Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth CPC Central Committee Unveils the SOE Reform

Concluded in the last month, the

third plenary session of the eighteenth

CPC Central Committee sets off a new

round of reform and proposes market-

oriented resource allocation with less ad-

ministrative intervention to further consol-

idate the roles played by the market. This

undoubtedly raises urgent requirements

on reform for state-owned enterprises

(SOEs) that are normally entitled to more

resource and system benefits.

The plenary session stressed that SOE

reform, which had always been the a core

task for economic system reform, must

adhere to the basic rules of unwaveringly

consolidating and developing the public

economy, persisting in the dominant posi-

tion of the public ownership, giving full

rein to the guiding function of the state-

owned economy, and incessantly strength-

ening the vitality, control power and

influence of the state-owned economy.

Obviously, the position and function of the

state-owned economy cannot be replaced

or weakened. Meanwhile, the influence

and control power of the state-owned

economy depends on its vitality. The focus

of SOE reform will be shifted from the sim-

ple pursuit of quantity increase to quality

and efficiency improvement.\.

Now, the new round of reform has

set off, which brings both golden opportu-

nities and huge challenges for SOEs. SOEs

must speed up the equity diversification

reform, develop a mixed ownership econ-

omy, deepen the management system

reform, and improve enterprise systems to

break away from the existing development

mode, and cope with the double challenge

of SOE development and market pressure.

Lively Atmosphere in SINOMACH’s Recruitment Meeting for Fresh Graduates of 2014

CAAMS Has Developed a Model Harvester with the Highest Feeding Rate in China

In a field stretching as far as one

can see, a combine harvester, equipped

with an 8-m cutting platform, is working

impressively. With a feeding rate of 10 kg/

s, it has a considerable advantage over

other models of harvesters. Its automatic

attended the recruitment meeting. The

recruitment team presented to the fresh

graduates SINOMACH’s positive social im-

age and operation achievements in recent

years through promotional video playing

navigation, CAN bus, and other functions

enabled by cutting-edge technology also

consolidate its leading position in harvest-

ers.

This is the model of the general-pur-

pose multi-functional harvester developed

and on-site introduction, arousing the

graduates’ great interest and leaving them

with a deep impression.

This recruitment meeting also cre-

ated a platform for companies to recruit

talent. The atmosphere was lively with

fresh graduates from many colleges of

Beijing eagerly submitting their resumes

and enthusiastically communicating with

employers. The graduates showed their

great interest in SINOMACH. Some of them

signed employment contracts with com-

panies and a lot of them expressed their

intent to work with these companies. With

the active attendance of member compa-

nies of SINOMACH and the warm welcome

from college teachers and students, the re-

cruitment meeting achieved good results.

and manufactured by the Chinese Academy

of Agricultural Mechanization Sciences

(CAAMS). It not only creates a new record of

feeding rate but also manages to penetrate

markets that are technically monopolized by

manufacturers outside China.

On November 6, in Beijing University

of Aeronautics and Astronautics, SINOM-

ACH held a recruitment meeting for col-

lege students who will graduate in 2014.

Twenty member companies of SINOMACH

In August and October this year,

the general-purpose multi-functional

harvester ran on a trial basis, harvesting

wheat, soybeans, and rice, and successfully

passed the test by China National Agricul-

tural Machinery Quality Supervision Test-

ing Center. With its 8m cutting platform,

this model can reap wheat, rice, soybeans,

and other crops, embodying the general-

purpose quality of this model. When a spe-

cialized head is installed, the harvester can

also be used for corn harvesting. Besides,

this model is capable of reaping, feeding,

threshing, and winnowing at the same

time. The loss rate is lower than the limit

stipulated in relevant national standards,

which marks a major breakthrough in

technology development for large com-

bine harvesters and embodies the multi-

functional feature of this model.

It’s even more worth mentioning

that the emergence of this model not only

increases the harvester’s feeding rate from

2/3/5 kg/s to 10 kg/s, but also liberates

the drivers from complex operating pro-

cedures. It is widely known that the driver

plays a critical role during harvesting.

However, the truth is that drivers get tired

or even exhausted after six to seven hours

of continuous and intensive working no

matter how experienced they are or how

strong their sense of responsibility is.

With the application of cutting-edge

technologies, such as automatic naviga-

tion and CAN bus, this model is capable of

automatic harvesting, fault self-detection,

loss rate monitoring, work data collec-

tion and analysis, and automatic decision-

making on harvesting solution. As the

axial-flow technology oriented towards

large harvesting machine is adopted, great

progress is made in the performance of

threshing and winnowing functions and

efficiency improvement. This model makes

CAAMS’s all dreams about harvesters in

terms of automation and intelligent con-

trol come true.

