One of the main producing areas, the imported cottonseed is directly related to the safety of cotton production in the jurisdiction area.

Before the import of cottonseed, the Hunan Yueyang inspection and Quarantine Bureau organized the research team to go deep into the cotton producing area, understand the cotton production safety situation, carry out risk analysis seriously, and put forward specific biological safety precautions.

Because the imported cottonseed is a genetically modified product, the Bureau has extensively collected relevant technical regulations and standards at home and abroad, focusing on the situation of cotton pgene and epidemic disease in the United States, and has identified the genetically modified organisms, epidemic diseases and health inspection and quarantine projects in advance, and has strictly tested the laboratory.

In view of the characteristics of many imported cotton seeds, high regulatory requirements and long logistics time, the bureau took the initiative to coordinate the relevant departments at the port, formulate inspection and supervision plans ahead of time, closely control the inspection from the inspection to the whole process of the regulation, optimize the loading and unloading process, speed up the customs clearance and improve the efficiency of inspection and supervision.

It is reported that the import of cottonseed opened the first direct import of bulk agricultural products in Hunan, which is of strategic significance for improving the international logistics impact of Hunan Chenglingji port, stimulating the development of Hunan's open economy and speeding up the direct shipping of Hunan ports.
