Submissions remain open. Please click here to participate. From today, Jinyun New Media Group will display the best entries, allowing more people hear Tianjin’s achievements in the Belt and Road Initiative partner countries and witness an era of joint construction and shared benefits.  

初冬的天津，在西青区花椰菜成果转化基地，国家花椰菜育种首席科学家、市农科院蔬菜所研究员孙德岭和来自巴基斯坦旁遮普省的农户穆罕默德·优素福·伊姆兰一起蹲在田间地头，仔细察看选育出的花椰菜新品种。这一场跨越4000公里的会面，缘起于十年前。

As northern China enters the early days of winter, in the cauliflower achievement transformation base in Xiqing District, Tianjin, China’s national chief scientist in cauliflower breeding, research fellow at the Institute of Vegetables, Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Sun Deling, squats shoulder-to-shoulder in the field with Muhammad Yousaf Imran, a farmer from Punjab, Pakistan, inspecting the newly bred cauliflower varieties. This meeting spanning 4,000 kilometers dates back ten years.  

2015年，孙德岭注意到，花椰菜在共建“一带一路”国家深受百姓喜爱，他想让中国优质花椰菜品种“走出去”，便到亚太种业国际博览会上寻找新机会。在那里，他首次见到了伊姆兰。孙德岭免费赠送中国花椰菜种子，让他回国试种。二人达成约定：如果试种结果不负众望，产量表现优异，次年还在大会相见，再续合作。未曾想，这份约定，一续便是十年。

In 2015, Sun Deling noticed that cauliflowers were popular among people in the Belt and Road Initiative partner countries. Hoping to take China’s high-quality cauliflower varieties abroad, he looked for opportunities at the Asian Seed Congress. It was there that he met Imran for the first time. Sun gave the Pakistani farmer some Chinese cauliflower seeds free of charge for trial cultivation. They made an agreement: if the trial exceeded expectations and yielded well, they would meet again at the conference next year and continue their cooperation. They never knew that the agreement could last for ten years until now.

十年间，孙德岭带领科研团队多次深入巴基斯坦调研，摸清当地花椰菜种植产业的痛点：本地种子产量低，品质参差不齐，还难以抵御当地多变的气候，农户购入种子渠道单一、价格高，影响收益。为破解这一困局，孙德岭团队扎根当地，采集上千份气候、土壤数据，结合巴基斯坦的温度、降水规律及病虫害发生特点，开展选育工作。在上万个品种的试种中反复淘汰、优化，最终成功培育出适配当地栽培条件的花椰菜品种。不仅解开了当地市场困境，还帮助农户实现增收致富，真正走出了一条因地制宜的种业合作之路。“让共建‘一带一路’国家的百姓能像我们国家的人民一样，一年四季都能吃到新鲜花椰菜，是每一位育种工作者的共同愿望。”孙德岭说。

Over the past ten years, Sun and his team have conducted in-depth investigations in Pakistan for multiple times, successfully found the pain points of local cauliflower industry: low yield, inconsistent seed quality, poor adaptation to the unstable local climate, limited channels of seed procurement and high prices, which erode farmers’ income. To address this predicament, the team rooted themselves locally, collected thousands of sets of climate and soil data, and carried out breeding experiments based on Pakistan’s temperature and precipitation patterns as well as pest and disease characteristics. After trialing more than 10,000 varieties, they have finally find the right ones suitable for the local conditions. The new varieties not only resolved market bottlenecks and raised farmers’ incomes, but also forged a truly localized model of seed cooperation. “Every breeder in our team wishes that people in Belt and Road Initiative partner countries can enjoy fresh cauliflowers all year round, just like us in China,” Sun said.

