Advantages and disadvantages of agricultural mechanization in China?

The benefits of agricultural mechanization in China are naturally increased production and social progress, which makes farmers less hard and narrows the gap between urban and rural areas.

The disadvantage is that it will make many farmers unemployed, because there is no manual mechanical operation, which will reduce the harvest and waste land at the same time. There are many hillsides in China, so many places don't need machinery. Mechanization also causes high energy consumption (diesel and electricity) and a little environmental pollution.

Basic characteristics of agricultural mechanization development road suitable for China national conditions;

① Agricultural mechanization is based on improving economic benefits, which not only attaches importance to increasing production and saving labor, but also attaches importance to increasing farmers' income.

(2) according to the national conditions and national strength, determine the development speed of agricultural mechanization, and adapt to the arrangement of industry, energy, science and technology, capital and labor force.

(3) In a long period of time, agricultural production should combine manpower, animal power, mechanical power and electricity to improve farm tools, semi-mechanized machines and modern agricultural machines.

(4) Agricultural mechanization serves the all-round development of agriculture and the comprehensive management of agriculture, industry and commerce. Its scope includes not only planting, but also forestry, animal husbandry, sideline, fishery and other industries, as well as prenatal (such as seed processing and feed preparation) and postpartum (such as agricultural product processing, refrigeration, storage, packaging and transportation), as well as rural construction and farmers' life.

⑤ Agricultural mechanization projects are not in a hurry to be perfected, and priority should be given to those links that have obvious effects of increasing production and income and can reduce labor intensity during busy farming hours; Don't force regional unity, and places with good conditions take the lead in supporting it.

⑥ Agricultural mechanization should be combined with other agricultural technology policies, which should not only serve the promotion of advanced modern agricultural technology, but also adapt to the inheritance of fine traditional technology, so as to establish China's own agricultural machinery system.

⑦ Agricultural machinery products are mainly small, combining large, medium and small, with the principle of low price, high quality, low energy consumption and convenient use and maintenance.

Attach importance to agricultural electrification, especially the development of small hydropower stations in rural areas.

Pet-name ruby properly arrange the way out of the labor saved in the process of mechanization.

Attending the diversification of ownership and management forms of agricultural machinery to adapt to the new situation of rural economy after the implementation of the contract responsibility system. Agricultural machinery not only belongs to the collective and the state, but also belongs to individual farmers. In the form of operation, it can be operated by the state or cooperative distribution organizations, such as family operation, farmers' partnership operation, farmers' contract operation and agricultural machinery service (teams, stations and companies). Pay attention to the intellectual investment in agricultural mechanization, train a large number of talents to meet the needs of agricultural mechanization development, and so on. The gradual mechanization of agriculture in China on the basis of collectivization is the fundamental way to develop agricultural productivity.
