On November 24, 2025, Changqing District, Jinan, was filled with warmth as the "Shandong-Gansu Collaboration for Mutual Benefit and Win-Win Results" exchange and matchmaking event was grandly inaugurated here. The event was jointly hosted by the Departments of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Shandong and Gansu provinces, as well as the Shandong Provincial Cooperation and Gansu Cadre Management Group. With the seven leading industries of "cattle, sheep, vegetables, fruits, herbs, grains, and seeds" as the core, it built a bridge of agricultural cooperation spanning thousands of miles.

As a national high-tech enterprise, a key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization in Shandong Province, a specialized, refined, unique, and innovative small and medium-sized enterprise in Shandong Province, and an innovative small and medium-sized enterprise in Shandong Province, Zhang Xiaoming, CEO of Shandong Seed Co., Ltd., participated in the meeting with core improved varieties, cutting-edge technologies, and full-chain service solutions, becoming a key force in promoting mutual empowerment and deep integration of the seed industry between the two regions, and jointly witnessing the integration and development of agriculture in Shandong and Gansu. The fertile land of Longyuan on the banks of the Yellow River and the agricultural resources of the Qilu region achieved precise docking at this matchmaking meeting.

During the conference, the promotion of high-quality agricultural resources in Gansu, the achievements in the development of the "Gansu Flavor" brand, and the interpretation of the plateau summer vegetable industry deeply demonstrated the fruitful cooperation between Shandong and Gansu in recent years. Through various forms such as physical displays, graphic introductions, and data comparisons, the conference comprehensively presented the agricultural endowments of the Longyuan region. The diverse geographical and climatic conditions in Gansu gave birth to a concentrated display of characteristic agricultural products, highlighting the core characteristics of Gansu agricultural products as green, organic, and ecological, allowing the participating guests to intuitively feel the industrial confidence that "precious treasures come from the fertile land of Longyuan". These high-quality resources are not only the "golden business card" of Gansu's agriculture, but also an important foundation for cooperation between Shandong and Gansu, providing a vast space for Shandong enterprises to participate in the development of agricultural industrialization in Gansu.

Shandong Seed Co., Ltd. leverages the complementarity of agricultural resources between Shandong and Gansu, with a focus on the development needs and cooperation of the vegetable seed industry in Gansu. It concentrates on three core directions: "variety exchange, technology export, and chain extension", addressing the bottlenecks in industrial development of the two regions. Gansu's unique geographical conditions are highly compatible with the company's resources of onion, green onion, and cruciferous vegetable seed products. In the future, both parties will deepen the collaboration of industry, academia, and research to help improve the quality and efficiency of Gansu's seed industry.

This matchmaking event has built a bridge for agricultural cooperation between Shandong and Gansu, resulting in a series of cooperation intentions. Behind it lies the aspiration of Gansu farmers for increased income, as well as the shared responsibility of both provinces to jointly promote rural revitalization. Shandong Seed Co., Ltd. will take this event as an opportunity to fulfill the mission of collaboration between the eastern and western regions, promote the two-way flow of high-quality seed industry resources, and inject momentum into the win-win cooperation between Shandong and Gansu in the seed industry.
