Xiong Weizheng, deputy to the National People’s Congress and founder of Henan Lingrui Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd(600285) from the old revolutionary base in Dabie Mountain, takes revitalizing the old revolutionary base as his mission, has been running for the development of oil tea industry in the old revolutionary base in recent years, and has made suggestions for the oil tea industry for years.
On March 4, Xiong Weizheng said in an interview with the Securities Daily that this year, focusing on the Camellia oleifera industry, he put forward seven suggestions, including “strengthening macro-control, promoting the efficient development of the Camellia oleifera industrial chain, building Xinyang Camellia oleifera Industrial Park into a national characteristic industrial park, vigorously cultivating Camellia oleifera leading enterprises, and building a Camellia oleifera Research Institute in the northern edge of Xinyang”.
It is reported that Camellia oleifera is one of the four major woody oil tree species in the world. It is unique to China and is mainly distributed in the Yangtze River Basin and 14 provinces (cities and districts) to the south. Xinyang City in Henan Province, located at the north foot of Dabie Mountain, as the northern edge of Camellia oleifera, has prominent basic advantages in developing Camellia oleifera industry. At present, Camellia oleifera industry has become a new support for the people in the old revolutionary base area of Dabie Mountain to increase their income and get rich. By the end of 2021, there were 1067900 mu of Camellia oleifera forest in Xinyang City, and the comprehensive output value of Camellia oleifera reached 2 billion yuan. The development model of “leading enterprises + cooperatives + base + farmers” has been formed, benefiting 24850 forest farmers.
Talking about the current development of Camellia oleifera industry, Xiong Weizheng said: “the development of Camellia oleifera Industry in Xinyang city still has a lot of room for development in terms of industrial scale, industrial structure and industrial chain. The leading role of existing Camellia oleifera processing enterprises is not strong, enterprises lack financial and technical support in R & D, and the production of Camellia oleifera by-products with high added value is still blank, resulting in a short industrial chain and low economic benefits.”
In this regard, Xiong Weizheng suggested that the cultivation and support of leading enterprises should be regarded as the “cow’s nose” for the development of Camellia oleifera industry, break the boundaries of region and ownership, implement strong alliance, and establish Camellia oleifera industry enterprise group. Support processing enterprises to participate in the construction of Camellia oleifera raw material forest base, and enhance the radiation drive and market competitiveness of leading enterprises.
Xiong Weizheng said frankly: “We Camellia oleifera people are working hard to launch the brand goal of ‘Xinyang camellia oil’. We are preparing to build Xinyang Camellia oleifera Industrial Park, aiming to build it into a national Camellia oleifera processing center, trading center, R & D center, training center and logistics center; cultivate a strong Camellia oleifera leading enterprise and strive to list the first share of Camellia oleifera in China.”
It is reported that the current slow development of China’s Camellia oleifera industry is mainly caused by the long growth cycle of Camellia oleifera, few excellent varieties of Camellia oleifera, poor foundation of planting management and protection technology, low degree of mechanization, low national average yield per mu, weak deep processing capacity of Camellia oleifera and few derivatives of Camellia oleifera. The scientific and technological R & D force of the Camellia oleifera industry is very weak. As an industry with long-term strategic value that can greatly improve the safety and self-sufficiency level of grain and oil, it is particularly important to improve the scientific research force and solve the problems of industrial development.
Xiong Weizheng said: “Scientific planting can increase farmers’ income. I have repeatedly invited Camellia oleifera experts to Xinyang to guide the work, promote the forestry and tea bureau to formulate planting standards and train farmers to master planting technology. After scientific and reasonable planting, the oil output of Camellia oleifera seeds in Xinyang has increased from 30 kg / mu – 40 kg / mu to 80 kg / mu – 100 kg / mu, and the annual income of farmers has increased to 3000 yuan / mu. Planting Camellia oleifera is like planting grain Like food, it needs scientific research investment and talent investment. Therefore, I have been putting forward suggestions on the establishment of Xinyang Camellia oleifera Research Institute, hoping to get the support of relevant departments. “
For promoting the efficient development of Camellia oleifera industrial chain, Xiong Weizheng suggested strengthening the macro guidance of Camellia oleifera Industry and promoting the efficient development of Camellia oleifera industry with the help of the full cooperation and cooperation between departments; Support and encourage enterprises, cooperatives, family farms and large planting households with experience in planting Camellia oleifera to develop the Camellia oleifera Industry in a scientific and orderly manner.
