In order to put the rice bowl firmly in its own hands, my country has established a national food security strategy based on me, based on the country, ensuring production capacity, moderate imports, and technology support, and has embarked on a road of food security with Chinese characteristics.
While urbanization continues to advance, my country still strictly adheres to the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land; while improving the quality of cultivated land, 639 million mu of high-standard farmland has been built across the country, ensuring domestic production capacity and consolidating the grain production base.
Among the three major staple foods, rice has the most serious pests and diseases during the planting process, the most complicated operating environment, and the most labor-intensive.
With the introduction of drone spraying and spreading technology, all aspects of rice production from planting to management have achieved lower cost mechanization, and the original labor-consuming situation has been greatly alleviated.
Take the AGR agricultural A16 plant protection machine as an example. After it is equipped with a spreading system, it can carry out sowing and spreading operations. In the rice seeding experiment conducted in Kaiping, Guangdong, the seed dosage was 2 kg per mu, and the seeding efficiency reached 100 mu/hour, which is more than 100 times that of manual labor.
On the market side, drones with a live rice function have also been favored by many users. It is reported that DJI's agricultural equipment orders have more than doubled. The factory is currently working overtime to meet the market demand, but the pressure is still great.
In the rice top dressing operation, the A16 plant protection machine can also be used for spreading fertilizer, with an efficiency of 80 mu/h. In addition, during the rice management period, the A16 plant protection machine was used for weeding, insecticide, disease control, and snail control. The measured spraying efficiency reached 180 mu/hour, which was more than 150 times that of manual spraying.
As a country with a large population, my country's food security is the ballast of national development. Facing the sudden change of the global competition pattern in the future, we should put our rice bowl firmly in our hands.
