China News Service, Baishan, March 19 (Li Dan) Jilin Baishan, with a history of 1,500 years of wild ginseng mining and 450 years of artificially cultivated ginseng, is moving from northeast China to the world.
In the northeast, although the ice and snow have not yet completely melted, local ginseng growers in Baishan have already begun preparing materials.
Compared with the past, standardized planting has become a new model adopted by farmers in recent years.
Zhao Xinyin, a ginseng farmer in Xintunzi Town, is currently participating in a ginseng cultivation technology training class held in Fusong County. “The dynamics and regularities of pests and diseases in recent years, the operation steps of ginseng farmland planting techniques, and new technologies for safe and efficient prevention and control of related pests and diseases. ..." Listening to the teacher's explanation, Zhao Xinyin wrote down the main points one by one on the notebook.
As an old ginseng farmer, Zhao Xinyin knows very well that ginseng planting is now different from before. The old planting techniques and ideas are far behind the development of society, and ginseng growers like him are in urgent need of “recharging”.
Under the guidance of standardized cultivation, many ginseng farmers, including Zhao Xinyin, have mastered new techniques and also learned how to sell ginseng.
With the in-depth advancement of the ginseng industry revitalization project in Jilin Province, Baishan, as the main ginseng producing area, has been exploring and innovating.
Nowadays, ginseng, known as the "King of Herbs", "breaks the circle" and embarks on a new journey.
Breakthrough: Establish a standardized system
According to statistics, the output of ginseng in Jilin Province accounts for 85% and 70% of China and the world respectively. It is known that "the world ginseng looks at China, and the Chinese ginseng looks at Jilin."
As the main production area of ginseng, in the strategic plan of Baishan, Jilin, the layout of ginseng is to bring a rapid increase in the economic output value of the entire city.

Baishan Fusong County is located in the hinterland of Changbai Mountain and is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Ginseng".
There are natural conditions such as climate, soil, and sunlight suitable for the growth of ginseng. Good ecology is the talent of Baishan Fusong ginseng industry, but the growth of ginseng is not always smooth.
At the beginning of the 21st century, although ginseng planting in Jilin turned from woodland to farmland, the planting mode was still dominated by household planting, which resulted in uneven ginseng planting levels, fluctuating ginseng yields, and a small amount of pesticide residues.
"The price of Korean ginseng was 20 times that of our country's ginseng at that time. Our ginseng scored very poorly in the international market. The high-end market for ginseng manufactured products is occupied by Japan, South Korea, and Europe. The export of Chinese ginseng is basically based on crude medicine raw materials." Said Xu Huaiyou, a ginseng planting expert in Baishan.
Facing the gap, Jilin ginseng shoulders the mission of breaking ice.
Baishan began to explore and try the green ginseng industry, and the construction of the ginseng standardization system is an important step.
Baishan City took the lead in establishing the Changbai Mountain Ginseng Planting Alliance to comprehensively promote the "safe and high-quality ginseng production technology" and the "soil testing and planting technology".
Formulate 12 operating procedures and quality standards for ginseng seedlings, planting, processing, products, etc., guide ginseng farmers to plant ginseng in a standardized way, solve problems such as non-standard medication, and establish a ginseng quality traceability system.
The quality of ginseng has been significantly improved under the standardization system.
In addition to standardizing ginseng cultivation, Baishan has also established 5 provincial-level ginseng standardized production bases and 40 municipal-level ginseng standardized production areas, and completed the GAP (standardized and pollution-free production of ginseng) in the three main ginseng producing counties of Jingyu, Changbai, and Fusong. (Chemical cultivation) base certification; at the same time, explore and innovate diversified ginseng planting models, vigorously develop non-forest land planted ginseng and understory ginseng; carry out ginseng soil testing and planting vocational skills training, improve ginseng input supervision and quality tracking and testing, and agricultural Residual exceeding standards are effectively controlled.
Zhao Xinyin, who has participated in training for many times, is a direct beneficiary of standardized seed ginseng. He told reporters: "I have learned a lot of unfamiliar knowledge by participating in the ginseng cultivation technology training class. According to the learned ginseng planting standards, the quality of the ginseng grown is also good. Okay, the price is 4-5 yuan more per catty."
The ginseng revitalization project in Baishan City has brought the ginseng industry into the era of standardized management. The government has also provided ginseng households with various subsidy policies such as soil testing, ginseng planting insurance, and purchase of agricultural machinery, so that the benefits of participating in agriculture and the quality of ginseng have been "win-win".
Growth point: to create a full industrial chain of "Ginseng +"
The improvement of ginseng quality has given Baishan the confidence to make the ginseng industry better and stronger. How to turn "resources" into "long-term benefits"?
A "Ginseng+" whole industry chain idea is formally formed, with the goal of increasing the added value of Baishan's ginseng.
From the beginning of trials of ginseng medicine and food homology in Jilin Province, Baishan City became the vanguard of the first trial.
In cooperation with universities, colleges and scientific research institutions, we have developed a batch of intensively processed products with core competitiveness, such as ginsenosides, ginseng polypeptides and ginseng polysaccharides.

