"It saves labor, time, and effort with a quality sowing process."

Dubbed the "granary in China's central plains," Henan holds significant agricultural importance in China, accounting for around a quarter of the country's total annual wheat output.

The application of BeiDou intelligent terminals in harvesting and sowing machinery has reached an advanced stage and is widely used across China.
