【Support to Build Smart Modern Agriculture】

Karamay in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is a city with vast clusters of arable land. Despite of little precipitation, the city has great potential for
smart agriculture relying on underground water supply systems, drip irrigation and other technologies. Driven by a complete industrial chain of corn planting,
Senhe Smart Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd. aims to become a local farming leader by building a demonstration cluster of high-tech, intelligent and large-
scale modern agricultural industry. After a thorough understanding of Senhe's needs, CT's Karamay Branch supported it with the implementation of "ICT
Solution to Smart Agriculture" in 2019; by the end of that year, the Branch provided support to complete a testing of 1,000 mu in the first phase of the pilot
project, realized planning throughout the industrial chain – before, during and after core production – and a substantial increase in productivity as well as a
significant reduction in production cost, raising the yield per mu by 20%.

【Support to Digitalization of Featured Agriculture】

Dried tangerine peel (chenpi) produced in Xinhui, Jiangmen City of Guangdong Province is a well-known agricultural specialty product and those "aged for
one hundred years are as precious as thousand-year old ginseng". In order to help the development of Xinhui Chenpi Industry Park, the Jiangmen Branch
provided support by building the "Big Data Platform for Smart Agriculture in National Modern Agricultural Industry Park of Xinhui Chenpi". The platform
digitizes Xinhui's chenpi industry, helps local government and associations use data to fully understand current industry situation, accurately calculates and
monitors industrial indicators such as planting intention, yield forecast, pest/plant disease development trends and cost efficiency. Moreover, it can apply
big data to the supervision of the entire industrial chain to effectively protect the public brand of "Xinhui Chenpi". As of the end of 2019, more than 6,700
companies had registered on the platform, achieving a brand value of 12.6 billion yuan.

The Xinhui Chenpi Industry Park cooperated with China Telecom in the smart agricultural big data project and built a digital platform for precision-based planting,
saving over 50% of water, 60% of fertilizers and 50% of pesticides with traceability across all processes.
