Watch: 'Flying Bananas' – How low-altitude tech is helping Yunnan's agriculture soar
In southwest China's Yunnan Province, where rugged mountains stretch across the landscape, farmers have long grown crops like bananas in remote high-altitude fields. For generations, harvest season meant hauling produce by hand down steep slopes to collection points – a backbreaking routine. But in the past few years, a quiet revolution has taken flight – agricultural drones now swoop through valleys, lifting heavy loads once carried on human shoulders. Join CGTN reporter Zhang Zhenni as she walks the banana terraces with local growers and witnesses how drone technology has reshaped their workdays.
