At the 2026 China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition recently held in Tianjin, numerous Chinese agricultural machinery companies showcased their latest products. Fully automated plant protection drones, in-cab intelligent operating agents installed in tractor cabins, and weeding robots using smart visual recognition systems to distinguish crops from weeds were among the highlights, all reflecting the growing penetration of digital technology.

At the Shandong Wenshang County agricultural demonstration base, a high-horsepower tractor equipped with BeiDou navigation assisted driving was pulling a compound precision seeder, delivering seeds precisely into the soil. The system completes fertilizing, seeding, and soil covering in a single pass, with centimeter-level precision ensuring straight lines and even seed placement, eliminating blank spots at field edges. The base manager noted that agricultural machinery operations are gradually shifting away from reliance on the feel and experience of veteran operators, with significant improvements in overlapping and missed seeding issues that commonly occur with manual driving.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the national comprehensive mechanization rate for crop cultivation, sowing, and harvesting has reached 76.82%. China has 19.99 million tractors and 42.16 million matching implements. In recent years, high-end smart agricultural machinery has accelerated deployment, with 300-horsepower continuously variable transmission tractors, electric-drive high-speed precision seeders, and 15 kg/s feed-rate grain combine harvesters achieving mass production.

Professor Qiu Tongwei of Nanjing Agricultural University noted that for decades, the main thrust of agricultural mechanization was replacing human and animal labor with mechanical power. With the deployment of BeiDou navigation and machine vision technologies, the core of smart agricultural machinery has shifted toward capturing and calibrating farming experience, enabling precise and controllable digital farming standards.

This transformation is extending beyond the favorable conditions of contiguous plains into previously challenging production environments. In hilly and mountainous areas, lightweight and miniaturized smart machinery is accelerating the transition from laboratory to field, addressing the long-standing bottleneck of fragmented plots, steep slopes, and narrow access. Multiple regions are innovating collaboratively to push agricultural machinery’s operational boundaries into more diverse cultivated spaces, gradually moving from “no machines available” to “good machines available” for hilly terrain farming.
