On November 18, 2019, Dean Lao Hongwu of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences (abbreviation: Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences) and related experts visited Zhejiang Taizhou Yican Food Co., Ltd. (abbreviation: Taizhou Yican) to conduct intelligent equipment for canned citrus processing Trial application of research guidance, Huangyan District Deputy District Jiang Dehua, District Economic and Science Bureau Deputy Director Xu Manyan, etc. accompanied the investigation.

Chairman Wu Yongjin introduced the company's history and business development to Dean Lao Hongwu and his entourage.

Over the years, it has focused on strengthening technical exchanges and development with various scientific research institutes. As a technical research and development support base for canned processing positions in the national modern agricultural (citrus) industrial technology system, Taizhou Yican actively promotes various forms of industry-university-research cooperation. The cooperation with the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences can be traced back to the 1980s, when the canned orange industry moved from developed countries to the country by cooperating with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The current difficulty in recruiting is becoming more and more prominent. The cost of production and employment of enterprises is constantly increasing, and the market competition is fierce. Machine replacement is necessary. In 2008, with the team of Dr. Zhang Jun from the Institute of Food Science of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, we started the research and development cooperation of mechanized and intelligent equipment for canned citrus production. The innovation of science and technology needs to be tested and perfected in large-scale production practice. The research results of the doctoral team are combined and applied with the company's production platform. Technological innovation has brought huge economic benefits to the company. In 2018, the company's exports of canned citrus accounted for one-tenth of the country's total exports.

Afterwards, the participants listened carefully to a comprehensive report on the pilot test of Dr. Zhang Jun's canned intelligent equipment research and development results. Will continue to cooperate in the research and development of citrus splitting, sorting, weighing and other automation equipment to promote the reduction of production costs and increase production capacity and product quality. With the goal of building a "black light factory", and with a focus on everything, we can better serve the transformation and upgrading of the food processing industry.

Dean Lao Hongwu expressed his affirmation of Taizhou Yitan's continuous focus on the research and development of intelligent equipment and continuous innovation in cooperation with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He said: "The Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences is a comprehensive agricultural research unit directly under the provincial government. It has 17 professional research institutes. The research scope covers 22 subject areas of agriculture and rural farmers, primary production, secondary production and tertiary production, and production and life ecology. With 128 research directions, the overall scientific and technological competitiveness has always been in the forefront of the national provincial academy of agricultural sciences. At present, in accordance with the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the two historical tasks of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences on the two historical missions of science and technology to promote agriculture and science and technology Leading agricultural enterprises including One Can cooperate to accelerate the integration of scientific research and industry around the rural revitalization strategy, give play to their respective advantages, and jointly promote more R&D cooperation projects to achieve results and industrial application.

The Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences has always kept in mind the mission of promoting agriculture through science and technology. In the future, based on the good cooperation, the two sides will need to continuously improve the cooperation mechanism and optimize the cooperation content in the service of helping enterprises solve more practical problems in science and technology. It is necessary to use the development of intelligent equipment as the link, continue to focus on the development needs of enterprises, better promote scientific and technological innovation research, and accelerate the transformation of results. Comprehensively expand cooperation areas, such as citrus variety improvement, production wastewater treatment optimization, and comprehensive utilization of peels, etc., to strengthen communication and coordination to improve the efficiency of technical allocation. Strive to promote high-quality agricultural development from a new starting point, and provide strong scientific and technological support for Zhejiang's implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and high-level promotion of agricultural modernization. "

Zhejiang Taizhou Yican Food Co., Ltd. was awarded the license to become a demonstration enterprise of the Rural Revitalization Science and Technology Action Plan of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and a joint research center for intelligent equipment was established.
