Quzhou Yuncang Agricultural Technology Co Ltd makes use of automated and digital technologies to grow and manage flowers, making flower cultivation more efficient and creating larger yields.

The company has 5 mu (0.33 hectares) of rose greenhouses located in the Lianhua Modern Agriculture Comprehensive Park in Qujiang district. With the help of digital technologies, the roses grown in the greenhouses are healthier and more beautiful than traditionally cultivated roses and can bloom year-round.

The company currently provides an average of about 3,000 fresh flowers for the market every day, which are popular among consumers.

According to Wang Huixing, director of the plantation, digital cultivation is expected to allow the plantation to produce 1 million roses throughout the year, generating a revenue of 2 million yuan ($281,350) and creating employment opportunities for more than 30 farmers in the surrounding area.
