Taiwan: plant plant using LED cultivation of large business opportunities

The executive yuan of Taiwan CEPD pointed out yesterday, Taiwan LED lighting technology and precision industry with international competitiveness, and the island of hydroponics, agricultural facilities and other technologies developed by the appropriate hardware and software integration, but a complete set of facilities and technology export plant factory ", considerable business opportunities.

The Council suggested that the relevant departments should be set up industrial personnel training courses, training with greenhouse environmental control and crop cultivation physiological integration of talent, in order to meet the needs of the industry.

The global climate change is becoming more and more serious, and the agricultural products planted outdoors may be cut down by natural disasters, so some poor farming conditions, began to pay attention to the feasibility of plant factory.

However, according to the officials of the Taiwan Construction Commission, the market for small plants and the development of plant plants are limited because of the small domestic market, and the feasibility study is still in progress.

Officials said that the cost of production in the plant factory accounted for more than 30% of the electricity, if there is no cheap power and efficient artificial lighting to reduce production costs, plant plants are not attractive to farmers.

Officials pointed out that manufacturers such as LED billion light, new century, EPISTAR and Formosa epitaxy, in recent years the starting plant lighting field in different fields, try to use LED light source in plant grain cultivation, production of electronic manufacturers related plant factory is also improved their technology, ready to enter the industry.

Officials say the current plant factory mostly adopt multi-layer cultivation, in order to improve the yield per unit area; cultivated crops to harvest, short-term individual limited height is mainly used as leaf vegetables, fresh vegetable salad.

The successful development of the plant factory environmental control equipment science & Technology chairman Chen Xing said yesterday that the construction of a complete set of equipment of the company by the LED light cut plant factory and export, such as Japan, Holland, Chinese, and Qatar, the three years of profit growth of business volume has increased.

Chen Xing pointed out that the company's Know-How on the closest to the true light of lighting technology, and combined with Taiwan's agricultural professionals continue to improve the relevant environmental control equipment. In his view, the electronics factory invested large sums of money for the development of plant plants, there is a lot of competitive pressure, but he has applied for patent.
