Jiaqi is an early pioneer of quinoa industrialization in China and a builder of a quinoa innovation platform. For 18 years, Jiaqi has been developing integrated capabilities around quinoa as a future crop — from germplasm resources and breeding innovation to multi-environment cultivation, food innovation and global collaboration.
Introducing a crop was only the beginning. It required conservation, understanding, improvement, and continuous validation across diverse environments and real production conditions.
Since 2008, Jiaqi has taken a long-term approach, connecting genetic resources, scientific research, breeding innovation and industry applications to build the foundation for quinoa innovation in China.
These are not separate stages, but a continuous journey — from building the foundation of an industry, to expanding innovation capabilities, and advancing toward a global collaboration platform.
Build the foundations needed for quinoa industrialization in China across germplasm resources, breeding innovation, cultivation systems, processing technologies and industry applications.
History and current capabilitiesExtend accumulated resources, technologies and experience to more varieties, diverse ecological regions, industry applications and collaborative scenarios.
In progressConnect global germplasm resources, scientific expertise and industry partners to build a future-oriented quinoa innovation collaboration platform.
Future direction
“Quinoa is more than a crop; it represents an opportunity to rethink the future of agriculture and food systems.”
As an ancient crop with remarkable genetic diversity, quinoa combines exceptional nutritional value with the ability to adapt to diverse and challenging environments. We believe that by unlocking the potential of quinoa through science, innovation and breeding, we can contribute to the development of future food systems and new generations of sustainable staple crops.
Jiaqi is an early pioneer of quinoa industrialisation in China and a builder of long-term innovation platforms, active since 2008.
Jiaqi connects capabilities in germplasm, phenotyping and genomics, breeding, farming, food innovation and industry collaboration.
It describes a path from building foundations to expanding applications and towards a global collaboration platform. The Global Platform remains a development direction.
