The natural environment of Wufeng is unique, and it is known as the "source of immortals". The territory is rich in natural resources, hydropower, minerals, forest products, tourism, etc., and its development prospects are extremely broad.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the economic development of Wufeng was very backward and people's lives were miserable. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), relations of production gradually improved and people's living standards improved year by year. Especially in the past 20 years since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held, the people of the whole county have been bathed in the sunshine of the Party's ethnic policy and the spring breeze and dew of reform and opening up, based on the advantages of resources, and adhered to the development path of "promoting agriculture by agriculture, leading agriculture by industry, developing in series and virtuous circle", and the national economy has developed rapidly. By the end of 1998, the county has achieved a GDP of 5 10/00000 yuan, a fiscal revenue of 50180000 yuan, and a per capita net income of 1404 yuan, which are 4.7 times and 5 times higher than 1978 respectively.
First, develop characteristic agriculture based on resources.
In the early days of the People's Republic of China, the agricultural production efficiency of Wufeng was extremely low. There is not a machine or a reservoir in the county, and the farming method is very backward. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), all previous Party committees and governments insisted on putting agriculture and rural work first in economic work. Capital construction of farmland water conservancy in Daxing, building reservoirs, terraces, repairing canals, harnessing rivers and improving production conditions. By 1998, the county per capita has 0.7 mu of farmland for drought and flood protection. Vigorously introduce and popularize agricultural science and technology, formula fertilization, model cultivation, plastic film mulching and improved varieties popularization, and the agricultural production efficiency has been steadily improved. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, rural reform was comprehensively deepened, and the household contract responsibility system gave full play to farmers' enthusiasm for production. Since 1989, the per capita grain in the county has been stable above 450kg 10, which has solved the problem of food and clothing for the people in the county.
In 1990s, agricultural industrialization developed vigorously, and market agriculture, benefit agriculture and ecological agriculture released great potential. Formed a new pattern of agricultural economy in one township, one industry, one household, one garden, one village, one product or more villages. Forestry, tea, tobacco, animal husbandry, vegetables and medicinal materials have become the important pillars of Wufeng agricultural economy. 2 million mu of forest, 65438+100000 mu of tea, 40000 mu of cigarettes, 50000 heads of livestock and poultry, 50000 mu of vegetables and 400000 mu of medicinal materials. The six bases cover the mountains, rivers and villages in the county. Mountains should be used as crops, trees as food and fertilizer, mountain resources should be used to build green banks, and forestry will develop steadily. It has successively won the titles of "advanced county for eliminating barren hills" and "advanced county for national economic forest construction" in Hubei Province, with a forest coverage rate of 73.8%, ranking first among counties (cities) in Hubei Province. Invite famous teachers, create famous brands and make a name for yourself. Wufeng tea is fragrant all over the world, and Maojian tea won the national green food certificate. Tianma Haojian Tea has obtained health care patents, and more than ten kinds of famous teas, such as Qianzhangbaihao, Changle Maojian and Narcissus Green Tea, have won gold medals in international and domestic food fairs. One base, one train, leads the pillow market, long-tailed farmers, six dragons take off and agriculture flourishes. 1998, the number of township enterprises and individual economic employees in the county reached 19555, accounting for more than 1 0% of the total agricultural population in the county, and the output value of enterprises was11500,000 yuan.

Second, build national industries according to local conditions.
In the early days of the People's Republic of China, there were only a few paper-burning, oil-pressing and ceramic workshops in Wufeng with poor equipment and backward technology, and the total industrial output value of 1952 was only 830,000 yuan. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held, with the shift of work focus, successive county committees and governments put industrial production on the important agenda, skillfully applied ethnic policies, based on superior resources, adhered to market orientation, implemented a series of development, paid special attention to the construction of key projects, and tied limited funds together to run large industries and superior industries, initially forming a series of projects such as hydropower, forest products, mineral development, metal smelting and cement. Among them, the hydropower industry has stepped into the ranks of advanced counties in small hydropower construction in China, with an installed capacity of 7 1 10,000 kilowatts and an annual power generation of 250 million kwh. 1998 The annual tax revenue of hydropower industry reached 654.38+500,000 yuan. On this basis, the county established Hubei Tianyu Electric Power Co., Ltd., the first county-level electric power group in Hubei, with total assets of 440 million yuan; Sino-German joint venture Shanshan Wood-based Panel Co., Ltd., with an annual output of 30,000 cubic meters of medium density fiberboard, is one of the top ten leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization in Yichang City, Hubei Province. After the second phase of melamine wear-resistant floor and new decorative board production line is put into production, the annual profit and tax will exceed 30 million yuan. Two groups and two industries support half of Wufeng's national industries. 1998, the original value of fixed assets of industrial enterprises in the county reached 520 million yuan, and the industrial output value reached 525 million yuan, up 43.4 times and 22.8 times respectively compared with 1978; The tax revenue reached more than 25 million yuan, accounting for more than 50% of the county's total fiscal revenue.
Third, develop large markets in parallel.

