Storyline: China's Xinjiang harnesses cutting-edge farming techs to boost yields [Voice_over] Innovative farming technologies are boosting agricultural yields in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. At a sprawling 667-hectare smart farm in Hotan City, technology like electronic valves, intelligent irrigation systems, and automated roller shutter doors are improving efficiency. A supervisor at the farm says with the upgrades, a single worker can oversee production in up to 30 greenhouses. [Sound_bite] Abdurahman Tursuntuhti, production supervisor, Xinjiang Shengshi Huaqiang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd.: "Previously, we had to go in one by one and press each button, a huge waste of time. Now, one person can handle 30 or even 100 greenhouses at a time, mostly done through mobile phones." [Voice_over] The farm's tech is powered by lag-free signals and the Internet of Things which ensures high yields for crops like peppers, cucumbers, and eggplants. But beyond vegetables, the farm also boasts a cutting-edge grain breeding center. In a 2,200-square meter greenhouse, 400 rice varieties are cultivated under specialized bulbs that mimic different light spectra. Thanks to solar heat collectors that leverage Xinjiang's abundant sunlight during the day, the greenhouses are heated at night. These innovations have shortened the growth cycles of some grains by fifty percent, enabling farmers to harvest five times per year. [Sound_bite] Wang Sen, researcher, Institute of Urban Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences: "Soybeans from northeast China, rapeseed from Sichuan, and rice from Hainan have all undergone extensive trials. Following these trials, the seeds will be sown across major production areas nationwide. They have demonstrated highly effective yield increases." [Voice_over] From drones transporting melons to salmon farming in the arid Gobi Desert, Xinjiang's tech-driven agriculture is thriving. The region leads China in yields of jujubes, almonds, and grapes, with vegetable production doubling over the past decade. [Restrictions : No access Chinese mainland]
