Adjust font size:

Industrial output of China's large-scale machinery sectors rose 5.4 percent year-on-year in the first two months of 2009, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a recent report.

Farm machinery and equipment industry surged as more subsidies were granted. In February alone, the production of large and medium-sized tractors rose 51.4 percent and 60.1 percent, respectively, the ministry said.

Heavy machinery and equipment sector, driven by the country's ambitious infrastructure investments, also saw a rise. From January to February, manufacturing of equipment for mining, cement and metal smelting all rose between 4 to 16 percent.

Benefiting from a series of boosting measures, such as tax cut, auto producers have sold 1.56 million cars in the first two months, up 2.7 percent over the same period last year.

Large-scale shipping industry saw a 43.9 percent growth over the same period last year. Its total industrial output stood at 67.9 billion yuan (9.94 billion U.S. dollars), the ministry said.
