The base will develop a smart agricultural model that adapts to Hunan's agricultural industrial environment, create a nationally influential ecological high-quality brand rice, and enhance the modern agricultural production level in Yuanjiang and Hunan. The start of the base marks another solid step for Zoomlion's in-depth deployment of digital agriculture and smart agriculture. It demonstrates that Zoomlion actively responded to the No. 1 Central Document and promoted agricultural and rural areas with high-end smart equipment and a new pattern of smart agriculture development. modernization. Sun Changjun, Vice President of Zoomlion, Tang Ruixiang, Vice Mayor of Yiyang City, Yang Zhiyong, Mayor of Yuanjiang City, and heads of relevant departments of cities, counties and townships witnessed this historical moment.

Zoomlion Yuanjiang Smart Agriculture Demonstration Base will improve the overall quality of the agricultural industry in Yuanjiang City. Li Jin, deputy general manager of Zoomlion Smart Agriculture Company, said: “Our base construction will be divided into three steps: First, implement the localization of Zoomlion's smart agricultural technology, build a 500-mu digital rice scientific research base, and determine the most suitable local area. For the rice varieties to be planted, a digital rice planting standard system is tailored to produce high-end rice; a digital agricultural command and dispatch center will be established to realize big data-driven scientific planting decision-making and meet the requirements of “increasing production, reducing costs, and saving fertilizer under the scenario of large-scale rice planting” The requirements of drug reduction, quality improvement, and full traceability are established to establish a local high-end rice brand; then, the entire city's 800,000 acres of arable land will be promoted and digital rice brand marketing will be carried out to empower farmers to increase income and become rich."

Digital planting has realized the traditional rice planting driven by experience and small data, and has been transformed and upgraded to digital planting driven by big data. In the management of seed selection and key aspects of water, fertilizer, disease, pest, weed, and growth period, Relying on the whole-process closed-loop intelligent operation of perceiving agricultural data, agricultural data transmission, storage, analysis, and intelligent operation of agricultural machinery, it supports agriculture to make the best decision at the best time, and realizes the transformation and upgrading of traditional agriculture to smart agriculture and high-quality agriculture.

Take the smart agricultural base as the core to form a new pattern

This time, Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery’s Yuanjiang Image Store, which was inaugurated simultaneously with Zoomlion’s Smart Agriculture Demonstration Base, has also attracted much attention. According to reports, the image store can not only provide cost-effective agricultural machinery and equipment to farmers in Yuanjiang and northern Hunan, but also undertake the important task of providing new agronomic training for farmers in Yuanjiang and northern Hunan. As a result, a new pattern of smart agricultural industrial chain is formed in Yuanjiang and even in northern Hunan, with smart agricultural base as the core, smart agricultural machinery image store as the link, and smart agricultural pavilion as the starting point.

The future of agriculture is a smart era in which digital technology, biotechnology, intelligent manufacturing technology, and artificial intelligence technology are integrated and developed, of which digital agriculture is the core. Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery, a subsidiary of Zoomlion, is a leading enterprise in my country’s agricultural machinery industry. It has taken the lead in realizing the full-process standardized planting of rice that is empowered by smart agriculture in China. It has verified the feasibility of smart agriculture technically and economically. In this regard, it is in a leading position in the industry.

Li Jin introduced: “Zoomlion Smart Agriculture uses smart agricultural machinery to carry the physical space, and digital agriculture to carry the information space. Under the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, 5G and other technologies, it can achieve the integration of agricultural machinery, agronomy, and credit to produce quality. The best agricultural products."

Sun Changjun, Vice President of Zoomlion, said: "With the strong support of Yiyang Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government, Yuanjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Zoomlion will focus on realizing the regional implementation of smart agricultural technology, and create Yuanjiang's'digital rice' according to national standards.
