From Ningxia Smart Greenhouse Technology Expands into Middle East and North Africa

How does the application of Ningxia's smart greenhouse technology affect Dubai?

Dubai signed technology transfer agreement for Ningxia's smart greenhouses Dubai's landscaping authority invited Ningxia Wozhiyuan Technology Co. to test its smart photovoltaic greenhouse technology in the city's hot, arid desert conditions. After the company successfully grew watermelons, Dubai acknowledged the results and signed a technology transfer agreement with the company the following year. This adoption allows Dubai to utilize advanced Chinese solutions to address agricultural challenges in its desert environment.
