Study On Popularization And Promotion Mechanism Of Agricultural Machinery In Hunan Province

Agricultural mechanization level of agriculture in Hunan Province has experienced a period of rapid development with the introduction of new policies on agriculture and the growing of agricultural inputs in recent years, which contributed greatly to the development of agricultural economy in Hunan Province. However, the promotion of agricultural machinery and mechanism of extension system still follow the previous system, which cannt meet the acquirement of agricultural market development with the current situation. In order to ensure the continued prosperity and healthy development of Hunan agricultural machinery market, it is practical significance to explore the establishment of conditions for agricultural machinery and mechanism of extension systems.The author analysised the demand characteristics for agricultural machinery and the problems existed in development process in Hunan Province based on the summed overview of agricultural development. The author regard that the main reasons affected the development of agricultural machinery in Hunan lies in three aspects. First, the growth rate in per capita income of farmers is too slow. Second, the farmer dont understand on the agricultural market information timely.
