    Combining advantageous resources to cultivate leading industries, Pengzhou helps Heishui County to overcome poverty——

    On June 25, in Waboliangzi Township, Heishui County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Xieli Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. invested in the breeding base of improved varieties of Fritillaria tile, Taozhi villagers tasted the joy of "harvest". Ariki, working hours are 33 hours, with a salary of 495 yuan; Bimuzhi, working hours are 24 hours, with a salary of 360 yuan... "Duan Jiufu, the technical manager of the base, distributed recent labor wages to the villagers.

    Sichuan is known as "the hometown of traditional Chinese medicine and the storehouse of traditional Chinese medicine", and Fritillaria cirrhosa is a rare variety of authentic medicinal materials produced in Sichuan. The discovery and source of its main variety, Wabu Fritillaria, is located in Wabo Liangzi Township, which has a long history of planting traditional Chinese medicine. Although we have been optimistic about the genuine medicine industry for a long time, we have been blocked in the industrial development of Heishui County due to the lack of technology, capital and the difficulty in introducing the industrial chain.

     Since 2016, Pengzhou City has been helping Heishui County, taking advantage of the opportunity of building Tianfu Traditional Chinese Medicine City, to help Heishui County find a way to help the whole country with the Chinese medicine industry as the core. Nowadays, thousands of acres of traditional Chinese medicine bases such as Wabu Fritillaria, rhubarb, and alpine Qianghuo are scattered among the mountains of Heishui, becoming the hope for farmers and herdsmen in the upper half of the mountain to lift themselves out of poverty. □ Reporter Wu Yafei's article/image

    bottleneck

    Lack of technical funding projects and slow development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry

    Heishui County is a typical Tibetan inhabited area, with more than 80% of the population living in the high mountains and more than 90% of the land distributed in the high mountains. The ecological environment is fragile and sensitive. In the past, traditional agriculture and animal husbandry were the leading industries, and the economic and social development of the county was relatively lagging behind.

    The mountains and rivers are the bottleneck and resource endowment for the development of Heishui. How to do a good job in land articles? Since 2013, Heishui County has tried to develop the genuine medicine industry by taking advantage of the rich and unpolluted land resources and rich resources of wild Chinese medicinal materials in the high and middle mountains, and relying on the industrial foundation with a long history of planting Chinese medicinal materials locally, which has increased the promotion of Chinese medicine planting.

     But at that time, the effect was not significant. He Jun, secretary of the Party Committee of Heishui County Bureau of Science and Technology, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Water Affairs, analyzed that the cultivation period of traditional Chinese medicine is long and the effect is slow. In addition, farmers and herdsmen lack the technology and experience to cultivate authentic traditional Chinese medicine, and often use the extensive planting method of "planting is just enough", which affects output, has low industrial benefits, causes a vicious circle, and dampens the enthusiasm of farmers.

     In addition, due to government supporting policies, incomplete infrastructure and other factors, it is relatively difficult for Heishui County to introduce pharmaceutical enterprises, capital and capital, and it is unable to form a Chinese herbal medicine industry chain.

    hand in hand

     Cooperation and joint construction between two regions to leverage deep participation of social capital

    In 2018, Pengzhou deeply explored the advantages of Heishui's ecological resources, incorporated the planting base of traditional Chinese medicine in Heishui County into the development plan of Tianfu Traditional Chinese Medicine City, and cooperated with pharmaceutical enterprises in Pengzhou to establish an enclave planting base and set up deep processing plants in Heishui. The challenge of attracting investment and enterprises in Blackwater has been overcome.

    Zhang Yunchun, Deputy General Manager of Sichuan Xieli Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., introduced that Sichuan scallops, rhubarb and other medicinal materials are the main raw materials for the company's pharmaceutical industry, and Heishui has the natural advantage of developing these high-quality medicinal materials. Therefore, the company has decided to establish a planting base in Heishui, which has now established a 610 acre traditional Chinese medicine base.

    In addition to the cooperative pharmaceutical industry, many pharmaceutical enterprises have chosen to invest in Heishui County under the mobilization and organization of Pengzhou City. Chengdu First Pharmaceutical Company has planted 70 acres of scopolamine in Garong Village, Luoduo Township, and will build a preliminary processing plant for traditional Chinese medicine in Changheba Industrial Park, Luhua Town; The new green pharmaceutical industry will establish a standardized planting base for 120 acres of high mountain Qianghuo in Deshiwo Village, Luhua Town.

    Integrating the resources of the whole region, the Chinese herbal medicine industry in Heishui County has a specific development "road map": develop the standards of medicinal materials, and cooperate with the Sichuan Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other Chinese herbal medicine planting and research institutions to define the dominant categories and Active ingredient of Heishui; Develop certification traceability, establish drug testing centers with enterprises, introduce Professional certification institutions, and establish a traceability system for Chinese medicinal materials; Integrate into circulation channels, establish a black water medicinal material storage and transportation base, and cooperate with Pengzhou e-commerce enterprises to establish online sales channels; Co create medicinal brand and enhance awareness.

    Demonstration of Traditional Chinese Medicine Base for Farmers and Herdsmen: "Bolstering" and "Having a Foundation"

    At the end of this month, the Wabu Fritillaria Seed Breeding Base will collect the first batch of trial seedlings. Duan Jiufu led the reporter into the base and pointed to the well growing Wabu Fritillaria plants in the base, his tone difficult to conceal excitement. "This harvest also means that the trial planting has achieved preliminary results

    Duan Jiufu's excitement is not difficult to understand. He Jun introduced that the wild Fritillaria cirrhosa is an endangered species. It grows in plateau areas over 3500 meters and has strict requirements on the growth environment. In the 1960s and 1970s, Tang Xinyao, a former professor at West China Medical University, discovered and named Wabu Fritillaria here; In 2010, as a new source of Fritillaria cirrhosa, Fritillaria wabu was officially included in the 2010 Pharmacopoeia. As a relatively high yield category of Fritillaria cirrhosa that is more suitable for artificial breeding, it has solved the problem of resource shortage of Fritillaria cirrhosa to a considerable extent. Now, the standardized planting base of Fritillaria tile in Heishui County County has finally been completed.

    The driving benefits are also increasingly prominent. From the perspective of targeted poverty alleviation, Sichuan Xieli Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is promoting the participation of local farmers in field cultivation, management and maintenance through land transfer and labor employment in the construction of the base. The company's technical personnel are in charge of "helping and guiding".

    On the day of receiving the labor wage, Taozhi Village villager A Riji warmly invited the reporter and his team to visit his home. "I am learning technology while practicing, and I am trying to plant Wabu Fritillaria at home

    The entry of capital and enterprises, as well as the gradual formation of the industrial chain, have given Tibetan farmers and herdsmen the confidence to develop traditional Chinese medicine. Across the mountain from the Wabu Fritillaria breeding base is the Tanggu Rhubarb planting base, with hundreds of acres of Rhubarb planted along the mountain, forming a scenic line.

    Shui Changbao, the president of Zhicheng Genuine Chinese Medicine Cooperation Association of Heishui County, said frankly that today, enterprises transfer villagers' land for large-scale development, which has demonstrated and emboldened villagers, and has brought advanced planting technology and standardized planting management mode. The joint participation of the local planting cooperatives and farmers in the project is both blood transfusion and blood production.
