Business | Chinese government's extension of farmland management contracts with farmers for 30 years has also been regarded as an incentive to encourage farmers to invest more to their land. At the same time, as farms come under more pressure to become profitable, they are more likely to plant double or triple crops annually on a plot of land, making quick, mechanized planting, seeding and harvesting more necessary.
