In addition, some countries are also developing local harvesters suitable for local farmers, which will enable developing regions to use appropriate equipment to ensure food security and increase agricultural production capacity.

Many harvesters are equipped with sensors and intelligent systems that can detect the situation in real time and help farmers reduce food loss during harvesting (Chen et al., 2022). Some precision harvesting equipment, such as special threshing headers, can only harvest ears of grain, which not only reduces waste but also improves efficiency, especially when the field conditions are more complicated. These technologies can also automatically adjust according to field data to improve the overall harvesting effect, which is more in line with the goal of green agriculture. 2.3 Ergonomics and environmental improvements In addition to efficiency, people are also paying more and more attention to operator comfort and environmental issues. Today's combine harvesters are more user-friendly, such as adding protective structures, hydraulic controls and easy-to-use operating interfaces, making operation safer and easier. Some environmentally friendly equipment, such as optimized threshing headers and harvesters with adjusted parameters, can not only save fuel, but also reduce food losses and reduce the impact on the environment (Jotautienė et al., 2024). These improvements are particularly suitable for situations with large weather changes and help to harvest wheat well and quickly. 3 Advances in Post-Harvest Processing Technology 3.1 Innovations in grain cleaning and sorting In the past, grain sorting relied on manual labor and experience, but now machines have become the main force. It's not that the previous methods were not good, but now they are more efficient and more precise. Some places are still slowly transitioning, but many areas have introduced various intelligent devices. Words like machine learning and image recognition may have only been heard in laboratories before, but now they are also used in grain sorting (Das et al., 2025). Whether you can pick accurately and sort finely directly affects the subsequent processing and safety. With these systems, machines can identify bad grains, moldy grains, and bacteria. Not only is there less waste, but the overall quality is also improved. The key is speed.
