Core Insights - In 2024, Guangdong Province's total agricultural output value reached 970.12 billion yuan, ranking among the top in the country, with significant production in fruits, vegetables, meat, and aquatic products [1] Group 1: Agricultural Mechanization - There is a pressing need to strengthen the manufacturing of small and medium-sized agricultural machinery in Guangdong to support agricultural mechanization [2][5] - Current challenges include a weak agricultural machinery manufacturing industry, a lack of well-known brands, and a limited number of manufacturing enterprises [5] - Recommendations include focusing on the development of small and medium-sized agricultural machinery tailored to local agricultural needs, such as power machinery and crop production equipment [5] Group 2: Marine Economy - Guangdong, as a major marine province, has the largest marine area in the country, and there is an urgent need to establish a "Guangdong Seafood" brand and strengthen marine ranching [6][9] - Emphasis on deep processing and market development is crucial for enhancing marine ranching, with a potential market expansion for high-quality fish species estimated at 500,000 tons [9] - Development of both nearshore and deep-sea species is recommended, including high-quality seed varieties like triploid oysters and tuna [9] Group 3: Biotechnology and Breeding - Guangdong is a leading province in agricultural resources and has made significant achievements in breeding, which is vital for national food security [10][13] - A full-chain approach is suggested to overcome key technological challenges in biotechnology, focusing on areas like gene editing and synthetic biology [13] - Collaboration among government, research institutions, and enterprises is encouraged to enhance innovation and international competitiveness in the seed industry [13]

Core Viewpoint - The establishment of a "Guangdong Seafood" brand and the strengthening of marine ranching is urgent and necessary for the development of the industry [2][3]. Industry Overview - Guangdong is a strong marine economy province, holding the top position in marine GDP for 30 consecutive years [4][5]. - The province has the longest mainland coastline in China, measuring 4,114 kilometers [5]. Strategic Recommendations - It is suggested to upgrade the entire industrial chain and implement plans for billion-level industrial clusters, including triploid oysters, tuna, and other species [6][7]. - The development of new business models such as "fishing-tourism integration" and the establishment of a pre-prepared seafood product industry park are recommended [7][8]. Brand Development - Emphasis on brand cultivation to create a public brand for "Guangdong Seafood" and to nurture leading enterprises across the entire supply chain [9][10]. Market Expansion - Market expansion is crucial, with a focus on deep processing systems and market development [12]. - The market for high-quality fish species, such as Atlantic salmon and grouper, is currently around 200,000 to 300,000 tons, with potential growth to 500,000 tons [13][14]. Innovation and Standards - There is a need to prioritize the development of deep-sea leading species and high-quality seedlings, as well as to establish an innovation platform for deep cooperation among government, industry, academia, and research [15][16]. - A standardized system should be constructed for various aspects of aquaculture equipment design, manufacturing, installation, and inspection [16]. Top-Level Design - The proposal includes promoting "multi-regulation integration" to prioritize marine ranching construction needs in land spatial planning [17][18]. Competitive Advantages - Guangdong possesses first-mover advantages in climate, market, and industrial foundation [19]. - The establishment of marine ranching models based on examples from Guangzhou Ocean Laboratory and other national demonstration areas is suggested to provide a "Guangdong solution" for the country [20][21]. Talent and Investment - Strengthening talent cultivation and capital investment is essential, along with transitioning marine ranching from a "public welfare" nature to an "ecological economic composite" model [22][23].
