Starting with a single tomato, we glimpse another possibility for modern agriculture
The moment you step into the greenhouse, the air is filled with the sweet, fresh scent of fruit. Red tomatoes, yellow watermelons, and green cucumbers grow in neat rows, resembling a carefully designed “agricultural space.”
Recently, led by Mr. Fan Ziping of the Zhongyuan Association in Singapore, a delegation of the association’s presidents visited the Luoyang Nongfa Modern Agricultural Industrial Park, embarking on a unique agricultural tour. This trip was not merely about observing agriculture; rather, it was a glimpse into what the future of agriculture might look like.
A Tour of the Park | Agriculture Can Be “Beautiful”
Many people still think of agriculture as simply “working in the fields.” But the Nongfa Agricultural Industrial Park shatters that perception at first glance.
This place feels more like a space that blends production, experience, and daily life: clean, orderly, and even a bit stylish.
Located in Mengjin District, Luoyang, the park covers a planned area of over 600 mu. From the very beginning, it has been designed not merely as a farming operation, but as a modern agricultural complex.
It’s not just about farming—it’s about “building a complete industry”
Throughout the presentation, one term came up repeatedly—“the Ten-in-One.”
Not only do we grow agricultural products here, but we also integrate: agriculture + research + recreation + education + experiential activities + wellness + logistics……
In other words, a single piece of land has been developed into an entire industrial chain. That is why it resembles an “agricultural project” rather than just a farm.
最有意思的，是这些“会让人想拍照的农产品”
这一站，大家停留时间最长的，是大棚。为什么？很简单——太好看了。
✔ 酸甜果番茄，一口下去像水果
✔ 彩虹西瓜，颜色分层明显、视觉冲击很强
✔ 水果黄瓜，口感清脆还带着自然的甜
这些已经不只是“农产品”，而是：可以被体验、被分享、被升级消费的产品。这背后，其实是农业正在发生的一种变化：从“卖产量” → 到“卖品质 + 卖体验”。
农业背后，其实是科技在撑着
很多人觉得农业是“传统行业”，但在这里——完全不是。园区依托河南农业大学、河南省农业科学院、河南科技大学等科研力量，从种植到管理不断优化。
换句话说：现在的农业，比拼的是技术与体系，而不是体力。
一场交流，也是一种新的思考
在随后的交流中，大家讨论最多的，其实不只是农业本身，而是一个更现实的问题： 农业，未来能不能成为一门“好生意”？
从现场的观点来看，答案是清晰的：当农业与科技、品牌和体验结合，它的价值空间正在被重新定义。
这趟参访的意义，不只是“看”
这一次走进农发农业产业园，让大家看到一个正在发生的趋势：农业，正在从“基础行业”走向“可升级、可创新、可连接资源”的新产业。
对于中原会而言，这样的走访，不只是交流，更是在不断拓展认知边界，寻找新的可能。
