Jiangsu Province held its 2024 work conference on the development of smart agriculture in Yancheng City on September 25 and 26.

For eight consecutive years, Jiangsu has identified annual priorities in smart agriculture development. The level of agricultural production informatization in Jiangsu reached 51.2%, placing the province among the top in the country.

For five years in a row, Jiangsu has included digital agriculture-related indicators in its rural revitalization performance assessments. Pilot programs for digital agriculture have been launched in four cities - Nanjing, Wuxi, Yancheng, and Suqian. The province has established six national-level smart agriculture innovation centers (labs) and 14 agricultural and rural informatization demonstration bases.

Notably, Jiangsu has also built an agricultural and rural big data cloud platform, developing decision-support applications for planting, livestock, and fisheries.