At present, there are 232 large-scale ginseng processing plants in Baishan City, 32 intensive processing enterprises, and 12 provincial-level key leading enterprises.
The annual processing of water ginseng is 12,000 tons, and the production of finished ginseng is 4,000 tons, accounting for 63% of the labor force in Jilin Province. The labor output value of labor is 3.2 billion yuan, and the processing rate of sophisticated products is 40%. The products cover finished ginseng, medicines, health products, There are 820 varieties of five major categories of chemical products and ginseng food.
These data are largely a measure of the refined processing level of Baishan ginseng.
After product breakthroughs, Baishan has successively built industrial platforms such as modern ginseng industrial parks, ginseng characteristic industrial towns, and pastoral complexes, developed a new model of "ginseng +" entire industrial chain, and developed "ginseng + tourism" and "ginseng + health". New business formats such as "ginseng + farming experience" accelerate transformation and integration, and optimize and upgrade the industrial structure.
Baishan's economic vitality has attracted the attention of global investors.
With the three ginseng industrial parks of Fusong, Jingyu, and Changbai as carriers, more than a dozen well-known domestic and foreign companies including Beijing Tongrentang have settled in Baishan to develop the ginseng industry, forming a regional development of industrial clusters.
"The government has established a platform for enterprises entering the park and introduced corresponding preferential policies, so that we can organize production with confidence." Li Ziyi, deputy manager of Fusong Nature Bioengineering Co., Ltd., said that with the assistance of the Ginseng Industry Development Center, they applied for ginseng The "Edible Ginseng Fine and Deep Processing Industry Consortium" project of a characteristic and advantageous industry cluster has won a project fund of 9 million yuan to improve the quality control of raw materials, stretch the deep processing chain, increase the added value of products, and study the purification and separation of ginseng stems and leaves. The rare ginsenoside monomer complements the technical and product shortcomings of intensive and deep processing of edible ginseng.
New kinetic energy: "One Valley, One City" Strategy Help
In Baishan, the ginseng industry has risen from a traditional leading industry to a strategic ecological industry.
In recent years, Baishan City has adhered to the establishment of an ecological city, a strong industrial city, and a distinctive city. Taking the opportunity of accelerating the promotion of green transformation and comprehensively revitalizing high-quality development, it has proposed the construction of "China Green Organic Valley·Changbai Mountain Forest Food and Medicine City", which means "One The "Gu Yicheng" development strategy provides a strong guarantee for the green and healthy development of the ginseng industry.
Promote the integration of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and encourage farmers to participate in the development of the ginseng industry, so that the income of ginseng farmers will continue to grow steadily.
Baishan's standardized ginseng planting technology has matured, and the intensive processing industry chain is gradually extending and stretching.
According to the plan, this year Baishan will accelerate the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, actively develop the pharmaceutical and health industry, implement the Changbai Mountain ginseng revitalization project, and accelerate the promotion of Shihuida Pharmaceutical's new plant and other projects.
At present, Baishan City occupies one third of the ginseng origin protection counties (cities) approved by the 15 countries in Jilin Province.

From individual planting to standardized planting, from medicinal materials to food materials, from single ginseng sales to the development of the entire industry chain, the change of a single ginseng reflects the exploration and innovation of the supply-side reform of Jilin's characteristic industries.
It is understood that in 2020, the scale of ginseng planting in Jilin Province will reach 1.344 million mu, and the output value will exceed 60 billion yuan.
Jilin Province has accelerated the promotion of achievement transformation and product research and development, and realized the development and utilization of ginseng roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. It has developed more than 1,000 categories of ginseng food, medicine, health products, cosmetics, and biological products in five series, and concentrated efforts to create "Changbai Mountain Ginseng" brand.
At present, Jilin's ginseng products cover many countries and regions in Asia, Europe and America.
