Jilin is just one example of China's push to develop modern agriculture.

The country had 1.14 million combine harvesters and 14.31 million items of irrigation and drainage equipment by the end of 2016, up 105.3 percent and 6.1 percent respectively compared with a decade ago, according to results of the country's third national agricultural survey.

Li Weiguo, an official with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that China would advance the scientific and technological innovation of agricultural machines, providing efficient equipment and technical support for the upgrading of its agricultural mechanization.

The big market has attracted foreign brands. World famous equipment manufacturers such as John Deere and AGCO from the United States and Italy's SDF Group are frequent visitors of machinery exhibitions and agricultural fairs held in China.

Accompanying the increasing use of machinery is the growth of scale farming.

Around 2 million specialized farmer's cooperatives were registered in China by the end of November, 76 times the number a decade ago, according to the ministry.

Currently, the cooperatives have over 100 million rural households participating, which account for 46.8 percent of the country's total.

Through specialized cooperatives, farmers engaged in the same kind of agricultural production are able to pool resources and increase productivity.
