National agricultural machinery subsidies

Agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, also known as agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, refer to the state’s support to individual farmers, farm employees, agricultural machinery professionals, and agricultural machinery operation service organizations directly engaged in agricultural production to purchase and update agricultural machinery needed for agricultural production. The purpose of providing subsidies is to promote the improvement of agricultural mechanization level and agricultural production efficiency.

Measures

As of August 30, 2012, the central government has implemented a total of 14.29 billion yuan in agricultural machinery purchase subsidy funds across the country. The first batch of central government subsidy funds has been basically completed. There were 4.052 million units (sets) of agricultural machinery, benefiting 3.117 million farmers. In order to ensure the smooth development of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, agricultural mechanization and financial authorities at all levels should start as early as possible, speed up implementation, carefully deploy, standardize operations, and strictly supervise in accordance with the overall requirements of "early, fast, strict, detailed, and practical". Six aspects of work have been carried out:

Mobilization and deployment for early implementation

On January 6, the general offices of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Implementation of Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidies in 2012". Publish a list of subsidy amounts for general machinery. On February 14, the Ministry of Agriculture held a national work conference on agricultural machinery purchase subsidies to summarize the effectiveness, practices and experience of the implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policies in recent years, and deploy the implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies throughout the year and the construction of an integrity risk prevention and control mechanism. Sign a responsibility letter for the implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies with the top leaders of the agricultural mechanization departments of each province (autonomous region, city, corps, and agricultural reclamation), and establish a responsibility mechanism in which "the main leaders bear overall responsibility, the leaders in charge bear full responsibility, and the staff are directly responsible" to achieve the goal The person is on duty and the responsibility falls on the person.

Improve mechanisms and standardize management

The Ministry of Agriculture issued the "2012 Implementation Plan for Extended Performance Management of Policies to Strengthen Agriculture, Benefit Farmers and Enrich Farmers", and launched agricultural machinery purchase subsidies for provincial agricultural mechanization departments Policy implementation extends performance management to promote the implementation of the party’s policies to strengthen agriculture, benefit farmers and enrich farmers. The General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture issued the "Notice on Further Regulating the Operation of Subsidy Products for the Purchase of Agricultural Machinery" to further regulate the operation of subsidized products for the purchase of agricultural machinery, severely punish illegal production and marketing enterprises, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of farmers and honest enterprises.

Carefully review and strictly control

Organize and carefully review the provincial agricultural machinery purchase subsidy implementation plan and subsidy amount list, and promptly report any discrepancies with policy documents and the requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture and Finance. Comprehensive rectification and strict control of policy implementation from the source. The Ministry of Agriculture and Finance promptly approved the subsidy operation pilot plans reported by each province. They have jointly approved 17 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) including Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Gansu, and Guangxi to apply for subsidies based on invoices after purchasing the machine at full price. and pilot programs such as decentralization of settlement levels.

Strengthen publicity and expand influence

Relevant persons in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance released agricultural machinery purchase subsidies on the central media to answer reporters’ questions, and jointly compiled and printed 136,000 copies of "Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidies" Application Procedure Chart" is distributed free of charge to the grassroots. All localities make full use of radio, television, newspapers, the Internet and other media to carry out subsidy policy publicity, further increasing the farmers' awareness of the policy, enhancing the transparency of the policy, and expanding the influence of the policy.

Strengthen supervision and ensure effectiveness

The Ministry of Agriculture issued the "Supervision and Inspection Plan for the Implementation of Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Policy in 2012". Starting from early April, 8 supervision groups were jointly established to go to 14 provinces including Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang (including reclamation areas), Jiangsu, Hunan, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Gansu, Guangxi, Xinjiang, and Ningbo carried out spring inspections to promptly point out existing problems and urge thorough rectification. Standardize policy implementation. We went to Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangsu and other provinces to conduct research on innovative pilot situations to provide a basis for further improving the subsidy operation mechanism. In July, the Ministry of Agriculture held a spring supervision and inspection report meeting on agricultural machinery purchase subsidies. Vice Minister Zhang Taolin and team leader Zhu Baocheng attended and delivered speeches, putting forward clear requirements for the next step of work.

Carry out verification and severely punish violations

Resolutely and decisively investigate and deal with illegal and illegal problems exposed in the process of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies. Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture canceled all product subsidy qualifications of Xinxiang Fool Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Development Co., Ltd. nationwide based on the verification of the Zhejiang Provincial Agricultural Machinery Bureau.

At the same time, various localities were urged to strictly investigate and deal with a number of illegal production and marketing enterprises. For example, the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region severely punished 9 dealers and 5 agricultural machinery manufacturers for participating in illegal operations and bribery; the Xinjiang Agricultural Machinery Bureau permanently canceled the qualification of Xinjiang Jifeng Juli Company to distribute subsidized products based on verification , which has served as a warning and deterrent to illegal enterprises.

The second batch of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy funds from the central government has been released. In order to further speed up the progress of subsidy work, implement the benefits of subsidies into the hands of farmers as soon as possible, and ensure that subsidized machinery and tools play a major role in agricultural production during important farming periods, agriculture The Ministry of Agriculture recently issued the "Notice on Further Accelerating the Implementation and Settlement Progress of Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy", requiring agricultural mechanization departments at all levels to closely cooperate with the financial department to effectively increase awareness of the importance of implementing agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policies well and quickly, and further enhance Political awareness, overall situation awareness and service awareness, and a high sense of responsibility, mission and urgency to do a solid job in subsidy implementation. On the basis of standardized and honest implementation, accelerating the implementation and settlement progress should be regarded as an important task of the current agricultural machinery purchase subsidy. In principle, the annual subsidy funds should be implemented before November 15, and the central fiscal funds for the entire year should be settled no later than December 1. Completed before the end of the month.
