TAIPEI, Taiwan, Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- According to FAO,
26% of crop losses
resulted from extreme weather
such as windstorms, floods and droughts happened
in developing countries. Not only farmers suffered
severely, but also people encountered instability of food supply.
The solution to overcome the climate change has become a crucial
subject worldwide and climate-smart agriculture combining with big
data, IoT technology and auto monitoring systems for indoor farming
and plant factories makes
the upcoming 2018 Asia Agri-Tech
Expo & Forum worth attending.
To promote Agriculture 4.0 policy and Taiwan's intelligent agriculture products and
services, UBM Asia Taiwan Branch and Council of Agriculture (COA)
collectively launch 2018 Asia
Agri-Tech Expo & Forum at Taipei World Trade Center on
July 26-28. With the theme
"Innovative, Eco-friendly, Sustainable," the trade show positions
itself as a one-stop B2B international trading platform and aims to
showcase Taiwan's competitiveness in the smart agriculture industry. UBM expects
this exhibition to help farmers improve software and hardware and
to provide a better solution for extreme weather, industry upgrade,
food crisis, and agrarian sustainability.
The great crop losses caused by
extremely cold weather in 2016 and 2017 drew wide attention in the world. To
stabilize farming environment and decrease the impact of severe
weather, vendors have been focusing on the development of environmental control
systems, water-saving irrigation equipment, agricultural monitoring
facilities and pest identification tools for greenhouses and plant factories. The greenhouse constructor, Hua
Wang Ltd., endeavours to change weather conditions in small spaces. It produces advanced greenhouses with steel structure,
equipped with an indoor
environmental control and automatic irrigation system, a recovery system for waste heat, heaters
that save 15% of energy, automatic
shading nets and fans ventilation systems to help farmers increase
productivity and achieve steady income.
In addition, the use of agricultural nutrients and organic
fertilizers has become one of the strategies to mitigate the impact of extreme weather.
Soil Conditioner of BIO, a new
microbiological fertilizer introduced by Wellness Top
Biotech, provides biological microorganisms a
better reproducing circumstance to make soils more protective and
crops more drought- and
disease-resistant.
The 2nd edition of Asia
Agri-Tech Expo & Forum is held concurrently with
Livestock & Aquaculture Taiwan Expo
& Forum at Taipei World Trade Center, Taiwan on July
26-28. The grand 3-day exhibition contains a series of
conferences and business match-making programmes. At present, the
UBM Asia Taiwan Branch has received enquiries about indoor farming
systems from Malaysia,
Singapore and Vietnam. UBM is now calling for manufacturers
from around the world, including
Southeast Asia, the Middle
East, Europe and
USA to participate in this
one-and-only comprehensive B2B exhibition.
