China has made significant investments and progress in agricultural biotechnology research and development. Some key points: - Agro-biotechnology R&D was established as a national priority program in China's 5-year plans beginning in 2001 to develop novel crop varieties and ensure food security. - Achievements include completing genome sequencing of major crops, developing stress-resistant and high-yielding crop varieties through biotechnology, and establishing a biofertilizer and biopesticide industry. - China's strategy is to enhance innovation in functional genomics, molecular design, bioproduct development, and biotransformation to create crops with higher yields, quality, and stress resistance to meet food demand.
