Sanya, a major location of the National South China Seed Breeding Base, is embracing new chances for development as the local agricultural authorities have decided to cultivate a "Silicon Valley" of seed breeding to serve the whole nation, Hainan Daily reported.
The National South China Seed Breeding Base will cover 6,666 hectares while another 1,000 hectares will be open as a core area for scientific research. The seed breeding "Silicon Valley", to be built with advanced standards, will combine scientific research, production, sales, scientific and technological achievement transformation and exchanges, with a prime goal to guarantee national food security.

The plan also includes launching more scientific service platforms and more local breeding enterprises and training of international talent personnel.
Well-established enterprises are encouraged to settle in Sanya, and international cooperation will be carried out.
