[HIGHLIGHTS] In the fields of hope丨Precisely sow seeds and increase yields! This year, our country will have more than 23 million units (sets) of agricultural machinery and equipment put into use for spring plowing and management.

The latest agricultural dispatch from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that nearly 10% of the country’s spring grain crops have been sown. In recent days, sales of high-performance seeders at this agricultural machinery factory in Siping have been booming, with sales increasing by 10% year-on-year from January to March.

The central government has arranged a total of more than 250 billion yuan in agricultural machinery purchase and application subsidies to support farmers in purchasing and using advanced and applicable agricultural machinery. Machine purchase subsidy funds for 2024 are being gradually released.
