Hutchison chief engineer of the Ministry of Agriculture Zhang Tiejun Extension Station of Agricultural Machinery – Agricultural Machinery,

Boring afternoon. Reporter received a call from a friend, she just attended the Department of Agriculture Agricultural machinery Technology development and promotion terminus Chief Engineer Zhang Tiejun’s funeral, deeply shocked: “I never expected this in the system, General Zhang respected! Several agricultural provinces Secretary flew to Beijing to hear the news overnight, said to have specially come back from abroad! ceremony, many were crying not become like it! “young, she was the first time I attend the funeral, the first time to understand what is” respectable “!

Zhang Tiejun, an ordinary sounding name; frame where an angular, dark face, the eyes firm, reveals a unique sturdy northerners. Chief Engineer of Ministry of Agriculture, Agricultural Extension Station, such a position, although the hard-won, but the capital in talents, but also far from prominent.

But why, he’s gone to so many people Love cannot be stopped; why, far away in the northeast, Ningxia, Shanxi and other places of agricultural Tough Guy heard the sad news again after the water vapor permeability of the eyes; why, the Ministry of Agriculture to promote agricultural terminus colleagues after his death for some days in class, there are always in his heart that what is missing?

Every day coming to an evening more than two, as if never know what is tired.

– Ministry of Agriculture, Agricultural Extension Station Zhao Ying

“Old iron” tired 6 19, a gray sky, rain falling all morning. Ministry of Agriculture, Agricultural Extension Station Promotion

Director Cao Jianjun arrived units, colleagues told him: “old iron away.”

Cao Jianjun casually should be a voice: “Oh, gone?”

First day, harvest year and we had also talking about their study abroad thing, Cao Jianjun assume that these words was to inform his colleagues, has been traveling the old iron.

Seeing this, my colleagues simply said softly: “old iron died, station leader it is his home.”

Cao Jianjun shocked! I Chang a, blank is no feet and a half day. When he came to understand that when the tears have flooded her eyes.

Zhang Tiejun, held the next day the funeral, many hastily rushed colleagues, friends, tears fly like rain. Tall, harvest year has been physically and mentally Jue Shuo, yesterday strutted and we study the problems, discuss work, how suddenly the dying, yin and yang, a gap?

Harvest year old friend, Ministry of Agriculture, Agricultural Machinery Test and Evaluation Total Zhanfuzhanchang Zhu Liang said that the afternoon the day before his death, Zhang Tiejun China Agricultural Machinery Institute also participated in the national 948 project preliminary feasibility studies. Dinner meal when you stay with him, Zhang Tiejun politely refused.

“His wife in poor health, I have looked after home.” Leaving the phrase, Zhang Tiejun left quietly. On this night, Zhang Tiejun heart attack, died.

“Needless to say, I know that the Iron Army is exhausted.” This is a harvest year old partner, the Office of the Deputy Inspector Zhao Xiaojun farming Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, told reporters the first thing to see.

As he has made. In the agricultural front, especially agricultural extension system, familiar with the harvest year of people know, the old iron premature death, and the style of his dedicated work ethic, has great relevance.

“Subsidies to purchase the directory such as time out, nearly sixtieth of people every day coming to an evening more than two points, even some of our gang of young people can not stand. Can counterfeit a word children, a number of children with pull, as if never know the meaning of tired. “Agricultural Extension Station on Zhang Tiejun Zhao Ying, professionalism and awkward to work seriously and marveled.

Now, it never seemed tired of the old iron did not know it had to feel tired. He poured in the pursuit of agricultural development in the way of big business, not wake up.

He is too needed rest. Agricultural extension work too hard, others prefer not to, we are dry, but dry in honestly.

? Heilongjiang Province Agricultural Extension Station owners and cure

Pareto, do not dry farm machinery!

Dry agricultural line, tired! Engage in agricultural extension, is to “eat, adversity was tired by the tired.” These words is definitely not watered points.

Limited production of rice in Japan with Japanese food imports new? County Agricultural interview

Planting structure adjustment, economic restructuring in rural areas an important part of how exactly tune? Increase, tuning, tune the quality and efficiency, as the goal is very clear. But as a prerequisite to face the international and domestic markets, which is, after China’s accession to WTO as a necessary requirement. The effectiveness of soy in our province in 2002 were higher, which depends not only on domestic demand conditions, but also on the amount of global soybean production cuts.

