A total of more than 100 billion RMB ($16 billion USD) worth of agricultural goods were traded through the internet in 2014, accounting for 3% of the total agricultural trades in China, according to the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry made sure to link the stats to its Internet Plus strategy, which has an agricultural component. Internet Plus is a policy led by China’s State Council to boost the economy by promoting new web-based businesses. Agriculture Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives are currently adopted in eight provinces including Beijing, Heilongjiang province, and Inner Mongolia. The Ministry of Agriculture Bureau Chief Zhang Hecheng believes that technology can stimulate and influence the agricultural production.
