The “13th Five-Year” water-saving irrigation industry broke out soon

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] Although China seems to be rich in water resources, it is actually not the case. There are uneven regional distribution and it is a country with moderate water shortage. On the other hand, the agricultural water use, which accounts for more than half of the total, is obviously flooded, causing great waste and affecting food production. Under the call of water saving and increasing production, the water-saving irrigation industry is expected to usher in an outbreak during the 13th Five-Year Plan.

The “13th Five-Year” water-saving irrigation industry broke out soon

According to the National Agricultural Sustainable Development Plan (2015-2030), by 2020, the effective irrigation rate of farmland in China should reach 55%, the water-saving irrigation rate should reach 64%, and the water-saving irrigation area should be 288 million mu.

According to the above target requirements, the cost of water-saving construction cost is 1,200 yuan/mu, so the market size of the water-saving irrigation industry is at least 100 billion yuan, and the market can have huge potential for improvement.

At present, China's more mature water-saving irrigation technologies mainly include channel anti-seepage, low-pressure pipe irrigation, dropper and spray micro-irrigation. Among them, the channel is mainly anti-seepage, and the water saving rate can reach 20%. The water-saving effect of tube irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and micro-irrigation is also obvious, which satisfies the demand for water saving and growth.

Affected by the monsoon climate and the large population, China's per capita water resources are low, about 2000m?/person, which is a moderate water shortage. At the same time, the regional distribution is uneven, with more south and less north, and it is necessary to rely on building reservoirs and inter-basin dispatching. Vigorously developing water-saving irrigation will help alleviate the contradiction of water scarcity.

China is still a major food importing country. According to the “China's Water Saving Irrigation Industry Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report” provided by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, in 2015, China's soybean imports reached 0.84 billion tons, corn imports reached 2.3 million tons, and rice imports reached 5.3 million. Tons, both hit record highs. In order to reduce import dependence, only a certain area of ​​cultivated land can increase unit output.

In the case of water-saving irrigation, the grain yield is obviously increased. Taking the drip irrigation method as an example, the yield per ton of soybean is over 30%, the growth rate of corn per hectare is over 80%, and the yield per hectare of potato is 30% to 50%.

Therefore, promoting water-saving irrigation is in line with the current era of water shortage and food production. In recent years, China has also continuously increased its support for the water-saving irrigation industry. According to the 2015-2016 national winter and spring farmland water conservancy basic construction planning requirements, the area of ​​water-saving irrigation project needs to be increased by 45.74 million mu before the end of the year.

In general, the prospect of water-saving irrigation industry is good, and the potential market space is broad. In addition, considering the annual investment in water-saving irrigation materials and automation construction, the market prospect of water-saving irrigation is worth looking forward to. It is expected that during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the area of ​​water-saving irrigation will increase significantly, and the water-saving irrigation industry will be in an outbreak period.
