From 8 to 10 October, the CAAS Anyang Comprehensive Innovation Base, together with the Anyang Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, held a symposium on the "One County, One Industry, One Institute" model. Heads of agriculture bureaus and leading agribusinesses from all districts and counties of Anyang took part in one-to-one matching sessions.

Each county reported its progress and its scientific needs. Enterprises raised practical requests on technical bottlenecks, talent shortages and processing problems, and expressed willingness to cooperate on joint R&D, pilot testing of results, and on-site expert support.

Fang Song, Deputy Director of CRI and Executive Deputy Director of the base, outlined four tasks: build a technical-assistance list; turn resources, needs and projects into three matching lists; send researchers to counties; and run pilot demonstrations of CAAS varieties locally.

The base will give priority to leading industries and leading enterprises, develop a main industry for each county, and move "one county, one industry" towards scientific, green, quality and branded agriculture, so as to raise the value of agriculture and farmers' incomes.
