Relying on the technology industry to promote the intelligent and digital process of agricultural production

The fundamental way out for agriculture lies in modernization and continuous improvement of agricultural comprehensive production capacity. The national conditions of our country determine that the development of modern agriculture must follow the path of modernization of agriculture with Chinese characteristics. This is a fundamental event. Food security is the “greatest of the country”, and ensuring the stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products has always been a top priority in building an agricultural power.

Today, with the continuous advancement of urbanization, more agricultural workers are turning to urban work, and the reduction of labor force has brought a great impact on agriculture. At the same time, the problem of “aging” of agricultural labor force is becoming increasingly severe. In 2017, the average age of agricultural labor force in China was 53.3 years old; And the rate of aging is very fast, with the proportion of agricultural labor force aged 55 and above rapidly increasing from 12.7% in the first agricultural census in 1996 to 33.6% in the third agricultural census in 2016, almost doubling.

At present, the cultivation of rice, wheat, and other large grain crops has achieved a mechanization rate of over 90% in many regions. Agricultural production is no longer a labor force, and the demand for physical strength is gradually decreasing. The vast majority of production processes are completed through farmers purchasing agricultural machinery and socialized services, therefore, improving the overall operational efficiency of agricultural production is becoming increasingly important.

With the rapid development of technology, smartphones, smart appliances, and digital payments have become the norm in daily life. People have become accustomed to digital life and are proficient in intelligent devices. In the process of agricultural production, intelligent and digital equipment is also gradually changing the mode of agricultural production. Now, tractor drivers can use the navigation system to complete auxiliary driving, greatly improving the work efficiency and farming quality, and the intelligent Rice transplanter no longer needs more people to operate. One person can complete rice planting and driving. With the popularization of agricultural machinery networking, the distribution of Agricultural subsidy also relies on the network platform for statistics and distribution.
