On October 17, a delegation from South Africa visited the DAYU Irrigation Group to conduct an in-depth inspection and exchange on innovative practices in smart agriculture, efficient water resource utilization, and sustainable agricultural development. This visit lays a solid foundation for deepening Sino-South African agricultural technology cooperation and expanding practical areas of China-Africa collaboration, serving as a vivid example of mutual learning and exchange in trade, economy, and technology between China and Africa in the new era.
01 On-site Visit
At the Tianjin headquarters, the delegation followed the group’s comprehensive industry-chain research route, visiting sequentially the cultural exhibition hall, the Water Management Operations and Dispatch Center, the smart greenhouse, the drip irrigation equipment production workshop, the acoustic-based cloud-seeding technology workshop, as well as the demonstration area showcasing modernized irrigation management models and the gate manufacturing workshop. Through hands-on observation of the intelligent irrigation equipment R&D and production process, and by deeply experiencing the integrated application scenarios of "smart water management + modern agriculture," the delegation gained a systematic understanding of DAYU Irrigation’s core strengths in areas such as water-saving technology innovation, intelligent equipment manufacturing, and full-chain agricultural services. They highly praised the group’s practical achievements in leveraging technological innovation to address agricultural water resource challenges and drive the transformation and upgrading of agricultural production methods. In particular, the delegation paid close attention to how well the technical solutions align with South Africa’s local agricultural development needs, clearly outlining the direction for future collaboration between the two sides.
02 Panel Discussion and Exchange
Wang Haoyu, Chairman of the DAYU Irrigation, warmly welcomed the delegation's visit. During the exchange, he reviewed the company's 30-year journey of development, emphasizing that the group has consistently relied on technological innovation as its core driving force. Thanks to its superior product quality, comprehensive service system spanning the entire value chain, and a globally oriented strategic vision, Dayu has grown into a leading player in the global water-saving irrigation sector, with its products and solutions benefiting numerous countries and regions. He clearly stated that South Africa, as a vital hub for agricultural development in Africa, is experiencing urgent needs in both efficient water resource utilization and agricultural modernization. Therefore, DAYU Irrigation is eager to seize this opportunity—this crucial inspection—as a pivotal moment to precisely align with South Africa's real agricultural development requirements. By seamlessly integrating its mature smart water-saving technologies with localized applications, Dayu aims to inject "Dayu Power" into helping South Africa build an efficient, green, and sustainable agricultural development system.
Cui Jing, Senior Vice President of DAYU Irrigation Group and Chairman of the Equipment Development Group, emphasized that the group has always remained committed to its mission: "Serving global agricultural water conservation and contributing to sustainable development." With three decades of deep industry expertise and a wealth of practical experience, the group is poised to provide robust support for South Africa's agricultural modernization efforts. Fu Shuai, Deputy General Manager of the Group’s International Business Division, and Olivia, Business Manager of the Middle East & Africa Company, elaborated on various aspects, including the company’s overseas strategic layout, core technology portfolio, and exemplary domestic and international project cases. They particularly highlighted South Africa’s current water resource challenges and the pain points in its agricultural sector, offering detailed insights into the localized implementation strategies and service assurance mechanisms of intelligent water-saving solutions. In response to specific questions raised by the delegation—such as technical application details and regional cooperation models—the two sides engaged in an in-depth discussion. The Dayu Water Saving team’s precise answers and forward-looking plans further strengthened the delegation’s confidence in the partnership prospects, fostering a shared vision for collaborative success.
This visit by the South African delegation not only strengthened the foundation of cooperation between the two sides in smart agriculture and the efficient utilization of water resources, but also served as a significant microcosm of China-South Africa's growing people-to-people exchanges in trade, economics, and technology. As a leading enterprise deeply rooted in water-saving solutions, DAYU Irrigation Saving will continue to leverage technological innovation as its key link, fully capitalizing on its comprehensive strengths in areas such as smart irrigation and integrated water resource management. We will actively explore new models of collaboration with South Africa and other African regions, helping to address the region's pressing water scarcity challenges. In doing so, we aim to enrich the practical aspects of China-Africa cooperation and contribute to building an even closer China-Africa community with a shared future.
