By 2025, Tianjin Port, as one of northern China's most important import and export gateways, will see its agricultural machinery trade characterized by "import-led, export-assisted, and serving the hinterland." Total import and export volumes will remain stable, but its position as the primary channel for importing high-end agricultural machinery and large equipment will be further highlighted.

Tianjin's agricultural machinery imports and exports will continue to demonstrate its core function as the "main channel for agricultural machinery imports in northern China." Imports will be the absolute mainstay, with a clear trend toward higher-end and larger products. While exports will not dominate, they offer considerable growth potential and development opportunities. Overall, Tianjin's agricultural machinery trade will be stable, high-quality, and service-oriented.
