Big data powers rural revitalization in Guiyang

Big data has increasingly powered rural revitalization in Guiyang, the capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province. It is playing an indispensable role in agricultural modernization, according to local media reports.

Big data enhances the controllability of rural industrial production and increases the output value of crops. With the application of big data smart service platforms, apps and smart agricultural environment monitoring facilities, real-time and accurate monitoring of crop growth is possible, and the agricultural production process is visualized, convenient and intelligent.

Villagers can also receive planting technology guidance and training from experts via video links, and the agricultural product safety traceability system makes the production process clearer.

Big data optimizes the allocation of resources in the agricultural product market and drives the sales of rural products. Guiyang now boasts eight county-level rural e-commerce operation centers and more than 600 rural e-commerce service stations. Application of big data in logistics also helps sales of Guiyang's agricultural products.

Big data also improves the level of rural infrastructure and enhances rural development. Through the application of big data, Guiyang has upgraded its agricultural infrastructure, introduced and applied new intelligent agricultural facilities and equipment, and built a national digital agricultural rural innovation center and digital agricultural application promotion base.

Applying big data technology, Guiyang has upgraded rural transportation infrastructure, improved the rural logistics system and improved the structure of rural economic factors – bringing new opportunities for rural construction and exploring a new path for rural revitalization and development.
