Chinese mushrooms grown in ‘smart greenhouses’ spur multimillion dollar business

Farmers in central China’s Hubei province have been growing mushrooms in smart greenhouses controlled by their smartphones. The intelligent greenhouses also allow farmers to monitor the growth of their produce remotely. Farmers say it is a more economical way to produce better products and avoid losses from natural disasters. Villagers sell the mushrooms on e-commerce platforms through live streaming. One online shop owner says his sales volume has reached more than 12 million yuan (US$1.9 million).
