Core Viewpoint - The establishment of a comprehensive CRO (Contract Research Organization) service system for the southern breeding industry in Hainan aims to enhance efficiency and reduce costs in agricultural research and seed production [2][3][4]. Group 1: CRO Service Model - The CRO model in Hainan allows for the professional outsourcing of various stages of the seed production process, enabling research institutions and companies to focus on breeding while delegating tasks such as land selection and planting to specialized third-party companies [2][3]. - Since the introduction of the CRO model in 2021, Hainan has developed a mature system that supports high-quality development in the southern breeding industry, facilitating a full range of mechanized services from seedling to harvest [1][2]. Group 2: Cost and Efficiency Improvements - The implementation of the CRO model has significantly reduced the costs associated with sugarcane breeding, from approximately 300,000 to under 100,000 yuan, while also shortening the breeding cycle [3][4]. - The CRO services have improved the efficiency of breeding operations by allowing researchers to concentrate on scientific work rather than logistical tasks [4]. Group 3: Regulatory and Institutional Support - Hainan's provincial management bureau has recognized 20 CRO entities, providing institutional support and policy subsidies to foster the growth of the southern breeding industry [5][6]. - The province is also developing a digital platform for southern breeding services and establishing service stations to enhance the standardization and management of CRO services [6][7]. Group 4: Industry Growth and Talent Acquisition - The demand for CRO services is increasing as more research institutions and enterprises gather in Hainan, with plans to revise recognition criteria to accommodate varying business scales and technical levels [7]. - Hainan has attracted numerous high-level talents and established multiple breeding research platforms, contributing to the growth of the southern breeding industry and its related enterprises [7].
