(1) The Shanxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and other four departments have jointly issued the "Implementation Scheme for Agricultural Machinery Scrapping and Updating Subsidy" (Notification No. 2 of 2024, issued by the Shanxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs). The scheme aims to promote the scrapping and updating of old agricultural machinery in Shanxi Province.
(2) The scheme requires that the scrapping and updating of old agricultural machinery be carried out in accordance with the principle of "farmer voluntary, policy support, convenience and efficiency, safety and environmental protection". The scheme encourages the scrapping of high-energy, high-polluting, and low-performance old agricultural machinery and promotes the promotion and application of advanced, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly agricultural machinery.
(3) The subsidy objects include farmers and agricultural production and operation organizations, including rural collectives, agricultural cooperatives, agricultural enterprises, and other agricultural production and operation organizations. The subsidy categories include tractors, combine harvesters, feed (grass) crushers, mowers, seeders, and agricultural GPS-assisted driving systems.
(4) The scrapping conditions include machines that have reached or exceeded the scrapping standards or have been in use for more than 10 years, 12 years, or 15 years, depending on the type of machine. If a machine is not in good condition, but has safety hazards, frequent failures, severe damage, or high repair costs, it can also be scrapped.
(5) The subsidy standards include a fixed subsidy for scrapping and a subsidy for updating, which is based on the purchase and application subsidy policy. The fixed subsidy is implemented in accordance with the "Shanxi Province Agricultural Machinery Scrapping Subsidy Standard" (Appendix 1). The updating subsidy is implemented in accordance with the "Shanxi Province Agricultural Machinery Scrapping and Updating Improved Standard Subsidy Standard" (Appendix 2).
(6) The scrapping and updating of agricultural machinery will be implemented through a series of procedures, including scrapping, disassembly and destruction, cancellation of registration, and application for subsidy. The scrapping and updating of agricultural machinery will be supervised and managed by the county-level agricultural and rural departments, and the provincial agricultural and rural departments will be responsible for the overall supervision and management.
(7) The scheme requires that the agricultural and rural departments, financial departments, and commercial departments at all levels strengthen their organizational leadership, clarify their responsibilities, and cooperate closely to ensure the smooth implementation of the scheme. The scheme also requires that the agricultural and rural departments, financial departments, and commercial departments strengthen their management and supervision, and that the agricultural and rural departments strengthen their training and capacity building for their staff.
