After graduation, Yuan Longping has been engaged in agricultural education and hybrid rice research. 197 1 onwards, researcher of Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, vice chairman of Hunan CPPCC, member of CPPCC Standing Committee, director of National Hybrid Rice Engineering and Technology Research Center.