Rice is headed Japan’s largest species, the rice production technology, the quality of rice are the best in the world. However, Japan implemented to reduce rice cultivation area of rice production-limiting policies, has been going on for 30 years. Despite Japan’s original intention of this adjustment of planting structure and purpose, and we may be completely different, however, economic integration in the world today, to learn more about the situation of some of our neighbors, we will add some more opportunities.

Japan imports 60% of the food needed is a food importing country absolutely. Particularly vegetables, fruits and other daily consumption of food on a great reliance on foreign markets, such as mine which is rich and rich labor resources, traditional vegetable production and management opportunities for countries.

In the new? Hear a word, the world’s best rice in Japan, Japan’s best rice in the new?, New? The best rice in the fish marsh.

However, this is the best rice, are being implemented in limited production.

New? County Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries Policy Division chief of the General Secretary said that Miyamoto is new? Is Japan’s large agricultural county, the backbone of agricultural products are rice, agricultural produce accounted for 60%? 65%, accounting for 25 Japanese rice production %, the total production of home in Japan. Control of the rice growing area and production has been carried out for 30 years, the new? County in 1998 has been reduced by 40,000 hectares of rice growing area, this 40,000 ha is mainly guided by the state, soybeans, buckwheat, vegetables, fruits, flowers and so on.

New? Angeles County deputy governor spring and Zhao said that due to structural changes in food, consumption of rice per person per year in Japan the volume of declining, there overproduction of rice. In order to maintain the price of rice to protect farmers interests, national restrictions on rice production, and introduced the relevant industrial policies.

According to a statistics, the 1998 Japanese eat rice and 179 grams per person per day, more than 360 390 g before the war, fell by half, mainly food products have become rich diet appears Europeanization tendencies. Reduction in consumption, resulting in a relative surplus of rice production. Japan’s protectionist policies in agriculture, but also caused the extraordinarily high prices of agricultural products. The price of rice is 10 times the international similar products, there can not export. Limited production of rice has become an inevitable choice.

Are planned each year to adjust the acreage of rice last year, new? County completed a planned 98%. But the planting structure adjustment, there is no mandatory, entirely through the policy interests of the guidance, mainly state subsidies to farmers, the basic benefit is 40,000 yen per 0.1 ha. State planning the implementation of limited production of rice farmers in their purchase of machinery equipment, to provide interest-free loan. Miyata Masato Shiozawa town is the largest farming households, he said, not the state’s limited production policy, replacing mechanical equipment, there is no interest-free loans, dare not execute.

Interview, a topic often talked about Japan’s food imports and China’s food exports. Japan’s agricultural gross domestic product accounts for only 2.7% of the daily consumption of vegetables and fruits have great food on the foreign market dependence, vegetables products in China one of the major exporting countries, of which Japan imports 99% of spinach to from China.

Sato quasi-two are new? Daily agricultural experts, in that we can together explore the Japanese agriculture, said that China’s vegetable, not only in price advantage, but from China to Japan in the transport and vegetable preservation also has advantages . However, mothers in Japan, more attention to food safety, price is secondary to the safety of the second choice, which is the general mentality of the Japanese people. Sato said, if we can fundamentally solve the issue of pesticide residues in vegetables, China is likely to monopolize the import of vegetables to Japan.

The issue of national experts believe that Japan’s vegetable production is not only costly but also willing to engage in heavy manual work fewer and fewer people, while the WTO has on the government’s financial subsidies are many restrictions (Japan now come up with substantial funds each year financial subsidy on vegetable production), and further transfer market is inevitable, this is an opportunity. Some of China’s agricultural products competitive in price, but in the non-price factors (including quality, safety, packaging, etc.), but lack of competitiveness.

Agricultural Machinery Industrial Opportunities

Agriculture and developed areas, must be developed areas, agricultural mechanization, farm machinery and equipment industry is even more developed regions. However, Heilongjiang save the exception.

Heilongjiang is China’s first granary, and medium-sized farm machinery ownership in the country first, but the development of farm machinery and equipment industry, almost at a standstill. More than 20 years ago, Heilongjiang Province, sales of farm machinery and equipment manufacturing industry nearly 20 billion yuan, the current remains the same, ranking first in the country has dropped to 17th.

Provincial Agricultural Research Institute Di He believed that reform and opening up more than 30 years, Heilongjiang Province, have missed the “little four”, “agricultural vehicle” and “horsepower tractors” and other development opportunities in the three farm machinery and equipment industry, today ushered in the big horsepower tractors, combines power and ancillary equipment for the characteristics of agriculture and animal husbandry “modern farm machinery and equipment industries,” the development of the fourth opportunity.

