On 16 june, a group of journalists from the invisible unicorn company of the city of qingdao arrived in kassing's vast and intelligent agricultural estate in lacey city, and walked into an intelligent glass greenhouse, with wet air crumbing the fragrance of tomatoes and vines, looking at an endless green "steel forest" — eight metres high glass dome, 210 acres of space, 11 metres tall tomato plantations climbing along the steel shelf, red fruit, falling branches, and agv logistics robots prowling through the plant. The fresh tomatoes will be distributed from here to the whole country. This is not a science-fiction film scene, but a technological revolution in china's intelligent agriculture。
“the campus, based on self-researched digital twinning systems and smart production equipment, can achieve precision smart regulation of temperature, light, water, gas and fertilizers, directly linking agricultural production to supply chain services, and can produce more than 40 tons of cherry tomatoes per day for 10 consecutive months per year, six to eight times the production of traditional sheds.”
Underlying the high productivity efficiency is the 20 million “big data” support collected daily in real time by the park's smart system. The greenhouses are equipped with 423 sensors and 1,165 controllers to collect data on warm water and gas fat in real time, upload them to the “agriculture brain” system, analyse the best solutions and give instructions to water and fertilizer. It is known that greenhouses, using ultra-white high-quality glass and 10 major smart systems, save 95 per cent of their diets and serve as a beacon for the country's intelligent agriculture, allowing agriculture to “feed by the sky”。
By virtue of the smart regulation of the digital agricultural brain, which is developed by enterprises on their own initiative, the park creates the best growing environment for tomatoes, ensuring that the fruit juice of the output is thick, of equal quality, size, taste, and full seed。
Kessing is much more than growing, and the tomatoes collected are screened by automatic sorting lines, removing bumps, black berries and labeling the “one large” brand for distribution throughout the country. The 99 per cent of the top-rated brands have entered the fruit chains of large businesses such as masha, wal-mart, big hair and others, as well as reaching consumers directly through skycats, dancing and kyoto electricians. Tomatoes are not available in new retail and electric outlets and are at the top of the sales list of tomatoes。
It can be said that kaesing has completed the whole industry chain layout from seeds, seedlings and plantings to sales. Today, the “kessing hulk model” has replicated 33 projects in 17 provinces and municipalities across the country as a model for modern facilities agriculture。
The journalists learned that kesheng ho smart agricultural park, located in the city of lacey, which covers 540 acres, is being built and operated by the world's 500 china building materials group company, kesing ho-fung agricultural group ltd., and that there are 2 210 acres of smart greenhouses, which are currently the country's largest design, construction and operation of smart glass greenhouses. They are the leading national agricultural industrialization firm, the national high-technology enterprise, the national digital facility's agricultural innovation application base, and the national model park for the development of integrated rural industries. Continued investment in breeding, the construction of the largest fully automated nursery plant operating in asia, and the autonomous development of double-headed seedling technology are among the international leaders。
At the same time, the vastness of the kasem model has led farmers to grow and achieve mutual prosperity. On the one hand, farmers transfer land rental income through land flows. On the other hand, neighbouring farmers are employed in greenhouses and are guaranteed the payment of a one-per-cent premium. At present, the kaesing ho hau modern facility agriculture has led to the employment of 1,500 farmers, boosting the neighbouring farmers by more than $80 million per year, and farmers have become industrial workers through training to enable them to find employment at home。
