University Biotechnology Students Visit SANANBIO Plant Factory in 2025
Ningde Normal University reported a practical biotechnology field visit that included SANANBIO plant-factory environmental controls, LED lighting and cultivation systems.
A university report published on April 16, 2025 documents practical field study visits made by biotechnology students from Ningde Normal University in Fujian, China. During visits conducted on March 31 and April 15, students and instructors toured multiple businesses and practical teaching sites involved in modern plant production. One of the stops was Fujian Sananbio's controlled-environment plant-factory operations.
According to the university, the visit exposed students to environmental control systems, precisely managed light conditions and modern cultivation methods. These are central elements of plant-factory engineering: a controlled growing environment combines crop-specific lighting, water and nutrient delivery with operational monitoring. The university described the visits as a way to connect classroom learning to real-world industrial practices.
This report is useful as third-party documentation that SANANBIO's facilities were used as an educational reference site in 2025. It also illustrates a practical role for vertical-farming infrastructure beyond food production: training future horticulture, biotechnology and agricultural engineering professionals.
The source does not report an equipment purchase by the university, a research contract, new plant-factory capacity, or quantified crop performance from the field trip. Accordingly, this article describes a training and site-visit activity, not a newly completed commercial deployment.
