Practical difficulties in popularization of straw briquetting machine
As we all know, straw briquetting machine is a mechanical equipment with comprehensive economic and ecological benefits. The popularization and use of straw briquetting machine in rural areas not only meets the demand of energy conservation and environmental protection, but also brings great economic benefits to farmers. However, the actual promotion process of straw briquetting machine is not smooth sailing. On the way to rural areas, many practical difficulties have been encountered, which seriously hindered the process of straw briquetting machine going deep into rural areas.
So far, there are some difficulties that need to be solved urgently:
First of all, the traditional concept is deeply rooted, and people’s new concept consciousness has not been fully formed. Some farmers lack understanding of straw briquetting machine and are not enthusiastic about straw reuse, so there is still a long way to go to change farmers’ ideology.
Secondly, the income of straw briquetting machine has not formed a scale, and straw collection has not formed an organization. Farmers do not want to invest extra energy and material resources in straw collection.
Last but not the least, the inconvenient traffic. There is no convenient traffic road on the ridge where crops are planted, which undoubtedly increases the cost of transporting straw to the location of the briquetting machine, which is also one of the most difficult problems to solve. Traffic improvement and road construction need the approval of government departments and financial support.
Regarding the comprehensive utilization of straw, both the industry and the academic circles in China have reached a consensus: it is not difficult to turn cheap straw into resources, but the difficulty lies in how to realize industrialization and the corresponding scale, and at the same time obtain higher added value of products. To solve this problem, China must establish a modern scientific straw utilization system, so as to realize the industrialization of straw comprehensive utilization. This is why the technology of straw briquetting machine is very mature at present, but it is difficult to popularize it. The popularization of straw briquetting machine not only requires farmers to change their ideas and enterprises to improve their own capabilities, but also requires government departments to increase policy support and financial subsidies. Only by the joint efforts of the three parties can we really speed up the process of straw briquetting machine going to the countryside and realize the purpose of helping farmers to increase their income.
