2014 Seed Industry New Deal Takes Root and Steps into a New Stage

The coming 2014, known as the "first year of comprehensive deepening reform", focuses on the agricultural sector, and the connotation of "comprehensive deepening" is particularly evident in the reform of the crop seed industry. Judging from the development trend in 2014, the development of the seed industry has begun to enter a new stage. Taking the opinions on deepening the Reform of seed Industry system and improving Innovation ability, which was implemented by the State Office at the end of last year, as a new starting point, the new policy of seed industry has developed from innovative design to taking root, and the policy layout has become more and more detailed. The reform of the seed industry has stepped into the depth of the industry, and the focus of the reform is focused on the key points of the scientific research system and the fineness of innovation and development, and is firmly moving forward in the direction of more respecting market laws, stimulating the vitality of the main body, and promoting management science.

To respect the market law is to strengthen the direction of marketization and build a commercial breeding system.

To respect the market law is to strengthen the direction of marketization and build a commercial breeding system. From the beginning of the new policy of the seed industry three years ago, the concept of commercial breeding has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Looking back on this year, the dominant position of seed enterprises has been further strengthened, and the construction of modern commercial breeding system marked by "industrialization" has been accelerated. Product innovation, brand innovation, industrial organization innovation and business model innovation are being promoted in all directions. Represented by Longping Hi-Tech and Tsuen Yin Hi-Tech introducing strategic investments such as CITIC Group and Zhongxin Rongchuang, Nongfa seed Industry acquired Shanxi Luyu and Jiangsu Golden Land, China seed Group increased capital and controlled Guangdong Golden Rice, Modern seed Industry Development Fund injected 350 million yuan into seed industry, the pace of merger and reorganization of seed industry was accelerated, and capital strength, scientific research strength and market competitiveness were also greatly improved. There is more and more positive energy for the national seed industry to become bigger and stronger.

To stimulate the vitality of the subject is to innovate the system and mechanism and clarify the ownership of rights and interests. The pilot reform of the proportion of rights and interests in scientific research achievements in the seed industry, launched this year, has fully stimulated the innovative vitality of scientific and technological personnel and given them more rights and interests in the use, income, and disposal of achievements. For researchers engaged in commercial breeding, let the elements of breeding resources flow, breeding for enterprises, to enterprises breeding. Since the beginning of this year, some provinces represented by Hunan have issued special and relaxed policies for the flow of talents in the transitional seed industry, supporting scientific research institutes and universities to create conditions to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship by means of part-time work, hanging up posts, and signing contracts. We will promote scientific research personnel to breed for enterprises and enterprises.

To promote management science is to innovate ways and means and define the orientation of the government. Since the beginning of this year, the "visible hand" of the government has changed to a more scientific, efficient, fair and transparent role: first, "simplified administration". The newly revised "measures for the examination and approval of Major crop varieties" issued at the beginning of the year have opened up a green channel for variety approval, allowing enterprises to test varieties on their own, encouraging their innovation ability and enhancing their sense of responsibility. The second is "strict control." since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture, in conjunction with public security, industry and commerce, and judicial departments, has launched special actions to crack down on infringement of breed rights and fake and inferior seeds, and intensified the investigation and handling of major cases. Third, "service", strengthen the research on frontier science and core technology, promote the basic and public construction of seed production bases, germplasm resources, and personnel training in the seed industry, organize and carry out major national scientific research on improved varieties, and expand seed industry technology and information public services. The fourth is "guidance". Under the leadership of the government, the development of a series of activities such as the evaluation of the "Top Ten Meritorious figures of China's seed Industry" has not only greatly encouraged the confidence of people in the industry to expand and strengthen the national seed industry, but also let all sectors of society pay more attention and support to the seed industry.

If you do not accumulate steps, you will not be thousands of miles away, and if you do not accumulate small streams, you will not be able to become rivers. The seed industry reform in 2014 is not only detailed and gradual, step by step, but also has a clear goal and far-reaching layout, because more and more people in the seed industry have reached a consensus: only when the two wheels of scientific and technological innovation and institutional reform of the seed industry really match, and rotate at the same frequency, the development of the industry will have a qualitative leap, and the future of the national seed industry will be more predictable.
