Over the past two years, precision sowing and targeted fertilization have increased yields in the Nedong demonstration area by 6.8 percent, with new crop varieties increasing average farmer revenue by 258 yuan per 0.66 hectare in Lhokha.

Nedong's success reflects a broader technological shift across Xizang. According to data from the regional government, the region's grain mechanization rate reached 73.4 percent in 2025 and is projected to exceed 80 percent by 2030.
