Rapeseed is not the only crop being used to test how agricultural expertise developed in the demonstration base can adapt to conditions in SCO countries.

　　In Kyrgyzstan's Chui region, where high elevation, drought and relatively poor soil conditions have long hampered apple production, Yangling Modern Agriculture International Cooperation Co and Baoji Haisheng Modern Agriculture Co jointly established a 3.3-hectare apple demonstration orchard using standardized cultivation practices in May 2025. After more than a year of intensive management, the trees are growing well and have started to produce young fruit.

　　"We hope to introduce high-quality new domestic apple varieties to Kyrgyzstan so that the local people can enjoy apples that are crisp and sweet," said Wang Xiaoqing, assistant general manager of Baoji Haisheng.

　　The company has introduced cold-resistant, drought-tolerant and poor-soil-tolerant rootstocks developed by a team at China Agricultural University, and paired these with high-quality cultivars in order to develop a diverse planting system suited to local conditions.

　　Wang Zhigao, director of the Park Services Center of Yangling Modern Agriculture International Cooperation Co, said that future projects include exporting advanced planting equipment. Large-scale growers from Kyrgyzstan will also be regularly invited to China to study agricultural techniques.

　　These projects are part of Yangling's broader effort to promote agricultural exchanges and cooperation among SCO countries.

　　Since the agricultural demonstration base was launched in October 2020, it has established 11 agricultural science and technology parks in countries including Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, with more than 110 technology demonstration projects conducted jointly, local authorities said.
