Abstrac: With the advent of the information era, technological innovation, particularly internet-based technology, has become the core driver of agricultural development. In this context, accurate and efficient translation of agricultural science and technology texts is vital for promoting China’s agricultural modernization and enhancing the international dissemination of its achievements. Guided by Skopos Theory, which emphasizes that translation strategies should serve the intended communicative purpose rather than rigid source-text correspondence, this study examines the English translation of Seed Industry in China as a representative case. The paper explores how the Skopos Rule, Coherence Rule, and Fidelity Rule can be applied to translate technical terms, abbreviations, complex sentences, and culture-bound expressions in agricultural science and technology contexts. The findings indicate that Skopos Theory provides a flexible and effective framework for balancing accuracy, readability, and audience-specific communicative goals while maintaining fidelity to the source text. This contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of cross-cultural communication in agricultural contexts
