After retiring, Jack Ma visited the Netherlands for two consecutive years, touring Wageningen University, a Dutch public university. What exactly does Wageningen University do?
As one of the most economically developed countries in Europe, the Netherlands has a land area of over 40,000 square kilometers. Despite its small size, it consistently ranks third in global food and dairy exports and first in global flower exports.
The Netherlands' thriving agricultural and pastoral industries owe much of their success to the agricultural, forestry, and livestock professionals trained by Wageningen University over the past 140 years.
Wageningen University is a world-renowned research university, a Type-U university in the Netherlands. Its ecology, agricultural science, and environmental science programs enjoy a high global reputation and are recognized as top-tier agricultural and environmental research institutions🥇.
With such an impressive university, it's no wonder Jack Ma sought to learn there. Xiaokai, founder of CheerBio, passionate about creating indoor plant factories, naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to study at this university. In June of this year, Xiaokai visited Wageningen University for a seven-day study tour.
He visited Wageningen University's greenhouse horticulture facilities. The Netherlands boasts the world's largest area of glass greenhouses, accounting for over a quarter of the world's total greenhouse area. The greenhouses allow for precise control of growing conditions, resulting in high-yield crops with reduced resource use.
The Netherlands ranks first in the world🥇 for agricultural technology research and application, with a level of industry development that is unmatched by China. However, for China, the greater the backwardness, the greater the opportunities💡!
Through seven days of intensive agricultural training, Xiaokai of CheerBio received a certificate from Wageningen University. This trip to the Netherlands was very rewarding.
In 2021, CheerBio began researching vegetable plant factories. As a new type of smart agriculture model, plant factories integrate biotechnology, engineering technology, and system management, offering numerous advantages and benefits: no soil, no sunlight needed, crop production can take place anywhere, allowing for year-round availability of desired produce.
After countless trials and adjustments to design, size, and materials, CheerBio independently developed modular hydroponic planting equipment—PlantBlock. Available in four specifications, it is suitable for various vegetable cultivation, with modules freely combinable and stackable to meet the needs of different plant factories✔.
In CheerBio's plant factories, each square meter of land area can yield 1000-1200 jin of leafy vegetables annually; for seedling cultivation, the output is 80,000 seedlings per square meter annually.
Beyond leafy vegetables, fruit vegetables and flowers also thrive in the plant factories, with CheerBio achieving green, pollution-free, and intelligent plant production.
Plant factories can expand urban agricultural functions and be built on non-arable land such as deserts and gobi areas, helping to alleviate the constraints on China's agricultural resources and providing important support for ensuring residents' access to vegetables!
This trip to the Netherlands provided significant inspiration for CheerBio. The Netherlands' industry chain is highly specialized in every link. CheerBio will continue to emulate Dutch plant factories, focusing on specialized configurations, reduced production costs, and improved product quality!
Smart agriculture has a bright future. We look forward to visiting the Netherlands again for further study and investigation.
