en.Wedoany.com Reported - Shanghai has introduced an implementation plan for the 2026 agricultural machinery purchase and application subsidy, featuring "subsidies for superior machines" and a "dynamic entry and exit" mechanism. The plan clearly includes machinery such as grain combine harvesters, wheeled tractors, grain dryers, and BeiDou assisted driving systems in the "subsidies for superior machines" scope, while also implementing an orderly phase-out of outdated and backward agricultural machinery. The plan was jointly formulated by the Shanghai Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Commission and the Shanghai Municipal Finance Bureau.
In accordance with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' work requirements for "subsidies for superior machines" and "dynamic entry and exit," Shanghai has added grain dryers, a type of grain processing machinery, to the subsidy catalog. This addition is based on the existing four categories of machinery—seeders, harvesting machinery for major grain and oil crops, BeiDou assisted driving systems, and high-end intelligent and hilly/mountainous area-suitable tractors—combined with local agricultural production realities, and following a process of soliciting opinions, expert review, and submission to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs for approval.
Regarding subsidy standards, the plan sets out the classification parameters and specific subsidy amounts for the "subsidies for superior machines" machinery. The subsidy amounts for grain combine harvesters, wheeled tractors, and grain dryers are detailed in Annex 1; the subsidy amount for the BeiDou assisted driving system refers to the previously issued "Shanghai 2024-2026 Agricultural Machinery Purchase and Application Subsidy Machinery Subsidy Amount List (First Batch)." The subsidy recipients and operational procedures will follow the current "Shanghai 2024-2026 Agricultural Machinery Purchase and Application Subsidy Implementation Plan."
The plan specifies a series of work measures. Agricultural machinery manufacturers must submit a letter of commitment when filing their products, and production and sales enterprises must sign an agreement on application quality and reliability with the purchasing entities, which is then filed by the purchaser with the district-level agriculture and rural affairs department through the subsidy system. District-level departments will conduct a comprehensive quality survey on newly cataloged subsidized products that have completed one operating season; products that fail to meet standards will be removed from the "subsidies for superior machines" catalog following a public announcement procedure. Meanwhile, municipal and district-level agricultural machinery appraisal and extension departments will conduct on-site demonstration evaluations or verifications for higher-risk machinery and carry out cost-benefit evaluations for "superior machines."
The plan also emphasizes strengthening risk prevention and control, monitoring operational conditions through information technology means such as the Agricultural Machinery Internet of Things, and strictly preventing fraudulent subsidy claims. It highlights the need to pay special attention to abnormal situations such as concentrated purchases of a single product, multiple units purchased by one individual, and large-volume purchases within a short period. Furthermore, the plan calls for enhanced policy interpretation and coordination with other provinces in the Yangtze River Delta region to ensure consistent policy orientations.
