Production of agricultural machinery

Russia has huge agrarian potential. In recent years, the country has witnessed the growth of productivity in all agricultural sectors.

Today for the introduction of profitable agribusiness we need new powerful machinery that should come to replace the serviced equipment.

Features of agricultural machinery production in Russia

Renewal of the fleet of machines in agricultural enterprises is constantly going on, and here a big role is played by state programs for the development of agribusiness, such as "Strategy for the development of agricultural machinery in Russia until 2020."

There is a tendency to increase the production of own competitive agricultural machinery. Only sales of Russian tractors grew from 934 units in 2013 to 2610 units in 2015.

Quality and cost of agricultural machinery of Russian production

The largest producers of agricultural machinery in Russia are:

• Rostselmash Combine Plant;


• Tractor Plants Concern;


• Petersburg Tractor Plant.

All these enterprises are used for the production of agricultural machinery for 90% of Russian components. This allows you to economically save on the price, as well as to produce a replacement of details in a minimum of time.

In order to reduce and facilitate the transportation of special equipment, the location of factories in the districts where this type of agricultural machinery is needed is more:

• grain harvesters produce there, where the main grain centers - "Rostselmash", Rostov and Krasnoyarsk plants lead the domestic market for the production of combines;


• linouborochnuyu technique is released in Bezhetsk;


• potato fleece - in Ryazan;


• silosuborochnuyu - in Lyubertsy;


• components and parts are produced in Omsk, Syzran, Novosibirsk;


• tractors - in Vladimir, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Lipetsk, Petrozavodsk, Barnaul and Cheboksary.

The cost of domestic special equipment is more affordable, the level of quality is high.

For example, in Rostselmash there are own productions:

• cast iron;


• metal-cutting;


• mechanical processing;


• сварочно-окрасочное;


• assembly.

All stages of production, starting with design development and ending with service, are carried out with the use of advanced technologies. This allows you to quickly assimilate and launch a series of new models and modifications.

Forecast of agricultural production in Russia in 2017

According to analytical forecasts, in Russia, 150 million tons of grain should be produced, compared to 117 million tons in 2016. Such a level can be provided only when using modern agricultural machinery.

In the first half of 2017, the level of production of agricultural machinery grew in the categories:

• all-wheel drive tractors - by 45%;


• plows - at 9%;


• storms - by 11%;


• seeders - at 12%;


• grain harvesters - by 18%;


• pollsters - at 23%;


• fertilization machines - by 19%;


• balers - at 8%.

However, the forecast for the second half of 2017 is not so optimistic as to why the programs will stop № 1432 on state subsidies for factories with discounts of 15-20%. It turned out that the total amount of subsidies in the amount of 13.7 billion., Which was allocated by the government, is not enough.

Factories for the production of agricultural machinery at the exhibition

Exhibition "Agroprodmash" brings together manufacturers of agricultural machinery from different countries.

Among the Russian factories that demonstrate their achievements can be noted:

• Rostselmash;


• Bryanskselmash;


• Petersburg Tractor Plant;


• CJSC "Agrotechmash";


• Tractor Plants Concern.

At the exhibition Agroprodmash you can see the most popular models of agricultural machinery, as well as innovations in the industry.
