Highlighting the priorities, balancing all aspects, giving priority to the needs of two areas
This year's machine purchase subsidy adheres to the principles of total control, structural optimization, tiered support, lump-sum use, and openness, fairness, and direct benefits to farmers. Taking into account the construction of the two agricultural areas in various places, arable land area, agricultural industrial structure, comprehensive level of agricultural mechanization, existing stock of agricultural machinery in use, and farmers' demand situation, the central subsidy fund index for agricultural machinery purchases is determined.
In order to increase support for the construction of the two agricultural areas, the planned indicators of the machine purchase subsidy funds will give priority to meeting the machine purchase needs within the two areas, and subsidies will be provided in the following order: professional cooperatives of farmers, large-scale agricultural machinery (grain planting) households, science and technology demonstration households included in the Ministry of Agriculture's Science and Technology Entry Project, Ping'an Agricultural Machinery Demonstration Households, owners of scrapped tractors with a "Scrapped Tractor Recycling Certificate", and those who purchase host machines and simultaneously purchase matching agricultural tools. When the conditions of applicants are the same or difficult to determine, the principle of fairness, justice, and openness shall be followed, and methods such as public lottery that are easily accepted by farmers will be used to determine the recipients.
The scope of subsidies has increased by 22 items, with a maximum single-machine subsidy of 2 million yuan
This year’s subsidized machinery continues to focus on grain and oil production machinery, key mechanical equipment in the dominant links of agriculture, and facilities agriculture equipment, mainly used to subsidize power machinery, tillage machinery, planting and fertilizing machinery, field management machinery, harvesting machinery, post-harvest processing machinery, primary processing machinery for agricultural products, irrigation machinery, livestock and aquaculture machinery, and facility agriculture equipment across 12 major categories, 37 subcategories, and 116 items. Compared to last year's 12 major categories, 34 subcategories, and 94 items, it has added three new subcategories and 22 items including seed germinators.
Regarding the subsidy standards, in principle, the central funds provide a unified subsidy calculated at 30% of the average market price, with a single-machine subsidy not exceeding 50,000 yuan. For tractors over 100 horsepower, high-performance forage harvesters, large no-till planters, milking machinery, and dryers, the single-machine subsidy limit can be raised to 120,000 yuan, while for tractors over 200 horsepower, the single-machine subsidy can be raised to 200,000 yuan.
Provincial and municipal subsidy funds are mainly used for cumulative fixed-amount subsidies for rice transplanters, rice seedling production lines, seed germination equipment, rice mechanized transplant trays, grain dryers, and updates of tractors registered in the city purchasing tractors of 12 horsepower or more listed in the "Directory".
Pioneering a joint supervision mechanism to ensure the transparency of subsidy policies
The Supervision Bureau, Finance Bureau, and Agriculture, Forestry, Fishery, and Animal Husbandry Bureau of Shangyu City stated that to ensure that the subsidy policy truly benefits farmers, Shangyu City has pioneered a joint supervision mechanism, which will conduct irregular special inspections and random checks involving multiple departments. Comprehensive inspections will be carried out for issues found during the checks, such as falsification and misappropriation of fiscal funds, strengthening the management and inspection of fund usage. Producers and dealers will be urged to collect the amount of the machine price after deducting the central subsidy funds to ensure that farmers benefit. Dealers involved in illegal and unlawful operations will have their qualifications to operate subsidized agricultural machinery permanently revoked; producers involved in illegal and unlawful operations will have their product subsidy qualifications promptly canceled.
At the same time, it requires all townships and streets to effectively manage the preliminary review and public announcement stages, strengthen supervision of the prices of subsidized machinery, timely grasp the actual selling prices and quality tracking investigations of subsidized machinery, strictly prohibit arbitrary price hikes under the guise of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, and do a good job in establishing one-machine-one-file subsidy special archives.
