Pingnan, July 7 (Chen Guanyan) Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Agricultural Mechanization Service Center (hereinafter referred to as Guangxi Agricultural Machinery Center) introduced on the 26th that the current Guangxi early rice harvest and late rice rush to insert the "double grab" period, in order to prevent typhoons and other major meteorological disasters from affecting grain production, Guangxi Agricultural Machinery Center timely carried out "million agricultural machinery to promote double robbery" and other activities, and made every effort to ensure that grain is harvested and pellets are returned to the warehouse.

On July 7, in Pingnan County, Guigang City, Guangxi, agricultural machinery operators operated agricultural machinery to harvest rice. At present, in the critical period of Guangxi's early rice harvest and late rice rush to plant, Guangxi's agricultural machinery department has held a series of "big competition" activities in various places for rice machine harvest loss reduction skills.

On the same day, the 2023 "One Million Agricultural Machinery to Promote Double Robbery" on-site promotion activity and rice machine harvest loss reduction skills competition activity were held in Pingnan County, Guigang City, Guangxi. Fan Juncan, deputy director of Guangxi Agricultural Machinery Center, introduced at the opening ceremony of the event that since this year's "double grab", Guangxi has invested 84,2 sets of agricultural machinery and tools, completed the harvesting area of early rice machines 997.78 million mu, and late rice machine seeds 212.6 million mu. Wuzhou, Yulin, Beihai and other places in Guangxi have respectively held rice machine harvesting and loss reduction skills competitions, and Liuzhou and guests are also actively preparing to hold large competitions. Agricultural mechanics in various places promote training and skills through competition, and increase grain production by reducing the loss of machine harvesting.

Huang Yan, deputy director of the science and technology promotion department of the Guangxi Agricultural Machinery Center, said that it is estimated that the loss of rice harvest in Guangxi by 1 percentage point will lose 1 million jin of grain, so the reduction is an increase in production. Agricultural machinery departments at all levels in Guangxi attach great importance to the work of reducing the loss of rice machines, and will do their best to reduce food losses by finding out the causes of damage, ensuring the input of agricultural machinery and tools, and strengthening the training of agricultural machinery.

On July 7, in Wangguan Village, Anhuai Town, Pingnan County, Guigang City, Guangxi, agricultural mechanics operated agricultural machinery for rice transplanting operations. At present, during the "double rush" period of early rice harvest and late rice planting, 25,84 sets of agricultural machinery have been invested in Guangxi, and 2,997,78 mu of early rice machine harvesting area and 212.6 million mu of late rice machine have been planted.

It is reported that Guangxi is one of the major rice-producing areas in the country, with a perennial rice planting area of about 2700 million mu. By the end of 2022, the comprehensive mechanization level of rice cultivation and harvesting in Guangxi had reached 83.65%, of which the rice harvesting link had basically been mechanized. (End)
