With the support from Chinese government, TIAA and Xinghua City organized 25 unmanned agricultural machinery groups which composed of 104 companies and institutes to start unmanned agricultural work in plowing, seeding, transplanting, harvest from 2018. The test aims to solve the rural labor shortage and low-quality and inefficient production in China. At present, four seasonal agricultural operations have been completed, and unmanned agricultural products like rice and wheat have been harvested. The operation efficiency of the unmanned machines is better than normal machines. 377 intelligent agricultural machines have been sold. Nearly 300 million people in China have watched the test. The test will cover 14 crops and one-third of Chinese provinces.