Preferential policies such as conforming to the trend, changing the organizational system, taking care of the people's trade, and reducing or exempting the value-added tax and income tax for the people's trade enterprises have improved the business ability and expanded the space for survival and development. The supply and marketing cooperative's 10,000-head pig factory and 5000-ton feed processing factory have promoted the overall industrialization of pigs in the county. Chain stores, specialty stores and boutique houses are crowded with streets and alleys. More than 20 specialized markets for agricultural and sideline products and various small commodity wholesale markets connect the small markets in the mountain with the large markets outside the mountain, attracting more than 1 10,000 farmers to abandon agriculture and enter the market. From 65438 households to 0998 households, the number of self-employed households in the county reached 9002, with an output value of10.50 billion yuan.

Fourth, social development is changing with each passing day.
Traffic network construction, connecting the big market, urban and rural roads with three rings and nine spokes, extending in all directions, more than 90% of administrative villages are connected to highways, and the county mileage is 1280 km; Laying underground optical cables, building information bridges, opening township program-controlled telephones, realizing 129 paging, 139 digital mobile and 169 multimedia internet access in some townships, and installing 8860 telephones in county towns. One machine in hand, roaming the world, living in the depths of mountains, opening up the world. Civilized towns are built, regional centers are developed, modern high-rise buildings in urban and rural areas are row upon row, urban features and rural scenery complement each other, and a neat and beautiful "pocket county" stands on the banks of Tianchi River. Set up transmission lines to solve lighting problems. Every village is electrified, and every household is lit up. Color TV sets and refrigerators enter the homes of ordinary people. 1996, becoming the second batch of primary electrification counties in China. The implementation of the moral and political project has solved the drinking water problem, and the drinking water problem of 6.5438+0.8 million farmers has basically been solved. Promote ethnic education and establish a medical network. "Project Hope", "Nine-year Plan" and "Nine-year Poverty Alleviation Plan" are everywhere; Four central hospitals, 1 4 grass-roots hospitals and 256 village clinics have formed the county-wide medical and health network, and some endemic diseases that seriously endanger people's health have been eradicated. Depicting the "rainbow" in the air and publicizing the policy of enriching the people, the silver line flew over thousands of waters in Qian Shan, and radio waves were introduced into thousands of households, with radio and television coverage reaching 90% and 85% respectively.

Among ethnic minority cadres and technicians, 963 have college education or above, accounting for 27. 1%, and technicians with senior titles account for 19.8% of the total.
Looking back, we have made brilliant achievements. After several generations of efforts, Wufeng County has made great achievements, but compared with the surrounding developed areas, there is still a big gap, which is mainly reflected in the small industrial scale, low agricultural benefits and serious shortage of follow-up financial projects. In the coming period, the general idea of Wufeng's economic development is: around the regional economic layout of the county's "two wings, three triangles and four counties in Yi Long", fully implement the strategy of rejuvenating the county through science and education, opening up the county and adjusting the strong county, and make great efforts to fight the three tough battles of financial resources construction, poverty alleviation and development, and infrastructure construction, so as to keep the county's economic development speed and comprehensive economic benefits higher than the provincial average. By 2000, the gross domestic product reached 654.38+0 billion yuan, the fiscal revenue exceeded 1 0 billion yuan, the per capita net income in rural areas exceeded 3,000 yuan, the industrial added value exceeded 600 million yuan, and the total investment in fixed assets in five years reached 654.38+0.60 billion yuan, twice as much as that in the previous five years.
"Yi Long" takes Yuyangguan Town as the leader, driving the all-round development of the county's economy, gradually building Yuyangguan into a civilized town in the whole province, a strong town in the whole city and a "leading" town in the county, and making it the economic center of the county as soon as possible. The "two wings" take Tianyu and Shanshan as the two wings to drive the county economy to take off. Forestry takes MDF production line as the core, based on the deep series development of forest products, and builds 30 thousand mu of raw material forest base every year to maintain the sustainable utilization of forestry resources; Implement river basin development, cultivate and expand the pillar industry of hydropower, and strive to make the installed capacity of the county reach 6.5438+0.3 million kilowatts in three to five years. The "triangle" takes the Suojinshan Hydropower Station as the leader, accelerates the construction of "four reservoirs and nine stations" and affects the economic development of southwest China; Taking Tianma water conservancy and hydropower project as the core, speeding up the cascade development of the two river basins will affect the economic development of the northwest region; Accelerate the development of forest products dominated by medium density fiberboard, and promote the economic development of the east and even the county. The "four counties" will build Wufeng into a strong forestry county, a big hydropower county, a famous tea county and a county with tourism characteristics as soon as possible. Push a prosperous, stable, full of vigor and vitality of the new five peaks into the 2 1 century.
