According to Anhui Business Daily, on October 17, the Shenzhou 11 manned spacecraft was successfully launched in Jiuquan. The Hericium and Ganoderma lucidum strains from Jinzhai County of our province were taken by astronauts to space breeding . Prior to this, when the Shenzhou 10 spacecraft launched in 2013, it carried 200 grams of wheat seeds and 100 grams of soybean seeds selected and sent by Fuyang City, and 8 kinds of Chinese medicinal seeds selected and sent by Bozhou City, including Cassia, Atractylodes, Radix Isatidis, Shegan, Prunella vulgaris, peony, danshen, and platycodon have also successfully returned to space after carrying the Long March 7 carrier rocket. Since the Ninth Provincial Party Congress, all parts of the province have made great efforts to plan projects with strong driving force, high technology content and in line with the development direction of modern agriculture, and with leading enterprises as the core, speed up the optimization of factor aggregation and promote the integrated development of rural industries .

At present, whether it is a new ecological farming model, Internet of Things applications, or space breeding, new organic fertilizers, the shadow of leading companies is inseparable. Experts pointed out that the more developed modern agriculture is, the more it has the characteristics of capital and technology intensive, and it is necessary to rely on stronger leading enterprises to conduct scientific research, technology transformation, and popularization and application. Not long ago, the new breed of laying hen "Fengda No. 1", jointly bred by Anhui Rongda Poultry Industry Co., Ltd. and Anhui Agricultural University, was approved by the National Animal and Poultry Genetic Resources Committee. This is the first new national-brand layer new breed successfully cultivated in our province since the founding of New China. "After 10 years of cultivation, there are more than 10 million eggs in the pilot test."

Introduced by the Provincial Agriculture Committee, leading enterprises are the core of promoting the integration of primary, secondary and tertiary industries and gathering resource elements to create new business formats. In recent years, our province has vigorously developed a modern agricultural industrialization complex to solve the problems of disconnection between agricultural production and processing and circulation, disconnection between agricultural product supply and demand, and disconnection between farmers and the market. At present, there are 6,207 large-scale agricultural products processing enterprises in the province. According to the plan, our province will strive to achieve the output value of agricultural products processing above designated size by 2020 at 1.25 trillion yuan, and there will be more than 50 agricultural products processing enterprises with main business income exceeding 2 billion yuan, driving the development of 3,000 consortia, and promoting the integrated development of rural industries. .
