Development ideas
Guided by the market, guided by science and technology, and based on resources, we will vigorously develop a river (Taohe River), implement two key projects (returning farmland to forests and grasslands, building terraces, and managing small watersheds), implement the strategy of structural adjustment of rural aquaculture of "two oceans (sheep) and one medicine", build four pillar industries of medicinal materials, animal husbandry, minerals and potato starch, and strive to establish five small rural economic entities (small forest farms)
We will fully implement the six development strategies of opening to the outside world, structural adjustment, building a county with medicinal materials, strengthening the county with hydropower, developing the county with commerce and giving priority to the development of science and technology, focusing on infrastructure construction such as water, electricity and roads, ecological environment construction focusing on returning farmland to forests (grass), urban system and well-off village construction focusing on rural labor transfer, and Zhou Min business center construction focusing on market system. Efforts will be made to promote the cultivation of five major industries, such as medicinal materials, animal husbandry, potato starch, minerals and tourism, speed up the construction of a "one river and two lines" economic growth zone (one river refers to Taohe River, and the two lines refer to the transit section of Minxian 2 12 National Highway and 306 Provincial Highway), speed up the development of the individual and private economy, accelerate the transformation from agriculture-based to industry-based, and strive to achieve the three major goals of increasing farmers' income, employees' income and fiscal income.
