The organic fertilizer equipment industry is confronted with multiple challenges in its development process, as follows:
1. In terms of technology and equipment: The technology of organic fertilizer production lines is updated rapidly, requiring enterprises to continuously invest a large amount of resources in research and development to enhance the performance and efficiency of the equipment. Although intelligence and automation are the development trends of organic fertilizer equipment, there are still many devices in the industry that remain at the stage of simplicity and miniaturization. Equipment lacking an intelligent control system is inefficient in the production process, with excessive manual intervention, making it difficult to achieve precise production and efficient management.
2. In terms of market and competition: With the continuous expansion of the organic fertilizer market, more and more enterprises have entered this industry, leading to intensified market competition. There are a large number of enterprises in the industry, the phenomenon of product homogeneity is serious, price wars occur frequently, and the profit margin is compressed. Farmers' understanding of organic fertilizers is relatively lagging behind. Some farmers still prefer to use chemical fertilizers, believing that they have a quick effect and low cost.
3. In terms of quality and safety: Some enterprises' organic fertilizers have problems such as unstable fertilizer efficiency, excessive heavy metals, and antibiotic residues. These problems not only affect the market promotion of organic fertilizers, but also pose potential threats to the soil and ecological environment.
4. In terms of policies and costs: Although the state has introduced a series of policies to support the development of the organic fertilizer industry, in the actual implementation process, the support for organic fertilizer equipment enterprises in some regions is still insufficient. For instance, some local governments' subsidy policies for organic fertilizer equipment are not clear enough, or the subsidy standards are relatively low, making it difficult to meet the demands of enterprises.
