On March 27, the 2025 International Rural Development Innovation Expo opened at the Hefei Binhu International Exhibition Center and will run until March 29. Nearly 300 enterprises from over 20 countries and regions, including China, the UK, and the USA, showcased their new products, focusing on digital villages, smart agriculture, green agricultural products and food. The event also includes over 10 high-quality forums, industry seminars, and indoor and outdoor demonstration activities.

Leading domestic companies such as China YTO Group and Lovol displayed self-developed high-end agricultural machinery. Internationally renowned companies like John Deere, Siemens Smart Agriculture, and CaseIH presented their latest products. Technology firms like Inspur, ZhuoFan Information, and Greenmarks showcased innovations in digital agriculture, highlighting new productivity in the industry. Exhibitor groups from the USA, Israel, and Australia shared innovative concepts and practical experiences in modern agriculture. Additionally, themed exhibition areas from Anhui's agricultural technology achievements, Hefei's thematic display, Shanghai Pavilion, Shandong group, and Wuhu group vividly presented the fruitful outcomes and unique models of rural revitalization through distinctive exhibits and interactive experiences.

"We brought three types of drones widely used for spraying, seeding, and lifting. For example, the DJI T100 can easily transport bamboo or mountain products, helping local farmers increase yield and income," said Zhou Chuan, General Manager of Anhui Feitian Technology Co., Ltd. This product is equipped with laser radar and active phased array radar, showcasing advanced technology. Another model, the DJI T70 agricultural drone, has a payload spraying capacity of 50 liters and can distribute 70 kilograms in one day, equivalent to the work of 40 to 50 laborers. Additionally, using drones for spraying ensures even coverage on both sides of crops, allowing for precise fertilization and pesticide application.

"We showcased several tractors and harvesters that are widely used in major agricultural provinces for tasks such as seeding, plowing, tilling, and deep loosening," said Liu Qiang, East China Regional Manager of John Deere. John Deere is a global leader in agricultural machinery manufacturing, headquartered in the USA. Their machinery is applied in large-scale farming scenarios in the northern plains of Anhui. "In addition to the northern plains, John Deere products are also used for paddy field operations in southern Anhui. For example, this 6E-1204 tractor features a sealed front axle for superior performance in paddy fields," Liu added.

This expo, as an innovative practice to implement the Yangtze River Delta integration and agricultural powerhouse strategy, will help Anhui connect international and domestic resources, enhance agricultural openness, and contribute wisdom to global rural governance.
