Reporter from recently held of Guangxi sugarcane production mechanized site watch will Shang was informed that, from this press quarter up, in China maximum of sucrose production base Guangxi decided future two year in sugarcane main producing areas construction 4 a province (area) level “million acres sugarcane full mechanized demonstration area” and 6 a city level “thousand acres sugarcane production full mechanized demonstration area”, to further speed up sugarcane mechanized production pace, sharply reduced production cost.
In the project in 4 provinces (district) level mechanization of sugarcane production demonstration area with a total investment of $ 4 million, 6 demonstration area of the municipality with a total investment of $ 3 million. The industry believes that current international competitiveness of Chinese sugar industry is not strong, one reason is the failure to realize scale operation and mechanization of sugarcane production, this initiative is working to change this situation in Guangxi.
Guangxi sugar industry association said two thousand ten-two thousand elevenths expressed quarter of year Trojan into pressing 55.66 million tons of sugarcane in Guangxi, expressed quarter of the sugar cane planted area in Guangxi 15.6 million acres, is ranked the first place.
Introduction of Guangxi sugar industry association, promote the mechanization of sugarcane production in our country has for many years, the production process involves deep, seeder, Earth up machines, harvesters machines such as leaf machine, but at the moment problem, implementation of the most difficult is still the most salient mechanized harvesting, tens of millions of tons of sugarcane per year cut the basic artificial root is a root collection.
Sugarcane grower told reporters that the sugarcane harvest must completed within the specified time in the press, usually have to work, a person about a day could cut 0. 7 tons, but wages are generally required to $ 50-60, when short of even higher. If you follow the 1 ton of sugarcane sold $ 350, 20% per cent of the income you want to use to start money.
World’s main sugar yield of sugarcane mechanization harvesting rate is above 70%, sugarcane mechanization harvesting rate is too low in China, such as Guangxi only 0. About 1%, which led to the low productivity, high cost of production. According to expert estimates, sugarcane harvesting links employment accounted for about 50% of sugarcane production, total spending as a share of sugarcane production cost about one-third, job tough conditions, low labor intensity, and efficiency.
Some State-owned farms in the area of mechanized production there is effective. Sugarcane production in Guangxi State-Golden farm has been basically achieved from species to collect “one-stop” jobs to 80% above the level of comprehensive mechanization of sugarcane production, mechanized harvesting efficiency is 30 times more than double of the artificial.
