The economy of Baizhu Township

Baizhu is a typical agricultural town in mountainous areas. Traditional agricultural industries are mainly mid-season rice cultivation and black goat and antelope breeding, supplemented by alpine vegetable and medicinal materials cultivation and bee and poultry breeding. With the advantages of cold climate and no environmental pollution, the agricultural and sideline products of white bamboo, such as honey, winter bamboo shoots, chestnut, black goat and pepper, have occupied a place in the market and become the first choice of green food. In 2003, white bamboo was listed as "pollution-free vegetable base in Jiangxi Province".

The development orientation of white bamboo is the hometown of alpine eco-tourism, longevity, border trade and pollution-free vegetables. The developed white bamboo is becoming the "back garden" of Pingxiang and a green pearl in western Jiangxi. After 2 1 century, with the completion of 3 19 national highway, Baizhu ushered in an opportunity of rapid development. Under the leadership of the township party committee and the government, the industrious and simple people of Baizhu made concerted efforts to forge ahead and increase investment attraction. The township's contracted capital exceeded 1 100 million yuan, and a number of emerging industries and tourism industries such as Runxin Mining Co., Ltd., Julong Mining Co., Ltd. and Bihu Power Station are taking shape in Baizhu, injecting new vitality into the economic development of Baizhu.

The township regards the development of green ecological economy as the main focus of enriching the people and rejuvenating the township, and puts forward the idea of "protecting a mountain, using a handful of water, developing a line and developing a piece". "Protecting the mountain" means closing the mountain to facilitate afforestation in an all-round way, protecting 240,000 mu of forest in the township, and protecting nearly 100 yew and ginkgo trees over 200 years old. Since 2006, * * * has banned 3 illegal timber purchasing points, confiscated 40 cubic meters of illegally felled timber, and investigated and dealt with 3 farmers who illegally felled timber. At the same time, we should do a good job in the reform of returning farmland to forests and forestry property rights system, safeguard the rights and interests of forest farmers and mobilize their enthusiasm for afforestation and forest protection. "Using a handful of water" means developing small hydropower and mineral water. By 2006, there were 9 small hydropower enterprises in the township, with a total installed capacity of 8,550 kilowatts and an annual power generation of 50 million kWh. "Developing a Line" means encouraging and guiding the villagers along the 3 19 National Road to develop farmhouse tourism, farmhouse leisure, farmhouse catering, courtyard economy and tertiary industry services. "Developing an area" is to focus on three villages in Yuanping and make full use of the traffic advantages of Yuanping near Pingcheng to carry out planning and development. Our country's special catering is famous, which has promoted vegetable planting and leisure agriculture in this area and attracted many tourists.

The township also regards attracting investment and attracting talents and talents as a catalyst for developing green ecological economy and green industry. Since 2007, the township has introduced four green eco-enterprises and two leisure projects, with an actual investment of nearly 60 million yuan and more than 300 workers, which can increase the fiscal revenue by nearly 5 million yuan and become a new economic growth point of the township.
