Is there a place with rubber trees in Zhanjiang?
Natural rubber is a typical tropical crop. Due to the limitation of geographical distribution, natural rubber has become a resource-constrained industry, which has attracted close attention from all sides. According to the data of International Rubber Research Organization, the global natural rubber supply has been in short supply since 2000. In 2003, the international supply of natural rubber was 640,000 tons, in 2004 it was 780,000 tons, and in 2006 it was 6,543,800 tons. From 2004 to 2006, the contradiction between supply and demand will further expand. Since 200 1, China has been the world's largest importer and consumer of natural rubber for three consecutive years. The gap between domestic supply and demand is increasing year by year, and the dependence on imported rubber is increasing year by year. With China's entry into WTO, global economic integration and steady growth of national economy, the domestic demand for natural rubber will increase rapidly. Natural rubber has a broad market space at home and abroad. At present, the natural rubber industry has been included in one of the five specific action plans of the National Agricultural Reclamation Action Plan. In June, 2005, Guangdong Guangken Rubber Group Co., Ltd. was established with the approval of the Ministry of Agriculture, with total assets of 1 1 100 million yuan, in order to integrate the rubber resources of Guangdong Agricultural Reclamation and strengthen the natural rubber industry of Guangdong Agricultural Reclamation. The Group has integrated 24 domestic rubber production bases, established 3 branches (rubber processing plants) and/kloc-0 scientific research institutions, and established large overseas rubber production and processing bases in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The annual output of rubber at home and abroad is 300,000 tons. Guangdong Land Reclamation plans to reach 6.5438+0 million mu of rubber in Guangdong Land Reclamation by 2065.438+00, including 600,000 mu of domestic rubber plantations, and 400,000 mu of foreign rubber plantations will be developed through equity participation or holding. The total output of dry rubber is planned to reach 400,000 tons, including 35,000 tons at home and 365,000 tons abroad. Zhanjiang also actively resumed natural rubber planting. At the beginning of 2008, Changshan Farm of Zhanjiang Agricultural Reclamation was listed in Changshan Town of Lianjiang, Zhanjiang, and the farm will resume rubber planting. This is a landmark sign that Zhanjiang Agricultural Reclamation resumed planting natural rubber in a large area. It is understood that Zhanjiang State Farms plans to resume planting 3,000 to 5,000 mu of rubber every year from this year, including Changshan Farm. It is estimated that it will take about 6 years to resume planting rubber to 20,000 mu. Sammul Chan, director of Zhanjiang Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, said: "Rubber has always been the main business of Zhanjiang Agricultural Reclamation Bureau. There are 9 professional rubber farms 19 in the reclamation area, with a rubber planting area of 333,900 mu and an annual output of dry rubber13,423 tons. It is the largest latex production base in China. Natural rubber products in reclamation area mainly include high ammonia concentrated latex, standard rubber and rubber sheet, and relatively mature rubber planting. If local farmers need it, the agricultural reclamation will be happy to provide them with help in terms of seedlings and planting techniques. "
