Smart agriculture is not "unreachable" but the front is thorny

Smart agriculture is not "unreachable" but the front is thorny

In the 2016-2020 China Smart Agriculture (000816) In-depth Survey and Investment Prospect Forecast Report, China Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. mentioned that the starting point of smart agriculture in China is relatively late, lacking the research and analysis of the theory and form of smart agriculture development. At the practical level, it faces many challenges, such as ideological concepts and realistic systems, mainly in the following aspects:

The overall information literacy of farmers is not high

The development of smart agriculture requires a group of high-quality scientific research personnel and technology extension personnel. Without the promotion and application of modern agricultural science and technology knowledge, without the cultivation of modern agricultural science and technology personnel, it is impossible to truly realize the development of smart agriculture. At present, the overall quality of Chinese farmers is not high, and they are less trained in informatization knowledge, and they are overly dependent on production experience in agricultural production in vast areas. The low level of education of farmers is a bottleneck restricting the development of agricultural modernization.

Agricultural scale production is too low

The scale of production is an important condition for the application and promotion of agricultural technology and equipment, and also the basis for the development of smart agriculture. Small-scale production is at a disadvantage in terms of agricultural product prices and costs, and is being squeezed at the low end of the commodity value chain, making it difficult to promote agricultural informatization and smart agricultural development.

The level of agricultural informatization and mechanization needs to be improved

The informationization and mechanization of agricultural development is an important foundation for the development of smart agriculture. By 2010, the comprehensive mechanization level of China's major crops has exceeded 50%, marking a historical shift in China's agriculture from relying on human and animal power to relying on mechanization. However, due to differences in regional and inter-ethnic economic and natural conditions, the level of comprehensive mechanization of agriculture is unevenly developed, facing problems such as shortage of natural resources and destruction of ecological environment. At the same time, the application of agricultural information technology is at a very preliminary stage, and it has not really played a substantial role in promoting agricultural development.

Insufficient innovative agricultural business model

The Internet of Things technology, which was used in agricultural production early, has achieved certain results in the demonstration pilot. However, most of them are still in the stage of scientific research projects and must be sustained by the government's financial support. The large-scale application of "intelligent" technology represented by the Internet of Things in the agricultural field is in urgent need of market mechanism intervention, and it is necessary to innovatively develop an agricultural business model suitable for China's national conditions, so that agricultural informationization and modernization can be sustainable and virtuous. development of.

China is a big agricultural country. The state has always attached great importance to the development of agricultural industry. However, we have never broken through the development pattern of relying on natural resources and low labor costs. Individualized agricultural production is still the main body of agricultural production in China. The development and development of smart agriculture, the integrated application of information technology in agriculture, the innovation of agricultural characteristic industries and models, the independent breakthrough of core technologies in agriculture, the development of agricultural enterprises, the process of agricultural industrialization and the talents of agricultural modernization The cultivation has created a rare opportunity, and it also needs to be promoted by relevant stakeholders with the attention and support of the state.
