Look at this Huanglian, with thick roots and meat, and a strong medicinal aroma. It can be sold for more than 200 yuan per kilogram at its place of origin this year! "Chen Fulong, a large-scale grower in Wolong Village, Shazi Town, Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County, Chongqing, said after collecting Huanglian." My hometown has an area of over 20 acres of Huanglian, and we can harvest 2 acres this year, producing 600 kilograms per acre. It is expected to sell for 180000 yuan. "In Shizhu County, there are more than 11000 Huanglian growers like Chen Fulong, and the annual Huanglian land area in the county is about 58000 acres, with an annual output of over 3000 tons. Huanglian has become a prosperous industry for the villagers. Shizhu County is located in the Wuling Mountain area, with many mountains and fragmented land. How to coordinate the development of industries while protecting the ecology? The county aims to improve the intensification, specialization, and organization of Huanglian production and operation, innovate the concept of 'mutually beneficial coexistence of forests and forests', and find a path of ecological greening and industrial efficiency enhancement, "said Nie Guanglou, head of the Huanglian Office of the Chinese Medicinal Materials Science and Technology Department of Shizhu County Agriculture and Rural Committee. The model of "enterprise+village collective+farmers" is gradually maturing. In Shazi Town, the planting area of Huanglian exceeds 16000 mu, and the expected output this year is 500 tons. We encourage village level collective economic cooperatives, family farms and other new business entities to provide centralized baking, unified packaging and other services for farmers, and improve the quality of Huanglian, "said Liao Huaqiao, director of the Shazi Town Agricultural Service Center. Quanxing Village in Zhongyi Township, not far away, established a village collective economic organization, integrated resources, developed a 20 acre Huanglian Industrial Park, and built a Huanglian baking workshop. I harvested more than 1 acre of Huanglian this year, with a yield of 800 pounds. I baked it in time and the quality improved, earning more than 30000 yuan more than last year, "said Zhou Chengxiao, a Huanglian grower in Quanxing Village. Today, a Coptis chinensis industrial chain covering Coptis chinensis planting, scientific research, traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations deep processing to market transactions is taking shape. Shizhu County has established a national research center for Huanglian, promoting new technologies such as floating seedling cultivation and small arch shed planting, introducing enterprises to develop Huanglian tablets, Huanglian toothpaste and other products, extending the industrial chain, and enhancing added value. In 2023, the total output value of the Huanglian industry in the county will reach 1.28 billion yuan, driving people to increase their income and become prosperous. (New Society)
