On May 22nd, at the construction site of the large-scale supporting agricultural machinery R&D, manufacturing, and training center project of Agricultural Division One, workers were seen busily constructing while machinery continuously moved back and forth on the site. As one of the key projects being constructed this year by Agricultural Division One and Alar City, the project is expected to be completed by the end of September, one month ahead of schedule.
The large-scale supporting agricultural machinery R&D, manufacturing, and training center project of Agricultural Division One is a collaboration between Group Seven and the China Academy of Agricultural Machinery Sciences. It is located within the industrial park of Group Seven. The project has an investment of 200.6 million yuan and covers a planned area of 140.94 acres. The main components of the project include relocating the agricultural machinery repair and manufacturing factory of Group Seven, constructing new forging, casting agricultural machinery production and R&D workshops, as well as an agricultural machinery exhibition hall and training building. After its completion, it is expected to annually process 8,000 sets of supporting agricultural machinery, conduct technical training for 2,000 agricultural machinery personnel, with a total investment exceeding 15 million yuan. This project also includes the standardization demonstration project of agricultural machinery storage sheds for high-quality cotton bases of Group Seven, with an additional planned investment of over 4 million yuan. This mainly includes large and medium-sized machinery garages, cotton harvesters garages, agricultural machinery parking lots, etc., capable of accommodating more than 600 sets of large and medium-sized agricultural machinery.
As a demonstration area for agricultural modernization, Agricultural Division One is accelerating the process of agricultural modernization, investing nearly 100 million yuan annually in the renewal and transformation of agricultural machinery. The rapid update of new mechanization has made it difficult for agricultural machinery personnel to effectively apply modern machinery, and there are still some differences between newly purchased machinery and local usage requirements. After the completion of the large-scale supporting agricultural machinery R&D, manufacturing, and training center of Agricultural Division One and the standardization demonstration project of agricultural machinery storage sheds for high-quality cotton bases of Group Seven, it will significantly improve this situation. It will establish its own agricultural machinery R&D, manufacturing, and training center, developing a batch of agricultural machinery and tools with independent intellectual property rights that are more suitable for local needs. At the same time, it will provide a training base for agricultural machinery personnel, becoming an integrated agricultural machinery center for product R&D, manufacturing, training, and services, laying a solid foundation for promoting agricultural modernization in the division and city.
