New Ideas Lead a New Journey Special Industries Stimulate Rural Revitalization New Vitality Clusters | Rural | Special Industries
CCTV News: To promote Chinese path to modernization, we must comprehensively promote rural revitalization.Recently, the reporter walked into the front line of rural areas and saw that various regions have taken characteristic industries as the starting point, expanded the industrial chain and developed industrial clusters, integrated the development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, and cultivated new driving forces for rural revitalization.
On this Dragon Boat Festival, the lychees in Baiqiao Village, Genzi Town, Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province welcomed a bountiful harvest.The General Secretary walked into the lychee plantation to understand the local development of characteristic planting industries and cultural tourism industries, and had friendly exchanges with on-site technical personnel.
Maoming's lychees are famous nationwide, but as a tropical fruit that is prone to spoilage, how can we quickly deliver the watery lychees from the ground to the dining table? This "Tian Tou Xiao Station" has played an important role. The small site gathers a complete set of equipment such as lychee screening, refrigeration, and cold chain transportation, allowing for initial processing of lychees while picking. Not only that, taking the highway from the ground and flying across the country from the airport, fresh lychees can reach major cities in China within 24 hours at the fastest, and arrive at the export market in 3 days.
Taking characteristic industries as the starting point, we will comprehensively promote rural revitalization. By the end of last year, 40 advantageous characteristic industry clusters, 50 national modern agricultural industrial parks, and 200 strong agricultural industry towns will be built nationwide. A large number of characteristic agricultural products, such as lychees from Maoming, apples from Yan'an, lilies from Lanzhou, cherries from Dalian, and fungus from Dongning, are renowned throughout the country. These "local specialties" have transformed into a major industry for villagers to increase their income and become prosperous.
To expand and strengthen characteristic industries, various regions are busy promoting the entire industry chain. This is the lavender flower sea covering thousands of acres in Huocheng, Xinjiang. Once, the short flowering period and limited variety were the bottlenecks that hindered the growth of the local lavender industry. To solve these problems, the local government seized the opportunity of village enterprise cooperation and laid out the industrial chain with lavender as the center. Moving forward, developing tourism, research and other projects; Backward, develop derivative products such as essential oils and dried flowers. In 2022, the per capita income of the entire village reached 22000 yuan.
In 2022, the conversion rate of agricultural product processing in China reached 72%, and the operating income of agricultural product processing enterprises in China was nearly 25 trillion yuan. The industrial chain continued to expand, clusters accelerated the formation, and the vitality of rural industries in various regions was becoming more and more abundant. In the blueberry planting area of Huaining, Anhui, the output value of the blueberry industry has reached 5 billion yuan. From breeding high-quality varieties to large-scale planting, from leisure picking to food processing, we are exploring the construction of a three-dimensional industrial cluster centered on blueberries.
The characteristic industries are changing the appearance of rural China. During this Dragon Boat Festival holiday, in Zuoquenzecheng Village, Shanxi, the Taihang scenery attracted a large number of art students to sketch and paint from life. In Dongyue Village, Guangshan County, Henan Province, tourists listen to flower drum plays, make sachets, and experience folk culture. The Tangchang cloth shoes, Shu embroidery and other intangible cultural heritage workshops in Zhanqi Village, Chengdu, Sichuan have become the preferred check-in places for everyone. Now, over 70% of China's intangible cultural heritage projects are preserved in rural areas, and characteristic industries dominated by intangible cultural heritage are becoming a new way to increase rural income.
