Agricultural products that meet various functional needs such as nutrition,health care and safety are increasingly favored by the general public. Se,one of the trace elements necessary for the human body,has begun to be applied and developed in medicine and other life sciences. Developing Se-enriched agricultural relying on Guangxi's unique Se-enriched soil resources is of great significance to enhance people's quality of life,increase the added value of agricultural products,and promote the transformation and upgrading of modern agriculture in the region. Starting with the development status and advantages of industrial development of Se-enriched agriculture in Guangxi,the main problems existing in the current industrial development of Se-enriched agriculture in Guangxi were summarized,and specific countermeasures were put forward in this paper,so as to provide theoretical support for the development of Se-enriched agriculture in Guangxi.展开更多
