Strengthen characteristic industries
Camel milk powder, camel hair quilt, camel milk whey mask... Xinjiang Wangyuan Biotechnology Group, which settled in Fuhai County, built a camel product industry chain based on local large-scale camel breeding, turning the "boat of the desert" into an "industry" The boat".
"In the past, camels were mainly used to move houses; now I found that camels are full of treasures. I didn't expect to increase income by raising camels." Farmer Manati Nurdanbek in Kalamagai Town, Fuhai County told reporters.
Fuhai County organizes scattered farmers to focus on the intensive processing of high-yield, high-quality, efficient, ecological and safe camel products, relying on leading enterprises to promote the camel industry toward scale, standardization, and branding, and transform the advantages of characteristic resources Advantages for industrial development.
Xinjiang's special geographic location, unique natural environment, and strong folk customs have given birth to many specialty products.
Focusing on planting distinctive advantages and tapping development potential, Xinjiang has decided to focus on the development of petroleum and petrochemicals, coal and coal chemical industry, electric power, textiles and clothing, electronic products, forest and fruit, agricultural and sideline product processing, naan, wine, tourism, etc. during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. Big industry.
In the wine industry, Xinjiang’s current wine grape planting area and wine production account for a quarter of the country, giving birth to a number of influential wine brands.
