The digital transformation of agriculture has become an inevitable trend to promote high-quality agricultural development. In recent years, Shandong has made significant progress in the development of digital agriculture, with over 730 smart agricultural application bases established.

To drive the digital transformation of agriculture, Shandong will focus on four aspects in the future.

Firstly, it will promote the digitization of agricultural production. Emphasis will be placed on enhancing the yields of major grain and oil crops. Furthermore, the untapped digital potential of facility agriculture, animal husbandry, marine fisheries, and saline-alkali land utilization will be fully explored as well.

Secondly, the province will enhance the digitalization of the entire agricultural industrial chain, focusing on aspects such as agricultural product processing, quality supervision and traceability, warehousing logistics, and marketing. Efforts will be expedited to build an interconnected digital integration development system across the entire industrial chain.

Thirdly, Shandong will boost the digital infrastructure of agriculture, with efforts in the establishment of a provincial-level digital agricultural and rural management platform for data sharing and business collaboration. Meanwhile, comprehensive efforts will be made to cultivate digital agricultural talent and promote the application of digital technologies.

Lastly, it will establish digital agricultural pilot demonstrations and leading zones, guiding the clustering and aggregation of resources and elements in modern agricultural industrial parks, specialty industry clusters, and strong agricultural towns.

Shandong is committed to advancing the digitalization of agriculture, paving the way for high-quality agricultural development.