Heilongjiang Province, four non-arrival of a “when the wind”, we use low-cost food to feed someone else’s farm

According to statistics from related departments of Heilongjiang Province, to retain large and medium tractors increased from 127.8 thousand units in 2004 to 44.3 million units in 2008, five years, an increase of 3.47 times. The province to maintain farm machinery and implements increased from 22.2 million units in 2004 to grow to 59 million units in 2008, an increase of 2.65 times the average annual growth of 21.52%.

In recent years, the province’s annual agricultural sales, an increase of 10 billion yuan, 6.63 billion last year, this year is expected to reach 7.5 billion. However, another indicator Querang Heilongjiang were embarrassed last year, agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises in Heilongjiang Province, main business income of 2.06 billion, accounting for farm machinery and equipment manufacturing industries 1.1% of revenue, accounting for one-third of the province’s agricultural sales, but also means that the province each year there is an outflow of funds Siwushiyi yuan farm purchases, but also means that Heilongjiang with cheap food, to feed someone else’s farm machinery and equipment industry.

Di He said, Heilongjiang back in “25″ period on the establishment of a complete farm machinery manufacturing and application system. 80s of last century the province’s agricultural enterprise sales income reached 20 billion yuan, ranking first in the country. However, with the deepening economic reform, Heilongjiang agricultural enterprises in trouble. What is more regrettable is that, Heilongjiang miss the “little four”, “agricultural vehicle” and “horsepower tractors” and the three mentioned upgraded farm machinery and equipment manufacturing opportunities, reduced to a weak provincial agricultural machinery.

By this time, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang, Henan and other places, through reform and opening up of the wind, farm machinery and equipment manufacturing industry from scratch, from weak to strong, sweeping farm country agricultural markets. The four provinces account for farm machinery and equipment companies 55% of the total number of agricultural enterprises with sales income accounted for 66% of the national market. , Shandong Agricultural industrial output from the last century 80’s 1 billion yuan start, will grow beyond 300 billion yuan mark last year, the province of Heilongjiang Province, Shandong Agricultural industrial output is less than when the wind (farm) Group output (80 million) for a quarter of the 1.

In accordance with agricultural production for each 1 yuan GDP led 3-7 yuan proportion of Heilongjiang Agricultural equipment industry is not strong, there are more large-scale loss of supporting industries.

“John Deere” “Dong-Jin Group” reveals cutting edge, “the Southern Machine north,” the general trend of

Farm machinery and equipment industry in Heilongjiang, when the Depression, but also a number of “real estate” enterprise full of confidence, “John Deere”, “Dong-Jin Group”, “Harbin Wall” is one representative.

More than 10 years ago, the United States, “John Deere” stationed in Heilongjiang, when its main product — combine sales are very difficult. Today, the same combine harvester sales price from 170,000 yuan each year grow to 27 million, and in short supply. Because, “John Deere” believe, Heilongjiang, sooner or later will become the largest market for combines. Statistics departments also appears to give evidence over the past two years, strong demand for medium-sized harvester, showing rigid growth, in 2007 the demand for 12000 units, 15000 units in 2008, while the actual supply in 2007 to 3,800 units, 2008 Year of 4200 units.

“East Golden Group” A few years ago before entering the farm equipment industry, in addition to financial strength, they know little of the agricultural machinery industry. But the “farm machinery sales great”, so that the enterprise’s annual sales revenue of millions of units of rapid growth, but also so that the “East King Group” speed up business cooperation with domestic and foreign well-known footsteps of agricultural machinery.

Of course, farm machinery and equipment manufacturing “does not give up do not abandon”, and also the provincial Agricultural Research Institute as the representative of the research institutes. The institutions known for research in agricultural implements, in order to allow the rapid transformation of scientific research, have set up a “Harbin Wall” and other hospital is a farm implements manufacturer, is currently only producing more than 10 kinds of agricultural implements, the annual output value reached more than 6000 yuan. This capacity is only about one per cent of the market demand, which means that several hundred million dollars or even billions of dollars of production capacity in the “sleeping.”

-And-coming agricultural enterprises in Heilongjiang, and both are in the province with foreign companies, Foreign companies grafting results.

Di He said that domestic farm machinery manufacturing center in the Northeast there are gradually transferred the main signs of the local market, developed countries, agricultural machinery manufacturers have their sights on moving to China, coupled with the revitalization of northeast old industrial base of national policies, Heilongjiang has been ushered in modern farm machinery and equipment industry development opportunities.

