The government work report proposes to focus on the work of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, and to deepen the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, learn and apply the experience of the "Ten Million Project", improve the support system for strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers, and enriching farmers, and make every effort to promote the increase of agricultural benefits, rural vitality, and farmers' income.

In 2025, the "development of new agricultural productivity in line with local conditions" was written into the No. 1 central document.

Intelligent empowerment of agriculture is an important method to achieve increased efficiency in agriculture, increased vitality in rural areas, and increased income for farmers

We will consolidate our technological foundation, focus on the new track of artificial intelligence, deeply implement the Smart Agriculture Action Plan, accelerate the research and application of key core technologies, and continuously cultivate new quality productivity in agriculture, "said Huang Zhiyu, Director of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department of the Autonomous Region.

The application scenarios of "artificial intelligence+agriculture" continue to emerge in Guangxi, and smart rice farms have been built, with an annual yield of over 1000 kilograms of dry rice per mu; Digital technologies and intelligent products such as intelligent germination of rice, intelligent soil testing and formula fertilization, unmanned aerial vehicle operation for plant protection, automatic feeding for aquaculture, and environmental control and health monitoring are widely used and favored by ASEAN countries such as Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

At the same time, modern facility agriculture has made new breakthroughs, with a large number of projects investing over 10 million yuan starting or being put into operation. The annual output value of facility agriculture accounts for one-third of the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery in the entire region. Guigang City has innovated the "overlay method+three-dimensional agriculture" model, screened 224000 acres of licensed facility agricultural land, achieved precise land acquisition and investment promotion, and the output value of facility agriculture has reached 19.145 billion yuan, contributing 79% to the city's agricultural economy.

In 2024, the agricultural industry in Guangxi will flourish, with approval for the construction of two advantageous characteristic industrial clusters, namely taro and northwest Guangxi beef cattle, two modern agricultural industrial parks, Shangsi County sugar cane and Lingshan County dairy cattle, as well as nine strong agricultural towns. The number of approved projects and the amount of subsidies will reach a record high in recent years.

Anchoring intelligent agriculture, Guangxi's comprehensive rural revitalization strides forward

As a product of the deep integration of modern information technology and agricultural production, smart agriculture can effectively improve agricultural production efficiency, optimize resource allocation, extend the industrial chain, and provide technological support for the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. "Representative Luo Jinren, Deputy Director of the R&D Center and Assistant to the Chairman of Guangxi Tianyuan Biochemical Co., Ltd., introduced that using IoT sensors to monitor soil moisture, meteorological data, and crop growth in real time, combined with AI algorithms to generate personalized fertilization and irrigation plans, can greatly reduce resource waste (saving more than 30% water). By utilizing intelligent breeding systems and technologies such as environmental monitoring, disease warning, and precise feeding, the survival rate of livestock and poultry can be improved, and feed costs can be reduced by more than 20%; By introducing agricultural machinery such as unmanned tractors, crop protection drones, and intelligent harvesting robots, the shortage of rural labor can be solved, and work efficiency can be improved. The spraying efficiency of drones is 50 times that of human labor.

In Luo Jinren's view, making good use of smart agriculture can reconstruct agricultural production relations through systematic changes. Taking the needs of farmers as the core, combining government guidance, technological empowerment, and market drive, we will ultimately achieve a leap from "relying on the weather for food" to "relying on data to increase income", injecting lasting momentum into the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.

The road to modernization of agriculture in Guangxi must be intelligent, standardized, and internationalized, "said Pan Wendao, the head of the Research Management Department of Yulin Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Smart agriculture continuously accelerates the process of agricultural modernization through the use of innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence. The "Internet of Things+Intelligent Monitoring" system enables automated and precise field management, making farms "unmanned" and improving agricultural production efficiency and cost savings. The integrated application of "big data+artificial intelligence" has made the selection of excellent varieties, pest control, high-yield planting, and product quality and safety supervision no longer difficult, promoting the deep integration of "good seeds+good methods+good opportunities" in agricultural production.

Intelligent empowerment for comprehensive rural revitalization, the path of Guangxi's practice is becoming increasingly clear

Based on the actual situation and local conditions, Guangxi has leveraged the agglomeration role of agriculture in various technological elements, jointly condensed scientific and technological problems, jointly carried out scientific research and development, and accelerated breakthroughs in key core agricultural technologies in response to the needs of the entire agricultural industry. Sun Qinglei, Director of the Science and Technology Department of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department of the autonomous region, introduced that on the basis of implementing the seed industry revitalization action and upgrading agricultural machinery and equipment, efforts have been made to expand the application scenarios of technologies such as artificial intelligence, data, and low altitude. In addition, actively cultivating leading agricultural technology enterprises and supporting them to lead or participate in major national science and technology projects; Guide enterprises to closely cooperate with universities and research institutions to form innovation consortia. On this basis, we will vigorously cultivate scientific and technological talents, give full play to the role of industrial technology system innovation teams and science and technology envoys, guide agricultural science and technology experts in the whole region to write papers on the land of Guangxi, and enable more agricultural science and technology achievements to serve the main battlefield of rural revitalization, transforming them into a strong driving force for promoting the development of agriculture and rural areas in Guangxi.

This year, Guangxi will deepen the implementation of the Smart Agriculture Action Plan. Build an agricultural and rural big data platform, establish a unified data resource pool and "one map". Implement the smart empowerment plan for agriculture (animal husbandry, fishing) farms, carefully screen and promote a number of smart agriculture main technologies, enrich and expand the application scenarios of artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies, promote the digital transformation of the entire industry chain, and continue to build a number of national digital agriculture innovation application bases.
