Taoping Inc. (Nasdaq: TAOP, the “Company”), a provider of innovative smart cloud platform services and solutions, today announced that it is targeting annual sales of approximately RMB 200 million (approximately US$27 million) in 2026 from an expanded cooperation in smart agriculture between its subsidiary, Taoping Industrial (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. (“Taoping Yunnan”) and Mengla County Agricultural Reclamation Group Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary Mengla County Mengman Farm Co., Ltd (collectively, “Mengla”).
Under the expanded cooperation, Taoping Yunnan and Mengla plan to increase the total planting area to 500 acres from the current nearly 75 acres, with the creation of several thousand flexible jobs. To achieve their ambitious goals, Taoping Yunnan and Mengla are leveraging advanced technologies, including enhanced drones, artificial intelligence (AI), big data and the Internet of Things, to enhance production and operational efficiency.
As previously announced in February 2025, the Company and the Government of Mengla County, Yunnan Province planned to promote high-quality development of the local agricultural industry and were targeting an expansion of their planting base in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province to 3,500 acres, with 2027 projected annual output valued at RMB 600 million (US$82.5 million).
Mr. Jianghuai Lin, Chairman and CEO of Taoping, said, “Our strategic partnership with Mengla has already delivered strong results. With their support in land, policy, and technical resources, our trial vegetable crops in early 2025 achieved excellent production and sales. These results validate the growth potential of our agricultural business and have led us to sign three additional land lease agreements with Mengla, significantly expanding our demonstration planting base and positioning us for accelerated revenue growth in this sector.”
