Taiwan CEPD recently pointed out that Taiwan’s LED Lighting Technology and Precision Industry are of great international competitiveness, and hydroponics, agricultural facilities and other technologies developed by the appropriate hardware and software integration, external output of the plant factory “complete set of facilities and technology, there is a considerable opportunity.
Taiwan CEPD suggested that relevant departments should set industry personnel training courses, and integrated talent cultivation greenhouse environmental control and crop cultivation physiological response to response industry needs.
As the abnormal global climate change growing, so agricultural products that were grown in the outdoors may have poor harvest due to natural disasters, some areas of poor farming conditions pay much attention to the feasibility of the “advanced led grow lights factory”.
However, the CEPD officials noted, due to the small domestic market in Taiwan, and adequate agricultural land, and the development of the plant factory limitations; and now it is still underway for the feasibility, mostly experimental in nature.
The official said, the plant factory production costs of electricity accounted for about 30% or more. If there is no low-cost power and high efficiency artificial lighting to reduce production costs, plant factory is not enough attractive to farmers.
Taiwan LED makers such as Ever-light, the new century, Epistar and Formosa Epitaxy, in recent years, it cuts into the different areas of the field of advanced led grow lights and tries to put the LED light source in the cultivation of plant food. The electronics manufacturers are going to have pilot production plant factory is that they want to improve their technology and ready to enter the industry.
Stakeholders said, most of the plant factory take a multi-layered cultivation to increase the yield per unit area; cultivated crops to harvest in a short-term, individual highly limited as vegetables, but it mainly used as fresh vegetable salad.
The successful development of environmental control equipment of the plant factory the chairman of SOLIDLITE Tran Hung said, the company sell the LED light source to the plant factory equipment package construct, and exported to countries such as Japan, the Netherlands, mainland China and Qatar, the past three years, the profit was growing year by year, and the business also increased.
