Training assessment. The production enterprises participating in the pilot shall submit an application to the competent department of agricultural machinery of the pilot province in accordance with regulations.

Fourth, the conditions of subsidy

The subsidy target is the agricultural production and operation organization engaged in plant protection operations, which mainly includes farmers (agricultural machinery) professional cooperatives, plant protection operation organizations, crop pests and diseases control organizations, etc., and no subsidies will be granted for individual purchase of plant protection unmanned aircraft. The subsidy target should have a certain number of operators qualified by the pilot production enterprises or professional institutions; there is a relatively sound plant protection unmanned aircraft operation management system, including the registration of the warehousing, special personnel custody, plant protection operation process, safe flight control, The system of operation record statistics and other systems; before the declaration of subsidies, the real-name registration or nationality registration has been completed in accordance with the registration regulations for the real-name system of civil unmanned aerial vehicles. Property damage insurance and third-party liability insurance have been insured, and plant protection operations of a certain scale have been completed. .

V. Pilot fund size, subsidy standard and subsidy fund redemption method

In 2017, the pilot funds were arranged in the central government's agricultural machinery purchase subsidy funds, and the total amount of each pilot province was controlled within 10 million yuan. A fixed subsidy is applied to the purchase of pilot products. It is necessary to carry out scientific division on the basis of comprehensive evaluation of the technical specifications of the pilot products, and the subsidy amount for each product shall not be more than 30% of the average market sales price of the products in 2017, and the single machine subsidy shall not exceed 30,000 yuan. If necessary, a qualified social intermediary agency can be entrusted to carry out cost and price verification. Actively innovate the subsidy fund redemption method. After purchasers purchase and complete a certain amount of plant protection operations, they can declare subsidies. When applying for subsidies, they should provide relevant materials such as purchase link materials, operation contracts, and operation quantity certificates, and bear the authenticity. legal liability.

The competent departments of agricultural mechanization of each pilot province shall strictly review and register the enterprises and products that meet the requirements, and determine the scale of plant protection operations and the time limit for the payment of subsidized funds in accordance with the actual conditions of the region and the different purchasers, and purchase and operation according to regulations. Subsidy materials are reviewed and publicized. After completing the review of the materials submitted by the competent agricultural machinery department, the financial department shall timely pay the subsidy funds to the purchaser.

Sixth, pilot operation and management requirements

The pilot work is carried out in a province-based organization, and the operation mode must be scientifically demonstrated and collectively decided. For the conditions of the pilot products and their production enterprises, the relevant requirements can be increased in combination with their own actual conditions to ensure the quality of the pilot products is reliable and the flight operations are safe and controllable.

In order to smoothly carry out this work, according to the relevant provisions of the Central Financial Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Policy Implementation Regulations and the State Council Central Air Force Air Traffic Control Committee "Special Remediation Plan for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles" (Guokong Management [2017] No. 24), the pilot provinces It is necessary to strengthen the supervision and management of the implementation process, and focus on the following tasks: First, increase information disclosure, comprehensively announce the pilot products, subsidy standards, operation methods, implementation areas, benefit information, operation information, etc., and announce the technical advantages of the pilot products. Prompt information such as safe use risk. The second is to standardize the inspection process of subsidized products, strengthen the supervision of abnormal application for subsidies such as single-person multiple sets and short-term large batches, strengthen the verification of operator training qualification certificates, strengthen the verification of plant protection operations, and prudently pay subsidies. The third is to establish and improve the written commitment system for pilot product manufacturers and subsidized beneficiaries, and clarify the company's product quality, after-sales service, intelligent management and control platform construction, remote real-time monitoring, operator training assessment, return and dispute handling, and workload electronic and Responsibility for the provision of written information, etc., clarify the obligations of the subsidy object in complying with the implementation of the subsidy policy, national air traffic control, and general aviation flight regulations. The fourth is to strengthen the tracking and understanding of the effects of plant protection operations on pilot products, timely summarize and refine technical specifications, conscientiously study and grasp the experience and laws of plant protection and unmanned aircraft operation management, and coordinate relevant departments to help subsidized beneficiaries to solve their reasonable and legitimate demands according to actual conditions. The fifth is to conduct a performance appraisal and strengthen the pilot risk management and control. If the problem is frequent or the effect is not obvious, the pilot can be adjusted or stopped. Sixth, strengthen supervision and inspection, strictly abide by violations of rules and regulations, and follow the "Measures for the Treatment of Violating Business Actions of Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Products (Trial)" jointly formulated by the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and the General Office of the Ministry of Finance, as well as the implementation rules of the province, etc. Strictly crack down, blackmail the serious violations according to the violations, and prohibit participation in the implementation of the subsidy policy.