To build modern farm machinery and equipment industry base, not much time left to Heilongjiang, “market-for-factory” no time to waste

To give 100 billion jin of grain production in Heilongjiang Province, matching investment in farm machinery and equipment 17.8 billion, is expected to flow in 2015 the province’s agricultural year will amount to 30 billion yuan. The province’s high-powered tractors and associated farm tools from the current 2000 units (sets) to more than 1 pieces (sets).

A strong agricultural consumer market, naturally attracted many well-known agricultural enterprises. October around the province farm enterprises, “China’s a drag” and the Norwegian Grand Group will be held at Harbin agricultural exhibition, the world’s second-largest farm machinery manufacturer, “Cisco” Our company has a clear-owned factories in the northeast region.

In Heilongjiang industrial development of modern farm machinery and equipment put on the agenda, our neighbors Jiutai in Changchun City, Jilin Province, has Converting a farm machinery and equipment industry base, and then the form of subsidies through the Government launched a base in agricultural machinery sales. Far away from us some of the southern agricultural province, as early as two or three years ago began the development of modern farm machinery and equipment industry.

China Agricultural Machinery Industry is expected to more than 10 billion yuan of profits in 2009

Although accurate data this year has yet to be out, but China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association Gao Yuan-yan in the recently concluded 2009 National Farm Machinery Industry Working Conference on high-profile forecasts, this year’s national farm machinery industry output will reach 230 billion yuan, profits will be more than 100 billion! And two years ago in 2007, the annual output value of more than 150 billion yuan of China’s agricultural machinery industry is also becoming the top ten news stories. In the context of the global economic crisis, this data has given a lot of “farm people” proud and excited.

Production and marketing: scenery over here is fine

From the National Bureau of Statistics figures show that 1 in October this year, China’s agricultural machinery industry output value of 187.249 billion yuan, up 23.30 percent, with growth rates in the traditional machinery industry in the first place continue to maintain a sustained, rapid and stable growth. Harvesting machinery and particularly strong growth in large and medium sized tractors.

Since 2002, eight years time, the agricultural machinery industry has maintained annual growth rate of 20% or more. GAO Yuan-yan said, “All major companies this year, two months after the production, sales have continued to maintain the momentum of rapid growth, according to this momentum of view, this year’s national agricultural output value reached 230 billion yuan is no problem. In the world come to look can be described as thriving! ”

In sharp contrast with China is the world’s agricultural industry, the past two years sitting trip “roller coaster” — 2008 rapid growth in 2009 has fallen considerably. In 2008 the world’s agricultural machinery industry in 2007 increased by 13% of the basis, increased by 18%, of which Germany would increase by 25%.

However, the spillover of the financial crisis, the sharp decline in 2009 is expected to reduce over 18% year on year GDP has returned to 2006 levels. Russia, Eastern Europe, a sharp decline in the market, its products are basically out of the international market; Germany, Japan and other agricultural producing countries, a variety of farm machinery sales contraction.

In 2008 the world’s agricultural output value for the 67 billion euros, according to data from comparable estimates, about 15 percent of China into the world’s top five; this year, China will continue to consolidate and strengthen its position as the world’s agricultural machinery. In 2010 in the country’s economic policies and increase the “three rural” work in support of efforts, China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, estimates that China’s agricultural machinery industry sales growth of 10% to 15%, with a total estimated 250 billion ~ 2700 Bn.

Export: Global with the Yan Liang

In 2008, China’s agricultural product exports accounted for 23% of GDP, into the world trade in the main channel. With confidence a few key agricultural enterprises intended to show in international markets later this year to test their skills did not think the economic crisis our country export market for agricultural products played Qilingbala, the worst-hit areas are China’s traditional market, a serious obstacle to China’s agricultural products in international trade.

The first ten months, exports 4.142 billion U.S. dollars, down 23.99%. In which the greatest impact is the tractor industry, exports fell 43.35 percent, 31.67 percent decline in exports vehicles, while the combine harvester has a more substantial increase in exports.

In 2008, the world’s exports of agricultural products is about 38 billion euros, an increase of 19%. But by 2009, but reversed, the global volume of trade can be “appalling” to describe. European Protection Association (CEMA) released in June 2009 the EU agricultural sector climate index is -67.6, a year ago in June was 71.6. Germany 1 ~ September tractor exports fell 28.4%, farm exports fell 25.4%, export share of agricultural gross output value of the share will be 75% in 2008 to 2009 to 69%. Japan’s exports in the first half of this year fell 38.8% year on year, so that the overall sales of agricultural machinery industry dropped by 20%.

