After the on-site display, members of the public can come to experience the fun of picking vegetables in the field.

Drive the application of thousands of improved varieties

Promote the adjustment of agricultural structure

"to take a simple example, after the introduction and display of excellent varieties such as storage and transportation-tolerant tomatoes, the breeding process of the same type of varieties in China has been significantly accelerated, and the benefits are remarkable. According to incomplete statistics, at present, the area of this variety cultivated in South China is more than 200000 mu every year, and the seed consumption is 3000 kg. According to the seed cost of 80000 yuan / kg, the seed value is 240 million yuan. On the other hand, the seed cost of the new variety is only 5000 yuan / kg. According to this calculation, the seed cost alone can save 225 million yuan. " A technician from the provincial agricultural technology extension station said that the exhibition and promotion of the seed fair has strongly promoted the adjustment of the agricultural variety structure in the province, promoted the application of excellent varieties in production, and can promote the production and application of thousands of excellent varieties every year.

In the light of the actual situation of the popularization of improved agricultural varieties in our province, the Provincial Agricultural Department constantly innovated the forms of extension, and successively built demonstration bases of improved agricultural varieties in Maoming City and Boluo County. then, in many places, the improved agricultural varieties suitable for local cultivation were introduced for demonstration and display, which increased the efforts to popularize the improved agricultural varieties, and gradually formed the provincial agricultural technology extension station as the center. The province-wide demonstration and extension network of improved varieties based on agricultural departments and technology extension departments at all levels. The Provincial Agriculture Department also takes the Guangdong seed Fair as the leader to guide and support Maoming, Foshan, Guangzhou, Qingyuan, Heyuan, Boluo, Yangjiang, Wuchuan and other places to actively carry out regional and targeted demonstration activities of improved agricultural varieties, effectively promoting the development of modern and efficient agriculture with the province's modern characteristics.

The annual competition of thousands of varieties at the seed Expo brings rich seed resources to the breeders in our province and the whole country, provides a diversified development direction of seed selection, and promotes the healthy development of the seed industry in Guangdong. so that the seed industry chain has been a strong extension.
