Qinglong, Guizhou Builds 15,000 mu of New Ecological Tea Gardens
(Agricultural Wealth Network) This year, Qinglong County has made tea a key industry in the adjustment of its agricultural industry structure and gives it priority support, planning to invest 15 million yuan to develop 15,000 mu of new tea gardens across 11 townships in the county.
Qinglong County has unique advantages in climate and environmental resources, and is suitable for developing high-quality products such as pollution-free tea, green food tea and organic tea. This year, in line with the principle of adapting measures to local conditions and advancing steadily, the county has formed tea science and technology teams from cadres of the county Tea Industry Bureau, implementing each step one by one from site selection, planning, development, planting, shaping and pruning, water and fertilizer management, and processing, promoting standardized and normalized production techniques, and actively advancing tea garden construction. The county plans to allocate more than 2 million yuan in special funds each year for the development of the tea industry. The main goals are: to be market-oriented, to take the development of high-quality green tea as the direction, and to take the promotion of clonal improved varieties as the breakthrough point, cultivating high-yield, high-quality and high-efficiency tea gardens; to use existing tea gardens as the foundation and vigorously promote organic, green and pollution-free low-pesticide-residue tea production techniques; to vigorously develop finely packaged, high-grade famous and excellent tea, and raise the standardization and mechanization level of tea processing; to comprehensively improve the overall benefits of the tea industry, and strive to build Qinglong into a national high-quality tea production base within 2015. At the same time, efforts will focus on the transformation of low-yield tea gardens and old tea gardens, giving policy and funding support to operators and farmers, and facilitating tea farmers' ecological conversion of low-yield tea gardens and old tea gardens. Starting this year, based on the county's 3.5 million mu of tea garden area, high-quality tea gardens will be expanded in 11 townships including Shazi, Bihen, Dachang and Huagong. More than 20,000 mu of new tea gardens will be developed each year, reaching more than 100,000 mu by 2011, of which clonal improved-variety tea gardens will account for more than 70%, high-standard tea gardens will account for more than one third, and total tea industry revenue will exceed 300 million yuan; in 7 townships including Shazi, Bihen, Jichang, Angu, Zima, Dachang and Huagong, 7 tea bases of more than 10,000 mu each will be built on a key basis, 3 tea bases of more than 2,000 mu each will be built in 3 townships including Zhongying, Sanbao and Datian, and more than 20 specialized tea villages will be built, with each specialized village building more than 1,000 mu of tea gardens.
