In this article, I will be identifying technologies that have been developed to improve agricultural sectors of various countries, namely the Philippines and Taiwan.
Agriculture has been an integral component of society, serving as a method of obtaining consumable food. In the Philippines, improvements to agricultural technologies were explored. For example, the usage of F1 hybrid seeds in corn production were seen in the Caraga region of the Philippines. These seeds have been used for 3 main purposes: Ensuring sustainable corn production in the region, increasing the average yield harvested, and raise the income of marginal corn farmers in the region. Similar seeds were utilised in Taiwan, and have shown to increase yield per hectare. Other technologies that have been developed in the Philippines include a solar-powered irrigation system on May 2018. It was said to irrigate up to 500,000 hectares of land. Additionally, forms of intelligent farming has allowed farmers to increase their efficiency in harvesting crops. The WR-801 Multi-Function Hand Tractor is a good example of this, being able to perform the jobs of 10 people at once. Ultimately, through the development of technology, the agricultural sector has benefitted by a tremendous amount.

Hello Jaewon
These are good examples of technologies giving benefits to the industry. Dealing with agricultural industry, I've seen many articles about technologies used in the industry that are ruining the environment. Pesticides can be one of them. However, these technologies you explained seem to be able to be the guide to sustainable development. Since the effectiveness of the implementation of these technologies are proved, so I hope it could be spread to many neighboring regions with agricultural industry.
Thank you for the great report!

Hey Jaewon!
It's Lisa:)
I have also heard that some great improvements are being made thanks to the Smart farming. Using GPS, Big Data, IoT and so on both the quality production and increase in the quantity as well can be expected! Countries like Taiwan using the hybrid seed that you have mentioned in your article can even solve the problem of food security too!
Since this new field of agriculture requires knowledge and understandings of newest technologies, many governments are encouraging the young people to get into the field and Korea is definitely one of them.
Lots of things to look upon involving this topic!
Great article and enjoyed reading it very much:)
