Qiu-yang ZHANG pointed out, Taiwan has modernized agricultural technology, while Heilongjiang is now trying to re-organize its agricultural structure, focusing on high-efficient agriculture; the cooperation between two sides on new species development and technological interchange must bring great opportunities forth. In order to strengthen the cooperation, Qiu-yang ZHANG said, the establishment of Heilongjiang-Taiwan Economic & Cultural Association is needed.
