The opening ceremony of the Asia-Pacific Agriculture Research Center started at 10 A.M. on July 24th at NPUST.

Locating in the zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, the area where NPUST situates enjoys a subtropical climate. Among the research entities in those big agricultural states which have dedicated mainly in agriculture development, NPUST earns an irreplaceable position and has advantage on agricultural development. Taking account of the goal of the
national integral development of agriculture as well as the distinction of the tropical zone, the Center operates primly to create non-substituent and high-value agricultural product. Furthermore, NPUST collaborates with the research organizations in Asia Pacific zone and in the adjoining areas to
integrate the research resources, and elaborates the university and industry liaison system with those state-level agricultural biotechnology parks in its neighborhood in order to conduct the researches of the frontiers and the university and industry service.

The establishment of the Center sets up a mile-stone in our domestic research on tropical agriculture; moreover, it will bring more novel directions concerning tropical agriculture study for both teachers and students.
