Reflection on Developmental Trend & Emphases of Agricultural Mechanization Technology in China During the Period of the "Tenth-Five-Year" Plan

During the period of the "Tenth Five Year" Plan, agricultural mechanization technology in China faces the new situation of agricultual structural adjustment, western region development and China's entry to the WTO, the innovation and broadening the field of agricultural mechanization technology should be insisted on and encouraged, and the principle of different emphases in different types of regions and making breakthroughs of focal points should be implemented. The emphases are to research and develop bottleneck technologies in developing agricultural mechanization technologies, energy saving and efficiency increasing technologies, technologies for promoting agricultural sustainable development and to popularize "Ten Important Agricultural Mechanization Technologies", which will provide powerful equipment and technological support for increasing agricultural efficiencies, benefits and farmers' incomes, realizing agricultural modernization and sustainable development of agriculture.