这十年，巴基斯坦对天津花椰菜种子的采购量呈现跨越式增长。从最初试种阶段的零星订单，到如今每年采购量以20%的增速稳步攀升，采购品种也从单一品类拓展到耐热、耐寒、早熟等多个专用品种。天津花椰菜种子已成为当地农户采购清单上的首选，订单覆盖巴基斯坦各省主要种植区。

During the past ten years, Pakistan's purchasing of Tianjin cauliflower seeds has soared, from scattered orders in the pilot phase to a steady 20% annual growth in procurement volume, and from a single type to multiple specialized varieties characterized in heat-tolerance, cold-resistance, early-maturation and so on. Tianjin cauliflower seeds are now the first choice on local farmers’ shopping lists across all major cropping zones of Pakistan.

中国种子凭什么能获得海外农户认可？孙德岭和伊姆兰给出了相同的答案：物美价廉！经销商爱卖，农户们爱种，老百姓爱吃，中国种子在异国他乡实现了产业上的“良性循环”。

What makes Chinese seeds gain recognition overseas? Sun and Imran provided the same answer: high quality and competitive price. Local dealers love to sell Chinese seeds, farmers love to grow Chinese cauliflowers, and consumers love to eat Chinese cauliflowers. Chinese seeds have created a virtuous industrial cycle on a foreign land.  

如今，巴基斯坦的花椰菜种植格局早已因“中国种子”改写。过去农户一年到头忙活也赚不了多少，不少人甚至想放弃种植。种植了中国的新品种后，产量大幅提升，耐储运性也显著增强，花椰菜能远销周边城市。农户增收的同时，也让越来越多原本闲置的土地重新被开垦成菜地，种植户队伍不断壮大。农户能靠着新鲜花椰菜拓展生意，菜市场里常年能见到平价又优质的花椰菜，普通家庭的餐桌选择变得丰富。

Today, Pakistan’s cauliflower planting landscape has been fundamentally reshaped by "Chinese seeds". In the past, farmers worked hard all year round but earned very little, and many even thought of giving up. After adopting the new Chinese varieties, yields rose sharply and storability improved, allowing them to be trucked to distant cities. Higher incomes have brought abandoned lands back into cultivation and the number of growers is getting bigger and bigger. Cauliflowers helped farmers expand their businesses, and now affordable, high-quality cauliflowers are available all year round in local markets, enriching the food choices on dining tables in ordinary families.

“我们当地百姓特别喜欢吃用中国种子种出来的花椰菜，还没从地里摘下来就被预定一空是常有的事！”伊姆兰说：“这些种子扎根在我们国家，不仅仅是种在地里的农作物，更是我们对未来美好生活的期待！它让我们的农户不再为收成发愁，让我们摆脱了对高价种子的依赖，农户们收成好，收入高，实实在在给我们的生活带来了看得见的改变！”

“Local people here really love cauliflowers grown from Chinese seeds; they are often all pre-ordered before they are even picked from the fields!” Imran said. “These seeds have taken roots in our country. They are more than crops in the field; they are our hope for a better life in the future. They freed our farmers from worrying about harvests and from dependence on over-priced seed. Good harvests and higher incomes have brought visible changes to our lives.”

谈及未来，孙德岭从容自信：“一粒小小的种子，承载着各个国家粮食生产的希望，更是满足人民美好生活需求的根本保障。随着中国农业科技的自立自强，未来会有越来越多中国种子走向世界，在异国他乡大放异彩。”从天津到旁遮普省，从实验室到田间地头，一粒种子，将两个素不相识的人紧紧牵绊在一起，也让中巴两国的农业合作结出更多硕果。

Speaking of the future, Sun is calm and confident: “Seeds are tiny, but on them rely the hope of every country's food production and the fundamental guarantee of a better life. As Chinese agricultural science grows more self-reliant and stronger, more and more Chinese seeds will go abroad and shine in foreign fields.” From Tianjin to Punjab, from laboratories to farmlands, a tiny seed has closely linked two strangers and enabled China-Pakistan agricultural cooperation to bear more fruits.（津云新闻记者/张璟 孙畅 设计制作/王舒瑶 费腾 Jinyun news reporters/ Zhang Jing, Sun Chang; Design and production/Wang Shuyao, Fei Teng）
