种子是农业林业最基本的生产资料,也是农业科技水平提高最重要的载体,对粮食增产、农民增收、农业现代化具有重要意义。但随着我国改革开放的不断深入,种业的发展和国内外种业竞争进一步加剧,我国种业出现了一些新情况、新问题,迫切需要通过法律加以规范和调整。 Seeds are the most basic means of production for agriculture and forestry, and they are also the most important carriers for raising the level of science and technology in agriculture. They are of great significance for increasing grain output, increasing peasants’ income and agricultural modernization. However, with the continuous deepening of China’s reform and opening up, the development of the seed industry and the competition in the seed industry at home and abroad have further intensified. Some new situations and new problems have emerged in the seed industry in our country, which urgently need to be regulated and adjusted through laws.
