The World Agricultural Center (the "WAC"), a new global hub for agricultural 
research, has opened its doors in Harbin, the capital city of China's 
northeastern province Heilongjiang. The opening ceremony saw several prominent 
industry figures deliver keynote speeches stressing the important role the WAC 
will have in driving forward the development of the agricultural sector in 
China and beyond.

The WAC builds on the legacy of the International Agricultural Technology 
Innovation Center (IATIC), was built as a part of Heilongjiang's effort to 
build itself into a thriving international hub for agricultural innovation. A 
new, striking landmark for the city of Harbin, the World Agricultural Center is 
the world's tallest building dedicated to agricultural research. The WAC is 
equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for a host of frontier agriculture 
research projects.

Global Headquarters of DBN officially settled in the "World Agricultural 
Center", and introduced a number of international institutions such as the 
International Black Soil Research Institute of the Food and Agriculture 
Organization of the United Nations, the International Agricultural Economic 
Research Center, and the International Agricultural Think Tank, and will be 
built as the permanent site of the annual World Agricultural Economic Forum 
here. As a result, China's agricultural field will work together to build the 
world's agricultural science and technology innovation highland, and promote 
world agriculture to China, and Chinese agriculture to the world.

Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences and DBN recently held a global 
introduction conference for high-end agricultural talents. Liu Di, Dean of 
Heilongjiang Academy of Agriculture Science, and Zhang Lizhong, Vice Chairman 
of DBN Group, signed an agreement and jointly issued an announcement regarding

professional, and high-level agricultural high-end scientific research talents 
are expected to be introduced to the world at five levels, aiming to benchmark 
domestically developed regions. Match the introduction of talents at different
