A New Engine for Smart Agriculture securing the Whole Chain Management of Agricultural Products
As digital technology penetrates deeper into the agricultural sector, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, with its advantages of non-contact identification and large data storage capacity, is becoming a key tool to solve pain points such as difficulty in agricultural product traceability and low management efficiency, injecting new impetus into the high-quality development of modern agriculture. RFID manufacturers develop various types of RFID tags to improve the efficiency of agricultural management.
At Lvyuan Ecological Farm on the outskirts of the city, staff only need to bring a handheld terminal close to the vegetable packaging box, and the screen will instantly display information about the batch of lettuce, including the planting plot, sowing time, fertilization records, harvesters and test reports. The farm equips each batch of vegetables with RFID NFC tags to enable real-time traceability of the entire process from the field to the table; since the introduction of the RFID management system last year, the qualified rate of the farm's product sampling inspection has risen to 100%, and the customer repurchase rate has increased by 30%.
RFID tags also play an important role in the livestock breeding field. At Xingsheng Beef Cattle Breeding Base, each cow's ear tag has a built-in RFID chip that stores data such as the cow's breed, date of birth, vaccine inoculation records and health status. Compared with the past problems of error-prone and difficult-to-trace manual records, RFID technology helps the base accurately grasp the growth cycle of each cow and realize refined feeding, which has now reduced breeding costs by 15% and shortened the slaughter cycle by 10 days.
More than 5,000 agricultural production entities across the country have applied RFID technology, covering multiple categories such as grain, fruits and vegetables, and livestock. In the next step, it will accelerate the integrated application of RFID technology with the Internet of Things and big data, build a more intelligent and efficient agricultural product quality and safety traceability system, and contribute to rural revitalization.
The wide application of RFID technology not only improves the intelligence level of agricultural production and management, but also ensures consumers' confidence in food safety. It lays a solid foundation for the brand development of agricultural products and promotes the accelerated transformation of traditional agriculture to smart agriculture.
