The mechanization of peanut production is a crucial step towards improving the efficiency and reducing the costs of this labor-intensive industry. As one of the four major oil crops and cash crops in China, peanut is an important export agricultural product. However, the current level of mechanized production is low, and the cost of manual labor accounts for a significant portion of the total cost.

The lack of large and medium-sized machinery, poor matching, and single working function are some of the restrictive factors that are hindering the rapid development of the peanut industry. Additionally, family small-scale production is the main factor that restricts the improvement of scale efficiency. The rising labor costs, as well as the labor-consuming and time-consuming aspects of peanut sowing, harvesting, and processing, are further hindering the large-scale production and benefit growth of peanuts.

To address these challenges, it is imperative to speed up the mechanization of peanut production and reduce the production cost. This can be achieved through a number of measures. Firstly, there is a need to speed up the popularization and application of new technologies. Secondly, there is a need to continue improving the production efficiency of machinery while strengthening the reliability and stability of equipment. Thirdly, government agencies should increase support for scientific research units and agricultural machinery manufacturers to promote the emergence of key technologies for peanut machinery. Finally, improving the intelligence and information level of machinery is also critical.

The mechanization of peanut production from sowing to processing is the direction that China’s peanut industry must take. By using the whole mechanization way to produce peanuts, it is possible to effectively improve the working efficiency of agricultural production while saving costs, reducing labor costs, and improving the economic benefits of agricultural production. Using mechanical equipment to sow, harvest, and process peanuts can also improve the working quality and reduce the loss of peanuts on the basis of improving efficiency.

In conclusion, popularizing and applying mechanization technology in the whole process of peanut production is an inevitable trend of agricultural development. This will be of great significance in increasing farmers’ production and income while also boosting China’s competitiveness in the global peanut industry. It is therefore important for all stakeholders to work together towards achieving this goal.
