The ″smart seed production″ platform will enable digitalization of the whole process of seed breeding. As a result, the selection will become more scientific, and purchase order management will become more systematic. Breeding will become more standardized, warehousing management more digitalized, and data becomes more valuable. The data-based operation will accelerate the launches of new varieties and ensure continuous seed breeding optimization. 


Innovative and patented technologies will improve sustainability. The circulative fumigation technology shortens the fumigation time by five to seven days and makes fumigation safer. The exhaust gas treatment contributes to green development, and automation increases the processing efficiency by ten times and reduces labor input by 90%.