It is learnt that the model, with a

feeding rate of 10 kg/s, is a mainstream

model in the current international market.

The sales volume of harvesters featured

by this feeding rate takes up about 20% of

the total sales volume in the global mar-

ket. In China, harvesters of this kind are

more urgently needed. Except for Xinjiang

and northeast China where the market is

dominated by conventional large agricul-

tural machinery, many areas in China, such

as Hebei and Shandong provinces, where

the number of fields covering an area of

over 66.7 hectare is increasing due to land

transfer, are in urgent need of this model

of harvester. In China, the market has

always been monopolized by foreign en-

terprises because there was no technology

in China to support the development and

manufacturing of this model of harvesters.

After CAAMS has successfully de-

veloped the model of general-purpose

multi-functional combine harvester with

a feeding rate of 10 kg/s, the market origi-

nally monopolized by foreign harvesters is

penetrated by harvesters developed and

manufactured in China. This lays a solid

foundation for the development of China’s

agricultural machinery and considerably

satisfies the need for harvesters in markets

in and outside China.

Angola Longa Rice Farm Project A Successful Attempt by China CAMC on Overseas Agriculture Projects

In summer, it is an extraordinary ex-

perience to view full-of-eye green scene

in the Longa rice farm. Large sectors of

rice plants on the right side of Longa River

seem like a vast green sea. The original

wildland of 1500 square meters near the

Longa River now changes to a rice granary

after several years of hard work. The efforts

on this land finally get rewarded – an ex-

citing rice harvest.

Angola has an arable land of more

than 35,000,000 square meters, but 88%

(about 31,000,000 square meters) is not

developed for farming. Although Angola

is a big agricultural nation, the agricultural

infrastructure in Angola lags behind, es-

pecially due to the years of the civil wars

when the agricultural infrastructure was

destroyed dramatically. In addition, the

organization level of agricultural behaviors

is very backward, and farmers are not well

educated, which limit the wide application

of scientific methods in the agriculture..

A large-scale modern farm in Angola is of

great significance for promoting the plants

and aquaculture industries in this country.

The Longa rice farm project is developed

by China CAMC engineering Co., Ltd to

meet the requirements. The success of the

Longa farm project also has a significant

meaning for international agricultural co-

operation. This project not only enhances

the confidence in wider agricultural coop-

eration between Angola and China, but

also promotes the smooth progress of

other relevant projects.

Reclamation

Two years ago, all lands on the Longa

River plain in the Cuando Cubango prov-

ince in Angola were wastelands. To ensure

sufficient food supply, boost agricultural

production, grow the local economy, and

improve the living of local people, Angola

agricultural ministry determined to carry

out the construction project of the Longa

rice farm and assigned this project to the

China CAMC engineering Co., Ltd.

At the very beginning, China CAMC’s

only facilities were one temporary camp

on the wide waste plain, two tractors, and

several farming devices. Several CAMC en-

gineers worked with local Angolan farmers

and started the formidable task to change

the wasteland to a fertile farmland.

Reclamation is extraordinarily hard.

These lands seemed to have never been

cultivated and were covered with weeds

and shrubs.. The lands around rivers and

lakes were muddy, and vehicles could eas-

ily fall into the muddy lands. The difficulty

in exploitation and transportation delayed

the entire progress. However, the agricul-

By：Wu Keqiang, Zhang Jiantao, Sun Qiang

26SPECIAL REPORTSSPECIAL REPORT

27tural planting is seasonal. If seeds were not

sowed in the correct season, there would

no harvest. To complete the tasks in cor-

rect seasons, CAMC engineers mastered

the strange art of transforming nothing

into something. They finally overcame all

obstacles in cultivating and preparing the

experimental lands and accumulated pre-

cious experience in exploitation and plant-

ing.

Rice Seed Selection

In the unfamiliar lands in Longa,

CAMC engineers knew little about local

meteorology, hydrology, and soil materi-

als. However, rice is easily affected by

environment changes and has a high re-

quirement on the environment. Therefore,

the key task was to breed good strains

that adapted to the local environmental

conditions. The good strains were the key

factor for the success of the farm project.

According to the implementation plan of

this project, CAMC engineers defined the

principle of “exploiting lands while plant-

ing”. With the exploitation, the experimen-

tal lands became more suitable for plant-

ing. Rice seeds were delivered to the lands

in batches and planted in these lands that

were more and more suitable for rice.

