Development direction and projects

Development direction:

In the future development of the forest farm, first, through the definition of classified management division, the forest with ecological benefits as the main purpose is divided into ecological public welfare forest, scientific management, the pursuit of maximum ecological and social benefits; the forest with economic benefits as the main purpose is divided into commercial forest, to improve forest productivity, the pursuit of maximum economic benefits. Second, relying on the local resource advantages, we should develop and utilize wild vegetables, edible fungi, medicinal plants and other mountain products in a planned and organized way; at the same time, we should make full use of forest resources, vigorously develop the planting and breeding industry, and cultivate Chinese herbal medicine, economic crops, edible fungi and other projects.

Development projects:

We will develop the planting and breeding industries. Expand diversified industries.
