2023:200 thousand agrodrons and artificial intelligence. How the digitalization of agriculture is going in China

China is actively introducing digital technologies and unmanned equipment in the field of agriculture. As of the end of 2023, the number of agricultural drones in the country exceeded 200 thousand. This is stated in the materials published at the end of July 2024.

As Li Daoliang, director of the International College of China Agricultural University, notes, technology with support,, and 5G Internet of Things artificial intelligence other digital technologies are becoming new tools in agricultural production. Such solutions can improve efficiency, reduce costs and speed up harvest.

Digitalization of agriculture in China: agrodrons and AI in the service of farmers

Chinese farmers are increasingly using machines equipped with BeiDou satellite navigation system receivers. It is estimated that by the end of 2023, approximately 2.2 million units of agricultural machinery in the country were equipped with BeiDou terminals.

At the end of 2023, the world's first 20-story vegetable farm was launched in China, the management of which is entrusted to AI algorithms. The complex is located in Chengdu in Sichuan. A special system using various sensors and advanced technologies is responsible for monitoring, analyzing and optimizing key environmental parameters. This makes it possible to create optimal conditions for growing crops. A multi-tiered vertical farm, as noted, makes it possible to repeatedly increase crop volumes per square meter of area compared to traditional horizontal farming.

As rural infrastructure improves, many villages in China are moving to digital. Farmers can use smartphones to monitor conditions in greenhouses in real time and adjust values ​ ​ if necessary. In general, traditional agricultural production concepts and methods are being transformed by the introduction of digital technologies.[1]
