Across the vast landscape of northern Kazakhstan, rows of rapeseed plants thrive. The seeds of the plants traveled more than 3,000 kilometers from Yangling in Shaanxi province to reach these fields.

　　The crop was grown from seeds supplied by an agricultural company based at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Demonstration Base for Agricultural Technology Exchange and Training, an agricultural high-tech hub in Yangling.

　　The company has been working to grow high-quality crop varieties and test their adaptability in different environments, with the aim of bringing Chinese agricultural technologies and varieties to overseas markets.

　　Last year, trials of the rapeseed variety started in Kazakhstan. The results showed that its yield was 32 percent to 51 percent higher than that of traditional local varieties, according to the company.

　　The variety also performed well in terms of key quality indicators, including thousand-kernel weight and protein content, and showed strong adaptability to Kazakhstan's high-latitude and drought-prone conditions, as well as its large temperature swings.

　　Li Yiya, the company's general manager, said the successful introduction of the variety marked the first commercial-scale introduction of rapeseed from Shaanxi province into Kazakhstan and diversified the local supply of high-quality seed varieties.

　　With the production license for import and export of its crop seeds approved, the company has established an integrated operation spanning variety selection, overseas trials, seed production under standardized practices and large-scale exports.

　　The company plans to expand its presence in major markets across Russia and Central Asia, aiming to secure a 10 percent share of the regional commercial rapeseed market within the next three to five years, Li said.
