One of the selection directions in China includes the development of winter and oilseed rape varieties in addition to other agricultural crops. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture is actively working on removing counterfeit seeds from the market.
Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China announced the registration of new varieties of minor agricultural crops. Specialists have registered and released 1254 unique varieties to meet the industry's needs and address urgent production tasks. At the same time, the Ministry revoked 313 counterfeit varieties, gradually improving the variety registration system, as reported by the National Center for Agricultural Technology Promotion of China.
As part of the strategy for developing large-scale agriculture and ensuring food security, as well as to support rural industrial sectors and meet the growing demand for goods, China has registered 29 crops in seven categories. They include cereals, oilseeds, sugar crops, vegetables, fruit trees, tea shrubs, and rubber plants.
In response to production needs, the Ministry of Agriculture of China has introduced a new batch of high-quality rapeseed varieties specifically for production. This batch includes 7 winter rapeseed varieties with a short growing period (just 180 days) and 37 high-oil varieties (oil content ≥48%). Currently, the share of registered high-oil content varieties accounts for 23% of all registered varieties.
Among the newly registered varieties are also 25 different crops, such as potatoes for processing, brewing sorghum, peanuts with high oleic acid content, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, gift watermelons, netted melons, and grapes.
At the same time, the government is actively restoring the seed sector. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China continues to combat counterfeit seeds.
The term "counterfeit seeds" refers to varieties that are slightly modified and improved compared to the original variety or its parents. Such varieties do not have significant differences, which disrupts the market order and harms independent innovations and original developments in the seed industry. Hundreds of counterfeit varieties have already been recalled in the past.
Most recently, 313 counterfeit seed varieties, such as tomatoes, peppers, and cabbage, were recalled. Now, clearing fake seeds has become a standard practice that not only supports and protects market order but also promotes fair competition and enhances the confidence and determination of breeding units and enterprises to invest in research and development.
The Ministry of Agriculture of China has stated its intention to continue fighting counterfeit seeds, improve the tracking, evaluation, examination, and promotion of registered varieties, accelerate the adoption of high-quality varieties, and review the methods of their registration. DNA verification will be used to eliminate the possibility of registering counterfeits.
