China's agricultural production equipment industry

The agricultural production equipment industry in China has accelerated its overseas expansion in the past decade, achieving a structural transition from 'product export' to 'systematic overseas expansion'. In 2025, the export volume of agricultural machinery will reach 67.419 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 32.3%, of which the 'the Belt and Road' countries will contribute more than 70%, Southeast Asia (45%), Africa (46.6%) and Latin America (26.69% in 2024) will become core markets, and Indonesia, Nigeria and Brazil are high growth destinations. Leading enterprises such as Zoomlion have established 7 manufacturing bases in Europe, India, and Brazil, Weichai Lovol has entered the high-end market through the acquisition of Italian Apos, and Xinyuan Intelligent Manufacturing has set up a factory in Vietnam to achieve localized production. On the technical level, intelligent technologies such as Beidou navigation, autonomous driving, electric drive hybrid, and centimeter level precision operation are widely used, significantly improving product adaptability: small harvesters are adapted to African hilly terrain, wind resistant sand micro tillage machines optimize Sahara edge operations, and intelligent rice transplanters meet the needs of paddy fields in Southeast Asia. At the policy level, the 'Fifteenth Five Year Plan' clearly supports the high-quality export of agricultural machinery and equipment, and the 'the Belt and Road' project promotes overseas factory building and technical cooperation, such as the construction of a 100 mu production base for Wode agricultural machinery in Uzbekistan. Chinese agricultural machinery is reshaping the global agricultural equipment landscape with high cost-effectiveness, strong customization, and full chain services.
