There are many varieties of Camellia oleifera in Xingguo County. Camellia oleifera mountain area accounts for 67% of the mountain area, with 3.9 mu of Camellia oleifera per capita. The income of Camellia oleifera industry per capita is in 280 yuan. Camellia oleifera has become the local leading industry and the main way to increase farmers' income in towns and villages such as Juncun and Tea Garden, the main producing areas of Camellia oleifera. According to the mature season, there are four varieties: Hanluzi, Ershui Peach and Chushuangzi, among which "Ershui Peach" is listed as an excellent variety popularized in the whole province. According to relevant historical records, Xingguo has cultivated Camellia oleifera for more than 2,300 years. Camellia oleifera is distributed in every village in the county, including 10,000 mu of villages and towns 18, the most of which is Juncun village165,000 mu and cha yuan xiang129,000 mu. The annual output value of Camellia oleifera products in the county is 52.25 million yuan, accounting for 7% of the agricultural output value. Xingguo Camellia oleifera also has the advantages of high yield and good quality. According to the investigation, a large number of high-yield models of Camellia oleifera have emerged in this county. For example, 80 mu of Camellia oleifera forest in the county economic forest farm produces more than 20 kilograms of tea oil per mu in general years, and can reach more than 30 kilograms in high-yield years. Chen Ruisheng, a farmer from Zhucun Village, the head of the military village, contracted 500 mu of Camellia oleifera mountain in the rural forest farm, with an average yield of oil per mu 1 1 kg. Ye Aihua, a villager in Laoyingpan Village, Gaoxing Town, manages Camellia oleifera hill 15 mu, and the yield of Camellia oleifera oil per mu is nearly 12 kg. Nowadays, Xingguo county tea oil is favored by consumers because of its green color and fragrant taste. It is exported to Nanchang, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao, and the products are in short supply.

In order to promote the value-added processing of raw and auxiliary materials of Camellia oleifera series, the county established two large-scale Camellia oleifera processing enterprises while developing small private processing plants, which not only greatly improved the oil yield and quality of Camellia oleifera, but also started refining processing such as saponin refining and opened an activated carbon factory. The two large-scale processing enterprises process 0.3 million tons of tea seeds and 27,000 tons of tea cakes annually, which not only solves the worries of Camellia oleifera industry in this county, but also drives related industries in neighboring counties and cities. One of the processing enterprises has also been recognized by the municipal government as "the leading enterprise of municipal agricultural industrialization management".

"Promoting oil through science and technology" has improved the quality of Xingguo Camellia oleifera forest. Based on the general survey of Camellia oleifera, the county selected a number of high-quality "Ershuitao" varieties and cultivated high-quality rootstocks. Branches of 42 excellent clonal varieties were introduced from Zhejiang Yalin Institute as scions, and through grafting, more than 80 mu of improved varieties were built into a dual-purpose seedling raising base. With the strong support of the national, provincial and municipal forestry authorities, the county took five towns, including Tea Garden, Juncun, Liangcun, Nankeng and Bian Feng, as demonstration towns, and implemented a large-scale transformation of low-grade camellia oleifera. After three years of project construction, * * * transformed low-yield camellia oleifera10.6 million mu, and increased the output of camellia oil by 22,000 Jin. The 9 mu Camellia Camellia Camellia Hill contracted by Shangguan in Yidu Village, cha yuan xiang, has been improved from 2.6 kg per mu to 1 1.3 kg after the implementation of low-grade transformation technology. In recent years, the county plans to arrange the low-yield transformation of 1 10,000 mu of Camellia oleifera every year to gradually increase the output of Camellia oleifera. In order to do a good job in popularizing new varieties and technologies, the county also holds regular technical training courses, publishes materials, promotes new varieties and technologies, and standardizes low-reform technical standards in combination with the farmers' knowledge project implemented by the county Camellia Office. Through these measures, a number of large oil producers with an annual output of more than 500 kilograms of tea oil have emerged in the county.

The present situation of Camellia oleifera processing industry in Xingguo is particularly concerned by people. It is understood that there are only two large-scale processing enterprises in the county at present, and the rest are small family workshops. Insufficient deep processing, the proportion of products converted into commodities is not high. Because the brand of leading enterprises has not been fully formed, the product popularity is not high, which directly affects Xingguo tea oil to enter a broader market. Relevant persons pointed out that it is the only way to "upgrade" Camellia oleifera industry in Xingguo by establishing brand innovation consciousness, stepping out of traditional small workshops and actively integrating into the big market. Therefore, the county needs to continue to work hard and take measures to liberate the camellia oleifera industry from the small-scale business model of retail investors, and form an industrialization model of enterprise joint base and base joint farmers (including establishing a high-yield camellia oleifera forest base); At the same time, improve the processing technology as soon as possible, make full use of market means, and truly make Xingguo tea oil a "popular" brand wherever it goes.

According to the person in charge of Xingguo County Forestry Bureau, the county will further establish and improve the responsibility system for leading cadres at all levels, sign letters of responsibility, clarify tasks, and strictly reward and punish; Fully mobilize the enthusiasm of scientific and technological personnel, implement sending science and technology to the countryside, serve farmers free of charge, and run "farmers' knowledge training courses" in stages and batches; Do a good job in the popularization and application of improved varieties, introduce "Ershuitao" improved varieties bred locally and selected by provincial and municipal forestry departments for afforestation, and eliminate inferior varieties year by year; Grasping the reality and low reform, focusing on the routine transformation of 400 thousand mu of low-yield forest to improve the output per unit area; Do a good job in processing, carry out deep processing of withered tea leaves, support leading enterprises in tea oil processing, solve the problem of farmers' selling oil and cakes, and improve the added value of camellia oleifera products.

From June, 5438 to February, 2004, the State Forestry Administration announced the third batch of "Hometown of China Famous and Excellent Economic Forests", and Xingguo County was named "Hometown of Camellia oleifera in China", which was known as "Green Oil Depot in the South of the Yangtze River". Xingguo county is rich in camellia resources. Camellia oleifera forest in the county covers an area of 523,000 mu, with an annual output of 2.3 million kilograms and a maximum annual output of nearly 3.3 million kilograms. Camellia oleifera industry is a sunrise industry with broad market prospects. After winning the title of "Hometown of Camellia oleifera in China", Xingguo County has more confidence in making Camellia oleifera industry bigger and stronger. Xingguo tea oil is famous for its "fragrance", and it floats farther and farther.

The development of Camellia oleifera industry in Xingguo County is the result of the county's emphasis on Camellia oleifera production for many years. For a long time, Xingguo County Party Committee and county government have always regarded the development of camellia oleifera production as an industry to enrich the people. The county party committee and government have formulated the county-wide camellia production plan and the implementation plan of camellia industry development, established the county camellia production leading group and established the camellia office in the county forestry bureau. The county has also formulated a series of preferential policies for this purpose: forest rights are put in place and remain stable for a long time, and will not be adjusted with the increase or decrease of population; Encourage Camellia oleifera forest to operate in various ways, such as contracting, leasing and joint-stock system, give financial support to large Camellia oleifera households and provide loan interest subsidies; The county finance returns the special tax on Camellia oleifera seeds in full every year, which is used to develop Camellia oleifera production and arrange forestry departments to cultivate strong seedlings of 65,438+10,000 yuan. The county forestry bureau also allocates 50,000 yuan from the afforestation fund every year for the transformation of low-yield camellia oleifera forest and scientific and technological investment.
