Global LED plant lighting factory output value increased by 60% annually

The problem of global warming is getting worse and the problem of food shortage is getting worse. Therefore, in recent years, LED light source has been used in plant food cultivation, and the establishment of plant factories has become a trend. Fan Huairen, an industrial analyst of the Optoelectronics Association, pointed out that LED plant factory lighting annual output value growth The rate reached 62. Taiwan's factories including Yiguang, New Century, Jingdian and Yuyuan have cut into the field of plant lighting in different fields. However, due to the certain foundation of Taiwan's agricultural development and the small domestic demand market, the development of Taiwan's plant factories has been affected. Limitations, it is recommended to improve the competitiveness of the plant lighting industry towards the production of high-yield crops.
Plant factory refers to fully enclosed, artificially controlled lighting, temperature, humidity to cultivate crop growth, in addition to reducing water loss, but also through artificial LED lighting and air conditioning to achieve energy-saving effects, currently Japan is quite active in lighting factory development, According to statistics, as of the end of March 2011, there were 16 semi-manual lighting factories in Japan and 64 in full lighting.
Fan Huairen, an industry analyst at the Optoelectronics Association, pointed out that LED agricultural lighting has significant energy-saving effects. According to statistics, in the fluorescent plant plant, the lighting energy consumption is as high as 82, but if LED is used instead of traditional lighting, energy consumption can be reduced. Domestic plants are also entering the plant lighting application.
However, due to the small domestic demand market in Taiwan, the development of unfavorable biotechnology companies, the lack of improvement in the R&D and production management regulations of agricultural biotechnology, and the low human resources for Taiwan’s biotech and agricultural R&D, The market has not made a big leap forward. Fan Huairen suggested that in addition to the government's active support, the Taiwan region of China should use the advantages of the original species and the transshipment hubs located in Southeast Asia to develop high-living products, including vegetables, orchids, Chinese herbs, etc. Products, and rush into the mainland market, while using high-tech technologies such as semiconductors to accelerate and improve the production process.
