This study explored the application of full-process mechanization in the green and efficient production of high-quality rice by taking Mashan Agricultural Service Center in Shangyu District, Zhejiang Province, as a practical case. Against the background of rapid agricultural modernization and increasing demand for green agricultural development in China, the study examined how regional agricultural service centers integrate mechanized seedling cultivation, machine transplanting, field management, plant protection, harvesting, drying, storage, and rice processing into a coordinated agricultural production system. Based on field materials, project documents, and operational cases, the study analyzed the service model, equipment configuration, production organization, and operational effects of the Mashan center. The results showed that full-process mechanization significantly improved rice production efficiency, reduced labor dependence, lowered grain losses during harvesting and postharvest stages, and enhanced the stability and quality consistency of high-quality rice production. In particular, centralized seedling cultivation, emergency mechanized harvesting during typhoon periods, and expanded grain drying capacity played important roles in strengthening regional food security and disaster-response capacity. The study also found that agricultural service centers can effectively bridge the gap between small-scale farmers and modern agricultural technology through socialized agricultural services. At the same time, several challenges remain, including high machinery investment costs, shortages of skilled technicians, uneven mechanization levels among farmers, and increasing climate-related risks. Therefore, future development should focus on improving regional agricultural service networks, strengthening agricultural talent training, promoting practical intelligent agricultural machinery, enhancing digital management, and extending the high-quality rice industry chain. The findings of this study provide practical references for promoting sustainable rice production and agricultural modernization in major rice-producing regions of China.
