The use of Chinese-made unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in agriculture is creating a radical change in agricultural technologies worldwide, significantly increasing labor productivity and strengthening ecological sustainability.
In Uzbekistan, as part of a project to modernize the country's agriculture, people have begun learning to operate Chinese agricultural drones. In the first phase of the project, 100 such drones were brought into the country, and Chinese specialists are training 30 experts in various parts of Uzbekistan to operate them.
"The reason China was chosen is that currently approximately 70% of unmanned aerial vehicles and innovative technologies in the global market belong to China. With the help of these drones, a service system will be created for land users," said Sardor Gulomov, head of the UAV utilization department of the State Scientific and Design Institute "Uzdaverloyiha" of Uzbekistan.
In the United Kingdom, agricultural drones not only ease the physical labor of farmers but also help them reduce costs. They are used for tasks ranging from cleaning greenhouses to monitoring crop conditions and sowing seeds. Drones from the Chinese company XAG, a global leader in smart agriculture technology, are even being used on a small farm near Liverpool.
"If you cleaned the tops of polythene greenhouses every year, you could get record yields every year. This is a great benefit for both the farmer and the environment," said Pearson, CEO of Autospray Systems Ltd.
In the main rice-growing regions of the Republic of Korea, farmers use Chinese-made drones for sowing crops and spraying fertilizers. In the Gaza province of Mozambique, a Chinese drone soars peacefully over the green fields of an agricultural park jointly established by China and Africa. Compared to the traditional manual spreading method, a single drone can cover more than 6.7 hectares of farmland in one hour.
