During the cold winter season, the persimmon processing factories in Pingle County, Guilin City, Guangxi, are bustling with activity as workers are busy sorting and packaging golden dried persimmons. Pingle County boasts a long history of persimmon cultivation, which can be traced back to the Tang and Song dynasties. Currently, the county's persimmon planting area has reached 180,000 mu, with an annual output of over 600,000 tons of fresh fruit, and the comprehensive output value of the industrial chain has exceeded 6 billion yuan. "Pingle Dried Persimmon" has obtained the national geographical indication certification trademark, while "Pingle Persimmon" and "Pingle Ice Persimmon" have been included in the national list of famous, special, and new agricultural products. Behind this impressive report card lies the deep integration of digital technology from China Mobile's Guangxi Guilin Branch with traditional agriculture. In Pingle County's persimmon base, an IoT data monitoring system accurately collects key data such as soil moisture, wind direction, and pH value, simultaneously transmitting it to a backend smart dashboard for analysis and judgment. "We used to rely on experience to grow persimmons; now we use data, and the fruit setting rate has significantly improved," said a fruit farmer, their face beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest. In Pingle's largest persimmon processing park, technological empowerment has brought a qualitative improvement in product quality control. Over 60 high-definition cameras enable visual monitoring of the entire production and transaction process. At Guilin Guonong Ecological Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd. in Qiaoting Township, the deployment of enterprise broadband and the "Thousand-Mile Eye" video surveillance system has made management more efficient and intelligent. From cultivation to processing, the support of technology has propelled Pingle's persimmon industry onto the fast track of standardization and industrial development, achieving a leap from household-specific production to unified standard manufacturing. It is reported that the local government will continue to deepen the construction of digital platforms such as the "Persimmon Industry Brain" to further polish the golden brand of Pingle dried persimmons.
