The current construction of new liberal arts has brought new opportunities and challenges to the construction and development of Business English major, and the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce has continuously increased the requirements for the quantity and quality of compound Business English talents. Based on theoretical research, data analysis of talent demand information, and qualitative analysis of interviews, this paper takes serving modern agriculture as the focus, based on the concept of new liberal arts construction, and takes the research on the core literacy of Business English talents as the entry point. It highlights the integration of language, business, and agricultural knowledge and the intersection of disciplines. In response to the problems of insufficient subject integration and ineffective core literacy training in the process of cultivating Business English majors, a “three chain integration” talent training model for Business English major (serving modern agricultural business) is constructed. The curriculum system of “three chain integration”, the teaching method system of “three methods simultaneously”, and the educational support system of “three system coordination” are completed, which provides practical path references for establishing a new Business English liberal arts major that serves the national strategy of modern agriculture, and cultivating Business English talents urgently needed by the country to serve the national strategy of modern agriculture.