Tomorrow: Comrade needs to be done

2009 National Farm Machinery Industry Working Conference during the World Climate Conference in Copenhagen is being held at. Many representatives said that China’s agricultural diesel engines and various farm vehicles to the increase of carbon dioxide emissions “contribution is not small.” This is a big country to enter our country from agricultural farm power a major obstacle. Formulation and implementation of field operations mechanical energy-saving emission reduction mandatory standards work may in the near future will be put on the agenda. From the situation in Europe, at present, adopting a European Ⅲ A standard, in 2011 to implement EU Ⅲ B standards, in 2013 on the implementation of Europe Ⅳ standard. Compared with them, we do, “shame.”

Product development and technological upgrading of China’s agricultural machinery industry is another bottleneck. According to Gao Yuan Yan introduced foreign tractors, combines many have to spend a CVT, hybrid, ABS brakes, ESP stability system, technologies such as driving. Product development, with the “equipment manufacturing industry adjustment and the revitalization of planning” of the “equipment manufacturing investment in technological upgrading and technological progress and the direction of the guiding directory” in the 22 agricultural projects, agricultural enterprises should all be working for. The State Council Development Research Center of France, said Zhang, low-level redundant construction and low price competition is not conducive to China’s agricultural machinery industry.

Then the crisis often birth of a new era of scientific and technological revolution, our agricultural enterprises, especially the leading enterprise, we must seize the opportunity, only those with independent intellectual property rights of technology and products in order to be called agricultural power.

In addition to energy saving and emission reduction technologies and product development, the 2010 also in the market there are still many uncertainties. In the international market, in addition to a few countries, the agricultural market is still difficult to pick up. The domestic market, although the state to determine the amount of subsidies would also increase the purchase, but if the income of farmers increased unhappiness, operating farm machinery can not earn money, but also will affect the purchase initiative.

China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association at the annual meeting on this to remind the business, to increase the hot products, production capacity, improve product quality, improve product performance; active product structure adjustment, improve the output of high-tech products.

Agricultural Insurance – an Effective Control Mechanism for Non-performing Assets of District Central Co-operative Banks in India

AGRICULTURE INSURANCE – AN EFFECTIVE CONTROL MECHANISM FOR NON-PERFORMING ASSETS IN DISTRICT CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE BANKS OF INDIA

All the agriculture plans projects and schemes are subjected to yield risks. As these are highly dependable to weather, monsoon, rainfall and other natural calamities the amount of risk is unpredictable. In India most of the agriculturists don’t have the awareness about the agricultural insurance plans and schemes provided by the Government in mitigating losses arising out of agriculture. If there is any loss due to natural calamities they demand only the writing off the agriculture credit availed. They don’t avail the mitigating mechanisms, which are readily available to protect them from unexpected losses. This article provides a basic knowledge about the available insurance facility to mitigate the risk in agriculture.

RISKS IN AGRICULTURE:

Five general types of risk are identified. They are:

1.Production risk – derives from the uncertain natural growth processes of crops and livestock.

2.Price or market risk – refers to uncertainty about the prices that will be received for commodities.

3.Finanacial risk – rising interest rates, the prospect of loans being called by lenders, and restricted credit availability are also aspects of financial risk.

4.Institutional risk – due to uncertainties accumulated by government actions.

INDIAN AGRICULTURISTS POINT OF VIEW

1. The premium payable is not refundable. So they feel that it is a waste of money.

2. The government agencies do not educate them properly.

3. They feel that this is for the benefit of the government and the Insurance Companies only.

4. They feel that the premium payable is not affordable.

5. They feel that it is the responsibility of the government to clear off their losses.

6. They believe that the government will and should take up the responsibility every year.

7. They believe that the agricultural losses are impossible to mitigate.

So most of the borrowers of agricultural credit do not have the habit of repayment. It accumulates the overdue and ends in non-performing assets for the District Central Co-operative Banks (DCCBs) in India. In order to save the DCCBs the government agencies should come forward to educate the needs and uses of available agricultural insurance plans and schemes to mitigate their risks. All such facilities must me simplified and the premiums must be made affordable for the poor farmers. This will definitely reduce or share the risk of losses to both government and the poor agriculturists in India. “IT WILL BE AN EFFECTIVE MECHANISM TO CONTROL THE NON-PERFORMING ASSETS OF DCCSs IN INDIA”.
