    Realizing
      the scale plantation of energy oil crops and providing bio-diesel with stable
      sources of grease are the key links for promoting the process of bio-diesel
      industrialization. Cyperus esculentus can be energetically developed as an
      energy oil crop so as to provide raw material of grease for the bio-diesel
      industrialization. At the request of Xinyang Hongchang Channel Gas Engineering
      Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Party B”), Institute of Oil Crops
      Research Chinese Academy of Agriculture Sciences (hereinafter referred to as
      “Party A”) conduct adaptability experiments on cyperus esculentus, in three
      experimental sites selected in Henan, Hubei and Anhui Provinces (one in each
      of
      the provinces), with fine seeds of cyperus esculentus provided by Party A,
      and
      after having confirmed that such variety of cyperus esculentus is suitable
      to be
      planted in the foresaid experimental sites, carry out development of the variety
      of cyperus esculentus on a cooperative basis.

    

    To
      safeguard benefits of the two parties, Party A and Party B agree as follows
      with
      respect to the cooperative experimentation and development of cyperus esculentus
      through consultation, on the principles of scientificalness, impartiality and
      reciprocity.
