Jingdong plant factory officially put into operation

On December 6, the inauguration ceremony of Jingdong Plant Factory was held in Tongzhou, Beijing. It is jointly built by Jingdong Group and Mitsubishi Chemical of Japan. The plant covers a total area of ??1,040 square meters and is expected to produce 300 tons of vegetables per year. It is the largest Japanese technology solar and artificial light combined plant factory, which can realize mass production and business use.

As early as June 2017, Jingdong Group signed a contract with Japan's Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Group, and the two sides will start business cooperation in the field of hydroponic vegetables. After more than a year of careful polishing, the Jingdong plant factory full of technical genes has finally come out, creating a precedent for domestic e-commerce self-built plant factories.

At present, Jingdong Plant Factory is from Mitsubishi Japan from materials to equipment, from seeds to nutrient solution. At the same time, Mitsubishi Chemical also provides corresponding cultivation techniques and has been stationed by Japanese experts for years.

Technology is the best to reveal the Jingdong plant factory

According to the introduction of Jingdong Fresh, Jingdong Plant Factory adopts the technical standard of Mitsubishi Chemical of Japan, and vegetables are mixed and cultivated by NFT (Nutrition Liquid Membrane Technology) and capillary water culture.

Through manual intervention technology, the temperature, humidity, light and carbon dioxide concentration in the plant can be kept in the most suitable state for vegetable growth all the year round; the water purification equipment imported from Japan can completely eliminate the water pollution, and then cooperate with the The nutrient solution produces no vegetables, no pesticides, no genetics, no hormones, no heavy metals, and the nitrite content is far below the national mandatory standard.

At the same time, the plant factory also has the energy-saving and environmental protection attributes. Plant plants cultivate vegetables with very low water consumption. Each vegetable needs only 500ml of water from seeds to vegetables, which is less than the water volume of a bottle of mineral water. It is more than 90% water-saving than conventional planting; It is also recycled, and the entire plant factory is close to zero emissions, and the load on the environment is extremely low.

While energy saving and environmental protection, high output and high efficiency are another major feature of plant factories. Taking spinach as an example, the average production cycle of spinach cultivated in plant factories is about 19茬 per year, while the spinach grown in ordinary fields does not exceed 4茬 a year, the average greenhouse does not exceed 6茬 a year, and the efficiency is 3-4. Times.

In the self-built plant factory, Wang Xiaosong, senior vice president of Jingdong Group and president of Jingdong Mall's large fast-moving business group, explained that the current domestic agricultural production is standardized, the scale is insufficient, the products are mixed, the price of high-end vegetables is too high, and the environment and soil are Supply chain integrity issues are also plaguing consumers. Jingdong Fresh hopes to provide consumers with high-standard, high-quality vegetables from the source of agricultural products through self-built plant factories.
