(Economic Observation) Digital Village: Mobile phones become new agricultural tools, data becomes new agricultural materials

  China News Service, Beijing, June 4 (Reporter Liu Yuying) 5G coverage, Gigabit fiber to the home, online village affairs disclosure, online live broadcast of the election of the village committee, digital speakers, video conferences, thermal imaging temperature measurement terminals... Liu Jijie, secretary of the branch of Xili Village in Changqing District, the benchmarking village of Jinan Digital Village, said, “Data is the treasure for the revitalization of the village.

  In May 2020, China's four departments jointly issued the "Key Points for Digital Rural Development in 2020", which put forward goals and tasks in terms of rural information infrastructure, agricultural and rural digital transformation, rural digital inclusive financial coverage, and online poverty alleviation.

  At present, China's digital village construction is accelerating, and progress has been made in infrastructure, platform construction, and application scenarios.

  Wang Xiaobing, director of the Information Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China, said at the China Unicom Digital Village Promotion Conference held in Jinan this week that mobile phones are becoming "new agricultural tools", data is becoming "new agricultural materials", and live broadcasting is becoming "new agricultural activities."

  The reporter recently visited Xili Village, Changqing District, Jinan City, and learned that Gigabit 5G, Gigabit broadband, and Gigabit Wi-Fi have been built here, and three "Gigabits" have been realized.

On the large digital screen in the village, the whole village culture, village style and village dynamics are displayed in real time.

In February 2021, Xili Village was identified as the benchmark village of Jinan Digital Village.

  Through China Unicom's "Digital Village Platform", Xili Village has realized "Xili on the Cloud".

The reporter saw on the mobile terminal that the platform includes interfaces for village service portals, information disclosure, digitization of government internal offices, notifications, and live broadcasts.

  Liu Jijie said that Xili Village’s industries mainly include nursery stocks, flowers, greening industry and pollution-free yam industry. The annual collective economic income is relatively high. The best way to protect the villagers’ right to know and supervise is to achieve “sunshine and transparency”. You can view it in real time with a "click" on your mobile phone.

  Through the combination of information technology and agriculture, new models continue to emerge.

In Fu'an, Ningde, Fujian Province, China Unicom and Fu'an Nongken Group have built the country's first 5G smart tea garden, using cloud computing, Internet of Things, tea big data, drones, agrometeorology and other new technologies to realize the digitization of tea garden information and the automation of tea garden production. , Tea garden management automation.

  In Liebga Village, Gandu Town, Hualong County, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, the high-definition picture of the yak is transmitted in real time via the all-optical network. When the villagers turn on their mobile phones at home, they can see the physical condition of hundreds of yaks at any time, and they are gradually embarking on it. The road of wise cattle breeding.

  With the help of 4G and 5G networks, the anchors walked into the fields and spoke for native products through live broadcasts.

According to Wang Xiaobing, 55% of the 10.1 million people who have returned to the countryside to start a business and innovate in the country adopt new models such as "Internet +".

  The "China Unicom Digital Village White Paper" released this week believes that the construction of digital villages mainly consists of five aspects, including information infrastructure construction, rural capacity support platforms, digitalization of rural industries, digitalization of rural governance, and digitalization of rural life.

  At present, China is speeding up the construction of rural information infrastructure.

Statistics show that the proportion of optical fiber and 4G in China's administrative villages both exceeds 99%.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China stated that by the end of 2021, it will strive to clear the dynamics of administrative villages without broadband access.

The State Post Bureau also announced that it will take three years to realize "express delivery into the village" this year.

This will greatly promote the development of rural e-commerce.

  A big data platform for rural areas is also under construction and application.

China Unicom's digital village service cloud platform is expected to serve more than 100,000 administrative villages by the end of 2021, and more than 300,000 administrative villages will be served by 2025. It will integrate smart party building, rural organizations, government affairs online, safe villages, and village affairs management. And other typical applications.

  Data from the "White Paper on China's Digital Economy Development (2020)" shows that in 2019, China's digital economy accounted for 36.2% of GDP, but the agricultural digital economy penetration rate was only 8.2%.

  The digital village still has great potential to be tapped.

In addition to infrastructure construction, data resource construction, and application scenario construction, Wang Xiaobing said that it is necessary to do a good job in the construction of smart equipment, strengthen the research on key technologies such as agricultural machinery intelligent manufacturing, agricultural Internet of things, sensors, chips, etc.; it is necessary to do a good job in the construction of institutional teams and promote the education sector Innovatively set up majors and courses in agricultural big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, etc. in relevant universities and vocational schools.
