■ Brief news

Heilongjiang promotes plasma seed treatment technology

H
ha.
eilongjiang made great progress in the promotion of plasma seed treatment technology in 2010. 630 sets of
plasma seed treatment technology equipment were sold in 2010 and the demonstration area hit 0.67 million

As one of the "863" agricultural development projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the promotion
for this technology was started in 2006. After the treatment, seed vigor and pest resistance increase, and the
growing of seed is also promoted. More importantly, the crop output can increase by 10% after treated by this
technology, according to Heilongjiang Agricultural Machine Extension Station.

Henan Goldoctor develops fast

T he application of Henan Goldoctor Seeds Co., Ltd. (Henan Goldoctor) for getting listed in A-share market was
denied by China Securities Regulatory Commission in 2011, but the company has achieved sound development
in recent years.

The company is one of the five legal companies to produce and market Zhengdan 958, and its revenue hit USD53.03
million and profit hit USD6.06 million in 2010. It has set 15 branches in 11 provinces throughout the country.

The main product for the company is Zhengdan 958. This corn seed performed well even under the adverse
weather in 2010. Besides, the company was also promoting other 13 corn seed varieties such as Liyu 37 to reduce its
dependence on Zhengdan 958. It has also been actively enhancing its business in rice seed, wheat seed, etc., and all
these businesses achieved faster progress than corn seed business.

IRRI to set branch in Shenzhen

D r. Robert S. Zeigler, director general of International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), visited Shenzhen on 25
and 26 Nov. 2010 to discuss matters related to setting a research branch in Shenzhen.

On 2 Oct. 2010, Shenzhen government and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) signed an
cooperation agreement on the development of biotechnology breeding. On 12 Nov. 2010, CAAS applied to IRRI to
set a search branch in Shenzhen and its application was approved by IRRI.

"Although agriculture accounts only a small portion of Shenzhen's GDP, close attention still needs to be paid to
agriculture technology in order to become the biotechnology breeding center in China" says Mr. Yuan, deputy mayor
of Shenzhen.

Koshihikari expands quickly in China

K oshihikari, a Japanese rice variety with excellent grain qualities, expands quickly in China. The rice variety is
mainly planted in Northeast China and Jiangsu Province in China. In 2010, the variety was introduced to De'an
County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. The planting area of Koshihikari in De'an was about 3.33 ha. with the yield



of 8.50 tonnes. Growers reveal that they plan to plant the variety in 2011 as the price of the rice from the variety is much
higher than other rice varieties in the region.

Commercialization of GM corn and GM rice not settled

" Although China has issued safety certificates to two GM rice variety and a GM corn variety, the exact time for
commercialization of GM corn and GM rice is not settled" says Mr. Luo, dean of College of Food Science &
Nutritional Engineering, China Agricultural University, on an agricultural bio-technology and food security meeting.

China is the first country in the world to have issued safety certificates to staple crops such as rice. However, according
to China's stipulations, the safety certificate, based on fair safety evaluation, doesn't mean GM rice and GM corn could
be commercially planted, which requires production trials and registration.

Fujian Province bans GM rice sales

F ujian government released a notice in early Dec. 2010 to ban the planting, processing and marketing of GM rice
in the province. However, the notice was withdrawn only a few days after released. Fujian government said that
too much attention that attached to this notice pushed it to withdraw it. It refused to release any other details.

Although the planting and marketing of GM rice have not been approved in China yet, Green Peace found that GM
rice products and GM rice seed were marketed in nine provinces (including Fujian) in China, according to a survey
conducted by Green Peace on April 2010.

"Monsanto Green Village" launched in Jilin

M onsanto donated USD200,000 to launch the "Monsanto Green Village" in Jilin in late 2010, which is the
company's second project in China after the first in Hebei Province in 2008.

The program aims to educate farmers agricultural technology and boost recycling notion in the countryside. "Via
implementation of the Monsanto green village program, we hope to support more farmers and advance agricultural
development in China" says Mr. Eblen from Monsanto.

Besides, Monsanto also plans to develop crops varieties in the region. Northeast China (include Jilin), is the
most important corn growing region in China, but Monsanto's domestic corn seed business is mainly focused on
Southwest China at present.

Coverage ratio of improved seeds exceeds 95%

T he vice Minister Zhang Taolin of the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) stated on 30 Nov. 2010 that China
witnessed a much higher breeding level of agricultural crop varieties, with a number of newly developed
varieties like super rice, compact corn and quality wheat. And the coverage ratio of improved seeds raised up to
over 95%.

According to MOA statistics, the proportion of commercial seed supply has increased from 30% in mid 1990s to
60% at present, and that of both hybrid corn and rice has reached 100%. And they are all beautifully packaged
and labeled for sale. Thanks to greatly improved quality of seeds, there are less lawsuits caused by seed quality
problems. The qualified rates of hybrid rice and corn have reached over 95%.

China founds Seed Intellectual Property Rights Alliance

U nder the initiative of the Ministry of Agriculture, China officially established the "China Seed Intellectual
Property Rights Alliance" in Beijing on Nov. 30 2010 in a bid to strengthen the protection for intellectual
property rights in the seed industry.

The purpose of the Alliance is to carry out IPR transfer, cross licensing and coordinate application through multiple
cooperation approaches, such as resource co-sharing, collaborative action and self-disciplined mutual assistance,
etc.



Longping High-tech leads Sino-Indonesia joint hybrid rice program

Y uan Longping Agricultural Hi-tech Co., Ltd. (Longping Hi-tech), a leading rice seed company in China, leads
an Indonesia and China joint hybrid rice program. The aim of the grogram, launched on 29 Dec. 2010 with the
effective research period of 2010 to 2013, aims to develop best hybrid rice variety for Indonesia.

According to the program, Indonesia will send its agricultural scientists and officials to be trained in China in Longping
Hi-tech to develop hybrid rice varieties that adapted to the soil and natural condition for Indonesia.

Rice is a very important crop for Indonesia. The cooperation in hybrid rice research is expected to improve the average
rice production level in Indonesia, and will eventually help it achieve a rice self-supplied level in the country.
