The global warming problem become more and more serious, the food shortage problem is worsening, therefore the LED lights source used in plant food cultivation, establish ” plant ” as a trend, photoelectric Association industry analysis, LED plant factory lighting year GDP growth rate reached 62%, the factory include billion LED Panel Light ( 2393-TW), the new century (3383-TW), crystal ( 2448-TW ), round (3061-TW) are cut into the different fields of plant lighting field, however, due to Taiwan agriculture development have a certain foundation, in addition, with the domestic market is small, the Taiwan plant factory development limited, so we advice toward production of high type crop, to improve plant lighting industry competitiveness.
Plant factory is fully enclosed, with artificial controlled illumination, temperature, humidity to cultivated crops, in addition to reduce water loss, but also through artificial LED lighting and air conditioning energy saving. Right now, Japan is actively involved in lighting factory development, according to statistics, up to the end of March 2011, the Japanese half artificial lighting factory have reached 16 department, the completely illuminated with 64 office.
Photoelectric Association industry analysis teachers pointed out, LED agriculture lighting has obvious energy saving effect, according to statistics, in the fluorescent lamp plant seedling plant, lighting energy consumption up to 82%, but if LED is used to replace traditional lighting that can reduce the energy consumption; the domestic factory lighting also enter the plant lighting applications, such as lighting in 2011, and Philips, Japan’s Mitsubishi Chemical and other international companies, LED plant lighting signed a strategic cooperation agreement to study the common development of special LED lighting application products together.
But at the minimum request of Taiwan’s domestic market, it is not good for the development of adverse bio-tech, and in addition to increase agricultural biotechnology R & D and production management code is not perfect, and the investment of Taiwan biotechnology medical and agricultural research and development human funds is low, so it made Taiwan plant lighting market and failed to have substantially leap, Fan Huairen had a proposal that except government actively fostering, our domestic should use the original advantages plus the location of southeast of the transport hub advantages to develop usury based products, including vegetables, orchids, medicinal herbs and other products, and get into the mainland market, at the same time with semiconductor technology, and to accelerate, improve production process.
