The agronomic term "seed reservation" was officially defined in 1993. In 1989, the State Council approved the establishment of a national seed reserve system. Article 6 of the Seed Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that provincial-level and higher governments shall establish seed reserve systems, primarily to address production needs during disasters and regulate supply-demand imbalances, thereby ensuring the security of agricultural and forestry production. The seed reserve system also serves as an effective mechanism for stabilizing seed market prices, playing a crucial role in safeguarding agricultural security.
As a major agricultural producer and seed consumer, China's crop seed industry constitutes a strategic and fundamental pillar of national development, forming the cornerstone for long-term agricultural stability and food security. In recent years, remarkable progress has been achieved in China's seed sector, with continuous innovation breakthroughs enabling full coverage of improved varieties for major crops. The current seed reserve system ensures adequate supply for most crop seeds, effectively fulfilling requirements for secure storage, timely deployment, and practical utilization.
CnOpenData presents China's Seed Reserve Data through four distinct datasets: Seed Reserve Information Table, Seed Reserve Variety Registration and Approval Information Table, Seed Reserve Variety Rights Announcement Information Table, and Seed Reserve Storage Enterprise License Information Table. These datasets encompass critical fields including Crop Name (作物名称), Variety Name (品种名称), Application Number (申请号), Application Date (申请日), Applicant (申请人), Application Status (申请状态), Announcement Date (申请公告日), and Authorization Number (授权号), offering significant research value for studies on Chinese agricultural issues.
