Sells hybrid corn seed through regional distribution ventures in China, combining proprietary germplasm with licensed varieties and research partnerships. Revenue is centered on seed sales, while trait licensing, gene editing, and genetically modified corn programs depend on regulatory approval and commercialization.
Breeds, processes, and distributes hybrid corn seed in China, centered on self-developed Aoyu and Liyu varieties alongside licensed hybrids. Research combines internal germplasm, marker-assisted and doubled-haploid breeding, genetic engineering, and collaborations with public institutes and seed partners.
Operates from Beijing R&D facilities, Hainan winter-breeding programs, Xinjiang production and processing, and regional distribution joint ventures across corn-growing provinces. Most revenue comes from hybrid corn seed, though the company also pursues proprietary traits, gene editing, trait licensing, contract research, and nutritionally enhanced corn programs.
Consolidates core seed development, marketing, and sales through contractual arrangements with a variable-interest entity because PRC foreign-ownership restrictions cover these activities. Commercialization of genetically modified traits requires staged testing, biosafety certification, and commercial-variety approvals.
