China has stepped up frontline deployment of high-end smart agricultural
machinery for this year’s three‑autumn operations (autumn harvest, sowing and
crop care), the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said. Mechanization
advanced markedly during the 14th Five‑Year Plan, and since entering the 15th
Five‑Year period Beijing has been steadily upgrading large, high‑end smart farms
equipment, materially raising three‑autumn operational efficiency. Models moving
into accelerated industrial use include combine grain harvesters with 18 kg/s
feed rates and crop‑protection drones with 85 kg payloads.
