Meet Jie Bulu, a tea farmer from the Jinuo ethnic group in Yunnan Province, whose 300-year-old tea trees are now gaining global attention—thanks to an AI-powered platform at the China International Fair for Trade in Services. His story isn’t just about tradition; it’s a tech-driven leap into the future. 🚀
Jie’s tea, alongside Panama’s premium coffee and Papua New Guinea’s vanilla, is part of the UN-backed 'One Country, One Priority Product' initiative. The twist? Buyers can virtually visit farms via real-time footage, ensuring transparency and trust. Imagine sipping coffee while exploring its origin via livestream! ☕📱
'This isn’t just a fair—it’s a bridge,' said Nelson Simbiken of Papua New Guinea’s National Agricultural Research Institute. Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s Harunur Rashid highlighted surplus tropical fruits ripe for export: 'We’re ready to share our harvest with the world.' 🌴🍍
From remote mountains to bustling trade floors, AI is rewriting the rules for small-scale farmers. Could this be the future of sustainable trade? 🌾✨