At the beginning of 2011, the pro-

ject team bred more than 100 rice strains

selected from 343 strains in China accord-

ing to the meteorology, hydrology, soil,

ganese ion.. After the scientific experiment

and management in one planting season,

the project team summarized a series of

sowing, irrigation, and field management

operations, as the precious experience for

the next planting season.

Planting and Cultivation

After drastic reclamation of waste-

lands and rigorous screening of strains

on Longa farm, second planting season

came. Agriculture in Angola had advanta-

geous ecological environment. Severe

natural disasters rarely occurred. However,

the civil wars had destroyed the agricul-

tural infrastructure and the local Angolan

people were poorly educated. The fast

development of agricultural industry

was seriously restricted by the backward

agricultural production patterns and tech-

nology. The CAMC team made full use of

technological experience of agricultural

engineering of China CAMC and adopted

scientific cultivation methods, irrigation

technology, and management measures

in this project. By adhering to the innova-

tive principle and aiming to find the most

suitable method for the farm, this project

team set an example of scientific agricul-

and altitude of Angola. After a series of

follow-on experiments and evaluation, the

project team primarily screened out more

than 40 strains and arranged other people

to deliver the rice seeds to the Longa farm

by batches. Since December 17, 2011, the

project team had been comparing these

seeds by using mechanical direct seed-

ing, manual sowing, and transplanting.

The team also periodically compared the

growing results of different crop density,

irrigation volume, fertilizer sowing rate,

and pest control measures. By the end of

January 2012, the team had completed the

sowing and cultivation of nine large strains

and 35 small strains. During field operation

and management, to screen out the most

proper strains for the local environment

and master the field management system,

the professional agricultural experts in

the CAMC project continuously adjusted

the irrigation, fertilization, and pest con-

trol methods according to the vegetative

characters of each rice strain in the fol-

lowing three months. Finally, four good

strains were selected. The four strains were

resistant to low temperature, lodging and

adapted to the local soil condition with

the resistance to acid, cupric ion, and man-

ture development in Angola.

Based on the accumulated experi-

ence in the experimental lands in the last

planning season, the project team bravely

adopted the dry and direct seeding meth-

od to implement mechanical seeding in

the following seasons. The dry and direct

seeding method greatly improved the

sowing efficiency, which facilitated mass

production. In addition, the method en-

hanced soil usage, eliminated transplant-

ing in traditional seeding, and shortened

rice lifecycle, reducing manual costs and

field management costs. Besides, the dry

and direct seeding method facilitated the

tillering of low nodes of rice plants, result-

ing in reasonable proportion of stalks and

spikes, and high earbearing tiller rate and

spike items. With this method, rice produc-

tion was greatly increased.

Although the advanced sowing

technology was adopted, the project team

had to face the problems brought by the

environment. At the experimental plant-

ing of rice, the team found that the rates

of cupric ion and manganese ion were

much higher than the maximum rates that

were suitable for rice growth. In addition,

the soil was sandy. The permeability coef-

ficient of the sandy soil was 0.3-0.9 m/d in

the Longa rice farm. When the raindrops

reached the land, they immediately disap-

peared. For sandy soil, the traditional irri-

gation and fertilization methods were not

applicable here, especially for rice plants

which needed high irrigation volume.

After repeated experiments, the pro-

ject team adopted “moist irrigation”, one

of innovative rice planting concept, for the

Longa farm that had an acid soil. The moist

irrigation method was different from the

traditional saturated irrigation method.

The moist irrigation method was aimed

to meet the basic physiological water re-

quirements of rice growth. In addition, this

method used the water sprayers to contin-

ue spraying water to rice plants to retain

the soil and air humidity. As for strains, the

project team selected the strains that were

acid-, cropper ion-, and manganese ion-

resistant based on the previous research.

As for fertilization, the project team ferti-

lized rice plants frequently but spread little

manure each timein consideration of high

permeability coefficient and low fertility-

retaining capacity of soil in the farm. The

preceding methods adopted in the first

planting season proved to be effective.

These, these methods that were applied

in a large scale in this first season brought

out high grain output. In this way, the

project team achieved innovative research

success on the overseas rice planting.

Prospects

The harvest season is always full of

happiness. After endeavoring to the pro-

ject within two years, China CAMC project

team fulfilled the promise of output com-

mitted at the very beginning. The project

was the first attempt for China CAMC to

expand agricultural projects to the over-

seas market and set an example of agri-

cultural cooperation between China and

Angola.

