The story of a flower and a city working together is on the rise。
This is the heart of the chinese flower industry, donan. Every day, hundreds of millions of cut flowers travel from here to fill the world. And the city of kunming, where the flower industry originated, is located in the goon districtScience and technology innovationIn order to lead, it's from agriculture to agriculture, to intelligent farming, to marketsIntegration of the civil brigadeAnd it's a beautiful painting of an industrial chain-breaking upgrade. A flower, not only."Beautiful industriesIt has become a “happy industry” for thousands of families。
Attacking the chinese core: breaking the neck from the source topic
“we grow the chinese core on our own to make the most beautiful flowers for the happiness of the people.” chai yan fei, a researcher at the agricultural institute of yunnan province, said that he had the first thought of innovation in the flower industry。
In recent years, the united yunnan agricultural institute of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland has established the international center for the innovation of flower technology and the laboratory for the bioculture of flowers, which has built a “living gene pool” covering over 1,000 species of resources, including the monthly season, lily and so on. The cai ying fei team's attack on the core technology of gestation during the season has significantly enhanced the country's capacity for autonomous innovation in its seasonal varieties. In january 2026, more than 1,000 new chinese wind seasons with autonomous intellectual property rights, including bohua, were released. This spring, a group of chinese people such as "boohua" and "bong soo" and "choon" went to the red market during the winter season. On 18 march, the yunnan agricultural institute officially awarded the monthly “stull su” to the village of basu, guangxi loi, so that the spiritual flower would take root in the red land. “china wind, chinese core, chinese made” — the nine words are the lowest in the hearts of flower farmers。
Outside the monthly season, orange infarction has also made a breakthrough. It was once a quenched “imported species” orange cord, which, after years of attack by a team of young scientists from the yunnan agricultural institute, raised the genetic editing success rate to 94 per cent, overcoming the “clad neck” problem of dependence on imported seeds. "i want the world to talk about flower innovation, first of all, in donanan, like silicon valley." li sao has full confidence. The “moon of the yang” season for indigenous enterprises, which take 80 per cent of the domestic market for their embroidery variety “sea blues” and, since 2017, collects authorization fees from abroad, has made it possible to move from “into” to “out”。
Science and technology empowerment: building a modern facility agriculture “smart pole”
Instead of pursuing “wide coverage”, focusing on “high quality”, efforts are being made to create intelligent, standardized, green demonstration bases. Into the “smart flower house” in the goon district, lee joon's "versaille" was impressive: “a few years ago he went to kenya, the netherlands to study, and his cell phone was full of memory. And now foreign colleagues come to us and take pictures in the same position as we did in the day." this is a $20 million "smart flowerhouse" designed to provide careful care for the growth of flowers through the precision management of hot water and gas by the hangar system, which sprays mist in time. Here, a person efficiently manages more than 90 acres, with the maximum annual production of rose acres exceeding $200,000, more than three times higher than traditional cultivation, 80 per cent of class a expenditure, and the output of roses such as catherine “proud” sells russian and dubai。
The horticulture of yunnan, a deep-burned southland, was equally bright, with its intelligent greenhouses growing a variety of butterflies and large flowers, with sales exceeding $20 million in 2025. Of even greater concern is the fact that technology is achieving “light quantification”. The digital cloud ai smart system, developed by the provincial agricultural institute and local enterprises, provides ordinary growers with access to customized planting programmes through mobile phones; 18 state patents and the landing of three green production technologies have both reduced the pollution from agricultural sources and ensured the stability of flowers from sources。
The market of intellectual capabilities: the “global access” to the “clouds”
A four-part distribution system of “underline + line + cross-border + data” has been developed with the donam flower at its core. In 2025, a trade volume of 15,476 million dominos, a trade volume of 13,484 million yuan, ran across the country for 26 consecutive years, and the position of the trade centre for flowers continued to strengthen。
Underline transactions are smart, and the digitized trading system at the kunming international flower auction and exchange centre has matured, taking an average of four seconds for a single transaction. In the spring season of 2026, during which the centre's day was close to 5. 5 million, the mechanism of good quality pricing was highlighted. On-line innovation breakthroughs have resulted in the introduction of an integrated “storage-live-delivery” model in the cloudhouse, with the annual output of the electrician live broadcast in 2025 exceeding $500 million; and an innovative “sell-and-pick” model in the flower farmers, which effectively reduces their risk and leads to an annual increase of $20,000 in the price of imported farmers。
Logistics and data are two-wheel-drive, and industry packages are overhauled. The doinan international integrated logistics centre for flowers, which was incorporated into national transport power country pilots, has been successfully closed, with over 200 cold-chain logistics enterprises assembled in the park, bringing together seamless cold-chain transport from the field to the market, with a 20 per cent improvement in the quality of fresh cut flowers and a reduction in losses to less than 10 per cent. “logistics centre roofs are integrated with the campus platform to fill the panels from both hardware and software to make flowers faster, more fresh and more competitive.” kwok yanchuan, director of the doo-namang industrial integrated services centre in hong kong district。
The quality of the standard leads to the establishment of the main rules for trade in cut flowers and lays the groundwork for the construction of a national standard system for the “quinming flower”. Data elements drive industrial change, and the first flower trade data element in the country is on the line, and doo-nam is accelerating to become a global flower big data clearing house, whose role as a “price barometer” and “market wind pointer” for chinese flowers has become more prominent。
"there's a romance called doonan."
On the spring holiday of 2026, kunming doo nanhua became the most popular town in hong kong, hosting 6,758,000 visitors, an increase of 38. 96 per cent over the same period, with an out-of-provincial share of 73. 8 per cent. A series of events on the theme of "the haneda celebrity doo-nam" combines flower experiences, creative fairs, auctions, etc., allowing tourists to enjoy the "seeing, consumption, experience" and the sustained warming of the "romantic economy" with flowers。
In recent years, the zongang district has been undergoing a continuous process of intensive cultivation of the "flows + letters brigades" and has developed special ip activities such as the "flows and life festivals" to promote the upgrading of flowers from "commodities" to "life aesthetics". The country's first complex of flower industry fairs has been set up and is running on a pilot basis, opening doors to guests in the donan flower sea park, accompanied by immersion projects such as the making of flowers and the work of immortal peanuts, which constantly enrich the supply of literature. At present, the city of donanflower has been successfully selected for the national night culture and tourism consumption cluster. “we turn doo-nan from a `fruit trading ground' to a `visiting destination', making more tourists feel `a life called yun-nan, a romance called doo-nan'.” li tao, deputy director of the cultural and tourism department of the goon district, said。
The industry is flourishing. At present, the whole industry chain of flowers in the kaungang district has been linked to more than 70,000 jobs, generating more than 300,000 flower farmers throughout the province. From a seed, to a market, to an industry, to a city — a “flash change” with a flower — responds to the promise of the times: to make beautiful industries a happy day。
