Agricultural machinery subsidies

1. Can everyone purchase agricultural machinery receive subsidy funds?

Answer: Due to the limited scale of subsidy funds, the purchase subsidy policy cannot be rolled out to all regions across the country at the same time. Therefore, not all farmers in all places can receive subsidies when buying agricultural machinery. Only farmers in the implementation areas determined by the central government and Anhui Province are eligible for machine purchase subsidies.

The central finance department has arranged for 76 counties (cities, districts) in Anhui Province to implement this year. The provincial finance department has arranged for 23 counties (cities, districts) to implement this year.

2． Who is eligible for subsidies? Can employees of local reclamation farms receive subsidies when buying farm machinery?

Answer: This year’s subsidy targets farmers (including local farm employees) who are included in the implementation scope and meet the subsidy conditions and agricultural machinery service organizations directly engaged in agricultural production. You can learn and consult with the local agricultural machinery management department. If your farm is included in the implementation scope of the local machinery purchase subsidy policy, you may receive a machinery purchase subsidy.

3． If I am a large agricultural machinery owner or a large grain grower, can I get priority in receiving subsidies?

Answer: Yes. Priority recipients of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies include: (1) Large agricultural machinery households (large grain growers); (2) Those who purchase supporting machinery and tools (purchase of main engines and matching work tools); (3) Those included in the Ministry of Agriculture’s science and technology household project Science and technology demonstration households; (4) Agricultural machinery operation service organizations; (5) "Safe Agricultural Machinery" demonstration households.

4. What types of agricultural machinery are subsidized for purchase in 2007?

Answer: In 2007, counties (cities, districts) that used central fiscal subsidy funds mainly subsidized 23 products in 6 categories, including large and medium-sized tractors, farming machinery, planting machinery, plant protection machinery, harvesting machinery and grain drying machinery. Variety of machinery.

Counties (cities, districts) that use provincial fiscal subsidy funds mainly subsidize tractors, farming machinery, planting machinery, plant protection machinery, harvesting machinery, grain drying machinery, facility agricultural machinery and agricultural and sideline product processing. 29 varieties of machines.

5. Where can I check the "Anhui Province 2007 Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Product Catalog" with subsidy categories listed?

6． How much subsidy funds can farmers receive at most when purchasing agricultural machinery?

Answer: A unified subsidy rate will be implemented for agricultural machinery subsidies this year. The subsidy fund for a single machine tool shall not exceed 50,000 yuan. For the specific amount of machine tool subsidies, please refer to the "Anhui Province 2007 Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Product Catalog".

The provincial finance has arranged special subsidy funds to provide special subsidies for corn harvesting machinery, and cumulative subsidies for rice transplanters, subsoiling machines and rotary tillage fertilization seeders. The cumulative subsidy for rice transplanters is RMB 20, with a total subsidy rate of RMB 50; the subsoiler and rotary tillage and fertilization seeders have an accumulative subsidy of RMB 10, with a total subsidy rate of 40.

7. How should farmers apply for machine purchase subsidies and go through relevant procedures?

Answer: According to the requirements of relevant documents, farmers who need to purchase machinery can voluntarily purchase machinery based on the sources of subsidy funds for the year, types of key subsidy machinery, subsidy proportions, subsidy amounts, etc. announced by the local county (city, district) agricultural machinery bureau. Select the machinery to be purchased; apply through the township agricultural machinery management station or directly to the county agricultural machinery bureau according to the announced application time, and fill out the "Machine Purchase Application Form" and submit it to the county agricultural machinery bureau.

8． There are too many people applying for agricultural machinery subsidies here. How do we determine the subsidy recipients?

Answer: If there are too many people applying for agricultural machinery subsidies, and the conditions of those applying for subsidy funds are the same or it is difficult to identify the subsidy objects, the order of subsidy applications or other methods acceptable to the applying farmers (such as Draw lots, lottery, etc.) to confirm.

9. Do farmers’ applications for purchasing machines need to be reviewed and published?

Answer: Yes.

After farmers submit their application forms for machine purchase subsidies, they are generally first reviewed by the township-level agricultural machinery management station, and then reviewed by the county (city, district) agricultural machinery bureau based on the subsidy indicators and priority subsidy conditions to initially determine the list of subsidized machine purchasers. and the name of the machine and equipment, the amount of subsidies, the number of subsidies, etc., and then publish the list within a certain range for 7 days to accept the supervision of the masses. For purchasers who have no objections, the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau will sign a purchase subsidy agreement with the purchaser.

10. When can I get subsidies for buying agricultural machinery? Does it mean that the earlier you apply for a phone purchase, the greater your chance of receiving subsidy funds?

Answer: Because subsidy funds are limited, the number of planned subsidy machines is also limited. When conditions are the same, priority will be given to those who apply first. Therefore, applying early has only advantages and no disadvantages. Each county has a time period as to when to process applications. Generally speaking, within this time period, the earlier you apply, the greater your chance of receiving a subsidy.

