China is the homeland of tea, tea can be said to be rooted in the blood of the Chinese, and the Chinese tea ceremony has been selected as a national intangible cultural heritage. According to statistics, in 2022, the area of tea plantations in the country will reach 4,995400,000 mu, with a total output of 318100,000 tons, tea planting area, total output, total consumption ranked first in the world. The tea industry has gradually become one of the pillar industries in rural revitalization, and it is an important starting point for farmers to get rid of poverty and become rich.
As a major tea province, Jiangxi has a long history of tea production, which began in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Jiangxi's tea production ranked among the top in the country, and a number of high-quality famous teas with local characteristics emerged, such as Lushan Yunwu, Suichuan Dog Brain, Xiushui Shuangjing Green, Wuyuan Green Tea, Fuliang Black Tea, etc. In 2023, in order to further promote the development of the tea industry in Jiangxi Province, accelerate the realization of green and digital tea, and improve the quality of Jiangxi tea, the Institute of Agricultural Engineering of Jiangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, together with Jiangxi Unicom and Zhongxin Yunnong, will take digital reform as the starting point, fully activate data elements, implement the digital improvement of the production chain of the tea industry, and create the digital brain and command and monitoring center of Jiangxi Smart Tea Garden - Smart Tea Garden Information Management Platform.
The smart tea garden information management platform integrates big data statistics and GIS new generation information technology, and builds a map of visual supervision of tea gardens, including the basic overview of tea gardens, environmental monitoring data, soil monitoring data, crop growth data, etc., integrating industry-related subjects, data and services into a platform, through real-time monitoring of the platform, the environmental parameters, production and processing technology and other information data in the growth process of the tea garden are combined with the expert system to realize the standardization and intelligent management of park production.
In the context of the digital economy, promoting the digitalization of the tea industry to improve quality and efficiency is a necessary starting point for industrial development, the project manager of Zhongxin Yunnong said, "The use of various sensors, cameras, monitoring equipment and remote visualization technology installed in the tea garden to achieve early diagnosis and control of crop diseases and pests, timely release of pest and disease information to prevent and control pests and diseases, can effectively promote early warning control and reduce the degree of damage, the big data platform not only provides information and scientific basis for decision-making, but also provides support for the development of the industry." ”
In order to facilitate the use and promotion of the platform, Zhongxin Yunnong has also developed a smart tea garden information management APP port, which has become a digital management tool for tea garden managers. The APP has the functions of plot management, operation task management, operation task execution, environmental monitoring and viewing, growth monitoring and viewing, real-time monitoring and viewing, and also has the function of asking questions.
As a technical service supporter of the smart tea garden information management platform, Sino-Singapore Yunnong drives agricultural development with data and technology, promotes the effective connection between small farmers and the big market with the path of "digitalization improves quality, the whole chain is stable, and the platform expands the market", and allows farmers to share digital dividends through big data platforms, scientific research cooperation, production and marketing docking, and live broadcast e-commerce. In addition to the tea industry, Zhongxin Yunnong has landed a large platform for the whole industrial chain of agricultural single products such as citrus, mango, vegetables, tea oil, apples and other national rural revitalization models, driving and upgrading the industrial chain, first-class chain and value chain with data chain, and supporting agricultural transformation and upgrading and high-quality development.
