From June 6 to 8, the 2026 National Fresh Corn Industry Conference & Wuhan Seed Industry Expo grandly kicked off in Wuhan. As a national benchmark agricultural exhibition prioritized by Hubei Province, the Wuhan Seed Industry Expo has undergone years of iteration and development. It has evolved into a core platform for accelerating the commercialization of agricultural scientific and technological innovations and facilitating industry exchange and collaboration. Co-hosted as a dual-event this year, the expo covers a total exhibition area of 180,000 square meters. Centered on the 'Four New' development directions—new agricultural varieties, new technologies, new models and new machinery—the event gathers thousands of premium agricultural products, injecting momentum into the high-quality coordinated growth of the national seed industry.

Leveraging this prestigious industry platform, Yafei Seed, a key enterprise in China’s seed industry and a Provincial Key Leading Enterprise of Agricultural Industrialization in Hubei Province, showcased multiple self-developed superior varieties. The company built a pastoral-style booth with a fresh, natural aesthetic that stood out among all exhibits. Models dressed in vegetable-themed costumes further elevated the immersive vibe, drawing massive crowds. A wide array of high-quality specialty vegetables was neatly displayed, perfectly blending the down-to-earth essence of traditional agriculture with the creative aesthetics of modern art. Experts, scholars, exhibitors from across the country and local citizens flocked to the booth for visits and exchanges, keeping the area bustling throughout the show.

At the exhibition site, Yafei Seed featured multiple market-best-selling vegetable varieties including Broccolini, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Cabbage, fully demonstrating the company’s strong R&D capabilities.

Among all exhibits, Yafei Wanlianqing Lacinato Kale, a product refined by the company over more than a decade of dedicated research, became the highlight of the entire expo. As an upgraded variant of kale, this variety boasts outstanding nutritional advantages, with higher levels of core nutrients including vitamin C and dietary fiber than ordinary kale. It eliminates the bitter taste common to conventional kale and caters to Chinese cooking habits for cooked dishes, enabling wide-ranging application scenarios. Currently, the variety has been supplied to well-known brands including Bannu Maodu Hot Pot, Freshippo and Shuyi Dessert, evolving into a viral internet-famous vegetable. During the expo, the company prepared fresh fruit and vegetable juices made from the popular Wanlianqing Lacinato Kale. Their fresh, healthy and refreshing taste won widespread praise, with an endless stream of visitors lining up for tastings.

For years, Yafei Seed has focused on high-quality specialty vegetable breeding and built a complete industrial chain covering variety R&D, large-scale cultivation, market sales and product processing. It has broken the crude processing model of agricultural products, significantly boosted the added value of farm produce and delivered tangible market value to premium seed varieties. Meanwhile, the company continues to deepen R&D of specialty vegetables, and is fully committed to developing innovative medicinal-and-edible varieties such as Radix Isatidis Broccolini and Lacinato Kale.

Looking ahead, Yafei Seed will stay committed to seed innovation. The company will deepen germplasm R&D, empower industrial upgrading, and help modern agriculture achieve higher quality and efficiency with premium varieties and cutting-edge technologies. It will continue to contribute corporate strength to rural revitalization and the high-quality development of the national seed industry.
