2025 年二月 1 日 “Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.” — Sun Tzu
中国与许多其他国家一样，面临多重农业挑战。
存在耕地减少的问题。
据中国土壤研究所报告，中国每年损失约40万公顷可耕地，目前仅剩约1.28亿公顷土地可用于种植粮食。
接下来是劳动力。
“In just two decades, China’s agricultural labor force has been more than halved—a loss of 194 million. In the most recent decade from 2012 to 2021, the agricultural labor force has declined by a third, a loss of 85 million,” stated by Qian Forrest Zhang and Meiling Wu in a 2024 article.
These aren’t problems unique to China. Globally, growers are facing shortages of arable land, water, and workforce with some climate change thrown in for good measure. Farmers must meet the demands to feed an increasing population—and ag tech might be the solution.
中国政府和企业似乎正在接受农业科技。
While China’s arable land is shrinking, the country leads globally in its use of greenhouses. The University of Copenhagen published a top ten countries accounting for the largest amount of greenhouse coverage. They rated China at 60.4%. Spain was in second place at 5.6% and Italy in third place at 4.1%. Mexico came in fourth at 3.3%.
ResearchAndMarkets.com came out with the “China Agriculture Equipment Market by Equipment, Tractor, Harvesting, Planting, Spraying, Company Analysis 2025-2033” report, that states: “The China agriculture equipment market is expected to increase impressively, reaching US$41.18 billion by 2033 from US$24.13 billion in 2024. The industry is expected to witness growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.12% during 2025-2033.”
报告列举了政府举措、技术进步以及提高产量和效率的需求等关键驱动因素。
“GPS、物联网和人工智能等技术与农业设备相结合正在改变中国农业。智能拖拉机、农作物监测无人机和自动灌溉系统都提高了资源利用效率，同时提高了生产力。技术创新将通过精确完成农业过程来帮助弥补中国的劳动力短缺缺口。别忘了，转向电动和环保机械有助于中国实现其可持续发展愿景，因此对农民来说也具有吸引力，”报告指出。
中国无人机制造商极飞科技有限公司等公司在去年的年度技术会议上推出了多款新产品，以支持无人农业生产。
While the challenges ahead seem daunting, the move to ag tech is one that China is leading the world in with their adoption of drones and growth toward automation. In my editorial for last year’s China edition, Chinese growers used 4,000 ag drones in 2016, which grew to 120,000 ag drones in 2021 as reported by the National Agro-Tech Extension and Service Center (NATESC).
作物保护公司正在利用农业技术配制制剂产品方面也并不落后。
先正达近日宣布与人工智能（AI）公司TraitSeq合作，利用AI开发创新生物刺激素。
When facing what could be another tough year, look to the future and get your business ready to embrace the opportunities that might be coming from the ag tech space.
