XI'AN, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) — With the assistance of Yan Fengxin, associate professor of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, a company in east China's Shandong Province has recently launched the production of electric tricycles for agricultural use in Khujand, Tajikistan, and introduced the products to the local market.

The company's factory is located in the China-Tajikistan Agricultural Digitalization Science and Technology Demonstration Park, which was established in Khujand in July 2024. The park also has several related companies involved in battery production and vehicle painting, Yan Fengxin said.

“As a professor specializing in research on intelligent machinery and equipment in agriculture, I think being able to apply my knowledge to the actual production of agricultural machinery is really meaningful,” he said.

In recent years, the above-mentioned university has implemented a number of agricultural cooperation programs in the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, including educational exchanges, construction of agricultural technology demonstration parks, scientific and technological cooperation and the implementation of its results.

Even before the establishment of the demonstration park in Tajikistan, the university opened seven similar demonstration parks in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus and other countries.

This park is focused on solving common scientific problems and developing key industrial technologies relevant to modern agriculture in Tajikistan. It was created through the joint efforts of government agencies, universities and agricultural enterprises in Tajikistan, as well as relevant Chinese structures.

The park has three laboratories, namely the laboratories for modeling digital agriculture, the Internet of Things in digital agriculture, and the marketing of agricultural products through cross-border e-commerce channels. In addition, a training center for agricultural processing technologies was established in one of the Tajik companies.

According to Yan Fengxin, the priority task this year is to establish a branch of the demonstration park in Dushanbe based on the Tajik Agrarian University. The activities of this branch will focus on the analysis of the characteristics of materials in mechanical engineering, joint research and development of key technologies of intelligent agricultural machinery, training in industrial application and other areas. This is expected to promote the development of modern intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment in this country.

In the future, Yan Fengxin's team plans to use the experimental base of the demonstration park to promote high-income areas of modern agricultural activity, such as high-yield cultivation of apricot trees, cultivation of mushrooms in greenhouses, and vegetable growing.

Yan Fengxin believes that smart agriculture is a trend, and digital agriculture is a direction for development. In the future, Yan Fengxin intends to continue research in the field of modern agriculture in Tajikistan and promote the modernization of the agro-industrial sector of both countries through higher education channels. -0-
