Regenerated Rice AI Smart Farm Project in Xinluo District, Longyan, Fujian
The Perfect Integration of Modern Agriculture and Artificial Intelligence
The Southern Agricultural Equipment Innovation Center has built a 300-mu regenerative rice AI smart farm in Xiazhong Village, Xinluo District, Longyan. Leveraging Academician Luo Xiwen's team's driverless agricultural machinery technology and Academician Xie Huaan's team's "Fuxiangzhan" rice variety and planting technology, the project explores an unmanned full-cycle planting model of "agricultural machinery + agronomy" for regenerative rice, addressing the issue of high compaction rate.



Addressing the characteristics of small and scattered hilly plots in the region, the project has developed customized mechanized production and planting solutions for regenerative rice fields, including the following innovations:
The Regenerative Rice AI Smart Farm Project in Xinluo District, Longyan, Fujian is located in Xiazhong Village, Yanshi Town, covering a total area of 300 mu. The project innovatively combines Academician Luo Xiwen's team's driverless agricultural machinery technology with Academician Xie Huaan's team's "Fuxiangzhan" rice variety and planting technology, creating an unmanned full-cycle planting model of "agricultural machinery + agronomy" for regenerative rice.
Addressing the characteristics of small and scattered plots in local hilly areas, the project has specially customized driverless harvesters and transplanters with narrow tracks (20cm), effectively solving the problem of high field compaction rate caused by traditional agricultural machinery. Meanwhile, the installed intelligent pest monitoring lights enable real-time monitoring and early warning of field pests and diseases.
Based on the "Fuxiangzhan" high-quality rice variety planting technology and combined with the characteristics of agricultural machinery used in the project, the technical team from Longyan Agricultural Science Institute has developed a complete set of field management standards, ensuring the perfect integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, and providing technical support for high and stable yields of regenerative rice.

¥450/mu/season
Compared with traditional planting models, labor costs can be saved by ¥450 per mu per season
No significant pests or diseases during the first crop of 2025
The intelligent monitoring system effectively prevented large-scale pest and disease outbreaks
2024: Village grain income over ¥240,000
2025: Projected profit of ¥300,000
Traditional: 400-500 jin/mu
Target: 800-1000 jin/mu
"The machinery cost for the smart farm is approximately ¥2 million, with an estimated payback period of about 6 years. After using unmanned agricultural machinery, we have not only saved a significant amount of labor but also significantly improved planting efficiency and yield. We are full of confidence in future development."

The successful implementation of the Regenerative Rice AI Smart Farm Project in Xinluo District, Longyan provides a replicable and promotable model for agricultural modernization in southern hilly areas. In the future, the project will further expand the planting scale, optimize unmanned planting technology, and strive to stabilize the yield of regenerative rice at 800-1000 jin per mu. Meanwhile, the project team plans to promote this model to surrounding areas, drive more farmers to increase their income and become prosperous, and contribute to the development of smart agriculture in Fujian Province and even the whole country.
