Satellites supervise Fujian tea production

As tea is being produced in East China's Fujian province, two remote sensing satellites in orbit are busy monitoring the planting and maintenance of the crops.

The satellites, both launched in 2022, can obtain images with a resolution higher than half a meter and a width of 15 kilometers. They serve the tea-producing area in Anxi county, Fujian, which is famous for its tea industry.

The output value of the province's whole tea industry chain exceeded 150 billion yuan ($21.1 billion) in 2022, while its tea exports exceeded 3.5 billion yuan. Both ranked first in the country.
