Smart agriculture promotes development

The success of the smart traditional Chinese medicine and agaric industry has given wings of wisdom to the development of local rural agriculture. In 2023, Dacaopo Village continued to move forward with great strides, leveraging the advantages of natural environment and 5G smart agricultural system to extend its tentacles to the “King of Wild Vegetables” in Wulong Tou.

In May of this year, the “5G+Smart Oolong Head Planting Base” project, which covers an area of 500 acres, was successfully launched. Di Weisheng and the villagers completed the first planting of Oolong Head. Based on market prices this year, the planting base is expected to generate an annual economic income of 220000 yuan. In addition, Di Weisheng actively coordinated and built a 150 acre party ginseng seedling breeding base in Dacaopo Village through the participation and circulation of the masses led by the cooperative, further expanding the scale and types of 5G+smart agriculture in Dacaopo Village.

The successful experience of digital intelligence development in Zhuyuan Township provides the best model case for the development of surrounding townships. From 2022 to 2023, Haoti Township, Dangchang County invested 1.25 million yuan to build an edible mushroom industrial park, built 20 greenhouses, equipped with 480 square meters of drying sheds, 500 square meters of drying fields, and 300 meters of irrigation channels. The industrial park can plant 80000 sticks of shiitake mushrooms and 60000 sticks of agaric at a time, with an annual output value of 950000 yuan, effectively driving the income of cooperatives and solving the employment of more than 60 local farmers.

There are so many industries in the village nowadays, and people can make money in the fields and work outside their homes. Even the young people who went out to work a few years ago are gradually returning, and the village is much more lively than before! “As Da Cao Po Village villager Ma Da Ye said, various industries in the village are flourishing now, and the villagers’ lives are getting more prosperous.

Di Weisheng stated that for Dangchang County, the beginning of smart agriculture is the beginning of rural revitalization and development. The ultimate criterion for testing the effectiveness of work is how to continue the development and growth of these agricultural industries, create benefits for villagers and even the entire region, achieve high-quality and efficient agriculture, livable rural areas, and prosperous farmers.
