What is billed as Guangdong's largest unmanned rice farm brought in a bumper harvest on October 30. Experts and scholars from China and other countries, including Brazil, Peru, Türkiye, Australia, the United States, Malaysia and Canada, visited Wanlü Smart Farm (万绿智慧农场) in Liucheng Town, Dongyuan County, Heyuan, to watch demonstrations of smart farm machinery and witness the harvest underway.
According to the farm, it covers 5,300 mu (approximately 353 hectares), including around 2,000 mu (approximately 133 hectares) used for breeding and seed production and 3,300 mu (approximately 220 hectares) planted with rice.
The farm now runs the whole rice production process without human workers, from plowing and sowing to field management and harvesting, and its efficiency is more than 50 times higher than that of traditional manual farming.
