Seed industry is a national strategic and basic core industry. The contribution rate of improved breeds of livestock and poultry to the development of animal husbandry is more than 40%, which is an important embodiment of improving the core competitiveness of animal husbandry. General Secretary Xi stressed that a seed can change a world and a technology can create a miracle. We should make up our mind to develop the national seed industry and really exert science and technology on agriculture. Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that we have the largest population, the largest scale of agriculture and the richest seed resources in the world, so we should also have the most advanced agricultural technology and the most competitive modern breeding industry in the world.
