Tian Shaoqing, a member of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Party, suggested promoting the high-quality development of Hainan’s tropical characteristic high-efficiency agriculture.

China News Service, Haikou, September 22 (Zhang Yuehe) "Promote the high-quality development of efficient agriculture with tropical characteristics through the empowerment of science and technology." At the 2026 "15th Five-Year-Concentrated Free Trade Port" Fourth Salon and the National Revolutionary Zhongshan Hall Event held in Haikou on the 21st, Tian Shaoqing, a member of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Party who has long been concerned about the development of efficient agriculture with tropical characteristics in Hainan and deputy director of the Department of Rural Governance of Hainan University, suggested this based on his own practical research.

High-efficiency agriculture with tropical characteristics is Hainan’s trump card. After the customs closure, "zero tariffs" have reduced production costs, and "tariff-free processing for value-added processing" has created huge advantages for the intensive processing of agricultural products. However, in practice, Tian Shaoqing found that the development of Hainan's agricultural industry has outstanding problems such as difficulty in transforming results, lack of information services, and unrealized brand value.

In Hainan, Nanfan Silicon Valley has gathered more than 2,800 companies, and the annual output value of the seed industry has exceeded 20 billion yuan. The AI ​​breeding model has compressed the traditional breeding cycle to 3 to 5 years. Its technical strength cannot be underestimated. However, scientific research is disconnected from the industrial chain, and the results “cannot leave the laboratory or enter the production line.”

Tian Shaoqing suggested that a supply chain-oriented "unveiling the list" mechanism be implemented to form a closed loop of "enterprises setting questions, institutions answering questions, market evaluation, and benefit feedback". At the same time, we should vigorously cultivate new CRO formats in the southern seed industry and revitalize breeding technology resources.

At present, Hainan has not yet formed a market-oriented agricultural information service ecosystem. However, Hainan is promoting the construction of an international tropical agricultural product trading center and auction center, using various methods such as spot auctions and order auctions to solve the pain point of asymmetric transaction information and enhance Hainan's voice in pricing of agricultural products.

In this regard, Tian Shaoqing proposed to accelerate the construction of a cross-border tropical agricultural information service ecosystem and make data a "new agricultural input" for agricultural development.

Hainan is now accelerating the creation of regional public brands such as "Hainan Fresh Products". Faced with problems such as brands being "in name only" and geographical indication products being "marketable but priceless", Tian Shaoqing believes that it is necessary to establish a brand path of "going high-end, going online, and going international" and build a brand promotion channel based on fresh cold chain logistics, so that golden signs such as "Qiaotou Sweet Potato" and "Sanya Mango" can truly transform into market competitiveness.

"Industrial integration is the most practical driving force for development." Standing at the new starting point of the "15th Five-Year Plan", Tian Shaoqing said that it is necessary to activate industrial vitality with technological empowerment and accelerate the development of Hainan's tropical characteristic and efficient agricultural industry.
