走进“南繁硅谷”看向“种”图强 海南自贸港封关运作为种业振兴注入新动能

Core Viewpoint - Hainan is actively seeking optimal solutions for the revitalization of its seed industry, leveraging its unique geographical advantages and the operational framework of the Hainan Free Trade Port to enhance the potential of its agricultural seeds [1][3]. Group 1: Agricultural Advantages - Hainan's geographical location at 18 degrees north provides abundant sunlight, suitable temperatures, and ample rainfall, making it a "natural greenhouse" for crop growth [3]. - The region is accelerating the cultivation and development of new productive forces in the seed industry, utilizing its temperature advantages to allow crops to be bred one to two additional seasons [5]. Group 2: Technological Innovations - Technological innovations are pressing the "accelerator" for crop breeding, with the time required to develop new varieties reduced from 5-7 years to an expected 2-3 years due to the use of electronic accelerators for seed mutation [5]. - The introduction of international top-tier germplasm resources and research teams is anticipated to enhance the seed industry, alongside encouraging local enterprises to enter international markets [7]. Group 3: International Cooperation and Resource Management - A global plant and animal germplasm resource import and transit base is being established in the Moon Island of the Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City to facilitate the import and export of germplasm resources [9]. - Since 2018, approximately 1,030 batches of germplasm resources have been imported, with specific measures in place to facilitate the importation process unique to the Hainan Free Trade Port [9]. Group 4: Research and Development Enhancements - The implementation of new policies has significantly improved the survival rate of specific purpose seedlings during quarantine, increasing it to over 95% [11]. - The Hainan Free Trade Port is accelerating the gathering of research institutions, capital, and talent resources, with over 2,800 innovative seed enterprises now established in the Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City [13][15]. Group 5: Industry Upgrades and Opportunities - The integration of seed innovation, talent gathering, and the establishment of technology-driven seed companies is expected to drive the upgrade of the entire seed industry chain [19]. - The collaboration with international scientists and the application of advanced research equipment are anticipated to foster effective research cooperation and develop new technologies beneficial to agriculture, particularly in Africa [13].
