Core Insights - The article highlights the significant advancements in the barley industry in Tibet, particularly focusing on the development of highland barley products and the integration of technology in agriculture [1][2]. Group 1: Industry Development - Since the 18th National Congress, Tibet has prioritized increasing the income of impoverished communities as a core task to consolidate poverty alleviation results, establishing 224 intangible cultural heritage workshops to boost income [1]. - The establishment of the first dedicated highland barley production line in September last year has increased the flour yield from below 60% to over 70% [2]. - The introduction of modified barley flour technology has addressed fermentation difficulties and improved the quality of barley products, allowing barley flour to be used as a primary ingredient in bread [3]. Group 2: Product Innovation - A variety of new products have been developed, including barley bread, dumplings, noodles, and popcorn, marking a shift from traditional coarse processing to deep processing of barley [5]. - The online popularity of products like barley popcorn indicates strong market demand, with an order of 7,000 tons of barley raw materials already achieved, and an expected total of 15,000 tons this year [6]. Group 3: Technological Integration - The barley cultivation process has transitioned from traditional methods to digital management, enhancing efficiency and productivity [8][9]. - The use of drones for spraying fertilizers has significantly reduced labor time, allowing for the treatment of over 30 acres in half an hour compared to the previous manual method [10]. - The implementation of IoT devices in barley fields provides real-time data for precise water and fertilizer management, supporting informed production decisions [12]. Group 4: Traceability and Scale - The introduction of a blockchain traceability system ensures that each bag of barley seeds has a unique "digital ID," allowing for the tracking of the entire cultivation process [14]. - The total barley planting area in Tibet has reached 2.3 million acres, with a total production of 888,000 tons, and the development of over 80 deep-processed barley products generating an annual processing value exceeding 1.2 billion [14].
