how to understand the contents about agriculture in Hainan free trade port scheme?
from the objective conditions, Hainan is the only tropical province in China, which can carry out agricultural production all year round, and the varieties of crops suitable for planting are also extensive and diverse. On the other hand, Hainan is one of the few areas in China and even in the world that have not suffered from industrial pollution. The high-quality ecological environment provides conditions for Hainan to develop green agriculture and organic agriculture that meet international standards. In addition, Hainan is surrounded by the sea and has a natural barrier, which can effectively prevent the entry and spread of various animal and plant diseases.
subjectively, Hainan has accumulated rich experience in the production, transportation and marketing of off-season melons and vegetables and tropical fruits, and the degree of agricultural commercialization has been continuously improved. Moreover, the construction of local animal epidemic-free areas since 1999 is expected to turn Hainan into an animal husbandry export base with the best domestic conditions and in line with international animal food production standards, and also lay a good foundation for the construction of a transit base for the introduction of global animal and plant germplasm resources.
In fact, in December 218, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the Implementation Plan for the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to Implement the Guiding Opinions of the Central Committee of the State Council on Supporting Hainan's Comprehensive Deepening of Reform and Opening-up (hereinafter referred to as the "Deepening Reform Implementation Plan"), which is promoting the construction of "Nanfan Silicon Valley", the national tropical agricultural science center, the national tropical modern agricultural base and the development and protection leading area of fishery resources in the South China Sea.
This includes: coordinating and promoting the construction of all the designated 1.5 million mu of rice production functional areas (including 268, mu of south breeding base) into high-standard farmland; Support Hainan to build Nanfan Science and Technology City; Promote the construction of the State Key Laboratory of Southern Breeding and the technical service platform of Nanfan Science and Technology Corporation; Support the introduction, transit, development and utilization of tropical and subtropical animal and plant germplasm resources in Hainan Province; Give Hainan Province greater import approval authority for crop germplasm resources.
in promoting the construction of a national tropical agricultural science center, the plan includes exploring the establishment of an international tropical agricultural science and technology cooperation organization, focusing on Southeast Asia, Africa, South Pacific island countries, Latin America and other "Belt and Road" related regions, and strengthening cooperation in research, development and promotion of overseas ecological adaptation technologies for tropical agriculture.
Zhao yongwang, deputy director of the department of agriculture and rural affairs of Hainan province, once said that the 14 measures in the plan, including the national Nanfan Scientific and Research Breeding Base, the national tropical agricultural science center and the global transfer base for introducing animal and plant germplasm resources, have been included in the pilot projects by the Hainan provincial party Committee and the provincial government.
Zhu Zengyong, an associate researcher at Beijing Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told the First Financial Reporter that both introduction and transit need to be isolated in order to prevent the spread of exotic livestock and poultry diseases. At present, the domestic practice is to isolate them from where they enter the customs, and local customs and inspection and quarantine units are responsible for the isolation and quarantine work. In a relatively scattered situation, the risk of epidemic spread is higher. This is the significance of establishing an introduction and transit base for animal and plant germplasm resources in Hainan.
It is expected that the implementation of this scheme will bring benefits to the practitioners engaged in crop breeding, introduction of animal and plant germplasm resources, transit trading, isolation and quarantine, reserve protection and intellectual property trading.
