中外研究人员齐聚北京,聚焦中巴农业合作持续深化,强调双边合作关系对于扩大玉米种植规模、开展种子技术创新、发展跨境粮食贸易发挥关键作用。
本次交流活动于2026京津冀鲜食玉米产业发展大会期间举办,配套同期举行中外鲜食玉米技术交流与产业合作研讨会、第十二届北京鲜食玉米节,活动地点位于北京市通州区。
议定书打通全新出口通道
巴基斯坦古吉拉特大学理学院院长、植物学系主任奥迪勒·拉希德教授发表题为《巴基斯坦玉米产业的资源困境与民生发展》的主题演讲。他强调,加强与中国的技术合作与贸易往来,是巴基斯坦广大农户发展的重要出路。
据中国经济网报道,拉希德教授表示,随着双边正式贸易协定落地,中巴农业合作步入加速发展阶段。两国政府已签署植物检疫议定书,中国海关总署批准巴基斯坦玉米对华准入,巴基斯坦本土生产商由此获得合规渠道,进入庞大的中国市场。
他指出,巴基斯坦大田玉米产量规模可观;巴方可与中方科研机构成立合资项目,共同研发甜玉米、迷你玉米等高附加值鲜食玉米品种,以此提高农户收入、改善农村民生。
推进种子技术与种质资源研究
北京市农林科学院玉米研究所资深研究员陆佰山介绍中国近期农作物科研成果,并作《鲜食玉米技术创新与新品种选育》主题报告。
陆佰山展示了优良种质筛选、作物抗逆培育、采后品质保鲜等技术创新如何助力玉米高产种植。他表示,中方科研机构愿持续与巴基斯坦等国际伙伴开展技术交流,共享现代化育种方案、抗逆作物品种,助力区域农业可持续发展。
大会着重提出,随着市场准入正式落地、联合科研项目不断拓展,中巴玉米领域合作已成为中巴经济走廊(CPEC)农业合作规划中的重要支柱。
Highlighting the deepening agricultural cooperation between China and Pakistan, foreign and Chinese researchers gathered in Beijing stressed the pivotal role of bilateral partnerships in expanding corn production, seed technological innovation, and cross-border grain trade.
The exchange took place during the 2026 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Fresh Edible Corn Industry Development Conference, held alongside the Sino-Foreign Fresh Edible Corn Technical Exchange and Industrial Cooperation Seminar and the 12th Beijing Fresh Edible Corn Festival in Tongzhou District, Beijing.
Protocol Opens New Avenues for Export
Delivering a presentation titled “Resource Dilemma and Livelihood Evolution of Pakistan’s Maize Industry,” Prof. Audil Rashid Dean of Science and Chairperson of Department of Botany at the University of Gujrat, Pakistan, emphasized that expanding technical and trade linkages with China offers a vital path forward for rural farmers.
Prof. Rashid noted that the bilateral agricultural relationship has entered an accelerated phase following the execution of the official trade agreement. With both governments having signed the phytosanitary protocol and Chinese customs (GACC) granting access for Pakistani corn shipments local producers now possess a clear regulatory gateway to supply the vast Chinese market, CEN reported.
He highlighted that while Pakistan maintains substantial production capacity in field maize, joint ventures with Chinese institutes in high-value fresh edible varieties such as sweet and baby corn can enhance farm income and rural livelihoods.
Advancing Seed Tech & Germplasm Research
Outlining China’s recent breakthroughs in crop research, Lu Baishan, senior researcher at the Maize Research Institute under the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences (BAAFS), presented on “Fresh Edible Corn Technological Innovation and New Variety Breeding.”
Lu showcased how innovations in elite germplasm selection, stress resilience, and post-harvest quality retention are driving high-yield production. He affirmed that Chinese scientific institutions remain committed to exchanging technical expertise, modern breeding protocols, and resilient crop varieties with international partners like Pakistan to support sustainable regional agriculture.
The conference underlined that with official market clearance in place and joint research initiatives expanding, China-Pakistan corn cooperation stands as a key anchor of the agricultural agenda under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework.