This project was recognized by the

Angola government officials such as vice

chair of the party in power, vice president,

planning department minister, fishing

department minister, and foreign missions

such as European union ministries and the

ministry of Mozambique mission to An-

gola. China CAMC next-step plan is to con-

tinue to focus on the Angola Longa rice

farm, the Angola Camcupa farm, and the

Angola Cuimba farm to be constructed,

in order to enhance the close agricultural

cooperation between China and Angola.

by several companies from Japan, Taiwan,

Malaysia, India, and China. Kinte, one of

the companies that belong to China Na-

ject, the Indian company takes charge of

construction and installation while Kinte is

in charge of onsite management and gen-

eral project contract.

Facing Up to the Problems in the Incredible India

As claimed by India government, India

is incredible. In fact, India is a nation that

combines traditional concept, culture, habits,

and religion with modern education and ad-

vanced international management concept.

However, it is difficult for Indian to transform

advanced concept into implemenation.

Therefore, many companies that undertake

the 3rd motorcycle factory of India Honda

establish a branch in India. However, Kinte

does not establish a branch but assigns only

one project team that is composed of hon-

est and hard-working engineers. The Kinte

team sets a goal of timely and high-quality

construction without accident.

The Kinte team has a reputation

for hard working in all the companies

involved in this motorcycle factory. Each

member in the Kinte team does not enjoy

any holidays and is totally immersed in the

project. In addition to spending time on 3S

management, security protection, quality

management, and progress management,

each member needs to manually perform

installation.

The Kinte team has a strong sense

of time keeping because they all keep in

mind that they must complete tasks in

time. An employee still started his work at

7:00 am even when he arrived India at 3:00

am at night. Another employee didn’t go

home several times when he go to India

for work by way of the city to which his

home belongs. These employees’ behav-

iors indicate their professional dedication

spirit, which is highly respectedby Indian

colleagues.

Striving for the Exquisite Works with Brand Kinte

The Kinte project team is composed

of members in different majors such as

management, design, technique, construc-

tion, and translation. Although the work is

individually different, all the members are

united together to efficiently complete the

project in a scientific way. Compared with

installation and commissioning, transla-

tion is a relatively easier job in this project.

However, the translator in the Kinte team

not only finished his own work, but also re-

leased goods from inventory. Sometimes,

the translator inspected to-be-installed

devices and even carried out installation

by himself.

In order to conform to the project

progress, many members gave up the op-

portunity to enjoy holidays and meet fami-

lies in the Chinese Spring Festival, which is

the most important festival in China. They

endeavored to complete work and also

tried their best to help other colleagues if

possible. Rework did not happen during

the entire installation because the Kinte

engineers are professional experts, which

was incredible to Indian engineers. All you

feel at the onsite construction place is that

everything is going smoothly, securely and

efficiently.

Although the work was really hard,

it strengthened the will of the Kinte team,

and the team improved the brand image.

Marching Forward After Success

The Japanese company in charge of

civil engineering postponed construction

for several times, which lead to the device

installation delay till November, 2012,

although the prerequisites for device

installation are met on July, 2012. When

commissioning finally started, the electric-

ity, water, and gas supply are delayed coin-

cidentally. All these types of delay caused

difficulties for following work. Under these

unfavorable conditions, the Kinte team

was the first company who completed the

planned tasks on time.

The Kinte people stick to the belief

that where there is a will, there is a way. At

the very beginning, many Japanese com-

panies involved in this project thought

Kinte was just an ordinary Chinese com-

pany which was unable to compete with

them. However, with the progress of the

project, the Indian companies dispelled

their suspicions and the Japanese com-

panies realized they had a wrong thought

about Kinte. Up to the middle and late

period of this project, Japan Honda man-

agement personnel highly appraised the

onsite management level of Kinte and

asked other companies to learn from Kinte.

During the commissioning, the Kinte team

earned the recognition of Honda technical

support personnel who claimed that Kinte

is No. 1 company among all the companies

involved in the construction of 3rd motor-

cycle factory of India Honda.

When the Kinte team departed from

India, the manager of the 3rd motorcycle

factory of India Honda told the team lead-

er Mr. Tang Minghua personally that Kinte

was a very good company and invited

Kinte to continue to join the construction

of 4th motorcycle factory of India Honda.

This invitation is the most precious honor

for all members in the Kinte team. All they

have done get rewards. More dreams will

come true for these diligent people. Kinte,

you can expect the best!
