eneral Situation Tropical crop machinery is a new special mechanical profession,which began to develop from 1950s to 1960s in China. Because the weather,soil and farm crops varieties in tropical region are greatly different from those in the other regions,most of the traditional farm machinery can’t be directly used in tropical region or on the tropical crops. Tropical crop machinery needs a special design and manufacture. So some professional research institutes and education units were set up and some enterprises were built at that time,and the profession of tropical crop machinery was formed.
Tropical crop machinery is a new special mechanical profession, which beganto develop from 1950s to 1960s in China. Because the weather, soil and farm crops varieties intropical region are greatly different from those in the other regions, most of the traditional farmmachinery can' t be directly used in tropical region or on the tropical crops. Tropical cropmachinery needs a special design and manufacture. So some professional research institutes andeducation units were set up and some enterprises were built at that time, and the profession oftropical crop machinery was formed. Currently, there are two main kinds of tropical crop machineryincluding agricultural product processing machinery and farming machinery. They are extensively usedin planting and processing of various tropical crops such as natural rubber, sisal hemp, cassava,sugarcane, coffee, coconut, pepper etc. Some advanced tropical crop machinery is exported to somesoutheastern Asian countries. Similar to some other professions, the development of tropical cropmachinery profession also needs the support and guarantee of standardization. At the same time, thedevelopment of standardization will bring great progresses to the profession of tropical cropmachinery in the aspects of management, technology and quality.