11. Will the standards and sales prices of machine tool subsidies fluctuate?

Answer: The subsidy standards and maximum sales prices for machinery and equipment have been clarified in the subsidized product catalogs of each province, and the subsidy standards will remain unchanged within one year. As for sales prices, manufacturers and dealers can go down, but not up.

12． The machine I want to buy this year has been included in the scope of local subsidies, but because I don’t have enough funds to buy it, I plan to buy it next year. Is there still a chance next year?

Answer: This is not necessarily the case. It depends on whether your county can still be included in the subsidy range next year, and whether the machinery you plan to buy can be included in next year's subsidy catalog.

13. Where central government subsidy funds are used, how do farmers get the agricultural machinery they want to buy?

Answer: In counties (cities, districts) that use central fiscal subsidy funds, after the local agricultural machinery bureau announces that farmers’ application for machine purchase subsidies has no objections, the county (city, district) agricultural machinery bureau and farmers who purchase machinery will Sign a machine subsidy agreement and submit it to the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Bureau for filing. When farmers pick up machinery and tools, they submit a "Machine Purchase Subsidy Agreement" to the supplier and pay the difference in price of the machinery and tools after deducting the subsidy amount to take delivery of the goods. The supplier issues machine purchase invoices (based on actual receipts) to farmers who purchase machines. Machine tool subsidy funds are paid directly to the supplier by the Provincial Department of Finance after the manufacturer or supplier has gone through relevant procedures with the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Bureau. This is "difference purchase, unified settlement". For example, the sales price of a 60-horsepower tractor is 50,000 yuan, and the state subsidy is 10,000 yuan. When farmers purchase the tractor, they only need to pay 40,000 yuan to take delivery. This is a "differential purchase" and farmers directly benefit.

14. Where provincial fiscal subsidy funds are used, how can farmers purchase subsidized agricultural machinery?

Answer: In counties (cities, districts) that use provincial fiscal subsidy funds, after the local agricultural machinery bureau announces that there is no objection to farmers’ application for machine purchase subsidies that year, farmers strictly follow the announcement and the signed “purchase agreement”. The name, model, price and quantity of the subsidized machinery in the "Machine Subsidy Agreement" are used to purchase agricultural machinery by oneself. When farmers purchase a machine, they should submit a “Provincial Machine Purchase Subsidy Agreement” to the supplier, and the supplier issues a purchase invoice to the farmer who purchases the machine. With the "Provincial Machine Purchase Subsidy Agreement", invoices and personal identity cards, farmers who purchase machines can go to the county (city, district) finance bureau to receive subsidy funds through the "all-in-one card" method or directly receive subsidy funds.

15. Do I need to go to a designated place to purchase subsidized agricultural machinery?

Answer: Farmers have the right to choose independently within the scope of the "Anhui Province 2007 Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Product Catalog". Departments and units such as county (city, district) agricultural machinery bureaus are not allowed to designate or restrict farmers. Type, brand and location or venue of purchase.

16. I want to buy a subsidized agricultural machinery, but I am worried about the quality. Do subsidized agricultural machinery enjoy the "three guarantees" service?

Answer: Subsidized machines and machines are the same as those sold on the market, and they also enjoy the "three guarantees" services stipulated by the state. Because it is a government subsidy, in terms of after-sales service, the agricultural machinery department requires suppliers to provide better "three guarantees" services. The agricultural machinery department will also strengthen quality supervision to ensure that farmers use subsidized machinery and equipment with confidence and satisfaction.

17. After purchasing subsidized machinery and equipment, can farmers receive free operating training?

Answer: Generally speaking, agricultural machinery manufacturers or sales companies will provide free technical training on machine operation and maintenance. For power machinery such as tractors and combine harvesters, driving operators should also go to formal county-level agricultural machinery technical training departments for training and obtain corresponding driving operation qualifications before they can work on the machines.

18． We are a schistosomiasis prevention and control area. I heard that there will be a special agricultural machinery subsidy this year. What are the requirements for application?

Answer: This year, Anhui Province has included all 27 key comprehensive management project counties into the scope of central fund subsidies, implemented the "machine-replacing cattle" project, improved the level of agricultural mechanization operations, reduced people and livestock working in the fields, and cut off schistosomiasis Transmission routes. Specific operations are carried out simultaneously with agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, and the whole village is implemented. For farmers in villages in areas with severe schistosomiasis epidemics purchasing agricultural machinery and tools for farm operations, the subsidy ratio will be increased to 50%. Preferential subsidies will be given to cattle farmers who have disposed of their cattle. Machine purchasers who enjoy the "machine instead of cattle" subsidy should give priority to ensuring that they provide agricultural machinery operation services to farmers in their villages.

19． After purchasing subsidized equipment, can I resell it to relatives or friends?

Answer: No. Because according to the requirements of relevant documents, farmers who buy subsidized machinery must abide by the commitments made in the "Machine Purchase Subsidy Agreement", that is, in principle, they shall not resell or transfer the purchased subsidized machinery without authorization within two years. Anyone found to be buying or reselling state-subsidized machinery and equipment will be severely investigated and punished.
