Silage machine is one of the most popular agricultural machinery products in 2018. This benefits from the inclination of agricultural development policy and agricultural machinery subsidy policy. Among them, the national plan for the adjustment of planting industry structure: according to the requirements of cultivating with seeds and promoting cultivation with seeds, develop silage corn according to local conditions, provide high-quality feed sources, and transform it into value-added on the spot. By 2020, silage corn area will reach 25 million mu, alfalfa area will reach 35 million mu, with diversified development.
From the perspective of subsidy policy, in 2018, the subsidy amount of young forage harvester increased in the whole line, with an average increase of more than 10000 yuan, of which the subsidy amount of disc type green forage harvester with more than 260cm cutting is up to 129600 yuan, up 19600 yuan compared with 2017. Under the influence of the above two factors, the demand for silage harvester will continue to increase.
Facing the market growth of silage machine in recent years, many domestic corn harvester enterprises have launched silage machine products, and began to diversify their business layout. However, from the list of concerns of green forage harvester enterprises on the website of agricultural machinery communication, it is obvious that Shijiazhuang Meidi, which started to layout in the field of silage in the early stage, has occupied the market advantage.
Meidi has been engaged in the research and development of green forage harvester since 2007, and put its products on the market in 2010. In the marketing period from 2010 to 2013, the sales volume increased from 15 sets to 400 sets year by year. By 2014, thanks to the promotion of policies, the sales volume of green forage harvester in Shijiazhuang Meidi, a well-established company, had exceeded 700 sets, realized sales volume of 300 million yuan, and the product supply was in short supply, becoming the legend of domestic green forage harvester enterprises. In the following years, with more and more enterprises entering the field of green forage harvester, the competition intensified, the planting structure of domestic green storage corn gradually improved, and medic green forage harvester entered a stable period of sales, with the annual sales volume basically maintained at 400-500, which is still the leading enterprise in the field of domestic green forage harvester.
