HARBIN, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) — At a farm owned by China's leading agricultural conglomerate Beidahuang Group, digital sensors monitor rice fields under the scorching sun. Advanced sensors track weather and soil conditions, transmitting real-time data to a farming control center.
Youyi Farm, the country's first large-scale mechanized state-owned farm established in 1954 in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, remains a model of modern farming.
Its arable land area is about 126,667 hectares, of which 12,667 hectares are already “cared for” by the intelligent neural network. According to Qu Hui, director of the scientific and technological information center at the farm, more than 500 sets of Internet of Things (IoT) devices are connected to this network, replacing human labor in agricultural production.
In addition to field equipment, drones create 3D images of crop growth daily through aerial photography. In addition, 120 smart irrigation valves are connected to water level sensors, enabling automated irrigation. These advanced technologies ensure that agricultural production is carried out with greater precision and efficiency, according to Qu Hui.
As a leading grain-producing region in China, Heilongjiang Province has vast expanses of fertile black soil and rice fields, creating ideal conditions for growing grain. By integrating information technology and artificial intelligence into the entire process of agricultural production and marketing, Heilongjiang Province has improved agricultural productivity and significantly increased crop yields.
Data show that the contribution of science and technology to the growth of total agricultural output in Heilongjiang Province has exceeded 70 percent, one of the highest rates in the country. The mechanization rate in cultivation, planting and harvesting has reached 99 percent, ranking first in China.
Founded in 2014 in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, Elite China, a technology company, has become a key player in driving smart development in the province's agricultural sector.
The company's CTO, Hu Bo, explained that their flagship product is an intelligent system that uses dynamic maps to provide highly accurate, customized fertilization solutions tailored to crop needs, akin to performing a "CT scan" for plants.
Elite China CEO Gao Wenhui noted that their company has established strong partnerships with institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Harbin Engineering University to accelerate the implementation of their innovative scientific and technological achievements in the agricultural sector.
Last year, Heilongjiang Province's grain output reached an unprecedented level, exceeding 80 billion kg, accounting for 11.33 percent of the country's total grain output. This achievement cemented Heilongjiang Province's position as China's leading grain producer for the 15th consecutive year.
The development of modern agricultural methods has not only increased grain production in Heilongjiang, but also improved its quality.
At the 7th China Grain Trade Conference held earlier this July, Heilongjiang Province proudly showcased its “Excellent Black Soil Products” brand at the theme exhibition area, which was joined by over 70 exhibitors from the province, displaying a wide range of high-quality grain and oilseed products, including rice, flour, soybean oil, etc.
Ren Guanyu, chairman of Heilongjiang Agricultural Investment Food Group, one of the exhibitors, said products considered Heilongjiang's flagship products have recently arrived in the capital, Beijing. These premium farm products are equipped with features such as digital traceability and international quality certifications, making them more attractive to consumers. -0-
