Combining the complementary strength from DBN Seed, DBNBC will enable the seamlessly transition from early discovery research stage to late product development stage. The transition line will greatly accelerate the speed of delivering biotech seeds to the hands of Chinese farmers. 500 million RMB is earmarked to invest into DBNBC in five years.
