蔗海潮涌产业甜——智慧农机推动农业从“靠天吃饭”迈向“知天而作”

Core Insights - The article highlights the transformation of sugarcane harvesting in Guangxi through the introduction of the "Didi Agricultural Machinery" platform, which connects over 6,000 agricultural machines to farmers, enhancing efficiency and profitability in sugarcane production [1][15][18]. Digital Transformation - The "Didi Agricultural Machinery" platform has been launched to address the mismatch in agricultural supply and demand, integrating AI and cloud computing to create a one-stop service network for machine scheduling, labor matching, and subsidy applications [3][18]. - The platform has registered over 4,000 users and integrated more than 6,000 agricultural machines from various manufacturers [4][18]. - Algorithm optimization has improved machine utilization by 30% and reduced harvesting costs by 40 yuan per acre [5][19]. - Farmers now have the ability to compare services and prices on the platform, gaining more control over their choices [6][20]. Technological Advancements - New lightweight intelligent harvesting machines have been developed to adapt to the hilly terrain of Guangxi, with a daily harvesting capacity of 40 tons, improving efficiency by 50% compared to traditional models [11][25]. - The introduction of electric-driven harvesting equipment has reduced energy consumption to one-third of diesel engines and extended the operational time of machines from 2 months to 6 months [11][25]. - Collaborative research between universities and leading enterprises has led to advancements in intelligent agricultural machinery, aiming for full automation from planting to harvesting within three years [11][25]. Economic Impact - The coverage rate of high-yield and high-sugar varieties in Laibin has exceeded 95%, with average yields increasing from 4 tons to 8 tons per acre, resulting in an additional income of 1,200 yuan per acre [12][26]. - The deep processing of sugarcane can increase its value by over ten times, with real-time production data visualization improving the quality rate of white sugar to 99.2% [13][28]. - The order agriculture model has reached a coverage rate of 95%, benefiting 5 million sugarcane farmers with an average annual income increase of over 10,000 yuan [14][29]. - The comprehensive mechanization rate for sugarcane in Laibin has reached 75%, with expectations to increase to 73% by the end of the year, contributing significantly to national sugar production [14][29].
