This paper analyzed the current status,key links of concern for crop seed market management in Wuhu City,Anhui Province,and proposed corresponding strategies.The study area mainly produces and operates seeds of conventional rice,Chinese milk vetch,vegetables,etc.The self-sufficiency rate of seeds for crops such as wheat and rapeseed is relatively low,while seeds of maize,cotton,and soybean are dependent on external supply.In addition,seed production and operation enterprises are generally small in scale.Current seed market management faces certain challenges in terms of regional coordination,market order,governance system,and information sharing.In response to these links,the following optimization paths are proposed:strengthen cross-regional coordination mechanisms,promote mutual recognition of varieties in the same suitable ecological zones and joint assurance of quality seeds;establish special guiding funds for seed industry development to support breeding innovation,improve the intellectual property protection system for the seed industry,and advance integrated and routine online-offline supervision,so as to optimize the seed market environment;give play to the professional service role of industry organizations,build an interest-linked community of"enterprises+bases+farmers",and improve community-level grid-based supervision,so as to improve the multi-stakeholder co-governance system;build a public data platform for the seed industry,accurately match supply and demand information,and strengthen scenario-based applications of digital technology in supervision and services.This paper provides practical references for optimizing seed market management systems in similar regions.
