BEIJING (Reuters) - China s agriculture ministry on Tuesday said it had called for a nationwide crackdown on the production and sale of counterfeit, low-quality seeds as the government makes the seed sector a pillar of its food security push.
Rice-producing regions in southern China should strictly control seed quality, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said in a statement, adding that Beijing and Shanghai, as well as the provinces of Guangdong and Shandong, should focus on inspecting imported seeds.
The ministry said it had issued a notice calling for a nationwide seed inspection on Monday.
China s seed sector was given top priority in a major policy document released last month, as the agriculture ministry - led since December by minister Tang Renjian - steps up efforts to ensure food security for its 1.4 billion population.
