The award recognizes outstanding practices in pursuing high-quality development, digitalization, green transformation, and industrial integration, offering replicable models for other enterprises.

 The Second Prize 

Yonfer's winning project addresses national food security and fertilizer reduction strategies. To tackle challenges such as single-function fertilizer products, insufficient industry chain coordination, and low nutrient use efficiency, the company built an integrated management system centered on technological innovation. Key R&D focuses include high efficiency, crop specificity, environmental friendliness, and functional enhancement. Breakthroughs were achieved in key production processes—such as high-tower, AZF, and dual-controlled DCR—enabling a full-chain system from soil testing and formula development to smart manufacturing, field trials, technical services, and large-scale application.

Concrete outcomes include the development of nearly 200 crop-specific fertilizers across 20 categories, tailored for staple crops (wheat, corn, rice) and high-value cash crops (peanuts, apples, vegetables). A nearly 1,300-member agronomic service team, supported by the digital platform "Yonfer Smart Ag," has advanced integrated "technology + service" models.

Application results show an average yield increase of 8–10% for field crops and over 10% income growth for cash crops. In peanut and soybean development, Yonfer collaborated with Academician Li Peiwu's team from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences' Oil Crops Research Institute to create a bacteria-fertilizer integrated product that reduces aflatoxin contamination by 80%—a global challenge—while increasing farmer income by RMB 200–400 per mu.

Over the past three years, Yonfer has promoted over 12 million tons of crop-specific fertilizers on more than 20 million hectares (2 billion mu), providing 28,000 customized nutrient solutions for farmers.

Looking ahead, Yonfer will continue advancing technology iteration, high-end industrial collaboration, and digital agronomic services to support national food security and green agricultural transformation with its replicable model.
