machines should not exceed 50,000 yuan. To adjust and optimize the structure of agricultural machinery and equipment, strengthen macro-control and guidance, properly reduce the amount of subsidy for wheat harvesters whose total amount tends to be saturated, and increase the subsidy limit of single-machine subsidy for large-scale no-tillage planters, large-scale combine harvesters and other weak links. RMB 10,000, sugar cane harvesters, single machine subsidy limit for tractors over 200 hp can be increased to 200,000 yuan, and the single machine subsidy limit for large-scale cotton pickers can be increased to 300,000 yuan.
