00:00Hello everyone, I am in Shandong, China where the world's largest vegetable expo is being held.

00:06So let's go inside and make some fascinating discoveries and find out what this is all about.

00:30Dear viewers, we find ourselves at the heart of the labyrinth and our mission is to find

00:40the longest vegetable, the largest vegetable, the most technologically advanced vegetable

00:46and the least recognisable vegetable.

00:49So let's find these together.

00:54So we have tiny heirloom tomatoes and right next to these are these almost black, deep

01:04violet.

01:05So to my right and to my left is a display of soilless coconut farming, but they're not

01:11just ordinary flowers.

01:13These are traditional Chinese medicine herbs.

01:16You must be wondering, this looks like a pumpkin, but it is not a pumpkin.

01:21It is a tomato.

01:22This is the self-pollination robot.

01:25It is automatic pollination.

01:27It recognises different kinds of seeds, uses air and also other flows to be able to automatically

01:34pollinate within greenhouses.

01:49This one looks the best.

01:55I can move it a little bit.

01:57This is a ginormous pumpkin.

02:01It is 400 jin or 200 kilograms.

02:05And this entire section is filled with pumpkins about this size.

02:11Can you guess what is that in the air?

02:14That is sweet potatoes.

02:16Each potato is about 10 times larger than an average sweet potato.

02:21And what this new technology is enabling is that we don't need to grow these potatoes

02:26underground.

02:27There is a very advanced intelligence system that results in just 60 square metres of space

02:34being able to cultivate 2,400 kilograms of sweet potatoes every year, all year round.

02:42After hours of hard work, searching, searching for the longest vegetable, here in front of

02:48me is a loofah.

02:51This one here is not only one metre long, not only two metres long, it is almost three

02:58metres long.

02:59And my friends, this is one of our final destinations, the longest vegetable here at the Shougang

03:05Vegetable Expo.

03:06And there are really small plants that we are used to seeing.

03:10But here, we have a tomato tree, which is spanning 80 metres square, which is capable

03:17of growing 3,000 kilograms of tomatoes every year.

03:40We just stumbled across the cutest and most useful machine I couldn't even have imagined

03:50exists.

03:51This is a tractor that can not only elevate in height, it can carry a whopping 750 kilograms

04:00of weight and make it easy for farmers to move from one place to another.

04:05We have seen plants grow in soil, in substitutes of soil, or in water.

04:11But can you imagine fruits and vegetables thriving without water, without soil?

04:17Here we have aerosol agriculture that is creating an air environment through moisture, giving

04:23precisely the nutrients that these plants need to help them grow, help them thrive.

04:29We have arrived at the epitome of scientific advancement in agriculture technology.

04:35Here we have plants that are not only thriving in deserts and unbecoming climatic situations,

04:42they are thriving in outer space.

04:45And another interesting thing is, this is also a story of Pakistan-China collaboration.

04:50The tomatoes that were thriving in space, they came from seeds that were from Pakistan.

04:58So why is Shoguang Shandong the host of the largest vegetable expo in the world?

05:04So what is the ultimate secret behind this special status?

05:09Let's find out what it's all about.
