Cambodia Investment Review
As one of the backbones of any economy, agriculture plays a significantly pivotal role in determining the destiny of nations. The sector provides food for many living things on Earth. In this century where population growth increases rapidly and the demand for quality food has become higher than ever, waves of digital integration have drastically transformed the nature of agriculture.
Beginning largely by manual power, then being assisted by mechanical muscles, many initiatives have recently been applied to the agricultural sector in terms of 5G high speed internet connection and artificial intelligence. The challenges of remote farmlands, monitoring crop yields, predicting weather, or spotting potential diseases can be addressed much more quickly and efficiently allowing the sector to be resilient in the ever-changing global climate.
Supported By Stable, High Capacity 5G Connectivity
In China’s Yunnan province, famous coffee producing villages are being supported by stable, high capacity 5G connectivity that empowers greater production as well as spreading awareness of “coffee tourism”.
Many 5G base stations were deployed to cover under-connected areas, support e-commerce, live selling, as well as other digital software that helps to improve coffee cultivation. These include live collection of important data such as temperature, humidity, and soil acidity, allowing farmers and other technicians to rapidly adjust to changes while minimising losses.
More than just producing coffee to feed the market, the coffee villages of Yunnan province have also attracted around 120,000 tourists a year as they bring visitors to see how coffee plants are nurtured and cultivated.
In the other part of China, Guangdong province has embraced agricultural campaigns such as the Zengcheng Lychee Live Streaming Festival. Under the theme of “A 5G Boost for Lychees”, high speed internet connection was distributed to influencers and live-streamers to showcase lychee products to the market.
This service meets live streamers’ requirements for ultra-high uplink bandwidth, large network capacity, and high-definition videos, guaranteeing smooth experiences for viewers. Through this, a framework has also emerged to nurture the idea of smart agriculture and digital villages.
Huawei Software Technologies To Maximise Efficiency
Thousands of kilometers away from China, Ethiopia, an African nation famous for its coffee production, Huawei software technologies are used to maximise the efficiency of logistics as coffee products are transported from rural farms to cities for distributions. In addition to e-commerce, to establish the nation wide intelligence traffic system, real time vehicle tracking, traffic fine management, and traffic information notification, cashless fuel payment, and more are put into action.
As a driving force for innovations, 5G and artificial intelligence do play an important role in the improvement of the agricultural sector. From real-time monitoring to digital commercialisation, and from uninterrupted live-streaming to agriculture tourism, there is still tons of potential to unlock with the right tools and time.
