YANGLING, China, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The 28th China Yangling Agricultural High-tech Fair, often referred to as the "Agricultural Olympics", will be held from Oct. 22 to 26 in Yangling, Shaanxi Province.

With the theme "science and technology innovation drives rural vitalization", the exhibition area of the fair will cover 200,000 square meters and will have 2,100 booths, according to the Organizing Committee of China Yangling Agricultural Hi-Tech Fair.

The five-day event will feature 12 major activities, including a round-table conference on the development of modern agriculture among Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states. The fair will have online and offline sessions this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since that time, a demonstration base for agricultural technology exchange and training has been established in Yangling for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). Additionally, Yangling has integrated agricultural resources within the region and has undertaken extensive international agricultural exchanges and collaborative projects.

To date, Yangling has built 13 international scientific research and innovation cooperation platforms have been formed, eight international cooperation parks, and the Silkroad Agricultural Education and Research Innovation Alliance.
