China Seed Congress 2023 and Nanfan Agricultural Silicon Valley Forum push for revitalization of seed industry
The 2023 China Seed Congress and Nanfan Agricultural Silicon Valley Forum convened more than 3,000 domestic and international members and industry players to articulate proposals for the revitalization of the Chinese seed industry and the further development of Nanfan Agricultural Silicon Valley.
The members analyzed the development of the seed industry in China, outlined strategies for business growth, and exchanged valuable points of view on the revitalization of the sector. Various experts and scholars proposed effective methodologies to identify emerging trends and challenges in the current seed industry.
Sanya’s Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City Administration Office called for the physical parts of the Nanfan Museum, currently under construction, to be collected. The museum commemorates Nanfan’s transformation into one of China’s leading seed-growing centers over the past six decades. The museum construction began on October 10, 2022. In addition to showcasing Nanfan’s achievements, the museum will include a section dedicated to honoring Nanfan’s older generation’s resilience.
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the China Seed Association, the Hainan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City Administration Office in Sanya launched a collaborative effort to gather documentary sources, photos, plant samples, tools and production equipment, scientific research instruments, daily necessities and other commemorative items related to Nanfan.
These objects will be used to create a panoramic exhibition telling the story of Nanfan Agricultural Silicon Valley. In addition to preserving Nanfan’s historical records, the museum will feature a section dedicated to the Hainan Free Trade Port. The story of Nanfan and the success of the commercial port is an example of China’s strong commitment to self-sufficiency and the advancement of scientific and technological innovation.
