Big Data, Internet of Things, and Intelligent Sensor Technology Promote the High-quality Development of Vegetable Industry

CCTV News:Recently, the reporter learned from China Vegetable Circulation Association that the vegetable production in China is good in spring this year, and the planting area will be further expanded.

According to the consultation and judgment of China Vegetable Circulation Association, since the beginning of this year, the vegetable superiority areas in South China, East China and Southwest China in winter and spring, as well as the vegetable superiority areas in Huanghuaihai and Bohai Rim facilities have produced well in spring, with sufficient supply and strong national consumption demand. In the same period, the production of summer and autumn vegetables in northern high latitude areas, Loess Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau has been carried out one after another, and the situation is gratifying.

Dai Zhongjiu, president of China Vegetable Circulation Association, said that this year, China’s vegetable planting area will be further expanded, which is expected to reach about 380 million mu, and its output will continue to increase, which is expected to reach 850 million tons, and it will continue to maintain its position as the world’s largest vegetable producer and consumer.

According to the analysis of China Vegetable Circulation Association, from the second half of 2023 to the beginning of 2024, the vegetable industry has gradually seen the trend of consumption upgrading. With the development of facility agriculture, the acceleration of cold chain logistics infrastructure construction in various places, and the promotion of rural revitalization and industrial revitalization policies, local specialty vegetables such as Sichuan children’s vegetables and fresh bamboo shoots, which were not eaten in the northern region, began to enter the people’s table, further meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life.

Digitalization and Intelligentization Boost the High-quality Development of Vegetable Industry

Big data, Internet of Things, sensors, with the progress of modern science and technology, digitalization and intelligence are promoting the high-quality development of vegetable industry.

In the vegetable planting area of this agricultural science and technology company in Wanzai, Jiangxi, the greenhouse automation control system of intelligent agriculture Internet of Things integrates intelligent functions such as automatic irrigation, automatic ventilation and exhaust, automatic cooling, automatic shading and shading, which can scientifically and accurately water and fertilize vegetables in different growth periods, and realize scientific control of temperature, humidity, light and wind speed.

In the smart vegetable greenhouse in Zouping, Binzhou, Shandong Province, vegetable growth is entering a critical period. The person in charge of the greenhouse told the reporter that greenhouse vegetables have very high requirements on temperature and humidity, which will affect the normal growth of vegetables if they are not well controlled. Last year, with the support of local agriculture, forestry, electric power and other departments, intelligent monitoring equipment was installed in the greenhouse, and the information in the greenhouse was collected in real time through multiple sensors to realize remote control of the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse.

Yuanmou is one of the important vegetable production and wholesale bases in Yunnan. The agricultural big data center in the county updates the trading dynamics of the county agricultural products market and 155 agricultural products markets nationwide every day, providing accurate data support for farmers, enterprises and merchants, and realizing "speaking with data, managing with data, making decisions with data and innovating with data" in vegetable production.
