LED plant lighting technology enhances investors' continued overweight
March 15, 2023
The application of LED plant lighting technology in the United States and Japan has matured, and the future of LED plant factories should be the general trend. The technology of Hanhui Optoelectronics is very reliable. As an investor, I also want to see if there is any possibility of investment. Yesterday, He Yichao, general manager of Hangzhou Zhimai Trading Co., Ltd. called the creeper to express his interest in investing in the LED light source plant application project reported by this week.
As a member of the Music Creation Association, He Yichao also recommended this project to Lu Yanfeng, the Secretary General of the Music Creation Committee. Lu Yanfeng is also very optimistic about the market potential of this project. He and He Yichao will make a further investigation on this project.
The creeper reporter has conveyed the interest of investors to Han Hui Optoelectronics. Zhou Wei, chief scientist of Han Hui Optoelectronics, is very excited about this. The ivy will be deeply involved, coordinate the arrangements for the two sides to meet and discuss the specific issues of investment cooperation.
The timing of investment in LED plant factories is the key. He Yichao, general manager of Hangzhou Zhimai Trading Co., Ltd. has been paying attention to modern agriculture for a long time, and has been looking for suitable projects for diversified investment.
I personally pay more attention to the application projects in the field of modern agriculture. This project is precisely in line with the trend of modern agriculture. I hope that under the match of the ivy, I can successfully dock the investment. He Yichao told the reporter of the creeper.
For the application of LED light source in the agricultural field, He Yichao has done a special understanding before. He told reporters that the advantages of high-efficiency, non-toxic and non-polluting LED light source are obvious. Technologies like Hanhui Optoelectronics are relatively mature in the United States and Japan, and the market has also been subdivided. In Japan, about 40 vegetables are produced through automated factories such as LED cultivation. The products are mainly supplied to medium and high-end supermarkets and stores, and the rest are traditionally planted in low-end markets such as farmers.
With reference to foreign development experience, LED plant factories will be the general trend and the prospects are very broad. He Yichao said.
In this regard, Lu Yanfeng, the Secretary General of the Lechuang Association, also quite agrees: LED plant growth lamps are a major trend in the lighting of fruits and vegetables, and the field of agricultural planting, so that the taste and color of ripe melons look brighter and better. Meet the consumer's requirements for quality.
Lu Yanfeng believes that LED plant growth lamps are expected to become the mainstream of future plant lighting. In the past 10 years, the horticultural area of facilities in China has developed rapidly, and the light environment control technology of plant growth has attracted attention. The greenhouse cultivation and flower industry development in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan and other areas are quite mature, so LED plant lights have great market potential. Only the plant factory breeding industry has provided a huge consumer market for LED light sources. According to the calculation of the Nanjing Agricultural University research group, the export of seedlings alone reaches nearly 10 billion plants per year, and the annual domestic consumption is larger. If the plant factory seedlings use LEDs instead of traditional light sources, the one-time total market size will reach 200 billion yuan.
Therefore, the core issue we are concerned about now is whether the conditions for large-scale promotion are already in place and the timing is appropriate. He Yichao said.
The project party's funds are mainly used for market promotion. Lu Yanfeng told reporters that the current LED plant lamp market is still in its infancy, and there are still problems in the field of plant growth, such as high cost and poor light penetration. Agricultural lighting fixtures also have problems such as product clutter, irregular production design, lack of uniform product standards and quality management.
Taking the largest plant lighting fixtures in the current application market as an example, although LED light bead configurations based on red light and blue light are selected according to plant requirements, there is a lack of scientific and uniform specifications in light quality adjustment and light intensity design. Lu Yanfeng said. In such a market structure, Han Hui Optoelectronics' outstanding technology and products are attractive to Lu Yanfeng and He Yichao.
On the other hand, there are relatively few suppliers of domestic plant lighting fixtures, and more than 70 are concentrated in Guangdong. The scale is small, and there are gaps in many areas. This is also an important reason why Lu Yanfeng and He Yichao are very interested in the project.
To seize the blank space of the market, you need the investment of real money. Lu Yanfeng and He Yichao also hope that the project side can have a more clear calculation of the scale and direction of capital investment.
In this regard, Zhou Hui, chief scientist of Hanhui Optoelectronics, said in an interview that their team had previously introduced strategic investors, and the funds were mainly used for technology and product research and development. Now the problems of technology and products have been basically solved. More emphasis will be placed on marketing, branding, and channel expansion, which is also the main investment direction for future funds.
If investors are really optimistic about our projects, then the specific investment quota and investment rhythm can be discussed together. Market promotion is not one step at a time. It can be invested in stages according to the progress. Zhou Wei said.
After the communication between the ivy and the investors and the project side, the two sides agreed to coordinate the time by the ivy, and talked about the investment cooperation matters. The ivy will also be deeply involved in this project, for the cooperation between the two sides to penetrate the needle.
