Digitally empowering Fujian to accelerate the construction of a modern agricultural system

Fujian accelerates the construction of modern agricultural system and promotes high-quality agricultural development by promoting digital agriculture and smart agriculture.

In Lianjiang, Fujian, a profound sea yellow croaker intelligent breeding platform is being debugged. This platform has a breeding space of over 60000 cubic meters and can produce 600 tons of high-quality yellow croaker annually. Breeding personnel do not need to go out to sea to remotely control the intelligent platform through the network, completing a series of breeding processes such as bait feeding, fish growth monitoring, and net cage cleaning. The production efficiency will be more than three times higher than traditional net cages.

There are currently nearly 20 deep-sea aquaculture equipment like this in Fujian, with over 30 million cubic meters of factory aquaculture water and an annual production of nearly 5.5 million tons of seawater aquaculture. The development of Deep Sea Smart Fisheries benefits from the digital infrastructure construction in Fujian. Over 1100 5G base stations have been installed along the coastline of over 3700 kilometers in the province, achieving full coverage of offshore wireless networks.

Digital technology has also assisted the high-quality and industrialized development of characteristic agricultural products in the mountains of Fujian. The edible mushroom industry is a traditional industry in Gutian County, Fujian Province. The newly built over 1000 smart mushroom sheds can accurately simulate the wild environment in which edible mushrooms grow. The quality of edible mushrooms is stable, and the production has also significantly increased, achieving the digitalization of the entire industry chain of planting, management, processing, and sales.

Digital empowerment promotes high-quality agricultural development. Today, digitalization has been integrated into many agricultural fields such as fruits and vegetables, tea, livestock and poultry, edible fungi, aquatic products, etc. Through the application of new technologies and equipment such as agricultural Internet of Things, big data, 5G, artificial intelligence, satellite remote sensing, a number of innovative application bases for digital agriculture are being built, and agricultural output value has doubled.
