The state will encourage all localities to establish a sustainable and stable multi-input mechanism, guide social capital to enter the mountains and forests, and invest in the forest, grass and Chinese medicinal materials industry. Nine major forest, grass and Chinese medicinal materials production areas have been planned.
According to the "Guidelines for the Development of Forestry and Grassland Chinese Medicinal Materials Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") recently issued by the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, the country will develop new areas in the Daxing'an Mountains, Changbai Mountains, Sanbei Windbreak and Sand Fixing Areas, Loess Plateau Soil and Water Conservation Areas, Huanghuaihai Areas, The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan region, the Lingnan region, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and other regions will build forest-grass Chinese medicinal materials production areas.
According to the relevant person in charge of the State Forestry and Grass Administration, with the growing demand for healthy life, the demand for high-quality Chinese medicinal materials is increasing.
Taking advantage of forest and grass resources to produce Chinese medicinal materials through ecological cultivation, wild tending and imitation wild cultivation, etc., can provide safe, efficient, green and organic high-quality medicinal materials to meet the social demand for high-quality Chinese medicinal materials.
Forests and grasslands are the natural breeding grounds for most medicinal plants. Using forest and grass resources to develop Chinese medicinal materials industry has huge potential and obvious advantages.
According to the "Guide", the use of underforest land resources to produce Chinese medicinal materials does not compete with grains for land, and meets the country's requirements for "non-grain" and "non-agricultural" cultivated land.
The growth environment of Chinese herbal medicines in forests and grasses is superior, and it is rarely polluted by pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, etc., and the air quality is excellent. It has the natural advantage of cultivating green and organic Chinese herbal medicines.
Forest and grass resources are mostly distributed in remote areas and economically underdeveloped areas. The development of Chinese herbal medicine industry can promote local economic development and consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation.
In 2021, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Protection and Development of Forestry and Grassland", which listed Chinese herbal medicinal materials in the key projects of advantageous and characteristic industries, and proposed the ecological cultivation of Chinese herbal medicinal materials. Plan goals and priorities.
According to the "Guide", all localities will promote the ecological cultivation of forest-grass Chinese medicinal materials, select and breed excellent varieties according to the regional geographical environment, vegetation type, climatic and soil conditions, and habitat characteristics, and establish the ecological planting, wild tending and cultivation of forest-grass Chinese medicinal materials according to the variety in different regions. Imitation wild cultivation base.
For example, in the large and small Xing'an Mountains forest-grass Chinese medicinal material production area, the medicinal materials ginseng, fritillary, gentian, etc. will be ecologically grown through the forest-medicine mixed cropping model.
Imitation wild cultivation of Schisandra, Guan Huangbai, Acanthopanax senticosus, etc.; ecological planting of lily, Polygonatum chinensis, Scrophularia, Polygonatum, etc. in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Wild tending of Pueraria lobata, Polygonum cuspidatum, etc.; ecological planting of betel nut, longan meat, lychee core, etc.
Wild tending of Drynaria japonica, kudzu, shandou root, etc.
At the same time, according to the production scale, types and processing requirements of the origin of medicinal materials in the region, taking into account the regional economy and traffic conditions, in the main producing areas of forest and herbal medicinal materials, the medicinal materials origin processing and circulation bases will be built in different regions.
Provide production technology, information, quality inspection and other services.
The "National Underforest Economic Development Guide (2021-2030)" proposes that by 2030, the total output value of my country's underforest economy will reach 1.3 trillion yuan.
By then, the national under-forest Chinese medicinal material ecological cultivation area will reach 10 million mu, and the contribution of the under-forest Chinese medicinal material industry will account for a larger proportion.
The "Guide" makes it clear that under the premise of not destroying the ecology, forest vegetation and compliance with laws and regulations, it is possible to use the second-level national public welfare forest land and local public welfare forest land to appropriately carry out the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials under forest.
Encourage the development of commercial forests with the main purpose of producing medicinal materials, and promote large-scale and intensive management.
In the construction of national under-forest economic demonstration bases, key national forestry leading enterprises, and national forestry industry demonstration parks, priority will be given to supporting forest-grass Chinese medicinal material bases, enterprises and parks.
Priority should be given to supporting high-quality forest-grass Chinese medicinal products to enter the forest ecological label product list.
