Sugarcane production is the basic guarantee of sugar supply. Accelerating the mechanization of sugarcane production process is of great significance for enhancing the competitiveness of my country's sugar industry, ensuring industrial safety and sugar supply security, and promoting farmers' income. Relevant experts said that the current difficulties faced by the whole mechanized production of sugarcane are more of a macroeconomic background and a systematic problem of the system and mechanism of sugarcane production. A total solution is needed to fully address this systemic challenge. But this does not mean that in the actual production of sugarcane, sugarcane farmers and manufacturers are helpless in the face of difficulties.

The reporter learned that relevant manufacturers have been exploring ways to improve the mechanization of the whole process of sugarcane production. For example, Zoomlion combined with the agronomic and geomorphological characteristics of sugarcane in Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, based on extensive research on sugar companies and sugarcane farmers, to tackle key technologies of sugarcane harvesters, in the cultivation, planting, management and harvesting of sugarcane production. , transportation, post-processing and other links to make overall planning, and strive to provide a full range of products. At present, a relatively comprehensive product line has been established, and the product adaptability, reliability and operation efficiency have been recognized by the market.

Machine harvesting is the bottleneck of the whole mechanized production of sugarcane, and it is also the main link to reduce the cost of sugarcane production. However, sugarcane farmers generally report that the price of domestic sugarcane harvesters is relatively high, and the burden on users is heavy. Industry insiders said that because the sugarcane harvester technology is more complex, the price is higher than other agricultural machinery products, and the price of foreign brands in the market is higher than that of domestic sugarcane harvesters. However, according to estimates in some areas of Yunnan, sugarcane machine users can reach 5,000 tons in a single pressing season, and the payback period is two years, which is actually equivalent to the payback period of traditional agricultural machinery. The reporter learned that companies like Zoomlion will also provide financial leasing and other services to ensure that users can afford and use them. The relevant person in charge of Zoomlion said that in the future, they will innovate the sales and service model of the sugarcane machine market, strengthen the service system and capacity building of the sugarcane machine, and create an integration of the three functions of sugarcane machine operator training, maintenance services and product operation monitoring. The sugarcane machine service center provides comprehensive services for users and improves users' ability to use, repair and maintain. "At the same time, we are constantly upgrading our products, reducing the failure rate, increasing the universal rate of product accessories, and further reducing the user's cost of use. At present, our sugarcane harvester has a domestic market share of 40%." He said.

Industry experts believe that my country's sugarcane industry is unique. In order to improve the mechanization rate of sugarcane production at all stages, agricultural machinery manufacturers must understand the actual conditions of sugarcane production areas and understand all aspects of sugarcane production. Products for special needs that are perfectly matched to the market. Not only that, in the face of an increasingly "critical" market, there are more service links that need innovation.
