Agri fair features range of domestic innovations

The country's increasing adoption of smart technologies in food production was recently showcased at an annual fair in Yangling, Shaanxi province, which featured a range of domestic agricultural innovations focused on boosting productivity.

Among those displayed at the 31st China Yangling Agricultural High-tech Fair included a digital replica of an irrigation system designed to improve water efficiency. The system has helped Shaanxi province, a major wheat production area, curb agricultural water usage by about 18 million cubic meters each year and cutting electricity consumption by 20 million kilowatt-hours.

Drones customized for monitoring orchards situated in mountainous regions, along with tablets that allow for remote control of fertilization during crop watering, are also attracting significant attention from fair visitors.
