In strict accordance with the principle of treating both symptoms and root causes, the seed market should be regulated from the source

Article 55 of the new Seed Law stipulates: "The competent departments of agriculture and forestry under the people's governments at or above the provincial level shall publish information on variety approval, variety registration, new variety protection, seed production and operation licensing, supervision and administration on a unified government information release platform." According to the requirements of the new law, the Ministry of Agriculture will establish a national unified seed industry information platform, so that from the Ministry of Agriculture to the provincial, municipal and county levels all business information related to seed management is connected and shared, that is, variety approval, variety registration, new variety protection, seed production and operation license, and related records are applied online, seed market supervision information is open to the Internet, and the relevant information of the seed industry is open to query. At the same time, combined with standardized label management, with the help of seed industry information platform, the whole seed can be traced. In order to facilitate supervision work and farmers' online inquiries, mobile phone apps will also be developed so that all sectors of society can query relevant information about the seed industry in a more timely and convenient manner.

Through the establishment of the seed industry information platform, we strive to standardize the main behaviors of all parties involved in seed production and operation from the source, eliminate the original source, purify the seed market environment, let the illegal production and operation of fake and inferior seeds be supervised by the whole society, let the seed administrative permission and market supervision operate in the sunshine, and finally improve the management level of seed management according to law.
