Policy is good to come to the water-saving irrigation industry how to take advantage of the trend?

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] Agriculture can be said to be the "national heavy weapon". The level of agricultural development is directly related to the supply security of strategic resources such as grain. Therefore, agriculture has always been the focus of national attention. Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Water Resources and other departments jointly issued the “Implementation Plan for Adding 100 Million Mu of Water Saving Irrigation Area during the 13th Five-Year Plan”, which is direct for the development of China's water-saving irrigation industry. Good news.

Policy is good to come to the water-saving irrigation industry how to take advantage of the trend?

The document clearly states: During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, a total of 100 million mu of water-saving irrigation area will be added nationwide! This includes 20.74 million mu of sprinkler irrigation area, 39.11 million mu of micro-irrigation area, and 40.15 million mu of irrigation water for pipelines. It is estimated that by 2020, the coverage of water-saving irrigation across the country will reach 360 million mu.

This is an extremely important opportunity for the water-saving irrigation industry. Under the guidance of the policy, the scale of the water-saving irrigation market is expanding. For industrial investors, it is undoubtedly a better choice to cut through the construction of water conservancy facilities and sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation facilities production and sales, and water-saving irrigation solutions.

Moreover, investors also need to have a certain profit prospects. Therefore, it is also necessary to promote water price reform in various places, set up a reasonable mechanism, and comprehensively promote the construction management mode and management and protection mechanism to ensure the later income of the water conservancy project.

In addition, technically speaking, the more mature water-saving irrigation technologies mainly include low-pressure pipe irrigation, spray micro-irrigation, and channel anti-seepage. However, at present, most of the water-saving irrigation areas in China are still channel anti-seepage. The water-saving rate of this technology is 20%, and the water-saving rate of micro-irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, pipe irrigation and other technologies is expected to reach 40%, 50%, 80%. Has a significant water saving effect. Therefore, at present, it is an important method to expand the area of ​​water-saving irrigation in China and promote various irrigation technologies.

However, due to the lack of leading departments in local governments, local governments cannot coordinate their development in irrigation technology. Therefore, the promotion efficiency of water-saving irrigation technology is extremely low. In addition, at present, the main body of China's strength facilities construction is still the government, and it is handed over to farmers for construction. However, farmers have professional shortcomings in the operation and maintenance of water conservancy facilities, which has led to the destruction of facilities.

Obviously: the lack of operation and maintenance entities has become an important constraint to limit the development of water-saving irrigation industry. In the future, if we want to solve this problem, it is necessary to push the construction of water conservancy facilities in rural areas to the market, and let the enterprises come to the construction and enterprises to operate. Only in this way can we ensure that the water conservancy facilities can exert great value and run for a longer period of time. Investors in water-saving irrigation industry also need to connect with these water conservancy construction enterprises. The two sides cooperate to provide farmers with water-saving irrigation solutions. By setting up infrastructure and developing new irrigation technologies, they will provide irrigation services to farmers and charge a fee. It will be more profitable than simply selling water-saving irrigation facilities and establishing water conservancy facilities.

According to the analysis of the Prospective Industry Research Institute's “China Water Saving Irrigation Industry Market Prospect and Investment Planning Analysis Report”, according to relevant policies, China's agricultural water demand will be reduced to 372 billion cubic meters in 2020, down from the existing 386.9 billion cubic meters. 14.9 billion cubic meters. This volume requires the efforts of participants in the water-saving irrigation industry.
