Takeoff, hovering, loading, lifting, unloading… With the help of drones, approximately 50 kilograms of bananas are lifted back and forth between the banana forest and the loading area, which is faster and more labor-saving compared to traditional manual handling. Ma Youchang, the person in charge of Youchang Agricultural Park in Honghe County, introduced that with the use of lifting drones, not only can labor costs be saved, but also other crops such as chili peppers can be treated with medicine, which is economical and practical.
In order to accelerate the development of modern agriculture, Honghe County has established a machine farming service team since 2020, gradually promoting related technologies such as drone plant protection, rice direct seeding, and banana lifting. Relying on the national subsidy policy for agricultural drones, we provide one-stop agricultural comprehensive services for county-level agricultural enterprises, farmers’ cooperatives, and large planting households, improve agricultural comprehensive production capacity, and promote the process of full mechanization development.
After implementing these technologies, the problems of high agricultural costs, inconvenient transportation, and difficulty in manual labor in mountainous areas have been solved. “Li Zhilin, the head of the Agricultural Machinery Technology Promotion and Safety Supervision Station in Honghe County, introduced that in the future, the local government should promote the machinery of the machine farming service team to the entire county, especially in the Heba area, to accelerate the full mechanization development of agriculture in Honghe County.
