On 15 October 2025, Origin Agritech Limited (NASDAQ: SEED) announced a new collaboration agreement with Fengtian Seed Industry to jointly develop and commercialize premium corn varieties, including Ao Yu Feng Tian 310, 501, and 109. The announcement was made during Origin’s Northeast Variety Showcase and Technology Seminar in Changchun, which attracted more than 200 dealers and partners.
The partnership will leverage Fengtian’s established distribution network in Northeast China and Origin’s advanced GMO and gene‑editing technologies. Together, the companies will focus on accelerating the development of the three premium varieties and bringing them to market under a shared licensing and commercialization framework. This joint effort is intended to strengthen Origin’s market penetration in a key agricultural region and to generate additional revenue streams from both seed sales and technology licensing.
By entering into this collaboration, Origin expands its strategic footprint in Northeast China, a region that has historically been a high‑yield corn market. The partnership aligns with Origin’s broader roadmap to achieve cash‑flow breakeven by 2026 and to become a leading global biotech seed company. The agreement is expected to enhance Origin’s competitive position and create new growth opportunities in the coming planting seasons.
